REIMAGING THE REMNANTS POST EXPO

“Reimagining the Remnants: Transformative Strategies for Post-Expo Sites” explores the potential of repurposing expo site remnants to spur architectural innovation, cultural revitalization, and sustainable urban development. This thesis employs a multidisciplinary approach encompassing architectural theory, cultural studies, urban planning, and environmental sustainability to uncover creative and practical strategies for reimagining these residual spaces. By examining historical precedents, analyzing contemporary case studies, and proposing design interventions, this research illuminates the possibilities and challenges of transforming expo remnants into vibrant urban landscapes that resonate with their cultural and historical contexts. Most important however, it addresses the evolving needs and aspirations of communities in the post-expo era.
