The Open Building Workshop is a joint programme organised by CIB W104 Open Building Implementation and Council on Open Building.

Workshop topic

Changes all the Time

Functions and floor plans change all the time in large buildings, in every country, because societies are dynamic, and performance standards and user requirements evolve.

Continual Adaptation

Yet we need buildings to last for 100+ years. In their decisions and practices, it is incumbent on clients, design service professionals, public officials and builders to plan for the inevitability of continual adaptation.

Designing for Change

Without designing our building stock for change, our collective efforts of meeting sustainability goals are severely undermined.

Open Building workshop plan

This 3.5 hour hands-on workshop will engage a group of 20 – 30 participants from many design disciplines and countries in design exercises led by Open Building experts.
