Olaf Grawert

Olaf Grawert is an architect, researcher, and policy advocate. He is interested in how political and economic systems shape the built environment and how they can change to support more social and ecological ways of living.

He is the co-initiator and Managing Director of HouseEurope! (houseeurope.eu), a pan-European nonprofit and policy lab working toward a new understanding of value in the construction sector — socially, ecologically, and economically. He is also a founding partner of b+ (bplus.xyz), an architecture practice that focuses on reusing existing buildings as a way to transform the city
