How can cities and buildings be planned more equitably? On February 9, two lectures will shed light on gender equality in planning and construction from different perspectives: Nicole Parlow will present “QUEENS OF STRUCTURE,” highlighting outstanding female civil engineers and bringing their often invisible achievements in civil engineering to light. Sandra Huning will then combine feminist urban planning with social and ecological transformation. The ideas from both lectures can be explored in more depth in a relaxed discussion afterwards.

About the exhibition:

“Rethinking Bridges: Living Space, Urban Space, Open Space” (January 23 to February 26) examines the topic of bridges not only from an infrastructural perspective, but also highlights urban planning and social aspects. The exhibition, conceived by the Institute for Solid Construction at TU Dresden under the direction of Prof. Steffen Marx, uses national and international examples to show how bridges can be positively integrated into the cityscape, nature, and thus also into the living environment of their users. The historical change in bridge visions and student designs for the reconstruction of Dresden's Carola Bridge will also be presented.
