Cities are not static. They are subject to processes of change that affect the way in which they function, their appearance and their conception of themselves. Unlike obvious disruptions in development, processes of transformation often occur by stealth , unnoticed by most people. A new awareness and new identities are not forged under the impact of events themselves; rather, a sensibility for the new outline conditions must be created first. How does architecture respond to such processes of transformation? Can it help to make the transformation a more cognitive event? And what landmarks does architecture create in this process?
