SUMMARY:SIA-German Design Council Professional Knowledge Series - Redesigning Sustainable Architecture 
DESCRIPTION:Germany's decades-long leadership in sustainable architecture — from Passive House standards to the holistic DGNB certification model — sets a compelling benchmark for the profession worldwide. This seminar brings together two leading practitioners to examine how conversion\\, adaptive reuse\\, and low-carbon transformation can drive new urban vitality. Sustainability is no longer a moral choice but a design imperative — and for architects in Singapore\\, rising standards are an opportunity\\, not a burden.\\n\\nProf. Zhang Jie (Tsinghua University\\, UNESCO Chairholder) presents case studies from China — including the Taoxichuan Ceramic Art District in Jingdezhen and the Lianjiang Kuilongfang Historic District — demonstrating how industrial brownfields and historic neighborhoods can be reactivated through his methodology of "Associative Regeneration\\," connecting industrial memory with contemporary cultural and civic use.\\n\\nStephan Schütz\\, Executive Partner at gmp Architects\\, offers a German perspective through UMBAU: Nonstop Transformation — drawing on conversion projects across Germany and Asia\\, from the Kulturpalast Dresden to the National Museum of China — to show how architectural transformation is an intergenerational\\, collaborative discipline that transcends borders.
