Research Association for Building and Living
The Research Association for Building and Living was a building research institution in Germany based in Stuttgart , which existed from 1947 to 1986 .
Foundation and history
The research community for building and living was founded on May 13, 1947 by the state of Württemberg-Baden as a foundation under public law . The Ministry of the Interior became the supervisory authority. The original task of the statutes was, among other things: "The investigation of all problems to remedy the lack of space and to convert the building industry to modern manufacturing processes". The research results of the foundation were directly adopted by the construction industry . Since the beginning of the 1970s, the research association expanded its field of activity to include urban development , spatial planning and state and regional planning .
The research community was one of the three institutes that were recognized in 1949 by the Conference of Building Ministers of the German States as building research institutions of the Federal Republic of Germany. These were, in addition to the research community, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für contemporary Bauen e. V. in Kiel and the Institute for Building Research in Hanover . All three institutes were appointed in 1950 by the Federal Minister for Housing as representatives of the special building research institutions in the permanent “Advisory Board for Building Research at the Federal Minister for Housing”.
In the mid-1980s it was found that the research association no longer met the current needs of the building industry in terms of its legal form, task definition and working method. An overall declining need for research and the difficult budget situation in the state of Baden-Württemberg ultimately led to the foundation being dissolved on February 28, 1986 .
