More than 500 kilograms of construction waste are produced every second in Switzerland. The construction industry is responsible for about one third of CO2 emissions and 85% of all waste. In the last twenty years, densification has meant above all: demolition and new construction.
The architectural answer to the climate and housing crisis is impressively simple: transform instead of replace.
This ensures a well-mixed resident structure, reduces the ecological footprint and saves building costs. By further developing the existing housing stock, a natural diversity is created in which old and new complement each other and the history and identity of the settlement are carried into the future. The result is a home for many, a lively neighbourhood. The densification of the existing housing stock offers the opportunity to meet the pressing issues of our time in a positive, pragmatic and creative way.
