Adaptive Reuse in Interiors
July 12th – July 18th, 2023
Şirince, Turkey
Shaping Temporality
Materializing the Absence
Shaping Temporality, Materializing the Absence – Summer School – Adaptive Reuse in Interiors proposes the investigation of Temporary Design Installations in light of their extraordinary function of materializing fictional/referential spaces where social, cultural and technological issues are addressed in a more experiential manner, and where time and space are treated in relation to an intended purpose (design) and a variety of unintended responses (users).
The (BIP) Blended Intensive Programme represents an opportunity for students to explore this special area of design practice and to experience all relevant steps characterizing the project of a temporary design installation.
The Summer School is a multidisciplinary experience, meant to provide attendees with a complete framework of the issues inherent to the project of a temporary design installation within the boundaries of a heritage site through a set of activities, such as lectures by international scholars and designers; an intensive workshop about the practice of adaptive reuse in interiors including a site inspection and the design of a site-specific design installation; a final review and exhibition of the projects.
The educational purpose is focused on learning-by-doing method: practicing the new pieces of knowledge under the supervision of everyday mentors, who will guide attendees during the conceptual and design development of the proposed temporary design installation.
The Summer School is organized by RITM Design & Research, in collaboration with the University of West Attica (Athens, GREECE) – Department of Interior Architecture, and ESADA Andalusian School of Art and Design (Granada, SPAIN) – Interior Design Programme.
Location
Shaping Temporality, Materializing the Absence – Summer School – Adaptive Reuse in Interiors will take place at STOA Center for Body Arts and Studies, located in Şirince, a village of Selçuk, Izmir, Turkey.
STOA is designed as an international centre for research, creation and performance.
The village of Şirince is very close to the ancient city of Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary.

SEMINAR #1
CREATIVE RESTORATION. WHERE DESIGN RECONSTRUCTS TIME.
June 14th, 2023
17.00-19.00 (GMT+3)
SERGIO TADDONIO
Lecturer
Yaşar University, Faculty of Architecture
Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design
RITM Design & Research
The seminar introduces the concept of ‘creative restoration’, a type of conservation practice useful to restore ‘truth’ to the lost monument in order to guarantee its enjoyment, understood not only as a historical document but as a work of art that needs to be experienced aesthetically.
The work of the Italian artist Edoardo Tresoldi – Basilica di Siponto, Italy, 2016 – represents a consistent case study of possible implementations of the concept of creative restoration, bringing art and architecture back to being democratic, and ensuring that a prudential restoration goes hand in hand with the comprehensibility, for a wide public.
SEMINAR #2
RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS AND STRATEGIES FOR INTERVENTION IN HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE. RELEVANT INTERNATIONAL EXAMPLES.
June 21st, 2023
17.00-19.00 (GMT+3)

The aim of the seminar is to open up students’ perspectives when approaching the treatment of a protected and historic building or site and give them some tools to do quality research.
The first part of the seminar will be devoted to giving the students the basic tools for quality research, where to find the relevant information, and how to cite those.
The second part of the seminar will deal with the most relevant examples of intervention in historic sites. The uses that are allowed and the different approaches to reuse in different countries will be analyzed. Different intervention strategies in heritage buildings and materials used will be presented.
SEMINAR #3
NARRATIVE HISTORIES AND MEMORY ASSEMBLAGES: DEALING WITH HISTORICITY AS AN OBJECT OF DESIGN.

ANGELOS PSILOPOULOS
Lecturer
University of West Attica, Faculty of Applied Arts and Culture
Department of Interior Architecture
KATERINA MICHALOPOULOU
Academic Scholar
University of West Attica
The aim of the seminar is to discuss the notions of ‘history’ and ‘memory’ as a single entity that rises from within their dialectic relationship.
To that end, the Bilderatlas Mnemosyne of Aby Warburg will be used as an exemplary study that showcases how histories, memories and narratives can be presented as assemblages that assign new value and significance to the question of their own preservation.
SEMINAR #4
REUSING THE RUIN: VOIDS AND FRAGMENTS
July 4th, 2023
17.00-19.00 (GMT+3)

Postdoctoral Fellow FWO
The seminar explores the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the adaptive reuse of buildings that have fallen into ruin or exist as fragments of their original whole.
Through a series of insightful case studies, the seminar showcases diverse strategies for architectural intervention in ruins.
By examining successful approaches to reimagining and repurposing these structures, the seminar seeks to inspire innovative thinking and shed light on the transformative potential of architectural interventions in ruins.
The seminar aims to generate a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in reusing ruins and the value of preserving historical remnants while breathing new life into decaying architectural treasures.
