Adaptive Architecture: Rewriting the Built Environment

This lecture explores the work of Jarrik Ouburg, a key figure at HOH Architecten, focusing on the concept of adaptive architecture. Ouburg's approach emphasizes working with existing resources and people to create innovative designs, as showcased in projects like Kelbergen 2.0 Wooden Housing and Kavel 6 Urban plan. The lecture delves into Ouburg's research 'Tabula Scripta', which led to the publication 'Rewriting Architecture, 10+1 Actions for an Adaptive Architecture'. Through examples like the Fushimi Inari path and the unique design of a crematorium, Ouburg's philosophy of reacting, reducing, and revealing in architectural design is highlighted. The lecture also discusses the importance of individuality through collectivity and expression through neutrality in architectural projects.
