Lecture & Discussion: Re­thinking and Trans­forming Existing Struc­tures. Re­newed Demands for the Pro­motion of Public Welfare

Thu 04.12., 18h, Podium

The 11th Forum on Architectural Science is dedicated to the highly topical issue of transforming existing structures, and opens with a keynote speech and panel discussion at the Az W.

Which new demands need to be formulated in the context of transformation in order to negotiate aspects of social, ecological and aesthetic public welfare? What new advocacy is needed for this? Where should this process begin in concrete terms? Historical, current and future alternative spaces, scenarios and processes are (re)examined and discussed critically during the symposium.
