Head to Bowerstone Old Town. As soon as you reach Old Town, your dog takes off running toward a dig site. Follow the dog to the dig site and dig up the Ancient Scroll. You do not need to purchase Brightwood Tower in order to access it. Clicking move in will only set the house as a livable house.
As in, not for rent. To set it as your marital home, use the follow expression on your spouse and lead them to the new property. In order to reach this location, run to the fortress in Mourningwood and leave it through the gate through which the Hollow Men came. This way you will reach a cemetery [1]. Even the least impressive baroque or Renaissance-era houses should be preserved using as much original substance as possible.
The vanished landmark could be commemorated with a plaque. Why did the Polish School of Conservation — this exception to the rules of historic preservation — become a model for urban planning? Before looking at the quandaries that come with historical replicas, we should explore where replicas came from and why they have become so attractive.
Parallel to the rise of modernist schools like the Bauhaus in the early 20th century, a vying approach proposed historical-looking new construction as both a reaction to the perceived monotony of modern streetscapes and an alternate means to realise the modern urge to beautify urban space through order.
The underground photographer who chronicled the Warsaw Uprising. Bombed and razed, the organically layered and complex premodern cities were lost forever.
But we could replicate them as stage props and pretend they had not changed. Back in Williamsburg at the conference, American scholars and planners were hungry for the historyness that Lorentz and his colleagues had achieved across Poland.
Just two years before, Jane Jacobs had published The Death and Life of Great American Cities as an excoriation of modernist demolitions and monotony she felt were ravaging bygone forms of human interconnectedness. Palaces, fortresses and factories: 10 abandoned spots to visit in Poland.
Most old towns in Europe had been dark and dank poor districts before the war. Behind seemingly identical gingerbread house rows, lush yard spaces stretched where, before the war, a jumble of back buildings had choked out all the light and air. At first glance, then, a new old town can be far more liveable than the unhygienic original one, while simultaneously allowing residents to escape the monotony of modern boxes.
Small wonder that cities around the world are embracing the Polish model to liven up their boring cores with an aura of historyness. Especially as this trend accelerates, however, we should step back to address three dilemmas about replicas that critics were already debating right after the war.
Such modern manufacturing of history also homogenises how we see the past. More on that in a moment. Whereas preservation retains historical traces, replicas invite historical falsification. Or Paris? Or Cleveland? Replicas pretend that something is still there or has ever been there. They point out that for as long as cities have existed they have been destroyed — and in almost every case they have risen again like the mythical phoenix.
Similarly, I believe Homs can regenerate itself. But there are some important lessons to consider when reweaving its damaged urban fabric. The local communities of Homs should be involved in the rebuilding process to ensure that all members of society are accounted for in the new designs. Regeneration programmes should include a deep and detailed understanding of local priorities and careful consideration for the people affected. This can be achieved by bridging the gaps between local authorities, designers, planners, researchers and — most importantly — the local community.
Local people should be consulted through workshops, conferences and research to record their thoughts and understand their needs. This way, regeneration projects will unite Homsians from all walks of life and give them a voice and a sense of belonging.
In many post-war reconstructions, the urban memory of cities has been replaced with new, forgetful landscapes. After the civil war in Beirut, Lebanon to , the city centre was completely reshaped and replaced with a post-modern construction. In the end, far more buildings were demolished during the reconstruction than had been destroyed during the civil war. Post-disaster reconstruction should not bury the scars of the war by creating a completely new face for the city. Instead, a faithful reconstruction should preserve and respect the pre-war memories, values and traditions of Homs.
