Cities Connection Project #5 - Reactivate the city

Curators

Nicola Regusci et Xavier Bustos

About/Content

This exhibition takes place within the framework of the partnership proposed to WBA by Cities Connection Project (CCP). CCP was created with the desire to establish a cultural connection between two European cities with an important architectural and cultural tradition. The cities of Zurich, Mendrisio, Geneva and Lausanne were involved in the previous editions.

Each event, called Connection, consists of an exhibition in both participating cities and offers a new theme that always takes into account the idiosyncrasies and the cultural and architectural background of the invited city or region. This edition is centered on the re-use of existing spaces, the mixed use and the reconstruction of the city.

Catalogue

The Cities Connection Project is a connector between cities and their architecture, created by architects Nicola Regusci and Xavier Bustos, with the aim of generating synergies between architects, cultural agents, governments and universities among European cities.

The fifth edition, connecting Barcelona with Wallonie-Bruxelles works with projects with the idea of reactivating the city, understanding the architecture of public facilities (cultural, educational, mixed-use, public spaces) as social cohesive devices of special importance in areas with a certain degree of urban decay. Whether it is through new builds in some cases or recovering pre-existing buildings in others, this theme attracts a great deal of attention in the two cities, given their architectural tradition in urban regeneration, creating a shared space for reflection.

This publication présents 20 project from Wallonia-Brussels and 20 projects from Barcelona.

With Augmented Reality contents in each project.
