Abstract
This is a theory led research, driven by an obsession with the social character of Heritage Architecture and the way it relates with change. In an ever changing economy and culture, buildings will certainly mutate over time. Why try to impose any fix solution in a new stage of intervention?
The project will be focused in creating an strategy of intervention and development for Centraal Beheer of Herman Hertzberger. Some structuralist qualities give me hints on how to intervene on this existing building, where adaptability, personalization and change become key to face a new life stage.
