Demolition vs. Transformation in practice
Prora „Block 1” is a massive building structure on the Island of Rugen/ Germany with a length of 450m. This challenging, but successful transformation of the existing ruin into new apartments and a hotel was carried out between 2013-16. In that case transformation vs. demolition lead to a significant reduction of C02 emission by using the existing structure.
