Wetlands and Construction: An opportunity for Berlin-Brandenburg is a report that was developed as part of the Bauhaus Earth Fellowship Programme, following an analysis of the Brandenburg region’s paludiculture and biobased material supply chains and productions cycles. The research project aims to contribute to the development of a new architectural vernacular: one whose aesthetics are rooted in circular and bio-based principles. The research seeks to demonstrate the potency of cross-industry and interdisciplinary collaborations, and the critical urgency of addressing the conditions and health of our landscapes. This project responds to excerpt 8 of the state of Brandenburg’s ten point programme which states that “broad communication and public relations are required to accompany any peatland protection activities”.
