Cities change constantly in the open-ended spectacle of daily life, with new buildings being constructed and with the repair or demolition of old and redundant structures. However, within this urban flux, some elements endure: from the major urban spaces, the exemplary architectural works, the memorials to major historic events. Over centuries, these urban-artefacts become symbols of civic identity, embedded in the memory of citizens. Also, there are structures that endure through adaptation, embracing change by bringing in suitable new uses to old spaces. This studio explored the “creative” potential of building adaptation. It focused on suitable “retired” buildings in a city, blurring conventional boundaries between architecture and interiors. We researched every aspect of the existing architectural space, including its history and setting, the essence of its emotional power, and its place in the collective urban memory. We then designed inspiring interior-architectural transformations that generated new spatial purposes, experiences, expressions, meaning, emotions and memories. Students discovered the potential of interior design to transform entire buildings. Working from the inside out, we created interior architecture that stimulates new civic memories.
