SUMMARY:Large-Scale Transformation\, a New Sustainability Challenge. Kleiburg in Amsterdam\, Grand Parc in Bordeaux.
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition puts into dialogue two of the most relevant examples of the transformation of housing blocks built in the 60s and 70s in Europe\, winners of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.      \nBased on these examples\, presented through photographs\, texts\, models and videos\, other projects with similar characteristics that were demolished are related by means of a timeline. Other examples of collective housing built more recently are presented with models and two texts\, one by Francis Rambeft and the other by Josep Maria Montaner and Zaida Muxí\, serve to introduce the theme and follow the narrative thread of the exhibition.   \nAs Josep Maria Montaner and Zaida Muxí write\, “In general\, emblematic examples of large-scale collective housing complexes are studied at the time they were designed\, built and inaugurated\, but very little has been studied and written about how each of these buildings evolved and adapted\, to find out what their legacy really was. Houses are for living\, and their maintenance and adaptability is essential. Therefore\, the key to progress lies in how and what we can learn from experience.    \nModern collective housing is living heritage\, so it is important to know its transformations and appropriations; to understand what have been the qualities of construction and remodelling facilities”. Based on this reflection\, the exhibition allows us to debate about these housing blocks that are found in most European cities\, how to deal with them in order to improve the living conditions of their inhabitants\, and at the same time to do so by looking at examples of new collective housing blocks built in recent years.   \nThe exhibition shows two exemplary projects for their transformation with the aim of improving the quality of life of their inhabitants\, taking each of them into account.  It also provides a framework in which to address specific proposals on access to housing\, based on concrete examples that can be copied\, adapting them to the specific contexts of each place.   \nThree years ago\, the renovation of one of the largest apartment buildings in the Netherlands\, called Kleiburg\, received the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2017. The Prize had never been won by a collective housing project until then. Just a year ago\, a different group of jury members decided to award the 2019 Prize to the transformation of three social housing blocks in Bordeaux.   \nIn both cases\, the existing buildings belonged to the massive construction wave that occurred in the 1960s in European cities. They are two successful survivors who escaped the wrecking ball. In the exhibition\, these two protagonists illustrate how strategic and sensible transformations are the alternative to demolition. \nProjects included in the exhibition:  \n\nDeFiat Kleiburg\, Amsterdam\, XVW architectuur; NL Architects  \nTransformation of 530 dwellings – Grand Pare Bordeaux\, Bordeaux\, Lacaton & Vassal architectes; Frédéric Druot Architecture; Christophe Hutin Architeeture  \nHousing on Giudecca\, Giudecca\, Valle Architetti Associati  \nFriedrichstadt Housing Block\, Berlin\, Aldo Rossi  \nRue de Meaux Housing Complex\, Paris\, Renzo Piano Building Workshop  \nResidential Housing KNSM-Eiland\, Amsterdam\, Prof. Kollhoff Generalplanungs-GmbH Shipboy Housing\, Helsinki\, Helin & Co Architects  \nBorneo Sporenburg\, Amsterdam\, West 8 urban design & landscape architecture b.v.

SUMMARY:The Vienna Model - Housing for the City of the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Based on urban and social aspects\, not only have projects of exceptional quality been realised throughout the city\, but also entire neighbourhoods have been revitalised or new ones created. These concepts\, whose historical roots go back to “Red Vienna”\, represent dynamic opportunities to improve the quality of life in the contemporary metropolis by creating exemplary living environments.  \nThe Vienna Model: Housing for the City of the 21st Century takes a look at sixty landmark projects from the last 100 years. It also pays special attention to the art in public space that has accompanied municipally owned housing since the First Republic. \n  \n\nExhibition curated by Wolfgang Förster and William Menking \nExhibition design by MVD Austria \nOrganised in Madrid by Lorenzo Kárász\, director of Guiding Architects Barcelona \nWith the support of the City of Vienna\, the Austrian Cultural Forum Madrid\, the Official Architects’ Association of Madrid (COAM) within the AHA (Affordable Housing Activation) UIA International Forum 2022

SUMMARY:What is holistic renovation of modernism housing?
DESCRIPTION:The prefabricated housing\, built some 50-70 years ago\, is already worn out. It does not meet the today’s requirements for energy efficiency and is not attractive to the inhabitants anymore: this type of housing fails to correspond to the current needs and way of life of people\, and often is perceived as dull\, grey and visually unappealing.   \n“Today\, there are several different governmental renovation programs implemented by different European countries\, concerned mostly with thermal insulation and energy efficiency. “With the series of events and activities\, we are trying to rise a movement\, to create a model / methodology and (in future stages) to implement a pilot project of something more: improvement of each flat\, common indoor and outdoor spaces\, and at the same time keeping the visual quality and architectural unity of the whole quarter. Of course\, the renovation process should include the inhabitants. Additionally\, we’d search for chances for new financial and legal tools that would allow participation of different stakeholders\, both private and public\, in renovation. And last but not least\, the renovation should not exclude the most vulnerable social groups that usually dwell in such a housing from decision making processes or displace them afterwards; it should create an attractive living environment for everyone” summarizes the curator of the initiative\, President of the Architects Association of Lithuania Rūta Leitanaitė.  \nThe idea for Holistic renovation for modernism housing project came as a Baltic response to the European Commission’s New European Bauhaus (NEB) program call. “We strongly believe that this topic is relevant to all the countries that have a vast legacy of the post-war period – huge districts (micro-rayons) of modernism\, prefabricated housing stock. Post-soviet countries have to deal with the same problems and challenges\, and other European countries are also considering the future of modernist housing” says Rūta Leitanaitė.  \nThe event “Holistic renovation for modernism housing” is a joint event of the International Union of Architects (Region 1 and Region 2). The event is initiated by the Architects Association of Lithuania and Baltic Architects Unions Association (BAUA). The partners of the event are Madrid Forum 2022 and Architects Council of Europe (ACE). The event is a side event of the Madrid Forum 2022 “Affordable housing”.  \nAfter several international debates and events in Lithuania in 2021\, the initiative resumed with an international online conference Holistic Renovation of Modernism Housing on April 11\, 2022.  15 lecturers from different countries\, including Mies van der Rohe Award recipients Christophe Hutin (2019) and Xander Vermeulen Windsant (2017) as well as Olena Olyinik\, the Vice-President of the National Union of Architects of Ukraine\, presented implemented projects and research on the topic. According to the BAUA president Juris Poga\, the conference and the upcoming exhibition\, which will be followed by a book\, will serve as a platform to discuss the most relevant topics\, to highlight the challenges\, to share the experience\, and to present the best European practices of holistic renovation of modernism housing.  \nThe exhibition showcasing 11 European examples and research of a holistic renovation of the housing built after the WWII will be inaugurated in Madrid on 16 May 2022 at 15:45 CET during the Madrid Forum “Affordable housing”. Venue – COAM\, Sala Mercadal\, C/ Hortaleza 63\, 28004 Madrid\, Spain.  \nOrganisers: International Union of Architects UIA\, Baltic Architects’ Unions’ Association BAUA\, Architects Association of Lithuania\, Latvian Architects Union\, Estonian Architects Union; partners: AHA Affordable Housing Activation\, Architects’ Council of Europe ACE; sponsors: Lithuanian Council for Culture\, Cultural Endowment of Estonia\, Latvian State Culture Capital Foundation.  \n  \nFor more information\, please contact Rūta Leitanaitė at info@architektusajunga.lt
