The focus is particularly on university campuses located in tropical and subtropical regions. Not only questions of architectural-historical evaluation, but also the special challenges of building technology and building climate will be considered. The interactions between construction, material and climate on the one hand, and preservation and resilience in accordance with the guidelines for historical monuments on the other, are questions which, in view of climate change, also appear to be urgent for Central and Northern European regions. They represent the third level of the symposium in the English language.
