Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This article introduces a combined CARE+REPAIR framework for architecture. It ties to recentscholarship on Broken World Thinking, that sees care and repair as opportunities (Jackson,2014). The following CARE+REPAIR framework was established via practice-based research withaNNo architecten (www.annoarchitecten.be), who incorporate into their architectural projectsideas and strategies on repair and care. Based on their real-world projects this model provides aholistic approach to preserving existing structures while also encouraging change in benefit ofpeople and their environments within a context of Broken World Thiniking.The model is organized into four quadrants, each representing a crucial area of architecturalconcern: the ecological, social, cultural, and wellbeing.
