Concern About the Existing Structures

Ten Strategies for Architecture
Address
Bahnquartier Erfurt, 99084 Erfurt

In ten strategies, architects and urbanists present their concern for the existing: caring for the existing structure, for established social structures and for the continued existence of the earth. They invite you to read the permanence of what has been built and grown and advocate for further thinking and careful repair of living spaces and living cultures. They show how new perspectives in the urban and regional context arise through networked approaches, through cooperation oriented towards the common good and through participation concepts. For the future existing building stock, i.e. the buildings constructed today, strategies for the circular use of materials and an openness to future requirements are being developed.

The exhibition by the Association of German Architects BDA was curated by Olaf Bahner, Matthias Böttger and Laura Holzberg. Exhibition design: Marius Busch - ON/OFF and Christian Göthner - lfm2.

"Caring for the existing building stock. “Ten Strategies for Architecture” is a project in the research program “Experimental Housing and Urban Development” of the BMWSB/BBSR and is financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building.
