„Today's building decisions have an impact over the entire building life cycle - well beyond 2050. With our work in teaching and research, we are helping to ensure that the expected global warming with its extreme weather events and the future availability of resources for operation and maintenance are taken into account when dealing with cultural assets, buildings and infrastructures.“
