Belicta Castelbarco / Atmo Magazine / “Stoppt die Abrissbagger!” “Stop the demolition excavators!”

Belicta Castelbarco’s role in this assignment is to translate the complex themes of urban preservation and “gray energy” into a compelling visual experience. Her illustrations support a narrative that advocates for a radical shift in perspective—moving away from the “practical and efficient” allure of new builds toward the preservation of existing structures for the sake of the climate and the community.
