Anne Lacaton & Bernard Blanc: "The Second Life of the High- Density Housing Complex"
7 PM
Anne Lacaton runs the architectural office Lacaton & Vassal in Paris (France) with Jean-Philippe Vassal. Bernard Blanc is the general director of Office public de l’habitat de la communauté urbaine de Bordeaux (France). Their project for the transformation of 530 flats in a Bordeaux high-density housing complex serves as a model that shows how quality of life can be raised, and energy consumption lowered, by means of renovating and extending post-war modernist residential buildings under threat of demolition.
