Form follows experience: the revitalization of postindustrial sites by carnivalesque

Abstract

Recent decades are the times for intense socio-economic changes that have significantly influenced the forms of modern shaped public spaces. Freed brownfield sites, prior to transformation are spatial barriers by not integrated communication systems and are deprived of the existing functionality. This brings a risk of devastation and escalation of difficulties with the implementation of the new use. Over the years we have grown accustomed to the program that changes in the areas abandoned by the industry mainly due to the preferences and priorities of their managers and is a consequence of property rights. Models of revitalization strategy are based on the designation of the subject who rules, establishing core groups of beneficiaries to form planning regulations that are less strict than usual1. Significantly, this has a direct impact on the style of architectural intervention, the type of key investments and their functional program.
