Reconsidering and reactivating existing structures and finding ingenious solutions for the re-use of that which has been declared obsolete should become a prime motivator for today's designers, planners and architects. The joint symposium planned by urban drift productions and the Zollverein School of management and design will focus on unusual strategies in challenging situations. International speakers from the world of business, academia, architecture, and design present samples of best practice and multidisciplinary strategies for a successful revitalisation of evacuated fields.
The symposium is based on curator Francesca Ferguson s Entry exhibition, Talking Cities, and will be held in English.
