Exploring the future of architecture through the lens of the past, Robert K. Huber discusses the significance of reusing concrete in urban design. From the innovative transformation of Munich’s Olympic Village to the Bauhaus Reuse Pavilion in Berlin, his work challenges us to rethink how we preserve and adapt architectural heritage. By blending history with sustainability, Huber’s projects showcase the power of reuse in creating a more conscious and resilient urban future.
