Stage 7 ½ of the RIBA plan of work explores the transformation of the existing built environment In a scenario where no demolitions can occur anymore and where existing structures are constantly transformed through the forgotten art form of repair, and a perpetual process of accumulation. In the first half of the 21st century when the impact of climate change was first understood, there was a fundamental re-working of the construction industry. This involved new legislation at the national level, changes to building regulations and the planning framework. Stage 7 ½ of the RIBA Plan of Work consists of implementing repair as a policy in the building industry, for the re-appropriation of the urban landscape. The project explores the inherent opportunities of derelict site, and their material value. The reuse derelict sites consists of repair, an endless process, it carries both, the notion of destruction and reconstruction within the same word : but ultimately talks about a process of appropriation. The city is repaired to resist. The technic focuses on exposing the building ‘bones’ (structure) from a process of stripping off. Therefore, exposing the building to its full potential.
