Lecture description
Adaptive reuse involves risks, but also opportunities. Community-led initiatives repeatedly demonstrate how these conditions can be leveraged to realise exceptional projects. What can research tell us about their potential? The talk presents interim findings from the research project “Making Collective Use of Existing Buildings – Perspectives for Families” (BegeFa) and discusses them in the context of current urban development challenges. The transformation of existing buildings by community-oriented groups can generate benefits beyond individual projects, helping to make neighbourhoods and property developments more resilient in the long term.
