Challenge@PoliTO / Demolition yards. Post-disaster recovery, reuse, reconstruction

This ‘post-disaster landscape’ constitutes a constant design challenge at several scales. ArchLivIng launches an interdisciplinary design challenge aimed to develop a cutting-edge process of intervention in places affected by natural or man-made disaster, through a selective deconstruction with the aim of reusing the original materials oriented for the environmental and landscape rehabilitation of a historic village.
