How are some of Denmark's biggest engineering and contracting firms thinking and working towards transformation and material reuse? Tune in to episode two of Shaping The Rule, Ruling The Shape, a podcast series documenting our weeklong fellowship with HouseEurope!

On this episode you will meet Daniel Veenboer, Industrial Design Engineer and Sustainability Consultant of Rambøll, who explains why we demolish rather than transform existing buildings. And what could potentially change that. Afterwards, Niron Nirmalananthan from Tscherning discusses the challenges and opportunities within dismantling, material reuse, and sustainable transformation.

Niron Nirmalananthan: Niron Nirmalananthan is Head of Sustainability at Tscherning which is a Danish construction company specializing in civil engineering and demolition.

Back in August, Copenhagen Architecture Forum, in collaboration with HouseEurope!, invited eighteen architects from across the world to Copenhagen for a week-long fellowship.You are now invited to follow their journey and discover what legislation and politics can mean for architects and architecture when we are willing to listen, question, and engage with the systems around us.
