Every minute, a building is destroyed in Europe – not by natural disasters, but by human hands. While some profit from this, the majority pay the price: with rising rents and rising temperatures. The European citizens’ initiative HouseEurope! has set itself the goal of stopping this destruction and making renovation the new norm. House Europe! is calling for new EU laws to counteract speculation-driven demolition. The petition of the European citizens’ initiative HouseEurope! ends on 31 January 2026. By then, one million signatures must be collected across Europe to launch an EU-wide renovation campaign. Along construction fences, the pop-up exhibition in the courtyard of the Az W informs visitors about the urgency of a necessary demolition stop, the initiative’s plans and the instrument of direct democracy. A renovation atlas shows the diversity of small to large renovation projects in the areas of housing, commerce and administration. As a supporter from the very beginning, the Architekturzentrum Wien is calling for a countdown to the collection of votes: come by, get informed, sign up!
