In recent decades, the development of advanced weaponry systems and
the instant flow of information have redefined the notion of urban
warfare as a local phenomenon with global effects in an
increasingly interconnected world. The annihilation of Aleppo and
the broadcasted demolitions of Palmyra demonstrate the accelerating
politicization of the destruction process. In this timely volume,
Elisa Dainese, Aleksandar Stani?i?, and a broad range of
contributors explore the weaponization of architecture-targeted
attacks on art and infrastructure meant to destroy not only
physical structures but also political unity and cultural memory.
Focusing on regions where planners, architects, and artists are
involved in concrete initiatives on the ground, War Diaries looks
at complex postwar settings to illuminate design responses to urban
warfare and violence against the built environment. The essays
discuss creative strategies for rebuilding and restablizing damaged
sites, often within the context of continuing animosities; the
establishment of design coalitions to work with local communities
on reconstruction; the designing of emergency settlements; the
development of new and customized strategies for rebuilding diverse
parts of the ravaged world; and the teaching of culturally
sensitive design practices to architects and urbanists, among many
other topics. A much-needed contribution to our understanding of
postconflict design, this volume maps the creative approaches that
specialists have used to remediate the effects of violence against
cities and cultural heritage.
