          Cinematic Narratives for Postindustrial Landscapes

        Abstract
        This contribution discusses narrative and scenography as vital instruments for the redefinition of post-industrial urban landscapes. It offers tools for the re-engagement of architecture, with leitmotivs as incubators for urban renewal. The article presents a theoretical project in ‘the Zone’ of Plagwitz, an abandoned industrial landscape in Leipzig, using narrative as a method for reprogramming. Motives from the movie Stalker (A. Tarkowsky, 1978/79) were taken as incentives for conceptual and spatial transformations in the Zone. These ‘transfers‘ act as leitmotivs to bring back identification and living space, enabling citizens to reconnect and reclaim this part of the city. Here narrative is not used to refill the holes of the past, but to illuminate their qualities as free space, unprogrammed voids in the city, ready for the citizen to be explored.

      What does the author’s ‘owning’ of a project mean? And does this sense of ownership still prevail in contemporary architecture culture? Other more open forms of cooperation and co-creation are emerging alongside the concept of individual singular authorship.

      Through a series of concrete projects, the contributions in this issue explore the field of tension between architectural aesthetics and issues of energy, technology and materiality. Ecological practices in architecture must not only be effective in providing solutions, but inevitably raise questions of beauty, affection and perception as well.
