DESCRIPTION:Sébastien Chaperon\nAVIOLAT CHAPERON ESCOBAR\nConversion of a
  building at chemin Guillaume Ritter in Fribourg\n\nAt the bend of a tree-
 lined alley\, the Ritter House emerges—white\, slender\, and seemingly r
 oofless. Its tall vertical windows and protruding cornices create striking
  overlaps\, while its double enfilade layout extends and revitalizes the e
 xisting structure. Cloaked in a timeless white veil\, it becomes an open-e
 nded symbol\, inviting the most poetic associations of thought.\n\nSébast
 ien Chaperon is a Swiss architect who graduated from HES Fribourg in 2005.
  He has led projects at 0815 Architekten in Freiburg and Dreier Frenzel in
  Lausanne\, including the Ecoquartier Jonction in Geneva. In 2014\, he co-
 founded Aviolat Chaperon Escobar Architects\, based in Fribourg and Neuch
 âtel. A member of FAS since 2022\, he has also been a professor at HES-SO
  Fribourg since 2015\, teaching construction\, first-year architecture\, a
 nd interdisciplinary projects.\n\nThis lecture is part of the school lectu
 re series\nHOUSING VOL.2 - Housing and Reuse\n\nReuse of existing building
 s is increasingly becoming a good practice. Yet\, reuse is easier said tha
 n done. Within a capitalist society\, buildings are produced as commoditie
 s and\, as such\, they are not meant to last. Moreover\, what is at stake 
 within reuse is not simply the reuse of buildings per se\, but the whole p
 rocess of building production behind each architectural project.\n\nThis l
 ecture series explores projects of reuse in which former offices\, factori
 es\, or houses are transformed or expanded as residential spaces. Each lec
 ture will focus on one building in order to shed light not only on the adv
 antages of reuse but also on its limits and challenges. The lecture series
  will be complemented by the launch of Professor Charlotte Malterre-Barthe
 s’s A "Moratorium on New Construction".
