DESCRIPTION:Ramun Capaul et Gordian Blumenthal\nConférence de Ramun Capau
 l et Gordian Blumenthal\, architectes à Ilanz.\nDans le cadre du cycle de
  conférences Docomomo Switzerland-TSAM\n\nRediffusion en streaming avec c
 onnexion au lien ci-dessous:\nhttps://epfl.zoom.us/j/353979336\n\nThe unde
 rlying needs\, requirements and external influences relating to the origin
  of the building are changing. Buildings lose their original purpose and b
 ecome obsolete.\nSimple structures such as barns scattered around the rura
 l landscape are being taken back by nature as the years go by. The wind bl
 ows away the roof\, the building is struck by lightning or the structure c
 ollapses under heavy snow. What happens to traditional semi-detached house
 s in\na village that were conceived for an extended farming family that ha
 s not existed in this form for a long time? What about the old blacksmith 
 in town when there are no more horses to be shod? When will existing buil
 dings be replaced by new ones\, and when should they be maintained\, pres
 erved\, integrated\, upgraded\, transformed or extended?\nThe cultural si
 gnificance of existing buildings\, the properties of material and constru
 ction\, spatial qualities and presence in the rural or urban context lead 
 to evaluations and approaches regarding the starting point and depth of th
 e intervention\, considerations on adding or subtracting  layers\, and th
 e continuity\, overlapping or redesign of constructional and spatial struc
 tures.\n
