Since devastation of old buildings and erecting new ones is still the common way of modernisation in many cities, a round table on the cultural and ecological value of ancient buildings will take place in February. Invited speakers are architects, historians of architecture and colleagues from city planning.
Pollution and the emission of CO2 are strong environmental reasons to change to building on existing stock. The buildings in danger now are attractive schools, dating back to the turn of the 20th century, situated in the city of Dortmund, Germany. Please find more information and a petition to protect these schools on: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/blog/rettet-die-dortmunder-kreuzschule-und-weitere-schulen-im-stadtgebiet
