Tomorrow is Already Built
Symposium
In February 2025, the European Citizens’ Initiative HouseEurope! begins their voting period to propose legislation prioritizing renovation and adaptive reuse. To make the case against demolition and vacancy, ARCH+ is joining forces with HouseEurope! and CIVA to stage a “witness hearing” in the form of a conference as part of Tomorrow is Already Built. The event takes place at CIVA on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. Practitioners and theorists from all over Europe will exchange insights into successful approaches, but also economic, legislative, and architectural hurdles to aspatial practice of repair and care.
Speakers include Laurens Bekemans (BC architects & studies & materials / RWTH Aachen), Oana Bogdan (&bogdan / HouseEurope!), Iva Čukić (Ministarstvo prostora), An Fonteyne (noAarchitecten / ETH Zurich), Gabu Heindl (GABU Heindl Architektur / Uni Kassel), Petra Hlaváčková (4AM Forum for Architecture and Media / Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien), Josiane Schmidt (ETH Zurich, HouseEurope!).
