Munich Day #8 - 1/17/2011






Today is the first day of the Bau Munchen ’11 Architecture trade show. Located in Munchen – Riem area the massive building holds over 500 vendors and over 100 speakers. When we got there, we traveled around the venue quickly looking at the exhibitors, and some of the more interesting details. We then, saw the end of a lecture given by Peter Cook of CRAB architects. His vision on life and architecture is incredible and visionary. I was extremely inspired by his words and had so many ideas running through my brain at the conclusion of his paper.

Leaving the lecture we traveled to another part of the venue where we entered the symposium portion of the exhibition. In this massive lecture hall we sat and listened to several papers by the Department of Urban Planning, Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Deutsche Energy Agency, Jana Reverdin, Dr. Gerhard Hausladen, Professor Graubner, and last but not least, Dr. Werner Lang. After these intellectual lectures we all traveled up stairs to a classic old world Bavarian dinner, compliments of the trade fair. Today was a very interesting day and I am looking forward to the next Bau Days to come.
