André Corboz conceptualizes cities as palimpsests, where past layers are continuously rewritten without complete erasure. This perspective emphasizes the dynamic nature of urban environments, illustrating how historical, functional, and symbolic elements coalesce. Consequently, restoration or rehabilitation projects for historic buildings become complex endeavors. Practitioners must decide between ensuring full coherence with the original design or allowing new expressions to signify contemporary architectural ideologies. This nuance highlights the broader challenge of preserving heritage while accommodating the natural evolution of urban landscapes.
