Popis: The joint European+ project Re-use of Modernist Buildings (RMB) started its activities in 2016. It is an educational collaboration between different European universities and organisations. The main objectives of this initiative is on the one hand to enhance student and staff mobility through a shared educational programme on master degree level; on the other hand it is to develop transformation strategies for modernist buildings, mainly from the post-war period. RMB wants to develop an educational approach to this specific architectural heritage based on common definitions, approaches and methodologies. It takes its point of departure in existing research, educational practices and reference projects in the partner countries. This paper discusses the need for appropriate approaches to modernist buildings, definitions of re-use strategies and the position of RMB – as well as how the project’s educational programme is conceived and structured. Additional a more detailed description of the concept and the making of a so-called Case Study Handbook of Modernist Buildings follows, illuminating its asset as an important research and design tool.
