This study explores the complex interplay between time and space in the context of post-disaster reconstruction and introduces a novel perspective that transcends the traditional static conceptions associated with architecture and urban planning. Through a multiscale analysis integrating temporal dimensions (memory, observation, and projection) with spatial scales ranging from individual
buildings to the broader urban fabric, results show that
reconstruction is not merely a physical rebuilding process
but also an act of resignifying and reinterpreting time and
space. The concept of “zero time” is introduced as a moment of stasis preceding reconstruction, while “movement” is analyzed as a metaphor for the journey toward a renewed spatial and social harmony. This article highlights the mutual influence between reconstruction practices and individuals’ temporal and spatial perceptions and suggests planning approaches that value temporality and spatial flexibility. Contributing to the urban resilience debate, this research provides insights for sustainable, inclusive, and community-rooted post-disaster reconstruction approaches. Temporal and spatial dynamics in post-disaster reconstruction: a reflection on multiscale interactions.
