This architectural thesis aims to re-examine, to redesign, to rebuild, to reuse and to revitalise abandoned spaces where life has left them empty.
About
Life in architecture, while it includes the accommodation of such abilities set out by the functionalists’ theorems has a more poetic meaning. Life within architecture relates to the movement of energy within a designed construction of sorts because ‘to be a good architect, you have to love people because architecture is an applied art and deals with the framework of people’s lives (Sim, David, and Jan Gehl.),’ so we shall ‘build an order that permits free play for the unfolding of life (Colombo, L.F.).’ So to permit the unfolding of life the same way that agricultural life forms can reclaim abandoned spaces like see in many abandoned buildings; people as a part of nature can reclaim spaces and regenerate abandoned life.
