a+t 39-40 RECLAIM Koop Online

With this first instalment of the ‘Reclaim’ series, a+t interprets the works analysed and organises its discourse on the basis of &lRe-actions&r, using these actions to create a body of knowledge applicable to any project. The actions are classified into three &lRe-processes&r: Remediate (acting on the territory), Reuse (acting on the building) and Recycle (acting on the material). ‘Reclaim’ has the environmental sense to reclaim the territory, objects, infrastructures and materials, yet it is also a call to reclaim dignity and citizens’ rights.
