Abstract

The city is permanently in transition. The material objects that compose the city are continuously subject to adjustments, improvements or replacements. A bridge is being restored, a window frame is being replaced and an office is transformed in apartments. The process of transformation has been part of the city ever since its origin and will continue as long as the city stands.

The Stadtbauhutte is an effort to make the city’s transformation process an
accessible project that is taken on collectively. A project that is making the transformation visible to the user of the city. The stadtbauhutte is a supporter of preservering material beauty and the craftsman’s competence. And the stadtbauhutte is encouraging the exchange of knowledge and skills.
