Recovery of Iconic Places The Importance of Placemaking in Town Planning
A response to the crisis of civic architecture in thepostwar period, the placemaking aims at reconciling man with hiscommunity and his city. Nowadays, creating such places is stillneeded to support formation of the modern civil society.To understand the process of designing unique places, it isparticularly useful analyze some of the successful placemakingprojects which do adapt former industrial sites to a new culturalfunction and which can sometimes be referred to as recovering oficonic places, giving a new life to the historically important places.This is, for example, the case of placing the European SolidarityCentre on the grounds of the famous Gdańsk Shipyard or reusing avast area of a former coal mine to raise a modern cultural district inthe city of Katowice. To create these unique places, as the analysisproves, the architects have taken into account the indicationsoriginating from the site analysis and have incorporated them intothe design, balancing them with contemporary architectural andtechnological solutions. Derived from the character of theirparticular locations, the unique places are not only public spaces, butcan sometimes become icons for the local society.
