DESCRIPTION:COUNTDOWN 2030: Rahel Dürmüller et Friederike Kluge\nDEMOL
 ITION AS AN EXCEPTION?\nLECTURE BY THE COLLECTIVE COUNTDOWN 2030\n\nMonday
  10 October 2022\, 12:15 p.m.\nArchizoom\, Foyer SG\, Place Ada Lovelace\,
  EPFL \n\nOn the occasion of the exhibition Ultimate Matter\, Friederike
  Kluge and Rahel Dürmüller\, co-founding members of the collective Count
 down 2030\, will present their research and actions regarding the demoliti
 on of buildings in Switzerland. \n\nIndeed\, in Switzerland\, over 500 ki
 lograms of construction waste are produced every second through the demoli
 tion of buildings. The building industry is thus responsible for 84% of wa
 ste in the country. Landfills are filling up faster than new sites can be 
 found. The current swiss measures are not enough to achieve the goals of t
 he Paris climate accords. The solution for this problem consists in preser
 ving\, rebuilding\, and repurposing existing buildings. Demolitions of bui
 ldings and their replacement with new constructions should\, whenever poss
 ible\, be avoided and can no longer be considered the first and most obvio
 us option.  \n\nIn this context Countdown 2030 curated the current expos
 ition at the swiss architecture museum in Basel “Die Schweiz: Ein Abriss
 ” (La Suisse: Une Démolition). To get the discussion on this issue\, th
 e group has published the Demolition Atlas\, which documents demolition b
 uildings throughout Switzerland.
