The exhibition presents ten strategies of architects and urbanists for the future handling of the building stock. They plead for a rethinking and careful repair of built habitats and living cultures. They show how new perspectives can be created in urban and rural contexts through networked approaches, public welfare-oriented cooperation and participation concepts. For the future stock, i.e. the buildings constructed today, strategies for a circular use of materials and an openness to future requirements will be developed.
