Call for Contributions: “Enhancing Umbau” at RWTH Aachen University
The colloquium focuses on Umbau — the adaptation, transformation, and continued use of existing buildings, neighbourhoods, and urban environments — as an essential strategy for creating resource-efficient, climate-neutral, socially just, and aesthetically rich built environments. Bringing together perspectives from architecture, urban planning, heritage conservation, design computation, artistic research, social geography, and related disciplines, the event aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on working with existing structures.
