Abstract

CITIES. Cities are fragile objects, however, they have an intrinsic ability to recompose after disaster and unscheduled destruction. This article analyzes the processes of formal re-composition of cities under violent destruction events, and the role of memory and forgetfulness as creative tools facing with reconstruction projects. The author discusses the various approaches seen from this perspective, based on cases of study of war-torn cities that already have closed their reconstruction processes. Finally, the article offers a classification of strategies that define a universe of actions and possibilities associated with copying, transforming and omission of elements present on the previous state of the city
