Description:

The aim of the course is to study issues related to either sustainable renovation or transformation of existing built environments and the building stock. Different models for extending the life cycles of buildings are investigated, according to an annually changing theme, ranging from regular maintenance, periodical renovation and refurbishment to large-scale transformation, adaptive reuse and even demolition or deconstruction and reuse of components. Students will learn essential design skills related to demanding renovation, refurbishment and transformation of degenerated buildings. Students will develop a theoretical understanding about the societal contexts of these interventions and their ecological implications.
