What this experience is really about
Architecture, Streets and Urban Memory
This is architecture at street level, without requiring specialist knowledge. Facades, courtyards, arcades, materials and street proportions become clues to how people lived and how the city changed.
The route balances landmark structures with ordinary buildings. Old and contemporary layers are compared so preservation is discussed as a living urban question, not nostalgia alone.
