Lecture and screening “HouseEurope!”
Arno Brandlhuber and Jonas Janke are partners at the well-known b+ architecture practice, who seek to engage with the systemic challenges of our time, particularly those related to the social-ecological transformation of existing buildings, offering economically viable solutions.
b+ is a highly awarded and widely known architectural practice that has been active in shaping spatial policy in Berlin and beyond. They have produced political-social films as architects, published several books and created exhibitions focusing on the promotion of a value system of architectural practice. In this lecture and screening, they will present one of their ongoing projects, HouseEurope!, which aims to change EU legislation to support renovation processes.
