Astrid Ley contributes to virtual conference on the global relevance of sand

 

„Auf Sand gebaut?“/ „Built on Sand?“

Virtual Expert Talk,
Haus der Baustoffindustrie, Ostfildern

Astrid Ley contributes to an expert talk seeking to explore the imminent need of careful monitoring sand exploitation on a global scale.

Sand is one of the most important raw materials for the construction industry. For a long time it was thought to be infinitely available, but now an awareness of the world running out of sand has arisen.

This interdisciplinary workshop includes keynote speeches and expert talks. Professor Ley will join the second expert talk together with Klaus Grübnau, professor Dirk Hebel and Martin Rauch, and will focuse on approaches to building practice and innovation drawn from the Global South.
