DESCRIPTION:Roger Tudó\nHARQUITECTES\nOrganizing matter: Social housing i
 n Palma de Mallorca\n\nThe main strategy of the project is to reuse the ma
 terials of the old school demolition to construct the new building\, with 
 an ‘urban mining’ approach where the resources come mainly from the ex
 isting urban plot. The spatial organization and climatic behavior answers
  to the structural system as a new organization of the existing matter.\n\
 nRoger Tudó is a principal and founding partner of the architectural firm
  H ARQUITECTES based in Sabadell (BARCELONA) and founded in 2000 together 
 with David Lorente\, Josep Ricart and Xavier Ros. He had been combining hi
 s professional activity teaching in the ETSAV-UPC\, Harvard GSD and ETH Zu
 rich. Their work has been published in several magazines such as El Croqui
 s\, 2G\, AV\, A+U\, Domus\, Detail\, Casabella\, etc. and exhibited at Ven
 ice Biennial 2016 in the Spanish Pavilion\, awarded with the golden Lion\,
  at Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2019 and at Utzon Center in Aalborg 2021
 \, etc.\n\nThis lecture is part of the school lecture series\nHOUSING VOL.
 2 - Housing and Reuse\n\nReuse of existing buildings is increasingly becom
 ing a good practice. Yet\, reuse is easier said than done. Within a capita
 list society\, buildings are produced as commodities and\, as such\, they 
 are not meant to last. Moreover\, what is at stake within reuse is not sim
 ply the reuse of buildings per se\, but the whole process of building prod
 uction behind each architectural project.\n\nThis lecture series explores 
 projects of reuse in which former offices\, factories\, or houses are tran
 sformed or expanded as residential spaces. Each lecture will focus on one 
 building in order to shed light not only on the advantages of reuse but al
 so on its limits and challenges. The lecture series will be complemented b
 y the launch of Professor Charlotte Malterre-Barthes’s A "Moratorium on 
 New Construction".
