Drawing on the provocative question posed by Raymond Carver in his 1987 book What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, the UTEM School of Architecture Week 2018 celebrates its 21st anniversary.

The KÖMMERLING Challenge is KÖMMERLING’s major initiative to contribute to a shift in the construction model, accommodating high-energy-efficiency projects with a viable construction budget by integrating the most efficient and innovative construction techniques. The starting point for this challenge was the unique ‘Edificio Zero KÖMMERLING Architecture Competition,’ held in 2017, which serves as the basis for the brand’s new offices in Spain. The vision of the KÖMMERLING Challenge is built on several pillars: the training of architects; the use of new methodologies that consider not only construction solutions but also processes and workflows; and placing special emphasis on project certification and its various phases.
