Under the title ‘Inventory for High-Quality Subsequent Use’, Claudiu Silvestru will address the question of how sustainable refurbishment can be achieved using traditional materials and methods.
The event in Mauerbach near Vienna is organised by the Federal Monuments Office in cooperation with ICOMOS Austria. It promotes professional discourse in order to raise awareness of the importance of historic buildings for achieving climate targets in the construction industry.
The programme offers a mix of different topics, including:
- Cultural perspectives on the historic use of spolia, reparability, deconstruction, resource-based construction methods and cradle-to-cradle (C2C) approaches.
- Legal perspectives on waste and reuse of building components.
- Implementation-oriented perspectives on property development, surveying for future use and awareness of the availability of reusable building elements.
Historic buildings remind us of the importance of reuse and circular strategies. But how can these timeless principles meet modern challenges such as climate change and the scarcity of resources? This event addresses these pressing questions and offers practical insights into reuse, deconstruction and life cycle-orientated building concepts.
