In the context of the exhibition “Grazer Schule, Stil & Wert eines Phänomens” (Graz School, Style & Value of a Phenomenon), Kilian Kada’s short lecture “sozial-digital-grün” (social-digital-green) uses project examples to present the transformation from existing buildings into contemporary architecture, including the Komische Oper Berlin.
The building stock is an important witness of past epochs and a repository of valuable material. Preserving existing buildings, discovering hidden potential through careful analysis and reprogramming them positively thanks to careful conversion or additions has always been the intended task of identity-conscious architecture. The use of so-called grey energy becomes all the more relevant due to the pressing issues of climate change.
Lecture by Kilian Kada on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 19h00 at HDA – Haus der Architektur in Graz. More information about the event here…
