DESCRIPTION:Claudia Devaux\n15:30-16:30 - Claudia Devaux\nCo-managing arch
 itectural office DDA Devaux & Devaux Architectes\n\nHeritage as potential:
  create\, transform\, conserve\n\nWhether the goal is to create\, transfor
 m or conserve\, the project always begins with a detailed analysis of what
  is already there. It means to reveal the history of the site\, its long e
 volution until today\, to understand its raison d’être and evaluate its
  potential in the light of contemporary challenges\, both social and envir
 onmental. Each project must be conceived in its relationship to the natura
 l and cultural as-found and in the dialogue established with it. Much is a
 t stake\, from a cultural point of view\, as well as from an ecological an
 d economic perspective. The question is how can an existing place be trans
 formed so it becomes liveable again\, while ensuring what is created remai
 ns contemporary. Working with the existing is fully at the service of the 
 ecological transition\, since it is a question of making the most of resou
 rces already there. The heritage sustainability is a matter\, both eminent
 ly societal and profoundly ecological. Whatever the type of intervention\,
  creating - transforming - conserving\, heritage should today be considere
 d as potential.\n\nShort bio: \n\nClaudia Devaux is an architect with a l
 ong track record of intervention in architectural heritage. Born in German
 y\, she graduated from the EPFL (1998). After working five years in Berlin
  on projects of restoration of modern heritage\, especially on the site of
  the Bauhaus in Dessau\, she joined in 2007 the agency DDA\, founded in Pa
 ris in 1998 by David Devaux\, graduate of the Architecture School of Versa
 illes. In 2011\, she obtained the title of “Heritage Architect” from t
 he Chaillot School in Paris. A specialized heritage unit headed by Claudia
  Devaux deals with projects related to the historic buildings and heritage
  of the 20th century. DDA uses its dual capacity to link together restorat
 ion\, transformation and creative projects. The exhibition in 2020 at the 
 Paris Architecture Gallery highlights the work done in the existing. Claud
 ia Devaux is invited to lecture internationally on wider themes relating t
 o heritage\, restoration\, creation and the work of the practice.
