The documentary follows experts from across Europe as they explain why demolishing buildings wastes homes, jobs, energy, and history. The film shows the darker side of the real estate speculation, then reveals how renovation and transformation are real alternatives. At the same time it proposes a change of direction, where the value of the houses is not only a financial one.

The screening is followed by discussions with architects Oana Iacob & Adriana M\u0103geru\u0219an.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
