We are very proud to present an innovative approach for transformation in architecture. As one of the founding partners at the office Lacaton & Vassal architects in Paris, Anne Lacaton is known for her accurate and in-depth analysis and societal engagement.
With her office specialised in adaptive re-use projects, she develops smart and integrated approaches that revitalise existing buildings. Holding true to her credo ‘Transform, add, re-use, never demolish!’
Holding true to her credo ‘Transform, add, re-use, never demolish!’ she puts the building’s user, use and re-use first, resulting in modest projects that make a difference for its dwellers and context. The office is known for Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the FRAC in Dunkerque and the transformation of the Tour Bois le Prêtre housing block in Paris amongst other projects. The transformation of 530 dwellings in Bordeaux is just completed and a beautiful example of transforming and sustain after war housing.
The office Lacaton & Vassal and the hosting chair Heritage & Design share a strong basis in analysis of the existing and both advocate an integrated design approach. This Visiting Professors program therefore stimulates interdisciplinary, linking heritage and re-use to other fields in architecture in order to share knowledge and exchange visions. Delft Design and Prinsenkwartier are glad to connect this program to the public platform in Prinsenkwartier and hope to continue with new initiatives inspired by this expert in the future.
After the lecture there will be the opportunity to talk with Anne Lacaton, share knowledge and exchange visions till 22.00. The language of the lecture and conversation will be English. Entrance is free.
