| dc.description | Global capitalism induces the pressure for change and when urban areas, such as Aker Brygge, are being refurbished, so are the facades. Existing buildings are re-clad with new, green facades, resulting in the disposal of old materials. However, in the context of climate change, this waste poses a significant burden on the planet, so instead of simply discarding the old, there is a need to explore and harness the potential of existing structures. The facades at Aker Brygge plays a central role in representing the areas culture and history, so this diploma project explores repurposing existing facade materials and delves into authenticity, deception, and the facades as conveyors of representation and language, reflecting on how facade changes impact the area's identity and cultural heritage. | en_US |
