culture of architectural restoration
Umbaukultur - the culture of architectural restoration - online conversation (in English) Monday, 10/26 at 20:00 * Register to receive a link to the meeting.
The growing awareness of the environmental consequences of the construction industry makes practices such as reuse and repurposing ever more relevant. Sharon Golan-Yiron, the content manager of Beit Liebling, talks with the architect Tim Rinits about the art of architectural restoration, and about our built environment - which he suggests looking at not only as a store of memories, but also as a resource available for reuse and sustainable urban development and with surprising architectural potential . Rinitz, a professor of urban and regional development in Hannover, Germany, has devoted his career to researching and disseminating contemporary issues in architecture and urban planning. Recently his book Umbaukultur - The Architecture of Altering appeared.
