“Renovate or demolish ?” : Research & reflections during the "Midi de l'Archi"
This Friday, our team met up around the question “renovate or demolish ?” during a new “Midi de l’Archi”.
Today, that important question arises more and more often at the beginning of a project concerning an existing building and its heritage value.

This « Midi de l’Archi » will open discussion within DDS +. It will also enable us to work on future strategies in order to support our clients for innovative and ecofriendly projects.
