Reuse of Contemporary City: Experience and Ecology

The recent pandemic has turned a public health emergency into one of the worst international crises of our lifetimes, bringing people apart due to contagion risks. Nevertheless, physical places continue to play a fundamental role on the most significant human relationships, the emotional bonds between people and their surroundings being a powerful aspect of human life. In the contemporary city, where the boundaries between reuse and newconstruction are becoming increasingly blurred, architectural and interior design projects should assume an eco-systemic perspective, focusing on the relational aspects of space, allowing people to benefit from memory and engaging experiences.
