Colloquium to celebrate the publication of the book 'War Diaries: Design after the Destruction of Art and Architecture', edited by Aleksandar Staničić (TU Delft) and Elisa Dainese (Georgia Tech).
About the book War Diaries: Design after the Destruction of Art and Architecture Focusing on regions where planners, architects, and artists are involved in concrete initiatives on the ground, War Diaries looks at complex postwar settings to illuminate design responses to urban warfare and violence against the built environment. The essays discuss creative strategies for rebuilding and restablizing damaged sites, often within the context of continuing animosities; the establishment of design coalitions to work with local communities on reconstruction; the designing of emergency settlements; the development of new and customized strategies for rebuilding diverse parts of the ravaged world; and the teaching of culturally sensitive design practices to architects and urbanists, among many other topics.
Preliminary programme
A series of speakers at the colloquium will discuss state of affairs in the field and what are the next challenges of (practicing, teaching) architectural design in violent environments.
