The event explores the connections between post-war architecture and contemporary approaches to urban development, public space and cultural heritage. It creates space for projects, discussions and new perspectives on public space, cultural heritage and urban life. Public space is seen not merely as a backdrop, but as a place for urban culture, community and change. The event serves as a platform for critical and active reflection on cities and architecture.
The platform brings together organisations, initiatives and individuals actively engaged in public space, architecture, cultural heritage and related social issues. Their work takes many forms – from photography, research and publishing to organising events and community activities, as well as architectural and urban planning practice.
Despite their different approaches and media, they share a common interest in places and buildings that remain outside the focus of public attention. Through their activities, they reveal their value, stories and potential, bring them to a wider audience and create new ways of interpreting them. In doing so, they help shape society’s relationship with overlooked and forgotten places, increase their visibility and bring these topics into contemporary discussions on architecture, urbanism and public space.
