Ten strategies for "creative omission"
The recently opened exhibition “Care for the existing building stock” runs until Sunday, February 27, 2022 in Münster. The BDA sees the exhibition as a plea for architectural heritage – in line with our current series of issues & especially B12 “sustainable conversion” & B1 “sustainable repair”.
It should be noted that “caring for existing buildings” is not about the worry lines that may appear on some existing buildings, but rather about the question of how we can take care of our current and future built heritage. Repairing and developing where possible instead of demolishing and rebuilding, for example. The BDA’s exhibition also addresses issues relating to the sustainability of future buildings, such as the circular use of materials.
The exhibition presents a total of ten strategies developed by various experts. It was originally opened at the DAZ in Berlin in 2020 and has since been touring to various locations. The last stop was the matriculation hall at TU Munich, for example. The topics range from densification, easy-to-implement conversion measures and sustainable construction to digitalization in an urban context. In addition, an evening supporting program will complement the exhibition in Münster with three selected discussion topics:
The supporting events will each begin at 19:00 and take place in the exhibition rooms. As for the visit to the exhibition itself, prior registration by e-mail is required and the 2G rule applies. The exhibition will be held in the premises of Volksbank Münsterland Nord eG in Münster. The exhibition is open until February 27, 2022, Wednesdays to Fridays from 5 to 8 pm, at weekends from 11 am to 6 pm. Admission is free. One of the next stops will be the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg from December 2, 2022 to March 3, 2023. Further stops are being planned.
