A second life for Contemporary Ruins. Temporary Adaptive Reuse strategies of Interior Design to reinterpret vacant spaces

The goal of this analysis is to identify the role of Interior Design within Temporary Adaptive Reuse strategies geared to benefitting from Contemporary Ruins, preserving their identity and their memory in recent history. The aim of the paper is to envisage new future scenarios based on a creative and holistic Design approach, enabling Contemporary Ruins to become once more accessible and to bring them back to life by imagining how their social and cultural connections could be locally and globally renewed.
