Special Lunch Break Event!: Join us for an exclusive tour with Behnisch Architekten, the German architectural firm behind the innovative, sustainable and award-winning Science and Engineering Complex (SEC), Harvard’s most significant new building constructed in a generation. Called a “climate resilient marvel” (Living Architecture Monitor), “a hallmark of sustainability, but also proves that modern architecture can be beautiful”(Harvard Crimson), the building stands out in Allston and literally shines through an exterior steel lattice which is precisely designed to mitigate solar heat in the summer and allowing sunlight to penetrate during the winter.
The tour will be led by Matt Noblett, partner of the Boston office of Behnisch Architects and one of the two lead architects of this remarkable project, explaining key elements of its innovative and award-winning design and sustainable building technologies.

Krise ade? In Deutschland wird wieder mehr gegründet | Auszug: "Von Januar bis März entstanden 658 Jungfirmen. (...)Im Vergleich zum Vorquartal entspricht das einem Plus von 17 Prozent. Mit Blick auf das Vorjahresquartal liegt der Anstieg bei nahezu fünf Prozent (...) Die Zahl der Gründungen gilt als Stimmungsbarometer in einer Branche, die zuletzt merklich unter der Zinswende, den großen konjunkturellen wie auch geopolitischen Herausforderungen und der Finanzierungskrise gelitten hat. Vor allem Letztere ist längst noch nicht überstanden." | | | | | |
