Planning for Change
A Joint program organized by: CIB W104 Open Building Implementation and the Council on Open Building on
Wednesday May 21, 2025
Registration Open Now: See details
Functions and floor plans change all the time in large buildings, in every country, because societies are dynamic, and performance standards and user requirements evolve. Yet we need buildings to last for 100+ years In their decisions and practices, it is incumbent on clients, design service professionals, public officials and builders to plan for the inevitability of continual adaptation. Without designing our building stock for change, our collective efforts of meeting sustainability goals are severely undermined.
This 3.5 hour hands-on workshop will engage a group of 20 - 30 (+/-) participants from many design disciplines and countries in design exercises led by Open Building experts. We will explore and discuss basic methods needed to assure that housing, educational and healthcare facilities, both new and existing, are designed for continual change.
