Building Culture in Dialogue brings the construction change to Bielefeld
On September 17, 2026, the building culture scene will meet at the Ravensberger Spinnerei / VHS in Bielefeld for an evening focused on the treatment of existing buildings. Under the title Construction Change – Plea for the Continued Use of Buildings, the focus will be from 18:00 to 20:00 on how the existing becomes the future.
An evening for all who want to feel urban development
The event emphasizes dialogue, expertise, and concrete perspectives for sustainable architecture. The focal points are the reuse, repurposing, and intelligent transformation of buildings. This is what makes the format exciting for architects, planners, urban enthusiasts, and engaged visitors: it is not about theory in a vacuum, but about a tangible event experience with societal relevance.
Impulses from research and practice
The Forum Building Culture-OWL e.V. invites two speakers for this series who will illuminate the topic of construction change from different perspectives. Christian Burkhardt presents a research project from the University of Kassel on circular typologies, while Alexander Fichte presents a publication on the continued use of abandoned buildings. An introductory lecture contextualizes the handling of worthy buildings in Bielefeld and opens the space for discussion and exchange.
Ravensberger Spinnerei as a suitable place for building culture
Hardly any place is as suitable for a conversation about existing structures, usage, and future as the Ravensberger Spinnerei. The historical ensemble is today a cultural and event center, VHS location, and meeting point for people who want to experience Bielefeld from a design perspective. The atmosphere combines urban history with current city debates and creates an ambiance that pleasantly brings together professionalism and public mood.
Organization, registration, and framework
According to the event information, participation is free. Prior registration is required. Additionally, the event will be recognized by the Architects' Chamber NRW for two continuing education points. This not only adds content depth to the evening but also professional added value for all who are active in building and planning practice.
For those interested in building culture, sustainability, and intelligent handling of existing buildings, this evening offers clear positions, relevant impulses, and genuine discussion potential. Be part of it live and experience the construction change in Bielefeld up close.
