Building Communities: Rehabilitation and Housing in Barcelona & Zurich -9788412659153

描述

Initiated by architects Eva Prats and Ricardo Flores, Building Communities is a studio interested in working with the architecture that shapes the networks of human relationships. They aim to identify and propose a community between new and old neighbours and fragments of a built city. As an exercise on urban rehabilitation, the challenge is to observe and identify the qualities of the social and physical fabric of an area, putting them in action so that they can contribute to create a new chapter. By observing and incorporating the memory of hundreds of civic, cultural, or personal relationships built over time, we are able to read the memory contained in buildings and people alike.
