Smart re-cycle recycling strategies for architectures and cities

Abstract

The recycling of different forms of architectural buildings within the settlement areas and buildings that appear to be waste (Berger, 2006; Koolhaas, 2006) are produced unintentionally (Clement, 2008; Bauman, 2005) by the transformations of the city (Lynch, 1992; Price, 2003). The presence of numerous abandoned or being abandoned buildings and urban equipment structures - architecture and engineering products - is not occasional, but a structural factor of the form of urbanism that characterizes the contemporary city. This research aims to take action on the effects of this dynamic, partly physiologically, for the internal migration of residences or other facilities and, for buildings and building materials, there is currently no programming life cycle, or recycling and design of these wastes (McDonough, Braungart, 2002). The aim of the research will be the recycling of these areas, and architectural objects, considering them as parts of new building structures, new architectures for new functions. There are significant instances of entire urban complexes that have completed their life cycle compared to the function for which they were constructed and compared to the environmental and energy sustainability. For this heritage building in the process of obsolescence, the research will study the strategies and tactics to turn new dynamics through integrated sustainable projects (Brundtland, 1987; Horizon, 2020). New functions in the urban context and the legislative overhaul of inefficient buildings will be an occasion to test, in a second phase, the complete recycling of buildings and their spaces belonging to the scene of daily life (De Certeau, 1990) that can be reinterpreted through their new configurations.
