The Dutch have become masters of adaptive reuse, transforming buildings with new purposes while preserving their historical essence, and their expertise is admired worldwide. On 24 September, join us for an exclusive online talk with Vita Teunissen, partner at SteenhuisMeurs, one of the Netherlands' top cultural heritage research offices.
What makes the Netherlands a leader in adaptive reuse? Find out in this conversation with Vita Teunissen, who, alongside her team, has been shaping an approach to adaptive reuse that integrates respect for history with forward-thinking design. SteenhuisMeurs specialises in both historical buildings and cultural landscapes, addressing contemporary spatial challenges with a deep understanding of heritage.
Vita’s work is built on the belief that every place holds memories. Her team focuses on interpreting social and spatial contexts and assessing how much change a site can undergo. Having worked on over 600 sites across the Netherlands, they also contribute to international discussions on the future of cultural heritage.
The Future Builders initiative, founded and sponsored by Aluprof, fosters dialogue on the future of design, architecture, urban planning, and construction.
