Despre regenerarea spaţiilor industriale» este reprezentativ pentru contribuţiile aduse la problematica domeniului conversiei funcţionale a spaţiilor industriale, adunând la un loc concepte teoretice fundamentale ale acestui domeniu, concepte care ar putea să constituie baza oricărui proiect de intervenţie pe clădiri industriale. Cartea propune o analiză a calităţilor spaţiilor industriale şi a potenţialului de transformare a acestora, cu scopul evidenţierii unor fundamente pentru conservarea, conversia şi (re)valorificarea acestui tip de patrimoniu (abandonat).

Three out of four participants need to be isolated to concentrate on their work and

This path extends across the two neighboring villages, frequently teasing and eventually crossing the river halfway via a footbridge. The geometric contrast between the sinuous river and the path’s rigid lines give its visitors an astonishing sense of levitation, without ever touching the ground.
