The lecture will explore the historical differences in attitudes to ruination and decay and propose possible grounds for reinterpretation of post-industrial architectural function and form through reclaiming and reuse of decaying and ruined structures.

Embracing design and theoretical reflection, research of historical precedents and creating contemporary history, the Future Architecture lecture series positions itself in relation to the past by suggesting what the future should/could look like. The series stands at the intersection of building practice, diverse architectural viewpoints, and global and local contexts. Most importantly, Future Architecture enables the expression of nuanced image of the global state of architecture spoken through the voices of international emerging authors.
