On transformation

10/12/2019, h. 9:30 – 12:00
Scuola di Architettura Urbanistica e Ingegneria delle Costruzioni, via Ampère 2, AULA Z.2

Taking as a point of departure the work of two architects, Jonathan Hermann (Stereo architektur — Hermann Meletta Risch) and Raphael Kräutler (Berrel Berrel Kräutler), the seminar proposes a critical exploration of adaptive reuse and revitalisation strategies in the context of the contemporary city. It considers projects of different scales and degrees of intervention, so as to reflect on the action of inserting new functions, parts or values in preexisting architectural organisms. In doing so, it aims to illuminate the theme of transformation in architecture and its potential to generate new connections between memory and renewal, the past and the present, space and use, the building and its surroundings.
