Film Screening of The Demolition Drama,
an activist documentary by station.plus, discussing how functioning buildings are demolished for new construction, a practice that prioritizes profit over people and overlooks renovation and transformation as socially, sustainably, and economically beneficial alternatives.
Followed by a panel discussion with
Kathrin Aste (LAAC, professor at studio3 institute for experimental architecture, university of Innsbruck),
Stefan Behnisch (Behinsch Architekten), and
Arno Brandlhuber (brandlhuber+, Eth Zurich),
moderated by Giacomo Ardesi (Fosbury Architects).
HouseEurope! advocates for EU-laws to make renovation more affordable, easy and social.
Because the demolition of existing buildings is as outdated as food waste, animal testing and single-use plastics.
