Rethink Architecture: Residential Buildings - Lecture at CAMP

Why repair apartment buildings and family houses instead of letting them deteriorate, demolishing them, and building new ones in their place? What unconventional conversions of residential buildings exist? And how can we reconstruct them sustainably to help their residents save on housing costs while also increasing living comfort? Sustainable innovations like heat pumps, solar panels, or gray water recycling further save money in building operation. Emphasizing sustainable renovations of residential buildings will also help cities build their resilience. Get inspired by practical examples of how you can jointly carry out your reconstruction more sustainably.

The first lecture in the Rethink Architecture series on sustainable building reconstructions will present residential houses. 

Each speaker will introduce fundamental concepts they use in their practice in 15 minutes. This will be followed by a panel discussion where questions from the audience in the hall, as well as those watching the online broadcast, are welcome. Among the speakers will be specialists from various fields: architects, landscape architects, city councilors, and others.
