In conversation with Stefanie Weidner from Werner Sobek about building culture and infrastructure

On July 19, 2024, the Federal Foundation of Baukultur made a stop in Stuttgart as part of its summer tour and transformed the Raumgalerie into a lively place of exchange. The focus was on the exhibition "EINEINSZWEI - Feuerwehrarchitektur", curated by Christian Gaus, Saskia Gaus and Thomas Geuder.

The highlight of the evening was the gallery talk, moderated by Thomas Geuder, which brought together prominent guests such as Boris Palmer, Lord Mayor of Tübingen, Christian Gaus from Gaus Architekten, Reiner Nagel, Chairman of the Federal Foundation for Building Culture, Max Kaldenhoff and Stefanie Weidner from Werner Sobek. The discussion highlighted topics such as sustainability in the construction industry, social challenges and the importance of design and aesthetics in architecture.

Special attention was paid to the thoughts of Stefanie Weidner, architect and engineer at Werner Sobek, who emphasized the immense relevance of infrastructures for our daily lives in the subsequent interview. "Infrastructures shape our living spaces - they not only shape cities, but also rural areas in a sustainable and aesthetic way," she explained. She emphasized that the combination of high design quality and functionality is essential in order to make infrastructures usable and appealing in the long term. Interdisciplinary collaboration is the key to innovative and sustainable solutions.

The event successfully combined an inspiring exhibition with an expert dialog and underlined the importance of building culture as a driving force for sustainable, aesthetically valuable developments.
