Identifying and honouring local heritage values: Gempt Hall - Prof. Achim Pfeiffer

The program “Repurposing industrial heritage with focus on innovation and sustainability” is organized to promote opportunities to develop industrial transformation projects in Vietnam in the context of Hanoi approving the decision of relocating 09 industrial facilities with high cultural and technological values out of its centre.
With the participation of experts from Europe and Vietnam, the program is expected to enhance the recognition of industrial heritages as valuable resources contributing to regional cultural identity, and creating the opportunity to practice creative innovations in industrial conservation, design and planning in Vietnam.
