Third multiplier event

The final REcube Multiplier Event will take place in Brussels, at the heart of Europe. The overall aim is to disseminate project outcomes and the Project Results to a broader scientific and professional audience, for wider recognition of the project topic and its outcomes. It will be a conclusive moment of critical evaluation of the REcube project and specifically on the core project results – the Methodology for the sustainable conservation assessment and implementation of Modern concrete architecture – presented in the REcube Guidelines for Practitioners. The inclusion of a larger academic and non-academic audience in the final discussion of the project results allows for the justification of the results and the introduction of final adjustments before the launch of the REcube Digital Academy and publishing of the REcube Guidelines in the Fédération internationale du Béton Bulletin, ensuring the sustainability of the project.

Brussels to Host Final Event Celebrating the Success of the REcube Project
Brussels, September 2024 — The REcube project, an ambitious Erasmus+ cooperation partnership in Higher Education, will mark its completion on September 6th with a milestone event at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) Faculty of Architecture. This event, the third and final in a series of multiplier events, will spotlight the remarkable achievements and far-reaching impact of the project, which has redefined the sustainable conservation and renovation of Modern European concrete architectural heritage.

Celebrating Success: The Third Multiplier Event
To celebrate the successful conclusion of this transformative project, a one-day seminar titled “Building the European Identity: Concrete Architecture Between Legacy and Re-Invention” will be held at the ULB Faculty of Architecture. The event will delve into various aspects of the heritagization and conservation of modern and contemporary concrete architecture. Attendees will gain insights from expert presentations on European heritage policies, case studies, and cutting-edge research initiatives.
A highlight of the day will be the keynote lecture by François Chatillon, scheduled for 18:30. Titled “Concrete Cases,” this lecture will offer a deep dive into the practical applications of sustainable conservation in modern concrete architecture by one of its leading practitioners. Both the seminar and the keynote lecture are open to the general public, providing an invaluable opportunity for community engagement and learning.

A Lasting Legacy
As the REcube project draws to a close, it leaves behind a lasting legacy—a new generation of professionals dedicated to the sustainable development and preservation of Europe’s architectural heritage. The sustainability of the project will be guaranteed by the REcube MOOC available on the POLIMI Learning Platform and by the publication of the REcube Guidelines as a special fib bulletin, ensuring continued access to cutting-edge knowledge and practices.

This project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and education in shaping a greener, more resilient future for Europe’s built environment.
