RENEWAL VS. HERITAGE
Preserve or transform? Erase or adapt? Our Spring issue argues these are not mutually exclusive. When tradition and innovation work together, the spaces that emerge can be resilient, respectful and future-proof, explains our editor in chief Floor Kuitert.
Delve into the portfolios of progressive creatives merging past practices with forward thinking – from deconstructing cultural heritage in order to revitalize crafts to challenging architectural hierarchies by reinterpreting tradition.
Gain insights into how adaptive reuse can reverse rural decline, what it takes for luxury brands to balance preservation and reinvention, how to safeguard – and share – born-digital architecture, and the revival and recontextualization of rammed earth.
Be visually and conceptually inspired by cross-disciplinary creative projects that invite us to engage with histories – personal, cultural, architectural and ecological – while imagining new ways of inhabiting and preserving our world.
