Climate crisis and geopolitical instability are forcing a reassessment of our approach to construction. An initiative titled "Build–Don't Build" by architect Brigita Bula was presented at the Architects' House, urging consideration of more sustainable environmental practices. The initiative prompts reflection on whether new buildings are always necessary or if existing structures can be utilized more wisely. This question is becoming increasingly relevant due to resource constraints and environmental pressures. Bula calls on architects and the public to reevaluate construction habits and focus on the potential of existing buildings.
