Friday April 14th, together with Popma ter Steege we presented the new publication: Reuse to Reduce. Architecture within a Carbon Budget. The Case of BioPartner 5 - Popma ter Steege Architects. In this post we share imagery of the evening as well as a beautiful series of photos of the publication by The Book Photographer.

It was a great afternoon with interesting talks by a.o. Mantijn van Leeuwen, Jan Willem ter Steege, Josse Popma, Marie-Laure Hoedmakers, Paul Korthagen, Rene de Wit, Tariq Heijboer and Aaron Betsky.

Thanks to Nieuwe Instituut & NAI Booksellers for the collaboration, and buro bordo for the splendid organisation.

About the publication
Reuse to Reduce is a plea by Popma ter Steege Architects to embrace the circular transition as a chance for a more meaningful architecture. An architecture that employs the necessary reuse of building materials to rethink our needs, way of building and aesthetics. It is a plea for design shaped by planetary boundaries and the use of a carbon budget as a tool for this. It wants to help shift the discourse on circularity towards design and away from technocracy.
