On October 17, HouseEurope! will launch its initiative for EU legislation that could make renovations easier and more affordable, while avoiding the demolition of buildings that can be transformed and repaired.

ABOUT HouseEurope!
HouseEurope! is a registered non-profit organization intended as a policy lab to design legislation and host the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). Their team and working methods originate from the architecture office bplus.xyz, which focuses on how to use legislation to adapt and reuse existing buildings, and the chair of architecture and storytelling station.plus, which focuses on how to use time-based media to shape an idea's entry into culture. The goal is to work for the promotion of a more thoughtful approach to construction and politics throughout Europe. Read more about it on their website.
About The Great Repair Moves North
This program is held in connection with the exhibition The Great Repair Moves North. The exhibition highlights how the exploitation of resources and people in the construction industry undermines the integrity of architecture. To promote architecture as a discipline and harness its potential as a reparative force, the exhibition advocates for a new architectural ethos centered around repair.
