  text: "The 2nd RMB Conference 2018 will be held in Coimbra, within the framework
    of the Colloquium ´Teaching through Design´ that is organised by the Department
    of Architecture and the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra,
    since 2012.\r\nThe RMB Conference is an activity of the European Erasmus Project
    “Reuse of Modernist Buildings – Design tools for sustainable transformations”,
    coordinated by Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe (Detmold, Germany), with the University
    of Coimbra, the University of Antwerp, the Instituto Superior Técnico Lisboa,
    the Technical University of Istanbul and Docomomo.\r\nThe conference will be organized
    in four sessions – tools, methods, interdisciplinarity, research – focusing on
    the fundaments and on the advanced issues of the design process related to the
    Reuse of Modernist Buildings (RMB).\r\nArchitecture education is facing new challenges
    due to crises of the globalisation and climate change, that has strong impacts
    on the role of the architect today. The profession is changing and therefore different
    ways of training architects are demanded. This question is especially relevant
    for the renovation of those urban areas where modernist buildings from the second
    part of the  20th century are waiting for strategic interventions – to be repaired,
    to be renewed, to be reconstructed or to be demolished.\r\nThe architect needs
    new tools because just drawing is not enough anymore to understand neither the
    building nor the people who live there. The methodologies are more complex because
    they have to integrate not only the technical and spatial dimension but also the
    social one. This inclusive approach demands not only for new tools but also needs
    the dialogue with other disciplines, promoting an effective interdisciplinarity.
    Considering these topics, the architecture classroom is becoming more lab than
    a workshop, where new tools and methods are researched and explored, developing
    hypotheses that are tested in the design studios."
