Abstract
Cities have always been known both for their dynamism and their persistence as collective artefacts. But even if this striking quality of accommodation impresses itself upon our historical reflections, in each moment, it is the city’s capacity for resilience that is challenged, and new tools and perspectives arise. Today, an ethos of adaptive reuse has widened the range of projects which base themselves on retention and redesign of the existing, but the driving force behind the most successful of these remains the call for urban integration and intensification rather than the historical meaning of the retained elements. Urban identity is always found in the cultural present.
When: 10 May, 13:00-14:45 Central European Time.
