How can we become better at transforming and developing the buildings that already exist, instead of demolishing and building new ones? In the practice-based research project Transformation \u2013 RE:purpose<\/em>, three teams explored the question through case studies of existing buildings. The results are now being presented.<\/p>\n

Demolition and new construction have dominated the building sector in recent decades, resulting in extensive material consumption and significant carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

In three separate reports, the teams behind Transformation \u2013 RE:purpose<\/em> present proposals for how three different buildings in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Ume\u00e5 could instead be transformed for new uses. The reports also include policy proposals aimed at reducing barriers and increasing incentives for transformation.<\/p>\n

In addition, ArkDes, together with the project\u2019s expert advisors, presents a joint report containing further developed policy proposals based on the teams\u2019 work. The report shows that transformation is not only about technology and construction, but also about how values are defined and prioritised within the built environment sector.<\/p>\n

Together, the reports demonstrate how innovative design approaches can contribute to policy development and support the transition within the construction and real estate sectors.<\/p>\n

Transformation \u2013 RE:purpose<\/em> is a collaboration between ArkDes, Boverket \u2197<\/a>, Riksantikvarie\u00e4mbetet \u2197<\/a> and Fastighets\u00e4garna \u2197<\/a>, funded by Vinnova \u2197<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
