Past Webinars
Webinar "How cool is underground space?" 25.9.2020
In this first webinar, we will explore how Hagerbach Test Gallery has developed into what it is. We will unveil Mission Earth First as a new and exciting collaboration. Students from ETH Zürich who took part in the ‘Hagerbach Challenge’ will present their winning concepts for inspiration, innovation and demonstration of undergroundspaces. We will engage with the webinar participants and start with a creative dialogue that will continue into next year when Mission Earth First will be launched.
Webinar "Moving beyond the obvious" 11.11.2020
We will explore how we can move beyond the obvious. Mission Earth First is seeking to do just that. Moving beyond the obvious requires more than just "out-of-the-box" thinking. It requires systemic change. This is what we will be exploring with our partner THE HUS.institute. Another way in which we will try to move beyond the obvious is by exploring the concept of "underground liveability". We will also hear from architectural students of the University of Liechtenstein who have been actively looking into developing concepts for a "Mars Hotel". In short, expect to be challenged by this webinar as we invite you to participate actively and move with us beyond the obvious.
Webinar "Demonstrating Underground Spaces" 6.3.2021
In this webinar, we focus on the real estate at Hagerbach. We want people to really experience what is available and how exciting the development and use of underground spaces is. Hagerbach will be presented as an active environment, interesting venue, and the home of Mission Earth First and its partners. The audience will be invited to participate via polling and Q&A.
Webinar "Planning for Sustainable Underground Spaces" 21.4.2021
In this webinar, we will be exploring how ITACUS is working on an urban underground future. The ITACUS co-chairs Han Admiraal (Enprodes Management Consultancy) and Antonia Cornaro (Amberg Engineering) will be co-hosting this webinar and will be joined by ITACUS Steering Board members.
