Andrea Destefanis, Founder and Principal Architect of Kokaistudios, attended the upcoming "Heritage Reimagined Symposium" and participated in panel talk scheduled for October 23rd at Tongji University. This event, co-organized by Brunello Cucinelli, Shanghai Services Federation, and Tongji University’s College of Architecture and Urban Planning, offers a unique platform to explore methods to revitalize historical heritage in contemporary urban life.
The symposium draws inspiration from Brunello Cucinelli’s inaugural exhibition in Shanghai, held at Zhangyuan, showcasing Italian craftsmanship and culture. It aims to foster a deeper dialogue between Italy’s heritage protection practices and Shanghai’s rich cultural history. Andrea Destefanis, renowned for his expertise in urban regeneration and heritage preservation, will join experts from both academia and industry to discuss how to integrate historical elements into contemporary urban life.
