Oltre l'apartheid. Rimarginare le cicatrici di una città ferita

Apartheid, literally "separation", "partition" was the policy of racial segregation established after World War II by the white ethnic government of South Africa. The city, in an attempt to be distilled through an image, has often been compared to a living organism, with its heart, lungs, skeleton and tissues. In this organic metaphor, South African history has left the scars of ime visible, suggestive and with a great socioeconomic impact on the organism of Cape Town. This paper aims to deepen the relationship between the city, its memory, and its future in a delicate context such as the post-Apartheid, in order to open the debate to how the designer can intervene by repairing the urban fabric, preserving the memory and celebrating it through a project intervention that gives back to the community not only a physical asset, but also the opportunity to rebuild a fragmented community.
