Imagine old, crumbling buildings in a city that everyone ignores. This project creates a toolkit to turn those dead spaces into lively spots where people actually want to hang out. It uses tech like VR and community input to make sure the new designs fit the local vibe and survive climate change.
Unused cultural heritage sites are often neglected due to climate threats and lack of funding. This leads to urban decay and a loss of community identity and social cohesion.
A decision-support system for reactivating unused spaces and digital tools (AR/VR) for community co-creation and engagement.
If you are a design firm dealing with unused historic buildings—this project developed a decision-support system that helps reactivate these spaces. It ensures the new designs are inclusive and resilient to local climate conditions. This reduces the risk of project rejection by local residents.
If you are a site manager dealing with low visitor engagement—this project developed AR/VR tools to create engaging experiences. This increases the value of the site for the community and improves the overall user experience. It helps turn a static museum into an active social space.
If you are a developer dealing with strict heritage regulations and climate risks—this project developed a community-led design process. This ensures new developments align with the New European Bauhaus values. It streamlines the path to social acceptance and environmental sustainability.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
The project tests its methods across 3 different urban contexts in Europe, suggesting the tools are designed for scalability across various city sizes and cultural settings.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms for the AR/VR and decision-support tools are not mentioned.
The project aligns with the New European Bauhaus and the European Green Deal goals to ensure environmental and cultural sustainability.
The project runs from 2023-03-01 to 2026-02-28, with results becoming available as deliverables are completed.
The project has a strong commercial lean with 6 industrial partners and 7 SMEs, representing a 40% industry ratio. This mix of 15 partners across 5 countries (BE, EL, ES, IE, IT) suggests that the resulting tools are being built with market viability and practical application in mind, rather than just academic research.
