The LEHM 2020, the 8th international conference on building with earth, will take place from the 30 October – 1 November 2020 in Weimar, the cradle of German Classicism, birthplace of the Bauhaus and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Dachverband Lehm e.V. (DVL) is the German Association for Building with Earth. Every four years the DVL organises an international conference on building with earth in a different earth building region in Germany. After the conferences in 1994, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, the LEHM 2020 is the eighth such event organised by the DVL. Each of these events has attracted several hundred participants from around the world.
The DVL is pleased to announce that the LEHM 2020, the 8th international conference on building with earth, will take place from the 30 October – 1 November 2020 in Weimar, the cradle of German Classicism, birthplace of the Bauhaus and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
From 5 - 7 November 2020, shortly after the LEHM 2020, is the denkmal 2020 European Trade Fair for Conservation, Renovation and Restoration in Leipzig, which includes a specialist section on earth building. The LEHM 2020 has been timed so that conference visitors can combine their trip with a visit to the trade fair where they can see the most recent developments in the field of earth building first-hand.
The LEHM 2020 includes the Earth Building Conference with presentations and an accompanying poster session and excursions.
As part of the LEHM 2020, an DVL Earth Building Prize 2020 will be awarded that recognises outstanding academic theses from authors in the field of earth building (to be announced separately by the Dachverband Lehm e. V.).
