We had the opportunity to visit a current construction site and learn a lot about the way it is done. We also had a small insight into the materials that were being used. Unfortunately, we could not visit the construction site in person, as this did not correspond with our partner's schedule. Since many things are happening online due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, the cooperation was not a problem. We were able to use this to our advantage.

Today we would like to achieve the following:
- prepare interview questions
- evt survey
- building site visit online
- type of media (audio, video, etc.)
We hope to work on the following points by the end of the lessons.

To answer our questions we will conduct various interviews in different Swiss industries. Because until a house is completely built, many people are involved. As soon as we have our answers we will compare them with those of Spain as well as go into more detail.
We hope that we will get the opportunity to visit an enterprise or a current construction site. It would also be exciting to compare two construction sites, one from Switzerland and one from Spain, based on the materials and the progress.
However, we must be careful not to lose sight of our guiding questions. We need to go into more detail and not research too broadly. To make our project a little more exciting we will use different media.

Project: ecological building
Reason for choosing the project:
We have already completed our 3-year apprenticeship in a construction company. Through this, we were confronted with the topic of building on a daily basis. Our family members are also involved in the construction industry. Their fields of work are in different sectors. So we decided to build on the different levels of knowledge.
What do we want to achieve with this project?
We want to draw attention to ecological building and bring the way closer to the people.
We compare Switzerland with Spain with the help of our collaborations partners. We attach great importance to the statements of our partners and will also base our work on them. We also include a survey.

Meeting from the 11th January 2022 afternoon.
Channel: Microsoft Teams
We presented our project idea even further in detail, as we had not done this in such detail before. Since we have also once again reoriented in the topic itself. Together we discussed the next steps and goals. Unfortunately, we could not yet agree on a fixed date for the next meeting, as this is very spontaneous. However, we have been guaranteed that this is certainly possible once a week but somewhat flexible depending on work. Both sides are very excited about how the collaboration will turn out and we are looking forward to the next steps.

I think that our project is a bit too small to get such a big reach. However, I think our train of thought is in the right direction. However, if we put the project on an international basis, we could take various things from the different countries. Because depending on the climate or other conditions, different building materials are needed as well as the number.
However, I ask myself the question of whether this can be achieved at all. Because the people like for example we Swiss are already accustomed to such a high standard of living.
However, I think that you roll up the whole issue in any case on an international basis. Because once the interest of the people has been awakened can be started with the whole.
I very much hope that in the future a little more attention is paid to the Bauwese, because as long as there are people will also be built new buildings. Even industries can cut off a thick slice here.
I am curious what the future brings us ...
How to build a collaboration team:
We already know several people who work in different sectors of the construction industry. After we have worked out a concept and the basic framework is in place, we will contact them. In advance we will send them a small overview of our project so that they already cab get to grips with it.
As our partners come from Switzerland, we have no problems with the time difference. There should also be no misunderstandings about language barriers. It is best to arrange appointments during the working week, as we sometimes have afternoons off, it should not be a problem to arrange this. If it comes up and the knowledge about other cultures is available, we could also include this.
Collaboration partners:
Isabella Zollinger (Architektin)
Sarah Sanchez (Bauleiterin)
Marco Eggs (Geschäftsführer Jansen Architektur)
Christian Eggenberger (Geschäftsführer Bauunternehmung)
Stefan Zollinger (Gemeinderat Tiefbau)
Ralf Stadelmann (Geschäftsführer Sinfla)
