The Bundesstiftung Bauakademie is a non-profit foundation established in 2019 to initiate the transformation in the construction industry and urban development towards sustainable value creation. It has its roots in the historical Bauakademie, which was founded in 1799 in Berlin as a state educational institution for architects and civil engineers and was known for the iconic building by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, which was demolished in 1962.
The main mission of the Bundesstiftung Bauakademie is to organize the construction of a forward-looking building and to develop a comprehensive education and mediation program. It serves as a forum for innovative construction and sustainable urban development by promoting dialogue between the construction industry, science, politics, and the public. The foundation is committed to interdisciplinary research and the communication of future-oriented topics that will shape construction in the 21st century.
The Bundesstiftung Bauakademie is currently working on the construction of a new building at Schinkelplatz in Berlin, which is intended to serve as a central platform for dialogue and mediation. Before the building opens, a virtual platform has already been established to facilitate exchange among stakeholders and to present the foundation's projects to the public.
Thus, the Bundesstiftung Bauakademie is a central player in the field of sustainable and innovative construction and urban development, paving the way for a future-oriented building culture through interdisciplinary research, education, and dialogue.
