Book Chapter Description

Although the Anthropocene has become the scenario in which we act, humanity has not yet reached sufficient levels of awareness regarding the ways in which to act. It is necessary to define new parameters of resilience to re-establish a balance with the cycles that are repeated in nature and to respond, at the same time, to the renewed needs of a society that must deeply reconsider its consumption styles. Urban transformation can actively contribute to this process by acting through a metabolic dimension. A new paradigm must be defined, in which the concept of exaptation applied to architecture and the city can modify, in a variable and creative way, architectures or abandoned urban parts. The transformation of the former coal-fired power plant (Nordktraft) in Aalborg is an example for overcoming the current economic-industrial crisis and preparing for climate change. The project is part of a regeneration process based on sustainability, both from an environmental and socio-cultural point of view, with a vision particularly focused on physical health and on the growth of the relational life of the population.
