Author: Anamarija Batista, Julia Siedle
A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cin- emas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contrib- uting to the obsolescence of the city.Three strategies must be considered for the efficient transformation of these structures: the conversion of existing architecture and the preservation of the gray energy they embody; the maximization of land use; and the streng-thening of ecological functions to improve the urban microclimate and the quality of living space.The authors analyze potential solutions, pres- ent conversion scenarios, and illustrate these in schematic diagrams.
