Architects for Future and bdla call for open space design plan
The Architects for Future A4F movement is calling for an amendment to the building code with the aim of drastically reducingCO2 emissions from the construction sector in an open letter to the Conference of Building Ministers. Their proposals, which have been compiled in a so-called model (re)building code, range from advantages for building in existing buildings to the abolition of the parking space requirement for cars and the permission to install used materials.

bdla presents sample tender documents
A large proportion of public contracts for planning services are below the EU threshold. Both sides, the contracting authorities and the planning offices, are dependent on the correct execution of the contract awards.

Student internships at bdla.de. Information for students and landscape architecture offices
The shortage of skilled workers is also becoming more acute in landscape architecture. That is why the topic of recruiting new talent has a central place in the current association work of the bdla. Among other things, it is necessary to start with school students and to advertise for a student internship in a planning office. It is a low-threshold offer and the first contact can be the impulse for the occupation with landscape architecture, one of the most exciting planning disciplines with diverse development possibilities.

Online seminar on 10 June 2021 provides information on an important consultancy service and a current model contract
Environmental construction supervision (UBB) has developed into an important instrument in construction projects. In the meantime, it has become an independent advisory service in the construction process and is primarily awarded to experts who are particularly qualified for this purpose. As a still young specialist task, UBB has a relatively low degree of standardisation. The practice is diverse, which is also due to the variety of construction projects, the diverse bases in environmental and nature conservation law as well as the relevant objects of protection in each case.

Berlin Appeal of the Association of German Landscape Architects.
Tackling the task of climate change for generations
Cities and open spaces, and with them the quality of life for people, must be rethought. The extreme weather events that are already occurring and will become even more frequent in the future - long periods of heat or heavy rain - pose great challenges for our cities, rural areas and their inhabitants. In order to master these, according to the resolute opinion of the landscape architects represented by the bdla, the climate resilience of the cities in particular must be strengthened and the green infrastructure must be expanded as a central component of municipal services of general interest!

Fritz Erhard, landscape architect bdla in Lenggries, passed away on 6 March 2021.
Every time he called, he answered in the same way: "Hello, it's me, Fritz". That's how he was.
Neatly Bavarian, in his dialect relaxed, but determined. If it got complicated, then closer to High German. But: always in a good mood, witty and good-hearted.
