ESEIA Lecture Series: 18th Lecture

Adaptive Reuse of Buildings and Urban Spaces

Adaptive reuse has become one of the most effective strategies for addressing climate targets, social transformation, and the preservation of cultural identity within European cities. This lecture explores how the transformation of existing buildings and underused urban spaces can generate new ecological, social, and architectural value while reducing demolition waste and embodied carbon. Framed through the values of the New European Bauhaus, sustainability, inclusiveness, and beauty, this lecture will reflect on the opportunities and limitations of adaptive reuse, highlighting both strategic frameworks and hands-on examples.
