Abstract
This paper aims to investigate Media Architecture and its potentials for culturally based revitalization. Media Architecture presents a new approach based on Augmentation concepts, in which projects are designed and implemented adopting contemporary mediums in an aesthetic way in order to attract the presence of a more cultural audience and increase the participation of the local residents. Ultimately this will lead to an increase of interaction between different classes in neglected areas and strengthen their connection to their built environment. This is an interdisciplinary approach in which architecture and contemporary mediums are combined aesthetically with the aim of creating revival solutions in neglected areas.
