Erasmus Projesi, 2021 - 2024
According to the EU Renovation Wave Strategy and Action Plan, only 11% of building stock in the EU undergoes some level of renovation each year, and of it only a fraction is conducted in a sustainable and climate-friendly way. Overall, buildings are responsible for about the 40% of the EU’s total energy consumption, and for 36% of its greenhouse gas emissions derived from energy. On the other hand, for many European countries by 2050, 80% of architecture will be of building stock of which 97% will need to be renovated and possibly repurposed. It is time to act, especially now that the pandemic has set a more onerous economic and social challenge on the building and renovation sector. Within the objectives of the new European Green Bauhaus project, part of the Next Generation EU Programme financed by the European Union, the renewal of our modern built heritage in a more aware and green manner represents a leading and pressing issue. Conservation, renovation and recovery strategies will have to consider that these buildings contain both complex and heterogeneous implications: not only historical cultural values but also economic and environmental inefficiencies (CO2 emissions). These conditions require an approach with high cultural sensitivity to define design strategies: deep knowledge of places and artefacts, understanding and dissemination of new cultures of renewal and recovery, innovation in the use of appropriate materials and technologies, inclusion and social involvement of citizens in decision-making processes and circular practices capable of triggering positive effects from a social and environmental point of view. The REcube project will address all these challenges with a new educational offer, fostering development of competences, enhancing career prospects and engaging participants in building knowledge skills and expertise. To work on the regeneration of post war concrete architectures is an enriching experience, which combines the creative aspects of conceiving a new life for the building with the in-depth research required to understand in full its history and its context.
The REcube will continue to evolve, becoming the steppingstone for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree, which will reunite the higher education members of the partnership in another engaging and challenging transnational academic experience, together with more partners emanating from the field of Sustainable Conservation and Regeneration of the Modern Concrete Heritage. In conclusion, REcube will empower a new knowledge community focused on Modern Concrete Heritage Conservation and Regeneration, enabling the exchange of expertise and practices while fostering the development of professional alliances and networks.
