This document discusses the importance of heritage in contemporary urban developments using two case studies. The first slides provide examples of how small heritage buildings have been retained and incorporated into economically successful town centers, forcing designers to be adaptable. The Kings Cross development in London retained all heritage buildings, including unprotected structures, and used the site's history to inform the masterplan. Threading new infrastructure around old structures resulted in a new quarter with some of the highest property values in London. The retained industrial heritage, like the converted Granary warehouse university, helped attract businesses and give the area a distinctive sense of place.
From a young age I learnt to adapt to different contexts. I grew up in Brazil, circumscribed by rich urban contexts, yet with incredible natural surrounds with wonderful views. Places marked by generosity in space, large scale and typical contrasts. Soon after finishing my university studies, I moved to Europe, and with this came the opportunity to expand my professional experience. I was fascinated by the facility to cross borders between different countries. Undoubtedly, this background had an important influence on me and inspired my professional trajectory.
Over the last four years, I have had the possibility to explore the richness of my background as an independent architect: nenoneto allows both the individual and the professional to be expressed.
Continental Mapping provided mapping to support the realignment of Wood Road in Northeastern Minnesota. The Area of Interest (AOI) centered around a dangerous rural railroad crossing.

iginally a Viking fishing village founded in the 10th century then became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century it consolidated its position as a regional center of power with its institutions, defences and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to Copenhagen's architecture. Later, following the Second World War, the Finger Plan fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes stretching out from the city centre.

2012 the cultural life of public spaces - pugalisLee Pugalis
Within a UK context of radical policy reform and broader global economic shifts, the homogenisation of public space and the decimation of cultural life are leading-edge issues of contemporary concern. Drawing on empirics from a broader research project, this paper reports on the (ongoing) production of public spaces and extracts some pointers for practice pertaining to planning for their cultural life. Underutilisation, temporal dimensions and perceptions of urban quality are analysed, before tentatively considering future directions. Multi-stakeholder coproduction is put forward as a potentially fruitful mode of working.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. • Slides 1-11 are a series of examples of small
scale heritage buildings, stone, brick and
wood being retained and embedded in
economically successful town centres.
Although they pose a problem to “rational
planning”, they do force designers to adapt
their requirements and in so doing create a far
richer urban fabric, on a human scale and with
a clear local identity. Most developers see
heritage as a positive marketing tool for their
locations. In other words it makes money over
the longer term.
13. • The Kings Cross development is on one of the most
valuable sites in Europe. The developer chose to retain
all buildings of heritage value (including ones which
were not subject to any statutory protection). The
masterplan was derived from the history of the site. It
reflected the form of the old railway lines to provide a
rational context for the retained buildings. New
infrastructure, landscape, and roads were threaded
around existing structures. The centre piece is the
Granary warehouse which is now a new university. The
design was challenging throughout but the result has
been a new quarter for London with some of the
highest development values. The sense of place given
by the heritage was instrumental in attracting
businesses including Google, BNP Paribas and The Aga
Khan Foundation.
