Daily Report - Wednesday
Recycling & Revitalization Strategies were our focus on the 3rd day of the UIA Open Forum Sustainable by Design. Methodologies like thinking from cradle to cradle…like recycling and reusing buildings and building materials…like revitalizing brown field areas and increase the density of the urban sprawl or by renaturizing industrial and housing areas in shrinking cities. The 4 lectures were helt by Prof. Nicoletta Trasi (Sustainable landscapes), Prof. Brian Edwards (Sustainable Urban Living), Prof. Massimiliano Giberti (Reuse vs. Recycling. The use of industrial products in designing architectural envelopes) and Prof. Federica Ottone (the 2nd life project) The intensive discussion after the lectures showed the enourmous potential of adaptation and transformation processes in addition to the more public mitigation strategies.
