Guided Tour of the Äerdschëff
Why it matters
Come and discover the Äerdschëff — a unique building in Luxembourg designed as a model of sustainable, resilient and self-sufficient architecture.
This 1.5-hour immersive visit takes you inside an architectural ecosystem where every element — from materials to energy, water and waste management — is guided by principles of sustainability.
The tour begins outdoors, where you’ll explore:
-
Ecological water management
-
Food production through permaculture
-
Passive design strategies that optimise energy efficiency
Inside, you’ll discover real-life examples of energy autonomy systems (solar panels, natural ventilation…) and innovative waste management solutions that reduce environmental impact.
Tour learning goals
By the end of the visit, you will be able to:
-
Understand how architecture can meet today’s ecological challenges
-
Identify sustainable, replicable solutions to apply in your own projects
-
Find inspiration to take action through better resource management
A Q&A session is included at the end of the tour to allow deeper discussion, technical insights, or ideas for adapting these principles to your own context.
