Form Follows Transformation<\/em><\/strong>: Moments that redefine Europe\u2019s existing buildings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday 29 June, 14.00 \u2013 15.30 CET <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHUB Auditorium, 4th floor<\/strong>, Barcelona<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe\u2019s built environment is at a crossroads: the intersecting crises of housing and climate change demand a paradigm shift. With 85\u201395% of today\u2019s buildings still standing in 2050, the urgency to renovate, adapt, and reuse the existing has never been clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seminar aims to explore how architecture can lead this transformation, not as a technical upgrade, but as a holistic, human-centric, and creative act. Through a curated selection of projects from the Form Follows Transformation<\/em> exhibition, presented by the Architects\u2019 Council of Europe during the Congress, we will showcase how smart renovation and transformation can drive sustainability, resilience, and social cohesion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The projects featured in this exhibition prove that smart renovation and transformation can be a catalyst for sustainability, resilience, and social cohesion. From circular economy principles to climate-adaptive design, these projects redefine architecture\u2019s role: not just as creators of new forms, but as curators of existing resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by the Davos Baukultur<\/em> criteria\u2014and framed by the New European Bauhaus and the revised EPBD\u2014we will discuss how policy, culture, and design can converge to scale solutions that are sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetically compelling. We will in particular discuss the regulatory barriers and enablers to the adaptive re-use and transformation of the built environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us to explore how renovation can be a strategic opportunity\u2014for our buildings, our communities, and our planet. <\/strong>Agenda will be released in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration are open on eventbrite:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
