Adaptation of Architectural Heritage in the Era of Climate Change. Torpedo Platform in Babie Doły

Abstract

The paper provides original insight into the problem of adap¬tation of historical objects in the era of climate change. It conveys a message that in times of climate crisis, there is a need to go beyond an anthropocentric perspective, specifically, that architec¬ture should not only be designed for people, but should also provide a framework for nature. As well as shaping spaces for human beings, the architect is also responsible for creating conditions for ecosys¬tem recovery and species protection. To illustrate this problem and as a critical reflection, the stunning example of the architecture of destruction was chosen – that is, the torpedo platform in Babie Doły built during WWII on the waters of Gdańsk Bay. The present¬ed project is a discussion on how to change this place of destruction into a place of both social and ecological regeneration, a laboratory that demonstrates, from a broader perspective, the opportunity of renaturalisation of urban areas through architecture.
