1.Lectures HouseEurope! Renovate, don’t speculate

Pakhuis de Zwijger

Architecture accounts for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions. How can we rethink demolition and renovation in light of today’s urgent climate and housing crises? As the official Dutch partner of HouseEurope!, ACAN NL, AvBK, and IABR host a public event to spotlight the movement calling for EU legislation that promotes renovation over demolition. Featuring a film screening, lecture, and panel discussion, the event opens space for dialogue on systemic change, architectural responsibility, and building a strong Dutch network for action. Can the Netherlands help shape a more sustainable European future – one renovation at a time?

With:

Hedwig van der Linden, Architect, Researcher and Co-founder at Dérive
Olaf GrawertCo, Initiator and Communications at HouseEurope! and founding partner at design practice b+

HouseEurope! wants to create incentives that make renovation the new norm. This will boost the renovation market and give new value to what is already there. The goal is to preserve homes and communities, ensure a fairer and more local building industry, save energy and resources, and preserve our memories and stories.

Every minute, a building in Europe is destroyed – not by natural disaster, but by human hands. While they profit, you pay the price: with rising rents and rising temperatures. We want to stop this destruction and make renovation the new norm — because demolishing existing buildings is as outdated as food waste, animal testing, fast fashion, and single-use plastics.

More about the speakers

Olaf Grawert plans, writes, and talks about architecture. His work focuses on the Poetics and Politics of Space: the political and economic conditions, as well as the imaginaries and narratives that shape the built environment. Collaborating with a network of individuals and institutions across Europe, he develops projects that bridge theory and practice, including building design, campaigns, exhibitions, films, publications, and teaching.

He is a founding partner at the collaborative design practice b+ (bplus.xyz), which focuses on the adaptive reuse of existing buildings. He is the co-initiator and campaign manager at HouseEurope!

Hedwig van der Linden is an architect and educator, and co-founder of the Brussels and Rotterdam-based design and research practice Dérive. She studied architecture at TU Delft and worked at the Chair of Area Development and Architecture Workroom Brussels, where she focused on cultural production and spatial transformation. With Dérive, she explores how design research, dialogue, and co-creation can support transitions in urban environments. Her projects range from climate-adaptive interventions in Rotterdam courtyards to neighborhood-based cultural programs. Hedwig also teaches at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture, and TU Delft.
