HouseEurope!
HouseEurope! is a collective advocating for new legislation across Europe to limit unnecessary demolition and promote the transformation and reuse of existing buildings. They argue that current policies often favor demolition over renovation, leading to unnecessary waste, carbon emissions, and the loss of architectural and cultural value. By pushing for legal frameworks that prioritize preservation, HouseEurope! seeks to make transformation the default approach in urban development. At INDESEM 2025, they will explore the scale and theoretical foundations of demolition and transformation, highlighting the urgent need for policy change. Their mission goes beyond discussion—they are actively campaigning for legislative reform, and you can support their cause by signing their petition on their website: houseeurope.eu.
