High-Rises & Vertical Construction Summit, Frankfurt, Germany
3 – 4 May 2023
High-rise projects are seen on horizons across the Europe and show no signs of slowing down. According to the Global Tall Buildings Database of the CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) now were erected 1,647 buildings taller than 200 m. The high-rise building construction is characterised by high demand for construction technology and complex engineering works. Heightening population density and expanding urbanisation has increased the need for constructing high-rise buildings due to land shortage. More than three-quarters of the EU population live in urban areas and this figure is expected to rise to almost 85% by 2050.
With Europe is facing a generational energy crisis that could last for years, many efforts have been done to design high-rises in an energy efficient and reduce the energy demand or carbon emission of high-rise buildings.
The high-rise buildings implemented today are astonishing in terms of the multitude of their architectural and constructional solutions, as well as their technology. Conducting a comprehensive analysis of technological innovations used in these buildings, due to the size of the issue, requires a special approach. Building materials and techniques continue to improve with advances in engineering and evolving design sensibilities. The industry needs to innovate and explore competitive new ideas, while stricter regulations contribute to a reduced margin for error and waste. Modular construction is gaining popularity across the industry as companies realise the efficiency and cost-saving benefits, the high-rise sector is also becoming an advocate.
High-Rises & Vertical Construction Summit aimed at equipping professionals with insights and perspectives on strategies to navigate high rise constructions in the next normal. Learn and uncover case studies from reputable leading experts, architects and engineers, experience the latest technology to improve data quality insight and take advantage of the excellent networking opportunities throughout the summit.
WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
• Exploring the most prevalent sustainable features abundant for high-rises
• Understanding how the new normal will shape future vertical cities
• Adopting new practices and trends in vertical structures
• Implementing innovations into skyscrapers in various urban contexts
• Integrating technologies into skyscrapers of the future

China Dialogues Book
Together with the Power Station of Art in Shanghai, China we posted details of the presentation of a book by Vladimir Belogolovsky, that took place on 4 Sep 2022.
This online event was recorded and available for viewing at a later time.
The announcement link can be viewed here (in Chinese with an English translation feature): https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/VdRsNels3hcwQM8eenlQBA
Blurb excerpts about the book by Vladimir Belogolovsky:
Li Xiangning: “With a refreshing query, engaging themes, and deep insights, Vladimir Belogolovsky’s dialogues with China’s cutting-edge architects investigate and illustrate a vivid scene of contemporary Chinese architecture.”
Kenneth Frampton: “…Each conversation is an extraordinary testimony to the energy of an undeniable renaissance, in which these talented and highly cultivated architects are engaged in the common project of creating a civic culture for a new society…”
Steven Holl: “…China Dialogues tirelessly presents the Chinese architects who have embodied new freedom and promise…”
Jean-Louis Cohen: “…Belogolovsky lifts the veil on a prolific new generation of designers, who have in common a highly intellectualized and conceptual understanding of architecture…”
Juhani Pallasmaa: “…Belogolovsky shares his deep personal knowledge of current Chinese architecture and the leading individual designers, as well as their thinking and intentions…”
Aaron Betsky: “…This book assembles some of the very best practices not just in Asia, but in the world, displaying their work with photographs of great depth while letting the designers tell us about their sources, dreams, and aspirations…”
Luis Fernández-Galiano: “In China Dialogues Vladimir Belogolovsky charts a panorama of Chinese architecture through the words of its main players. He draws his ‘landscape with figures’ with excellent prose, deep understanding, and outspoken wit…”
Cui Kai: “Belogolovsky’s book gathers an inquisitive collection of thoughts from outstanding Chinese architects; it is a critical documentation of the author’s in-depth conversations about the past, the future, and the current moment of our architecture.”

Architecture as a New Geography
Bank of Georgia (Formerly Ministry of Highways): Pushing the Boundaries
A Discussion with Odile Decq and Jean-Louis Cohen
postponed
Online architectural discussion:
Architecture as a New Geography
with Odile Decq and Jean-Louis Cohen.
Vladimir Belogolovsky will moderate the discussion together with Niko Lekveishvili, the founder of Tbilisi-based TIMM Architects. We will discuss a remarkable building, the Bank of Georgia HQ (formerly the Ministry of Highways).
Built in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1975, the building is one of the most iconic modernist structures in the former USSR. We will use it as a springboard to address the roles of megastructures, politics in architecture, conflicts between clients, architects, and the public, current trends, site/landscape, daring buildings versus nostalgia, and place of the public realm in contemporary architecture. Listeners will have a chance to ask questions. There will be live audiences in Tbilisi and Paris, and individual listeners around the world.
