BAR – Beynd Adaptive Reuse. An ode on the theme of three [Interior Architecture Design Studio; Proff. Gennaro Postiglione, Matteo Clementi, Stamatina Kousidi, A.A. 2025-26].

The primary objective of this Interior Architecture Studio is to illuminate two pivotal insights into the complex, and often contradictory, nature of architectural design through experimentation with transformative building projects. The aim is to demonstrate, by means of design, that achieving typological clarity extends beyond simply meeting functional demands; it posits that this clarity is essential to architectural excellence and serves as a foundation for flexibility in future transformations. In other words, achieving high typological quality involves not only adapting structures to present needs but also fostering a design approach that anticipates and accommodates evolving functions and uses. These seemingly contradictory imperatives are central to our endeavour to enhance building quality, demanding a nuanced understanding of when and how architectural knowledge should be applied to cultivate appropriateness and excellence. Ultimately, this paradigm shift is crucial for fostering a built environment that aligns with the diverse needs and aspirations of contemporary society.
