Our urban landscapes are filled with "leftovers" — abandoned buildings and unused spaces, remnants of industrial decline and societal transformations. Regeneration of Abandoned Spaces: A New Design Approach investigates how design and architecture can revitalize these neglected areas, transforming them into dynamic, livable environments.This book is organized into three parts, each providing a comprehensive framework for addressing this multifaceted challenge. Part One explores the dynamic nature of modern living spaces and how interior design can adapt to the fluid lifestyles of contemporary nomads. It delves into advanced drawing techniques that capture the intricate complexities of these evolving environments.Part Two focuses on the philosophical aspects of design, particularly within exhibition design, examining how unfinished spaces can evoke deep emotional responses. It explores the role of temporary installations in revitalizing urban areas, demonstrating how ephemeral interventions can catalyze long-term renewal.The final section, Part Three, addresses the concept of ""unfinished design"" in architecture, showcasing successful projects from around the world. It emphasizes the aesthetic and functional benefits of embracing imperfections and repurposing abandoned spaces. This part provides practical strategies and inspiring examples, illustrating how adaptive reuse and incompleteness can lead to sustainable and inclusive urban regeneration.Regeneration of Abandoned Spaces: A New Design Approach is an essential resource for professionals, urban planners, and anyone passionate about urban architecture and renewal.

    Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City

    Saigon is the city known for the unexplainable languidness that possessed the “French and American” Europeans that lived in Vietnam. At night, in front of a drink, the memories of flowery young girls in their traditional costumes surrounded by the thick smells of the ngoc man, the feverish sounds of the city's motion piercing through the humid heat of the Asian nights hauntingly reappear. A city of contrasts, Saigon has lived through dramatic changes: the turbulence of the South for which it was renowned was replaced by the terrible coldness of the North and the joyfulness of the city was imposed a rigid doctrine. Saigon became Ho Chi Minh and a new city was created. But although appearances may change, people remain the same. So what came of these changes? A few red flags… and a number of Japanese motorbikes.

    A CLOCKWORK ORANGE 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICK 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's novel. Set in a near-future society, it follows Alex DeLarge, a sadistic delinquent who leads a gang of criminals. The film explores themes of violence, free will, and social control, as Alex and his gang engage in brutal acts of "ultraviolence." After being caught, Alex undergoes an experimental treatment to "rehabilitate" him, stripping away his ability to choose between good and evil. Kubrick uses stark visuals, classical music, and dark humor to critique authoritarianism, behavioral conditioning, and the loss of individuality. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Malcolm McDowell's eyes were anesthetized for the torture scenes so that he could film for extended periods without excessive discomfort. Despite this, his corneas were repeatedly scratched by the metal lid locks.” 
  
“Stanley Kubrick's first cut of the film, before editing by several assistants, was nearly four hours long.” 
  
“The doctor overseeing Alex during the violent film scenes was a real doctor, ensuring that Malcolm McDowell’s eyes did not dry out during filming.” 
  
“The sped-up sex scene in the movie was originally filmed as a continuous take that lasted 28 minutes. This was revealed by Malcolm McDowell on the 2007 DVD commentary track.” 
  
“Stanley Kubrick had his assistant destroy all unused footage after shooting wrapped on the film.”

THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHAD STAHELSKI 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
John Wick is a 2014 neo-noir action thriller about a retired hitman seeking vengeance. After the brutal murder of his beloved dog, a final gift from his late wife, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns to the violent criminal underworld he had once left behind. Fueled by grief and rage, he hunts down those responsible for the crime. The film blends intense action sequences, stylized combat, and a deeply atmospheric world filled with shadowy assassins, crime syndicates, and mysterious codes of honor. It explores themes of loss, revenge, and the inescapable pull of one’s past. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film.” 
  
“Keanu Reeves learned and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed.” 
  
“Director Chad Stahelski was Keanu Reeves' stunt double in The Matrix movies.” 
  
“When John Wick wakes up to the Russians in his home, it mirrors an incident in 2014 where Keanu Reeves woke up to a stalker in his house. He calmly spoke to the stalker before calling the police, and the stalker was arrested.”
