ZUKUNFT STADT Podcast

⇒ Renovating the old WU building – but how?

ZUKUNFT STADT Podcast #32 by future.lab (TU Wien) explores the question of how large-scale structures can be transformed rather than demolished. Together with Johannes Bretschneider (Urbanism, TU Wien), Ariadne Hinzen (Kollektiv Raumstation), André Krammer (Urbanism, TU Wien), and Lisa Schönböck (Architects for Future), the discussion focuses on reasons to preserve existing buildings beyond heritage protection, the challenges involved in transforming megastructures, and what is needed for the successful renovation of large-scale buildings. In episode #31, the podcast also invites listeners to take a walk through the University Center Althangrund.
