OBSOLESCENCE and RENOVATION – 20th Century Housing in the New Millennium
14-15 December, 2015
University of Seville, Spain
Today, approximately 80% of people live in buildings that are thirty years old or more. Around 50% of people live in houses that are fifty years old and more. The possible obsolescence of this housing stock is a critical issue – both across the continent of Europe and beyond. The reasons for this obsolescence are various: changing lifestyles; changed demographics; an aging population; poor quality of construction; the emergence of new communities etc.
Amongst the questions asked at this conference are how to adapt the housing of the past in a world with new demands - cultural, social, economic and everyday living.
