Registration for participation in the seminar
The seminar Repurposing industrial heritage with a focus on innovation and sustainability emerged from an initiative of civil society organizations in Hanoi and is supported by the Goethe-Institut, the Institut Français, the Embassy of the Netherlands, the British Council, and the Franco-German Cultural Fund.
Since 2021, several civil society organizations have been working with EUNIC Vietnam to encourage the local public and policymakers to review former industrial sites from a reuse perspective. Since the last EUNIC event, the City of Hanoi has decided to relocate nine industrial facilities with high cultural and technological value from the center. The vacated spaces provide a concrete occasion to present international findings to the expert community in Hanoi. The particular emphasis is on sustainable use and applications of innovations for this purpose.
On the one hand, this decision opens up opportunities for the development of industrial heritage transformation in Vietnam. On the other hand, the city is facing challenges due to the lack of policies and regulations regarding Industrial Heritage transformation and the absence of successful case studies. According to a survey conducted by the Hanoi Architectural University in 2021, up to 60% of Hanoians do not have a particular interest in industrial facilities. Therefore, the project's objective is to raise awareness among local people about the role of industrial heritage as a valuable resource. For investors and political decision-makers, the focus is on utilization issues, which will be addressed through an exchange of experience and knowledge on conservation, design, and planning.
Meanwhile, in Europe, Industrial heritage values are recognized and integrated into the context of climate change. The participation of the international experts is a cooperation offer of EUNIC Vietnam and the Delegation of the European Union.
