Abstract:
This paper is a case study in retrofitting social housing of the 1950´s and 1960´s - a model project in Amberg/ Germany. It shows applied ´acupuncture´ and innovative strategies on very different scales as well as on different layers, to meet the goal of a sustainable retrofitting project in a holistic sense, including cultural, social, environmental and economic sustainability. The project is an example of integral design from competition level and it was given advise, support and will be evaluated by Technische Universität Muenchen and Coburg University / Department of Sociology. The paper explains the proposal which was based on data provided by sociological and technical research before the competition. The simulation data will be examined over a period of 3 years.
