Long description:

Through cultural mapping and design methodologies, this book illuminates the role of architecture in preserving collective memory while adapting to contemporary needs. The focus on memory and history brings attention to the restoration and reinterpretation of historic sites, including cemeteries, villas, and classical facades. The heritage preservation section highlights innovative approaches to safeguarding historic structures, such as ancient city walls in Xi?an and ecclesiastical sites in Italy, emphasizing the challenges and methodologies in maintaining architectural authenticity. Addressing modern challenges, the segment on identity and sustainable architecture bridges tradition with ecological innovation. Case studies illustrate the creation of eco-cultural spaces, the sustainability of traditional marketplaces, and new typologies for housing programs that respect cultural heritage. Digital art and virtual realities bring a contemporary dimension to the discourse, exploring how technological mediums allow for new expressions of identity and creativity, with a particular focus on modern Emirati women?s contributions to this evolving field. Finally, architecture?s potential to advance social justice and inclusivity is explored through projects that reimagine settlement patterns, promote universal design in public spaces, and integrate marginalized communities into urban landscapes.
