Due to the growing stock of buildings, some of them needed to be

expanded, transformed and completed. The modernization of post-industrial

buildings in urban centers was the first important step in theory and practice in
the processing of non-typical, historical, architectural textures. These buildings,
which have been transformed into penthouses, shopping areas and galleries
where both historical technological devices and systems are exhibited, are an
important step in the theory and practice of the modernization of buildings and
the gentrification of the districts. Today it is difficult to determine, by how much
the coincidence in terms of dates explains the mutual inspirations between
industrial architecture conversions and the High-Tech movement which has
been growing since the 1960s. Conversions following changing needs and
creation of additional floorspace were also necessary in buildings such as town
houses, palaces, churches, historic municipal and military buildings. They
occupied plots within dense city centres and were enlarged in many ways.
Freedom to shape architecture remains with the way it is used. The
transformations, adaptations, temporariness result from the increasing effect of
daily mobility. Purchases in "pop-up" stores: temporary, operating outside of
leased areas, advertising on the internet and attracting customers through this
channel, collaborative offices based on the turnover of "employees", each of
whom are self-employed in their profession, have become the mark of the times.
Recent social problems in Europe have given new meaning to such interventions.
The movement is developing in favor of taking back places for the minimum
standard of living spaces for the homeless, immigrants and fugitives. Young
generation architects and artists put forward suggestions of different locations
and develop suitable projects. They follow citizen-led initiatives and temporary
projects in hopes of making their lives better. In some cases, such ideas are
clarified and implemented; if they are not approved they remain illegal
construction works. Manifestations aim to realize the problem of homelessness.
Parasitic bindings use construction, media, and communication fields from their
main structures. The acceptance and appeal of this trend is confirmed by
examples of temporary and private structures built in locations that offer
unforgettable views and experiences.They occur in the major cities of modern
Europe.
