ALLPLAN BLOG - The blog for everyone in the construction industry
Hello and welcome to the ALLPLAN Blog! The blog for everyone in the construction industry. Can we be honest? Does the world really need another blog? We asked ourselves this question before we launched the ALLPLAN BLOG in 2016. After intensive self-reflection, we came to a clear conclusion: No. However, what we felt was still missing was a format that represented the AEC industry in all its diversity - from architecture and urban planning to civil engineering and infrastructure, materials science, new technologies, production methods and construction methods.
We are as passionate about aesthetic form as we are about sustainable substance - and above all about the successful combination of both aspects. We are particularly interested in innovative ideas, concepts, processes and projects that improve construction. In doing so, we take a look at practice, but also at research and teaching. Our contributions are aimed at professionals such as architects, urban planners and engineers, as well as building owners, developers and general planners, whose needs and requirements represent the beginning of better building. Of course, anyone who finds their way to our site out of curiosity or by chance is also very welcome. Because the construction/AEC industry is too fascinating and beautiful not to share it with everyone.
