Why don't we just build something new? Or rather: why should we when we can also repurpose? 🔄💡 On April 30, Re 6* is about nothing less than the future of our cities and the clever use of existing spaces. Journalist and author Gerhard Matzig and architect and professor Amandus Samsøe Sattler will discuss sustainable transformation, the revitalization of historic buildings and how we can rethink the city. 🏛️

Get ready for exciting insights, visions and a discussion about how we can shape the architecture of tomorrow - with a clear focus on sustainability and innovation. Come along, listen and contribute your own ideas! 🌱💬

Gerhard Matzig (*1963 in Deggendorf) is a journalist and non-fiction author. He has been writing for the feature section of the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper since 1997, in particular on architecture, urban planning and society. After studying law, political science and architecture, he completed a traineeship and worked as a freelance journalist before moving to the SZ. Matzig's texts are characterized by an interdisciplinary perspective that links architecture with zeitgeist and urban sociology. In 2013, he was awarded the literature prize of the Association of German Architects and Engineers.

Amandus Samsøe Sattler (*1957 in Marktredwitz) is a German architect and professor with over 35 years of experience in various areas of architecture, including urban development, monument protection, cultural, residential and commercial buildings as well as interior design and building in existing structures. He is co-owner of the Berlin architecture firm Ensømble Studio Architektur and previously founded Allmann Sattler Wappner Architekten in Munich, where he worked until 2022. Since 2020, he has been President of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) e.V. In addition, he has been teaching as a professor in the Department of Architecture at the International University of Applied Sciences in Berlin since 2021 and is involved in various committees and advisory boards for architecture and urban design.

Re*
Under the title 'Re*', the DG Kunstraum, the Art Pastoral Department of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and the Art Department of the Protestant Church in Bavaria invite you to a series of events on the pressing issue of sustainability in the construction sector.

Two speakers will talk about their commitment in this area: the focus is on a sustainable and liveable future in our cities, reduction, reuse, recycling, repair, transformation and rethinking. The different potentials of institutions and innovation come together and new synergies in the areas of economy, ecology and use can arise from this.

We offer a platform for open discussion - what is possible, what are the needs and obstacles on the one hand and what opportunities and ideas are there on the other? In particular, we look at churches as public spaces in the context of the urban fabric. What new uses could be of interest to urban society?
