Re-Thinking Re-Use is a dialogue and collaboration between Dutch and Japanese (building) cultures in which differing perspectives enrich and inspire one another.
By learning from each other’s traditions and views on old, new and change, the project seeks a new and guiding balance. It embraces the reuse and transformation of existing buildings, structures and materials to encourage an exchange between generations of architects and builders, and between innovation and craftsmanship.
At a time when the construction sector faces the ecological impact of its actions, Re-Thinking Re-Use offers a sustainable perspective, rooted in continuity and evolution within the built environment.
