ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. The book draws remarks on how the aesthetics of the ruin produces its own politics. There are three structural characteristics, which make the concerns of this urban regime of design practices tangible and create the social, cultural, and political boundaries to others in the present and potentially in future concerns about urban design: the temporal culture of the 're'; performing aesthetics from the past; and the visibility of interdisciplinary expertise. In Urban ruin epistemological conception, the notion of the 're' proposes the assurance of urban aesthetic and cultural value making. The book gives the three key fetish concerns about the aesthetics of ruined material culture in architecture, art, and cultural industries legitimize. By focusing on the 'expertise' rather than on the expert status qua profession, this interdisciplinary expert knowledge on the memory of urban ruins becomes visible.
