About n'UNDO - n'UNDO | For building future

About

Facing construction as a traditional way to improve our environment, n’UNDO shows that it is possible to build more and better by NOT DOING, REDOING or UNDOING, actions that guarantee economic, social, cultural and environmental sustainability.

An active and proactive NO.
To preserve, protect, care for. Proving the sustainability and profitability of not intervening.

To Reuse, Regenerate, Revert, Recover, Rehabilitate, Revitalize, Relocate, Restore… placing value on preexistences.

To Reduce, Minimize, Eliminate, Dismantle, Demolish…
Effective response to excess.
