Vienna, 28th June 2016 – The Energy and Environmental Technology Department of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology invited interested parties to the “Building of the Future” Symposium 2016. Speakers used the discussion to offer a glimpse into the future of sustainable building.
Professor Christoph M. Achammer, CEO of ATP architects engineers, opened the podium discussion with a keynote lecture.
