Reflections on Rebuilding - A Global journey

Listen to Byens Podcast reporting directly from the UIA World Congress of Architects taking place in Bella Center Copenhagen from 2 to 6 July 2023. In the Rebuilding Pavilion, curated by The Royal Danish Academy and funded by Realdania, the aim has been to physically test sustainable rebuilding. Rebuilding after a devastating war, a huge flooding or with the intention of changing a slum into a proper city. The reasons of rebuilding are many, strategies differ and local settings are crucial to understand, in order to make a real difference. Meet the receiver of the annual Royal Gold Medal 2023, architect Yasmeen Lari, who has dedicated her late career to combine architecture with a social message by creating houses for flood-victims. You will also hear the Syrian writer and architect Marwa Al-Sabouni on rebuilding-strategies after war and Indian architect Bhawna Jaimini reflects on how to change a slum from within. Ingeborg Hau reflects on rebuilding seen in a Danish perspective. Participants ​ Yasmeen Lari, Architect and NGO-leader Bhawna Jaimini, Writer and Architect Marwa Al-Sabouni, Writer and Architect Ingeborg Hau,Chief Advisor, Architecture and the SDGS, The Royal Academy
