ReBuMat 2024: Symposium in Hanoi
International Symposium on Resource-Efficient
Construction using Sustainable Building Materials
As part of our research project, “German-Vietnamese Collaborative Project on Resource-efficient Construction using Sustainable Building Materials” (ReBuMat), we have the objective to promote research and develop building materials and construction methods for energy-efficient, resource-saving and generally sustainable construction in Vietnam and other places with similar conditions.
Furthermore, through international networking and interdisciplinary problem analysis, fundamental research and creative practice orientation, ReBuMat aims to transfer scientific results and knowledge-based standards into practical construction and planning in the world’s regions with dynamic construction activity.
An important part of our networking is to bring together researchers, practitioners, firms and other stakeholders from this field at two connected symposia:
The event will cover the following topics:
- bio-based building materials
- recycled building materials
- resource-efficient and recyclable building systems
- structural integration and the development of adapted structures
- material characterisation and life-cycle assessment
- material governance
- scalable applications
- further topics in the field of interest
Important Dates
| First part of the Symposium in Hanoi, Vietnam (Hanoi University of Civil Engineering) | May 13 – May 17, 2024 |
| Second part of the Symposium in Lübeck, Germany (TH Lübeck) | tbd in 2024 |
Program
The program for the symposium will feature various formats aimed at bringing together colleagues, partners, and researchers to discuss the topics mentioned. Participants are invited to engage in workshops focused on straw bale building and compressed mud house, providing an opportunity to explore solutions involving bio-based and circular materials within Vietnam’s construction sector. Further information can be found in the accompanying flyer.
