BRINGING RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY TOGETHER<\/p>\n
Patricia Heidtman, Chief Innovation and Sustainability Officer at Sika, comments: “As an innovation leader in the construction industry, we want to help drive the transformation towards sustainable construction methods. Living Lab HIL is a unique platform that actively combines research and practice while noticeably speeding up innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthias Kohler, Professor of Architecture and Digital Fabrication in the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich, states: “Industry and science have to act together in order to meet the climate targets. In cooperation with Sika, we are trying out new solutions at Living Lab HIL that will then be implemented in the refurbishment phase of the ETH building starting in 2030. Thanks to leading industry partners, we can incorporate innovations from research directly into practice and show how sustainable, circular construction is shaping the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
