Architectural revolution: innovating without demolishing everything

Rather than demolishing everything, how about reinventing architecture while preserving what already exists ?
It is this exciting challenge that Erwin Spitzer takes up with conviction, architect and advisor in the energy performance of buildings (EPB), he combines innovation and responsibility for sustainable construction that is deeply aligned with current ecological and social issues.

In this episode "Architectural revolution: innovating without demolishing everything", he shares his committed career, his learning around EPB requirements, as well as his fine vision of ecological renovation favouring the circular and bio-based economy. While he deplores the fact that many remain attached to appearances to the detriment of real impact, he invites us to profoundly rethink our relationship with the built environment.

This dialogue also explores the economic and political obstacles, as well as the crucial role of architects, contractors and citizens in deploying a new construction culture. Erwin finally reveals what motivates him on a daily basis in this quest for meaning and impact.
