Brickworks is excited for the return of the inDETAIL International Speaker Series with Jan Peter Wingender from Office Winhov.

Buildings are more than individual objects. They define our streets and neighbourhoods. They reflect and encourage the development of our cities. Buildings provide a home for people that is strongly connected to daily life. When successful, they allow for varied use and appropriation. Buildings carry the stories of a city, holding a physical and layered memory of a place. This is why we need buildings that withstand time, buildings that remain relevant in their usability, beauty, and presence. In our ever-changing world, the best buildings are those firmly rooted in the everyday. The ones that belong to a place.

Office Winhov are building a sustainable future in the existing city. Sometimes this involves creating a new building. More often, it involves reusing existing buildings. For them, sustainability is more than just the conscious use of energy, materials, and the environment. It must also acknowledge the social, economic, cultural agility and resilience a city needs to face in the future. Office Winhov believe that the most sustainable buildings are built to last while also contributing to the history and character of a city.

There will be several sessions in Brickworks studios around the country. All of the events will be hosted by Stephen Varady, architect and collaborator, who shares Brickworks passion for architecture, design and innovation.
