Speculative redevelopment and conservation: The signifying role of architecture

Abstract

Urban processes of speculative redevelopment and conservation are often understood as opposed to each other. In the following paper, my aim is to question this assumption by exploring similarities of the two processes with regard to the way they understand, shape and produce architecture. I analyse mediation between speculative redevelopment and conservation on one side and architecture on the other side. Architecture has a double role: as a sign of itself and as a signifier of the mentioned processes. By means of architecture, a specific form of temporality, that denies historicity and operates with a static notion of time, is mediated by both speculative redevelopment and conservation.
