VILLASETA: DA QUARTIERE MODELLO A LUOGO DI MARGINALITÀ E DEGRADO
Un’immagine del quartiere di Villaseta (Agrigento).
Abstract
The paper puts the gaze on neighborhood of public
housing of Villaseta, designed after the famous
landslide of Agrigento in 1966 and intended to
house the inhabitants of the old neighborhood
Rabato-Santa Croce, abandoned after the event
landslide.
The neighborhood of Villaseta, extended 70
hectares, provided for the settlement of about
3000 inhabitants. The design plan proposes a
road network in east-west direction along which
engages the building intended to accommodate
commercial activities, educational equipment,
green areas and parking. The residence is divided
into different building types, served by a network
of pedestrian and vehicular routes. Downstream
of the settlement were provided for various sport
facilities. It is a quality project, but it will be done
very slowly and excerpts.
The current image of the neighborhood of Villaseta,
is very different from that of the original project.
The open spaces are in a degradation regrettable
condition. The sports equipment downstream of
the settlement were incomplete. The houses were
being transformed by the residents that over time
personally modificated with inadequate finishes.

LO SPAZIO COLLETTIVO COME STRUMENTO DI RIGENERAZIONE URBANA: IL CASO
DI MONTICELLI
Monticelli.
Abstract
The theme of regeneration of public and collective
spaces is central in the architectural debate, both
for urban, social and environmental aspects. In the
past the quality of life and perception of safety of
public spaces were marginally investigated, as a
result the popular housing settlements built after
the 2nd World War responded almost exclusively
to the logic of speculation. This high density often
makes it impossible to redefine their structure in a
radical way, therefore the quality of public space
is proposed as an innovative instrument of urban
regeneration.
In this context the DATA department PhD program of
the Sapienza, as part of the 2012 OSDOTTA seminar,
started a research with the aim to investigate the
case study of Monticelli, a ‘70s suburban area of
Ascoli Piceno, as a high environmental quality
example of urban regeneration, in order to provide
a methodological approach to all the stakeholders
involved in the regeneration of residential bio-ecooriented settlements.

COMUNITÀ IBRIDE E TRASFORMAZIONI SPAZIALI: DIVENTARE SEGUGI URBANI CON
CITY-HOUND
CITY-HOUND (www.city-hound.com) social network per la trasformazione temporanea degli spazi urbani sottoutilizzati.
Abstract
This paper examines the potential of the virtual
instrument “social network” as a device for a real
transformation of urban space.
In the first part we will examine the current
conditions of the contemporary city, focusing in
particular on the change of the urban dimension,
built on global systems that however act locally;
between these systems particularly relevant are
social networks and technological networks. To
follow we will describe CITY-HOUND, social network
for the temporary transformation of underused
urban spaces; starting from the resources (human,
financial and spatial) available on the territory
in a specific moment, it is a device functional for
simplifying the processes of re-appropriation of
space. In the end, we will outline the possibilities
offered by the development of hybrid communities,
through which alternative methods of construction
of public spatiality and communities can be tested.

60-70 E IL PROGETTO DEGLI SPAZI PUBBLICI
Corte residenziale interna all’Ilot 8 (isolato 8). 1985 R. Gailhoustet.
Abstract
The city of Saint-Denis founded the public company
Sodédat93 in 1974 to decentralize town planning
responsibilities and give greater importance to
community associations representing areas subject
to future urban development. In 1975, Sodédat93’s
first large urban renewal project, ZAC Basilique,
started near the basilica in the city’s medieval
center. Over nearly twenty years, from 1975 to
1993, Sodédat93 created a new redevelopment
model, acknowledging the city block as the human
dimension of urbanization, and most effectively,
addressing and resolving threshold and in-between
spaces. The overall aim was to create a model of
urban renewal in response to the criticism leveled
at the Habitation à Loyer Modéré (rent-controlled
housing), built after World War II.

LE SUPERQUADRAS DI BRASILIA. REPLICABILITÀ DI UN MODELLO DI RESIDENZA
COLLETTIVA A CINQUANTA ANNI DALLA SUA REALIZZAZIONE
La trasformazione dello spazio aperto di pertinenza delle Superquadras. Fonte: www.crosswalk.com.
Abstract
This paper considers the spatial planning of the
Superquadra of Brasilia. This work was conducted
by The Florence University and The University
of Brasilia, in collaboration with The University
of Santa Catherine. The guidelines of the Pilot
Plan of Brasília intended by Lucio Costa were
considered in this research, such as the study of the
apartments buildings surrounded by green areas
People recognize the Superquadra as true living
space. However, there are still some problems
to be solved, such as the relationship between
different neighborhood units. The vehicular traffic
is an obstacle to the sustainability of the built
environment due to the large number of vehicles
and the associated air pollution, reducing the
walkability and the air quality. Finally this work
highlights the challenge of keeping the guidelines
of the original plan, considered by UNESCO as
World Heritage and supported by the Brazilian
Institute IPHAN, in the way to afford the needs of
transformation and appropriation of public spaces
by its inhabitants.

RIPENSARE IL PROGETTO DEGLI SPAZI APERTI. SOGLIE E GRADIENTI NEGLI SPAZI DI
TRANSIZIONE
Transizioni e soglie nella città pubblica triestina (Villa Carsia).
Abstract
Some results of a recent research of national
interest offer the opportunity to approach the
design of “in between spaces” as fundamental
feature in the regeneration of public housing
settlements.
The term “in between spaces” traditionally refers
to the transition between different dimensions of
neighbourhoods: internal and external, individual
and collective, private and public etc.
Today, such spaces play a key role in the reactivation
of the neighbourhood, both at local scale, focusing
on practises and every-day uses, and at urban
scale, waving links between the target area and a
wider urban context.
The paper speculates about some terms defining
“in between spaces” and some operational tools
identifying their distinctive shape and composition
in relation to other neighbourhood’s features, as
early assumptions for transformation.

Marcella Bellistri
PAESAGGI IN SUPERFICIE
Parco Nou Barris Central, Barcellona.
Abstract
This paper is about a number of contemporary
European urban public projects concerned with
the re-development of city spaces, which can be
seen as examples of renovation of open space in
public housing projects, from the 1960s, 1970s
and 1980s. These projects, within the composition
of public space, have given a new meaning to
the design of “ground surfaces”. Through the
dynamics of patterns and designs, the designers
of these projects attempted to reconfigure parts of
cities, in an endeavor to restore identity and quality
to spaces that are often on the margins of social
life. These designers, facing the problem of how to
interpret and re-develop an urban area, gave the
design of the “ground surface” a new role, in an
effort to restore quality to deprived and abandoned
urban areas, bringing out and developing a new
trend, that links to the history of the city, and which
sees the “surface” in architecture as an important
means of the communication of values and identity.

VI(LL)E RACCONTO DI UNA CITTÀ IN TRASFORMAZIONE
Les Mureaux, Nouvelle vi(ll)e: il progetto dello spazio pubblico nel GPRU della città.
Il polo multifunzionale del futuro parco urbano.
Abstract
The main objective of French urban policy
carried out by the Programme National de
Rénovation Urbaine is to improve the habitat
quality in the grands ensembles, the public housing
districts of the outskirts.
The public space is one of the main features of
these districts, and one of the most affected by the
renewal interventions. The privatist vision offered
by the tool/principle of the résidentialisation
dominates rather than the willing of re-interpreting
the districts and the coherent transformation of
public space.
These policies conflict with the people’s aspirations,
whose ability to understand and intervene in the
definition of their own living space remains mostly
unexpressed.
The interpretation of the social-urban space,
accounting the specificities, the history and the
projectuality implied in these places, can be a
key element for the launch of laboratories for
innovative projects on the public city, having as
main reference the inhabitants and their practiced
concept of living.

IU.R INTERFACCE URBANE RESIDENZIALI PER RIQUALIFICARE GLI SPAZI FRA
PUBBLICO E PRIVATO
Interfaccia Urbana Residenziale: spazi di soglia semi privato-semi pubblico.
Abstract
In the contemporary city, quality of urban space
is a key element in life quality and a driving
force for the competitiveness. The increasing
complexity of relationships and the evolving
needs and use patterns reflect urban complexity
in a corresponding physical space: the urban
interface, an entity that mediates the sociospatial relationships between public and private
sphere and that assumes strategic importance in
redevelopment of suburbs. Research, carried out
on a case “study project”, defines the criteria for
a Residential Urban Interface approach as a tool
for micro-urban redevelopment which merge into
the proposed Project Plan, the meta-project field
aimed at process design, space design and design
of management and use scenario.

MODIFICARE PER ABITARE LO SPAZIO PUBBLICO. PROGETTO DI RIGENERAZIONE
SOSTENIBILE PER IL QUARTIERE GESCAL QUARTO CAGNINO A MILANO
Planimetria del quartiere Gescal Quarto Cagnino (stato di fatto).
Abstract
Sustainable regeneration project of a widespread
public housing’s district built in Milan in the
second mid-20th century (Gescal Quarto Cagnino);
it is part of a research about the development of
sustainable architectural and urban regeneration’s
strategies as an alternative to the radical
demolition and reconstruction of recent areas with
interesting architectural aspects and consolidated
urban identities.
The project wants to critically intervene about
the approaches that prioritize actions oriented to
energy-performance problems’ solving, to promote
an integrated project working on different level
(technological, typological, morphological).
After an analysis of the historical, morphological
and environmental aspects, the projects deals in
various aspects: re-design of housing and fronts;
redevelopment of open spaces and ground level;
setting up of new collective spaces working at
different scales.

SEQUENZE DI SPAZI ABITABILI. NOTE INTORNO AL RUOLO DEGLI SPAZI APERTI
NELLA CITTÀ PUBBLICA
Sequenze. Dall’alto: Quartiere Ina Casa Feltre, S.Ambrogio I, Gratosoglio, Bovisasca-Cercovo.
Abstract
One of the main features of Milanese public city is
the presence of open spaces. Different from case
to case, they play diverse roles within the public
housing complexes: sort of background, possible
integration, distances to be bridged, to mention
some. However, in order to understand potential to
be enhanced in regeneration projects and policies
or to understand their meaning to replicate the
best examples elsewhere, these spaces must be
observed within the dimension of experience of
inhabiting. The idea of home is given by manifold
spaces: neighbourhood, street, courtyard, stairs and
apartment, up to the view from home. From this
perspective, the open space, in its various forms,
is a piece of wider sequences of liveable places,
which composes the daily experience of living. The
essay observes four Milanese cases, built between
the sixties and the eighties (Feltre, S. Ambrogio,
Gratosoglio, Bovisasca-Cerkovo) enlightening
some possible implications of this way of looking
at the open spaces.

IL QUARTIERE COME PARTE URBANA FORMALMENTE COMPIUTA
Il progetto del PRU di Poggioreale.
Abstract
The essay describes the results of a scientific
agreement between the IACP of Naples (Institute
for Council Houses) and the Department of
Architecture – University of Naples Federico II
and also a case-study of urban renewal of an 80s
district.
The methodological research approach is in
the assumption of the districts of the twentieth
century first half - for their location, shape and
characteristics - as urban parts formally defined
and references for a restructuring of the urban
peripheries, avoiding both a banal densification
similar to the ‘centre’ and a further dispersion
typical of the contemporary widespread periphery.
The thesis is also that the lesson of these
districts could be a reference for those newer
neighbourhoods that, expanding themselves in size
and population, can’t represent autonomous parts
and can’t be able to establish clear relationships
between built and open spaces or identify subparts
morphologically defined.

GIUSEPPE VACCARO – TEMI DI SPAZIO PUBBLICO
Borgo Panigale: la prospettiva dai portici.
Abstract
This essay regards the activity on collective
housing that Giuseppe Vaccaro has engaged from
the fifties to the early sixties of the last century.
It is considered that the study of open spaces
designed by this architect it is a useful example to
set strategies for regeneration of the public areas
built in PEEP settlements.
Vaccaro has directed the design of four public
neightborhoods (Galleana in Piacenza, Borgo
Panigale and Barca in Bologna, Ponte Mammolo
south area in Roma) in which it’s possible to
recognize interesting solutions about the spatial
structure. This define several topics in accordance
with the urban context:
- The open space that concerns every gradation
of use of the relational spaces, trying to meet
the different requests of privacy and sharing of
inhabitants;
- The formal research on the built objects, usually
aimed to increase the synergy among housing
supply and fruition of open space.

LE MIRAIL, OPERA APERTA
Rapporto spaziale tra la città di Toulouse e la città nuova.
Abstract
In the fifties, the city of Toulouse is confronted with
strong population growth, in response to which
the municipality identifies a Zone à Urbaniser en
Priorité that, in 1961, is the subject of national
competition of urban planning for the construction
of a new city. In 1962, the project by George
Candilis, Alexis Josic and Shadrach Woods won an
award.
From the eighties, Le Mirail - a complex city
machine built in the centrality of the district, with its
hierarchy of living spaces and continuation of built
up areas - will be affected by innovative programs
in architectural and urban redevelopment.
The project involves the urban and architectural
structure of the city, advancing radical choices
around the issues of conservation and recovery of
Modern Architecture. The project investigates the
expressive possibilities of ‘residenzialization’ as an
intervention generating new spaces between the
public and private sectors.

SCENARI PER I BENI COMUNI
Workshop Mapping San Siro. Una immagine del lavoro svolto con gli attori locali a partire dalla costruzione di rappresentazioni
condivise.
Abstract
The public housing neighborhood knows as
San Siro (in Milan) is a context characterized by
strong socio-spatial inequalities and interculturalintergenerational conflicts, as well as by the
presence of a rich array of community groups, nongovernmental organisations and institutions that
work toward the amelioration of living conditions
in the area.
The paper explores the potential role of the
courtyards in San Siro, as a common ground to
construct a different sense of community.
Now, this type of local space is full of both conflicts
and coexistence practices. The paper proposes
four lenses in order to interpret this situation: the
features of the space, the formal and informal rules
of living together, the practices of inhabitants,
the transformations –material and immaterialpromoted by different projects.
The last part of the paper designs a future scenario
for the commons in San Siro starting by the
courtyards.

Collectif Etc.
AZIONI URBANE PER RIPENSARE LA DEMOCRAZIA
Workshop aperto. St-Étienne, 2011.
Abstract
The usual way of the fabric of the city is primarily
the result of interaction between the politicians
and the experts. Citizens seem mostly excluded
from project process. At best, they stand at few
specific moments as the preliminary consultations
and public inquiries, and are leads by strong
procedures controlling their engagement.
Here we propose to see how the actions of a
group of experts, the Collective Etc., which ask
the question of a repositioning of the roles these
three entities – citizens, urban expert and politician
– by implementing open and inclusive public
spaces. The two cases proposed of open projects
are significantly different and they will illuminate
empirically the issue of a re-placing each of theses
three entities: people-citizens, experts, politicians.

OCCUPANCY. UN’OSSERVAZIONE SUL COMPLESSO DEI ROBIN HOOD
GARDENS (ALISON E PETER SMITHSON, LONDRA 1972)
Vista dall’alto da Nord, con le darsene e il fiume, Architectural Design, 9 / 72.
Abstract
The social housing complex of the Robin Hood
Gardens, designed by Alison and Peter Smithson
during the ’60s, later realised in 1972 in London,
represented an important contribute to the
architectural culture through the actualization
of social and urban ideologies and the
experimentation of new models of habitation. This
paper aims at investigating the ideas behind the
project, in particular those regarding the common
spaces, and at the same time it looks at the actual
life condition in relation to the new cultures of
immigration, till the up-dated debate regarding
the process of its replacement with a very intensive
project. The RHG represent today a very interesting
case-study at the international level on the topic
of the transformation of social housing of the
‘60s and ‘70s; the debate on its preservation or
demolition divided scholars and citizens, leaving
open the issue of the answer to the complex
urban dynamics of transformation within the
contemporary multicultural metropolis.

Luciano Cupelloni
CENTRO CULTURALE ELSA MORANTE, “LAURENTINO 38”, ROMA
Il primo padiglione dell’emeroteca tra “boschetto” e “bolle verdi”.
Abstract
The project is part of the overall redevelopment
plan of “Laurentino 38”, based on the redesign of
the ring road and the construction of a new social
center.
The project implements the transformation of
a suburban parking of more than two ha into a
cultural center and a public garden. The series of
buildings, the alternation of fullness and emptiness,
and the continuity from interior to exterior creates
a new place for the inhabitants.
The design operates through horizontal planes: the
zero level - the garden for pedestrian use - and the
second level on slender steel columns, just below
the foliage of the pines, lapped by “green bubbles”.
Between these two floors the new spaces: a
newspaper library, a mediatheque, a theatre and,
on the opposite side, a 350-seat arena. The project
proposes a series of “piazza”, each marked by
large steel pylon carrying the photovoltaic plants
- “light cubes” as urban signals.

LO SPAZIO PUBBLICO NEI QUARTIERI DI ERP DELLA CITTÀ DI AVELLINO
I quartieri Iacp della città di Avellino. Il perimetro bianco individua il quartiere San Tommaso.
Abstract
Since the second post-war period, the construction
of public housing districts has played a key role in
the formation of the city of Avellino.
The settlement structure of these neighborhoods,
characterized by the dissolution of the traditional
block has given rise to more open urban tissue
and dilated open spaces which have different
features today: this relationship is determined by
the different project-based mechanisms adopted ground attack of the buildings, the permeability of
the edges, the shape and size of relation spaces
- in order to reconcile the need for privacy of their
own domestic sphere and the need to participate
actively in public life.
The paper proposes a survey on the conditions of
the public space of some of these neighborhoods

ABITARE LA CITTÀ - DALLO SGUARDO AL PROGETTO. STRATEGIE DI RIGENERAZIONE
URBANA
Spazi residuali trasformati in luoghi di aggregazione sociale.
Abstract
In the contemporary city there seem to be two kinds
of cities: the ‘designed’ city and the ‘spontaneous’
city. The current state of public heritage, is
the temporal stratification of the two entities,
sedimentation site uses and spontaneous practices
implemented from who lives the city. Unresolved
in the margins of the public city are inserted,
in fact, spontaneous acts of self-construction,
self-management, appropriation of places.
Through these actions is reusing hybrid spaces
delineating a limit between public and private
sectors. Addition to the analysis of the dynamics
of development of the ATER neighborhoods, the
paper examines the spontaneous practices of reuse
and appropriation, denouncing, therefore, the
need of people to become the protagonists of the
urban transformations and to return to a collective
dimension of living. Reuse, self-construction, selfmanagement becomes, then, the new instruments
of urban and social regeneration.

LO SPAZIO APERTO NELLA BANLIEUE FRANCESE TRA BISOGNO E ASPIRAZIONE
Fotogramma del film “Banlieue 13 - Ultimatum” diretto da Patrick Alessandrin, Francia 2009.
Abstract
The paper proposes an analysis about the French
banlieues’ topic observed in their status from the
urban, spatial and sociological point of view. They
are realized as aggregation place for a population
heterogeneous but close in the factory working people from the rural areas, returnees from Algeria
after the war and immigrants from several parts of
the country. As the years go they preserve only one
bond between the people in the exclusion feeling;
social and spatial structures are inadequate in
changing conditions and, when the metropolis
extends and develops without the ancient and the
modern city rules, these areas are wrapped in the
urban tissue and are felt such as social isolation
place, such as prisons – galère – especially by the
youngest people. In a perspective that considers
the regeneration of public space as a tool for urban
and territorial design, this paper wants to observe
the fundamental role of the community places may
have in the reappropriation of urban areas and in
the formation of a new civic feeling.

DENSIFICARE LA CITTÀ PUBBLICA
Il piano di Zona Tiburtino III a Roma.
Abstract
A recent survey done by ISPRA estimated that the
use of land in Italy has grown in the last 5 years, at
the rate of more than 8 square meters per second,
equal to 6.9% of the national territory and every
five months is a cemented surface equal to that
of the city of Naples. It is clear that sprawl that
has marked the expansion of large cities must
necessarily give way to a more appropriate use of
the territory that will be meant as a milieu within
which to find resources related to transformation.
The densification is looming to be the new paradigm
of transformation more attentive to the social and
built heritage. Intervening on the marginal areas
degraded we can achieve the dual objective of
improving the conditions of inadequacy and
propose technological and functional operations
that make these suburbs more compact and vital,
trying to respond to the new house and the demand
for emergency services in the neighborhoods built
with the law 167 of 1962.

PER UNA SEMIOTICA DEL DEGRADO. GLI SPAZI PUBBLICI DI PIETRALATA
Largo di Pietralata.
Abstract
Our case study is Via di Pietralata, which is
particularly interesting because it presents a
considerable variability in the landscape due
among other things to the presence of space –
more or less green – residual, interstitial, not
intended, to continue with the profiles of junkyards,
former industrial buildings that line it, sometimes
contiguous to council housing.
The object is significant to analyze the complex
relationship between nature and culture and to
reflect on public spaces and semiotic landscapes.
Our focus will be on Largo di Pietralata and on the
subway station of Pietralata.
We will reflect on the meaning of degrade, on
new centralities, on the relationship between
consumption and public spaces and between
practices, project and institutions.
We will also consider the Pasolini’s concept of
the form of the city as a key to look at places of
abandonment.

SPAZI DI PROSSIMITÀ E CARATTERI DEL PAESAGGIO URBANO.
UN’INDAGINE SU GINEVRA
Ginevra, mappa dei casi-studio.
Abstract
This reflection tries to re-think the notion of
proximity considering, on one side, the practice
of dwelling as something that goes beyond the
dimension of the house and expanded to the scale
of “part of a town”; on the other, observing the
obscillation of the dimensions of public/intimate
in the inhabiting spaces; reconsidering, in the end,
the category of routine. This attempt is carried out
through a sampling process in Geneva (different
squares of 1 km side identified in the city fabric),
trying to define general theorical themes about
proximity spaces comfort-qualities and design
themes. The hypothesis is that a new attitude
toward the design of proximity spaces can avoid
the construction of “modern places of poverty”.

MICRO UTOPIAS. CONNETTERE E CO-CREARE SERVIZI IMPREVEDIBILI
Micro Utopias - Sistema.
Abstract
What can design do to trigger and support grassroots social innovations? After noticing the growing
trend to solve what is lacking in society yourself,
rather than relying on official channels such as
local governments or institutions, I designed Micro
Utopias, a user-driven model for a new social idyll.
It is both a physical space and a digital platform.
The idea is that members of a community can
use both areas to collaborate and offer new and
unusual services, filling a local void. Any external
partner, such as a second-hand shop, school, or bar,
can adopt the model and offer the use of materials
and venues.
In this way, supply meets need in a spontaneous
way,encouraging the use of common goods and
stimulating reciprocity as an alternative currency.
Micro means small scale and local based, but with
a higher degree of connectivity, if it is the node of
a network and open to the interactions with wider
flows of people and ideas; Utopia, the ideal system
for life.

RIGENERAZIONE DEGLI SPAZI PERIFERICI: AGRIVILLAGGIO E COHOUSING
La sostenibilità dell’agrivillaggio - tratta da Giovanni Leoni, L’agrivillaggio.
Abstract
The social housing and the lack of attention to
the open spaces have led contemporary man to
the alienation from the society. Furthermore the
inflexible real estate market is not able to satisfy
the current needs of housing due to the actual
crisis that embraces the entire economic, political
and social scene of the country.
We want focus our attention on the rural
abandoned buildings. Their regeneration have
to cover physical-spatial, social-behavioral and
environmental characters which are solved
with their reconversion in agrivillages, by the
introduction of the co-housing and the use of
innovative technologies.
The “agrivillage”1 is a new type of agricultural
quarter based on the sustainability, the energy and
food self-sufficiency and a distance of bicycle from
the center.
The “cohousing”, a new residential system, is
the answer to the increasing desire to live in
community since it invites socialization without
renouncing private space.

LUOGHI DA RIPENSARE E VUOTI DA RIEMPIRE. LO SPAZIO URBANO DEL “QUARTIERE
ZEVI” A SALERNO
Veduta del Quartiere INA CASA Pastena di Bruno Zevi, Salerno.
Abstract
The INA-CASA Pastena neiborhood in Salerno, well
known as “Quartiere Zevi”, from the name of his
famous designer, was built between 1959 and
1961 to address the housing crisis of 1954 caused
by a flood. Zevi’s plan is an emblematic episode in
public housing construction. A very complex urban
and architectural design, centered on a large central
open space. But despite the good intentions, over
the years, the large enclosed space of the plaza,
central core of the Zevi District, has been gradually
turning into a huge void lacking in quality and
livability. The space, devoid of its intrinsic character,
has assumed different connotations always arising
from the different functions that, in turn, were
placed. The work provides a detailed overview of
the current status focusing in particular on open
spaces. In light of the original design and through
a critical reading of the current situation, we want
to try also to suggest possible lines of intervention
and methodological proposals for the regeneration
of these open space, which have become empty,
not only in a physical way.

SPAZI APERTI E BENI COMUNI: PAESAGGI DEL COINVOLGIMENTO E DELLA
RIAPPROPRIAZIONE NELLA CITTÀ DEL NORD-EST ITALIANO. IL CASO DEL PEEP DI
CHIRIGNAGO A VENEZIA
Campionatura 1,5x1,5km PEEP Circus di Chirignago Venezia.
Abstract
The following paper aims to question how to
reactivate urban development and “public city”
transformation, that have been stopped by several
different factors such as different political agendas
and economical crisis, starting from the assumption
that the “material precipitation” of that stand-by
condition on the territory takes shape in urban
voids, not-supplied services, interrupted social
cohesion processes. The hypothesis is that those
same processes could be re-activated following
other trajectories, that are different from the
starting ones and that value what is already
existing, the social and physical “inhabited” urban
space, in order for them to be less expensive
and more inclusive in participation to change.
The following contribution will focus on a case
study about social housing (PEEP) in Venice,more
precisely in Chirignago, specifically on strategies
for its regeneration through open public spaces,
in particular Vittorino da Feltre square, considering
everyday life space as a urban landscape made up
of spaces that are “in common”.

VISSUTO. LETTURA DELLE PRATICHE DI APPROPRIAZIONE NEL QUARTIERE SANT’ELIA
A CAGLIARI
Vista del quartiere Sant’Elia a Cagliari.
Abstract
The megastructures for public housing designed
in the 1960s and 1970s are urban utopias not
completed because they were built without
the public services that would have created a
high quality of life. As a consequence of the
“unfinished” and the architectural language, they
have undergone a gradual transformation from
“conceived space” to “living space” thanks to the
inhabitants that aim at carry out their needs and
desires. The research starts by the assumption that
from the encounter between the original design
proposal and the “practices of appropriation”
can derive inputs for a redevelopment. This paper
proposes an analysis method, applied to the
Sant’Elia housing estate of Cagliari, that considers
“appropriation” in two meanings: the physical
appropriation and the relationship that inhabitants
have established with their life space. The paper
shows some results obtained by observing the
environment at the scale of the neighborhood and
its public spaces.

Abstract
If “regeneration” can be described at large as a set
of policies and projects aimed at improving physical
and social conditions of an urban sector, then the
“quality” of such interventions can be evaluated
in terms of spatial and relational impacts. Indeed,
given that proximity cannot be considered a “tool”
to wave social relationships, experiences and
literature recognize the importance of a tangible,
daily “neighbourhood-size” approach in reuse
strategies, especially in critical or deprived contexts.
In this framework, the importance of reorganizing
public facilities and re-designing the connective
open spaces is to be taken in consideration,
so to improve social conditions though spatial
improvement.
The paper briefly introduces some proposals of
urban regeneration for public neighbourhoods in
Viladecans, close to Barcelona (Spain), promoted
through the regional funds managed by the “Ley de
Barrios” (L 2/2004 of the Catalan Region), aiming
at the “improvement of neighbourhoods, urban
areas and buildings requiring special attention”.

Abstract
As material for landscape design water is an
important element in regenerating degraded
landscapes like those of many suburban areas.
Waste places like former industrial areas, former
landfills, and many suburban residential sites but
also areas with a high social, environmental, and
economic potential. Sites that in the last decade
have turned into projects with an ever increasing
focus on water and water management as
opportunity and instrument of the requalification
of open spaces. The extraordinary qualities of water
in its various aesthetic, recreational, sustainable
and functional uses and as an interactive element
capable of giving new quality and identity to the
sites make of water - beyond its uses as a material
- a symbol of cultural and social identity of entire
communities. This is the case of two Scandinavian
examples: The neighborhood of Augustenborg in
the town of Malmoe in Sweden and the climate
change adaption project of the city of Kokkedal in
Denmark.

DUE REALTÀ A COLONIA
Localizzazione dei due casi studio.
Abstract
Here it’s proposed the analisys of 2 neighborhoods
in the suburbs of Cologne, as positive examples of
formal approach to the residential design , in the
60s of the 20th century.
- Neue-Stadt, 1961-64, Köln-ChorweilerSeeberg;
- Grünzug-Süd (Citadelle), 1962-65, KölnZollstock;
These 2 interventions are part of the vast panorama
of the works of reconstruction and renewed
momentum for the popular residential building, in
the 2nd post-war period.
The architect Oswald Mathias Ungers (Kaisersesch,
1926; Cologne 2007), that in these years is
especially active in Cologne, presents his own
projects for these areas, which will determine the
formal and ideal outcome of those places.
Both deal with the theme of the neighborhood as
urban project which therefore belongs to a macrocity that contains them and the dynamics of which
are reflected in them. Conversely, the theme of the
house with their relationships and compositional
distribution is projected and extended to the urban
scale.”

Il quartiere ‘Montebello Sud’ fa parte di un più ampio comparto chiamato ‘mariano’ nel progetto preliminare di opera pubblica dei
PEEP.
Abstract
In the investigation about the identity values of
the PEEP districts, the diachronic readings suitable
to be developed are numerous. Retrieving the first
experiences of the ‘Parmarchiviterritoriali’ - a portal
of digital archival collection and survey constructed
between the City Council and the University of
Parma - we want to suggest a common field
of reflection about the possibility of activating
processes of urban regeneration of the PEEP
neighborhoods with a thoroughly conservative
attention.
The aim is to define an evaluation grid of everyday
ordinary landscapes and open spaces present in
the PEEP neighborhoods making a selection of the
most appropriate ways of redevelopment of these
spaces which, when analyzed as an expression of
the Modern city, can take on the value of a new
heritage, on which it becomes possible to formulate
new hypotheses of formal protection.

IL MAUERPARK A BERLINO. LA RICONQUISTA COLLETTIVA DI UN’AREA VERDE
ALL’OMBRA DEL MURO
Uno scorcio del parco a ridosso dell’Hinterlandmauer.
Abstract
This paper is focused on the new life of a no man’s
land in Berlin which now is a urban space called
Mauerpark. During the 60’s-90’s Berlin was full of
no man’s land across The Wall and both the West
and the East sought to articulate ideologies and
values in built form. Berlin became a symbol for the
divided metropolis but really It was double.
After the 1989 the city changed again its essence
with a urban regeneration: Mauerpark represents
one of these several projects of urban renewal
which used urban spaces to increase networking
and to create a new identity post-reunification.

CURA E RIAPPROPRIAZIONE NEI QUARTIERI DELLA CITTÀ PUBBLICA A PALERMO
Palermo, quartieri della “città pubblica”: frammentazioni, separazioni, adattamenti, appropriazioni degli spazi comuni.
Abstract
The paper addresses the issue of “urban commons”
as practices that increase the sense of community
of neighborhoods and cities and that steer the
project in a framework in which the disciplinary
paradigms have deeply changed. Alternative ways
of modifying spaces oriented to new lifestyles and
use of resources, practices shared use of common
areas seem to feed a form of “local resilience”
able to resist in a flexible way to the drastic
reduction of public welfare in the periphery in
which the collective space is offered as possible
and innovative tool for regeneration. Starting from
the observation of international experiences, as
well as “tactical” of local processing implemented
in public housing neighborhoods in Palermo, the
paper intends to trace project opportunities not
forgetting to highlight critical issues and limitations
with regard to relations between such practices,
planning processes and the interaction between
public-private space dichotomy.

Fritz Plamboom, Van Den Bout, Ypenburg, Delft-Den Hague, Olanda, 2000.
Abstract
Literature about urban planning debates of two
main topics: public space and private space. These
subjects are mainly processed as two different
and detached objects, no common ground can
be found, apart from their boundaries. This clear
distinction could be smooth by a specific urban
environment: the common space between city and
housing. If well designed and balanced, common
space is able to satisfy the requests of both citizens
and residents. The firsts ask for visibility, vitality
and sharing that can be called urban quality. On
the other hand the seconds ask for safety and
privacy. In this survey we try to elaborate an
analytical method to find out some principles for
a good design of common space. It begins with
the decomposition of the space in its components.
Then these parts are reworked on the strength of
thematic affinities. Finally we can find three main
principles: accessibility, hierarchy and functional
mixitè.

one-way urban policies promoted from the top

POLITICHE DI DENSIFICAZIONE E QUALITÀ DEGLI SPAZI APERTI
Foto aerea del quartiere di Casal Brunori.
Abstract
The paper offers a critical reflection on the urban
planning densification policies proposed by
the municipal administration of Rome within
the framework of the Zoning Plans of the 2nd
Social Housing Plan (“PEEP”), through the use
of municipally-owned nonstandard areas. In
particular, the focus will be on the analysis of the
urban planning variation envisaged for the Zoning
Plan of Casal Brunori, in the south-western part
of the city, a recently formed residential fabric
next to the historic Spinaceto quarter, where the
services and public facilities envisaged by the plan
are still far from being realized. The critical points
highlighted concern the possible endangerment of
a secondary component of the ecological network
(the valley of Casal Brunori) by the placement there
of new buildable areas, when it was supposed to be
destined for use as a quality green space (“Punto
Verde Qualità”) and for public services.

Abstract
The case study is an urban area in the northeast
quadrant of Rome where numerous public
housing neighborhoods built are interspersed with
pervasive open spaces and widespread areas of
different nature: the river corridor of the Aniene
Valley, the illegal dumping, the enclave of Aguzzano
regional park, fragments of Agro Romano, the
residential courtyards and the abandonment of
many empty areas. This are transforming territories
within which the open spaces now cannot fully
play neither the desired environmental connection
role nor facilitating the social cohesion resulting in
separation and distancing. However, trying to cope
in these situations local voluntary associations are
constantly working to care of the land, through
the supervision on customs and practices of
green spaces, the organization of maintenance of
interstitial abandoned spaces to catch a glimpse
of their inner potential to make new real workable
patterns of relationships between urban landscape
and natural landscape.

The present work intends to recover a reasoning
on the Great Reconstruction and Agricultural
Debug in Matera, reflecting on the results and
on the perspectives of the postwar social housing
interventions that contributed in a substantial
manner to the construction of the modern city, with
a critical reinterpretation of the issues of the ‘public
housing’ which can identify today new addresses
for implore the self-referencing identification of
Matera with the Sassi area.
Through the joint use of planning analysis
techniques and of a more capacious landscape
sensitivity attentive to territorial dynamics, we
experienced to reread in a contemporary twist
this intermediate condition, as a more complex
connection between the city and the suburbs,
compared to the more direct and less artifact

DERB JDID: METAMORFOSI DI UN HABITAT
Il quartiere di Derb Jdid, Casablanca.
Abstract
The proposed contribution explores the theme
of the customization and practices of occupation
of public space and the “extensions” of housing,
places of interface between inside and outside,
in the neighborhood of Derb Jdid Casablanca,
Morocco. The theme is explored through the story
of the whole intervention of “re-settlement” of the
bidonvilles carried out by the designer in the years
straight after the Independence of Morocco. The
neighborhood has been profoundly transformed.
The practices of modification and transformation
of the dwellings by the residents involve different
levels and scales – from the single dwelling to
the urban scale – and condition and involve also
various social spheres. A rich variety of figures
and ornaments in the doors, windows and in the
volumes, partly in line with the façade and partly
projecting outwards. The volumetric alterations,
part of the process of transformation, appear more
relevant since they operate structurally on the fabric
by modifying its density and the relation between
mass and void, while the transformations use of
spaces on the ground floors have altered systems
interface with the open space. All this is reflected
in the urban landscape, the bearer of continuous
transformations of culture and social housing.

URBAN UPGRADE – RIGENERARE I VUOTI URBANI
La rigenerazione del quartiere Cabanyal a Valencia: vista dei nuovi edifici dal letto del Turia.
Abstract
The crisi of the residential peripheries of our
contemporary cities is often visible looking at the
problematic, marginal, degraded state of the public
open spaces. We propose a scheme of intervention
based on the necessity of re-composition of the
urban space, a re-generation that aims to arouse
emotion and empathy in the user, in order to create
a recognizable place. The purpose of this approach
is to recreate the virtuous relationship between
public open space and residential buildings.
This idea of design was tested on two particular
cases of investigation, both characterized by the
presence of a big urban void right in the middle
of a residential neighborhood: Cabanyal quarter
in Valencia, and Ponterosso area in Ancona. In
both cases the strategies of intervention led us to
a urban upgrade, inspired by the re-activation of
green spaces on one side, and on the addiction of
new function and services on the other.

PAESAGGI INSTABILI. PROVE DI VIVIBILITÀ PERIURBANA
Autunno Pilastro Bologna 2012 Alexis Ftakas.
Abstract
Suburban neighbourhoods endlessly recompose
the city’s many faces, mirroring those who live
there but often leave no trace in urban memory.
We may see those faces daily without recognizing
them, perceiving them as faded representations,
or worse, as unwelcome evidence of worsening
spatial conditions. At a time when places are
redefined in terms of vitality and diversity, we
need to reconsider faces and spaces which daily
contribute to city life and, ultimately, to its identity.
Some suburbs, such as Pilastro in Bologna and Zen
in Palermo, provide a good visual representation
of the idea of lifeblood flowing seamlessly to the
vibrant city centre, opening up new links across
space and time.
Despite the apparent decline, can public spaces
still play a role in building identity through mutual
recognition of the right to what exists? This paper
tries to answer the question through observations
and narrative testimonies, looking for today’s
meaning of neighbourly living.

RURALITÀ URBANA NEI QUARTIERI ERP: PROCESSI AGRICOLI DI PARTECIPAZIONE
“Bruggen naar Rabot”, Gent, Belgium, fotografia di Lamiot 1
Abstract
The article highlights the possible decision-making
processes of the community of the public housing
(ERP), for the care of the open spaces surrounding.
Participatory processes analyzed belong to the
theme of the production of goods from the public
space, that is how to capitalize on the pertaining
space available. In the contemporary financial
and social crisis, the margins improving the
welfare of citizens, ERP’s users, are being eroded
by the scarcity of resources of the institutions
managers. That deterioration of the public housing
buildings is, after all, small compared to the
total abandonment of the open spaces facing
the buildings. Consequently the green spaces,
conceived by designers such as quality standard,
but now in bad conditions, amplify the inadequacy
and degradation of the ERP. Redeveloping these
spaces, giving them a function productive and
socially inclusive is aim of the analysis of the
peri-urban neighborhoods of major Italian and
European cities.

COSTRUIRE COMUNITÀ: UN’ESPERIENZA PARTECIPATA DI RIGENERAZIONE URBANA
A ROSARNO
Momenti di confronto tra i cittadini, le istituzioni ed i partecipanti del Workshop nel quartiere Case Nuove.
Abstract
Last September, during the 1st edition of the
Festival della Rigenerazione Urbana in
Rosarno, the regeneration of the public places was
realized through social planning experiences, that
transformed the city area called Case Nuove in
an expanded home/laboratory.
Artists, academics and architects by all over the
Europe received hospitality by the people of
Rosarno, who took part in the workshop organized
by the association A di Città – Rosarno.
The planning actions were based on the recycle,
the own history recovery and the multiculturality
of public spaces. In the disused area called
“Ricettacolo”, a group of architects, citizens,
students and artists had re-used materials found
on the place or given by financial sponsors or
residents, to realize a common place where
everyone can play or relax.
This was the first step of the community to take
possession of its own territory. A process focused
on the economic sustainability and the social
cohesion, that transforms Rosarno in a permanent
laboratory of Urban Regeneration.

ESPERIENZA ESTETICA DI RIGENERAZIONE. LE PERIFERIE DI REGGIO CALABRIA
L’immagine descrive il territorio oggetto di studio, ovvero una porzione del territorio di Reggio Calabria. Le evidenti porzioni scure
indicano la presenza delle “lacune urbane”; il tessuto insediativo è diviso per fasce cromatiche, dove dalla fascia più chiara alla più
scura si denota la crescita della città negli anni.
Abstract
The autonomous perspective that we use to read
the city compares to a “ aesthetic factory”. An
open place, a place where we have to combine the
tissue that nourishes the form, the identity and the
art. The aesthetic experience of the city is the site
of “urban emptiness”.
The interpretive reading on the suburbs of Reggio
Calabria is geared to translate the theories in the
physical dimension.
Urban fragmentation is mainly localized in the
peri-urban fringes, those areas with deficiencies
in the system of mobility and urban services. The
fragmented areas are often the outline of the city.
They are the containers of social segregation.
The presence of elements that cause fragmentation
has a direct effect on the immediate surroundings,
but also of the whole city that has become a
regenerated space; an open space as a place of
semiotic communication.

LA SCALA DOMESTICA DELLO SPAZIO APERTO
L’accento semipubblico delle spazialità intermedie dell’habitat collettivo di Ramon y Cajal a Siviglia.
Abstract
The question of the dimensions of daily living is
answered through architectural replies tailored
to suit the needs of the spaces in proximity, in
those measured areas which play host to exterior
projections of the domestic sphere, and where
informal activities and practices are carried out,
meetings, passing time and stasis in general.
Even the greater dimensions of collective
constructions open up small scale possibilities, to
the measurement of intermediate areas between
dwelling and shared space, between the family
microcosm and the “collective area” of the
balcony, between the individual and the collective
of the open space all around.
Spatial and relational connectors which give

SAN BASILIO_ L’EFFETTO COLLAGE
Parte del quartiere progettata nell’ambito del 1- PEEP, Piano di Zona San Basilio.
Abstract
San Basilio is a neighbourhood sited in the
north-east periphery of Rome. It is surrounded
by urban infrastructures such as two high-ways,
the detention centre Rebibbia and an industry
district, which hamper its contacts with the rest of
the city. This quarter is incapable of being a selfsufficient part of the city, mostly because of its
strictly residential function and its position, which
makes it isolated and disconnected. San Basilio’s
identity is fragmented and very distant from the
typology of a typical part of a city because of the
lack of a general plan aiming to coordinate the
interventions the neighbourhood had undergone.
The result is a collage of parts which do not
communicate one with the other. Nowadays the
problem remains unsolved, notwithstanding the
numerous renewal programs dealing with San
Basilio, since the administration keeps on working
on single problems eluding a comprehensive vision
of the neighborhood itself.

RI-IMMAGINA LA MAPPA (MARCIAPIEDI - ALBERI - PARCHEGGI - PIANI TERRA AREE CIVICHE). IL CASO DI SAN BASILIO A ROMA
Quartiere San Basilio, Roma (2013).
Abstract
For Venice Biennale 2014 Rem Koolhaas will look
at Fundamentals, basic unavoidable architectural
categories structuring any living space. It sounds
as a warning to re-establish a straight relationship
to tectonic components in design and building
processes. MAPPA, which stands for Sidewalks+
Trees + Parking + Ground Floors + Civic
Areas - five Fundamentals in urban design - is
a research project exploring both theoretically
and experimentally a notion of “urban ecology”
based on smart recycling of material and cultural
resources coming from the self-organised city.
MAPPA defines an extensive, multiscalar program
of public space regeneration for the city of Rome,
grasping from local emergent and informal
behaviors in order to assign new identities. It
combines a sensibilization campaign, aiming at
temporary mutation on space perception and
urban congestion, together with a progressive yet
radical program of ecological corridors generating
a highly interconnected metropolitan network.

Abstract
Industrial City and Housing difficulties.
The management of the urban regeneration
process. (G. Panarelli)
In Italy, the policies for social housing have often
been supported by research and experimentation.
The significant housing problems and poor quality
of life is the basis of regeneration interventions in
Public Private Partnership (PPP). Some reflections
on “how to manage the process”, with the aim of
developing skills through project interventions also experimental - where the inhabitant is at the
center of the process, are necessary.
Culture and Environmental policies, strategic
choices. (M. G. Rucco)
Important interventions of urban regeneration in
Europe apply a cultural-social and Environmental
policy. The examples of Duisburg is emblematic
of this approach: the strategic choices focus on
culture and Environmental policy as an engine for
the urban rehabilitation and regeneration.

TRANSURBANZE NELLA PERIFERIA DI GENOVA TRA SPAZI PUBBLICI CENTRALI PER
GLI ABITANTI
Campo di calcetto dell’Opera Don Bosco, Genova 2013.
Abstract
A “walkscape” in company of a young resident
of a Genoese suburb was the origin of this article:
it took place following the cognitive map of the
public spaces he was used to frequent since his
childhood. The goal here is to challenge the very
notions of city centre and suburb, to deal with the
transformation of the public spaces and how the
globalization has changed the way residents enjoy
them. New central spaces rise within the suburbs,
vital to their users and to the construction of their
personal identity, closely linked to the territorial
one.
The suburbs and its residents communicate a
picture of themselves as by a mirror-effect, passing
through different looks and interpretations, and
it is related to the various ways of living the
neighbourhood.
This is to explain how suburban public spaces
turn into central ones as to the education of an
individual and how the lack and the degradation
of them may cause major collateral damages on his
identity development.

RIFORMULARE L’IDENTITÀ DELLO SPAZIO APERTO: LETTURE E DISPOSITIVI
Milano. Un archivio di spazi aperti.
Abstract
An interpretative reading of different social
districts realized over the last forty years puts in
evidence different forms of open space, connected
to the peculiarity of the physical context and
to the period of realization. Re-thinking these
spaces today entails on the one hand an effort
to spot strategies and tactics able to improve the
habitability condition and on the other a reflection
about triggering new forms of urban relation.
In the Milan context it is possible to recognize
different seasons of production of the “public
city”, including diverse modalities in conceiving
open spaces. “Abitare a Milano” contemporary
experience represents a fertile exploration in this
direction.
It is necessary to escape pre-judices in order to find
out issues and suggest plausible modifications
oriented to the construction of a better urban
habitability.

ESTERNI GENOVESI; C.E.P. CENTRO ELEMENTI PERICOLOSI
Locandina delle iniziative del CEP dell’estate 2011.
Abstract
Genoa is an anomaly in the Italian panorama: the
densification of each type of activity in a confined
space is a constant factor, that generates an odd
energy fuelled by regularly contacting different
social realities, a true hotbed of social ideas in the
vanguard.
The slum CEP is the evidence: built in the late ‘60
from scratch to a small town of 7000 inhabitants,
on the hills above Voltri, without history and in
the absence of a structured network, today is a
symbol of an identity raised by rebuilding the
sense of belonging in its community. Actions and
participatory processes, triggered by the work of
one individual, were capable of basing solid projects
to restore pride to a marginalized community on
cross-cultural exchange and inclusion. Spaces
have been reactivated for common activities,
and the meaning of the word, once a conviction,
was reversed, becoming today synonymous of
redemption, thanks to communicative inventions
capable of transforming the belonging into pride.

PAESAGGI DELLA MEDIAZIONE: LA COSTRUZIONE DI UN QUADRO INTERPRETATIVO
DELLO SPAZIO APERTO NEGLI INSEDIAMENTI DI EDILIZIA RESIDENZIALE PUBBLICA
“To mediate: connect with intermediate elements or imply connection by spaces that demonstrate the cohesion of masses around
them”, F. Maki, Investigations in collective form ,1964.
Abstract
The article proposes to subscribe the open space
of public housing neighbourhoods (gardens, paths,
roofs, …) inside the ampler category of space of
mediation, in reference to its double meaning of
spatial interval (between street and house) and
conceptual interval (between society and person).
The aim is to illustrate a possible interpretation of
the open space in reference to an overall quality of
housing that doesn’t find all conditions for being
definied and satisfied inside the house space but
must also be pursued in the spatial elements able
to create urban connections.
The article proposes a methodology based on critical
readings for dichotomies of the space of mediation
and therefore of the open space, representative of
the spatial categories underline as characteristics
of the last century public housing: in | out, front
|back, nature | built, private | common, and offers
the opportunity to create a grade of judjement
(Benjamin, 2013) of the open space and of its
present qualities, presumed or ever existed.

SPAZIO PUBBLICO, BENE (IN) COMUNE
Agrigento (Sicilia). Piazza Cavour.
Abstract
Every age has produced a type of city that has
given origin to an own version of public space,
that it has always been protean. Today, we are
witnessing the proliferation of physical places of
the collective life but at the same time, emptying
of traditional public space so that it is difficult to
define because of the uncertain meaning of the
adjective “public”. The Leipzig Charter in 2007 has
assigned a role of primary importance to the public
space in the name of a Baukultur understood as
the sum of all the cultural and social aspects that
affect quality and planning. The public space is a
“common” and lived in common for managing and
it should be remembered that the users are the
persons responsible of the management, because
“good in common”. Only a broader view of the
problems of participation can lead to conceive that
the public space is not built on a different layer for
each category of subjects but on the basic principle
of the city for everyone.

IL MASTERPLAN DEL QUARTIERE SANT’ELIA A CAGLIARI: STRATEGIE DI SVILUPPO
PER LA RIGENERAZIONE DEGLI SPAZI APERTI
Simulazione dell’intervento.
Abstract
S.Elia neighbourhood was conceived in ‘70s as
social housing district; between 1976 and 2000
were built almost 1500 apartments, belonging to
AREA; the district occupies a 12 ha area, situated
between the most important natural sites of the
city, but nowadays is characterized by the presence
of outlaw activities, that do not allow a public
fruition, nor their appropriation for private uses
related to the dwellers’ needs.
The S. Elia Masterplan, financed by a Regional
program in 2006, is aimed at a wide revitalisation
of public spaces, both for private and public use,
in order to increase economic and social dynamics.
According to these principles, it is possible to
operate with multiple actions: on the one hand
the project aims to give back to the inhabitants
their spaces, with a rationalisation of the indistinct
areas surrounding the buildings. On the other hand
the increasing of commercial activities will help to
build to a different identity of the district, both with
the valorisation of natural resources.

LA RIGENERAZIONE DEGLI SPAZI APERTI INSIEME ALLE COMUNITÀ
Spazi aperti destinati ad orti urbani dentro la città.
Abstract
The open spaces of many suburbs are anonymous.
Those areas, that are part of our lives and of
our landscape, as well as the improvement of
the management of resources at the local level
and dissemination of more sustainable lifestyles
towards practical solutions shared within the
community. Thus the project of redevelopment
of public spaces has the task of stimulating the
interaction between people and countering the
anomie of the spaces, but also promote the
“transition” towards a new model of sustainable
development. The paper presents some experiences
of participation conducted in European cities
aimed at redevelopment of open spaces. Emphasis
is placed on shared local-level actions directed to a
more sustainable resource management to reduce
the environmental impact of local communities by
introducing management practices more efficient
and effective from an environmental point of view
and at the same time to increase the intensity of
use to inhabit the open spaces of the city by the
inhabitants.

NOVI BEOGRAD. UN’ALTRA MODERNITÀ
Alessio Maximiliam Schroder, Блокови 1.(Courtesy AM Schroder).
Abstract
The interest that this paper moves on Novi
Beograd is not specifically historical-critical or
philological. It does not even focuses on the urban
contents of this socialistic experience, but search
the correspondence between the modern and the
postmodern projects that mainly discussed the
community space. What we found in Novi Beograd
is an intrinsic connection between architecture and
city form, but no longer on the morphological and
typological “reasons” that fifty years ago had led
the Aldo Rossi and Carlo Aymonino researches. And
even resorting to any treaty of urban sociology.
More specifically, in Novi Beograd an founded
condition was that the public ownership should
form the matrix configuration of the urban plot, to
embody the ideal of a new civitas, deeply linked to
the State.

ECLETTISMO AL RIBASSO: LA PERIFERIA E LA DECADENZA FORMALE DEL LUOGO
Il ‘Rinascimento urbano’ proposto da Léon Krier.
Abstract
Urban quality reflects the difficult relationship of
architectural theory of nowadays with the place.
The decline of the suburbs is a common aspect
of urban reality, in which the urban planning has
been able to transform urban periphery in any
place, determining, from the big city to the smallest
village, emptying the sense of place and social
identity.
The paper analyzes the failure, social and
architectural, of the urban growth of Alessandria,
a small town in Piedmont, in which they occur,
proportionally, the problematics of modern culture,
decadence and formal segregation of duties,
which, suspending the identity of the place, have
fueled mistrust in the future.
The absence of an urban project is reflected
compositional eclecticism of the suburbs, which,
exploiting the history or technology, proposes
partial and ineffective visions, amplifying, in
contrast to the existing, perception of degradation
of the place.

Abstract
The area of the Urban Park “Green Plate” (San
Severo, FG – southern Italy) have been reasons for
interest during the last decade.
The area in fact was an extensive depressed
land and as such it offered a big opportunity for
compensating the lack of green and social activities
of the surrounding zones.
In 2008 it was redeveloped in its perimeter belt
and in 2013 it gained the regional funding for its
final completion thanks to a proposal in line with
the regional youth policies of social development
and urban regeneration.
We aim to trace the chronological sequence of the
project’s stages analysing in parallel the forwardlooking directives of Puglia region, which invested
deeply into the renewal of the open spaces and
suburbs, the financing programmes for the apulian
cities, that are often intertwined with the municipal
administration and the citizens expectations about
the area.

RACCONTI PRIVATI NELLA CITTÀ PUBBLICA
Quartiere Casazza (Brescia), incrocio via Luigi Gadola con via Arturo Reggio.
Abstract
This paper shows the public neighborhood named
Casazza, built in the 1970s in the periphery of the
city of Brescia (Italy).
The text, which is not presented as an objective
statements of facts, introduces a human
interpretation of the events, touching the most
intimate and subjective sphere of the lives of the
inhabitants.
The neighborhood and its public open spaces
were the common plot and the frame for a series
of interviews, during which the people told their
personal perceptions towards the history and the
places of their neighborhood. The contributions
were then collected in a common text, as well as a
set of individuals constituting a community.
The result is a choral narration, which is more
authentic because the interlocutors themselves are
part of the transformative process that involves
their neighborhood. They change with the space,
they develop a new sense of the place and new
modalities of occupation of the land, showing how
real life is able to melt to and sometimes to override
any rational planning imposed from above.

LO SPAZIO COLLETTIVO NELLA CITTÀ DIFFUSA: RIFLESSIONI TEORICHE E IPOTESI
PROGETTUALI
Tipi di tessuti urbani nella città diffusa: evidenza degli spazi vuoti rispetto al costruito.
Abstract
The loss of value of open space is evident today, on
one hand looking at the large figure on a regional
scale, including many residual areas such as
agricultural fields, on the other, looking at the small
open spaces, belonging to ordinary landscapes as
abandoned spaces and ordinary-waste places
(parking lots, streets and backyards).
But these wasteful spaces and ordinary landscapes
are direct and indirect city products.
We usually don’t design them, because they are
not considered as a component of the city, that can
be transformed from products to resources.
In order to create a new ordinary landscape of
open spaces, we don’t have to use precise and
pre-defined shapes but we should apply different
strategies, reshaping these spaces, including
a principle of ambiguity, multiple uses and/or
temporary uses, that could transform those spaces
into places, where people can find resources to
satisfy their desires, reinventing the spaces in many
unexpected and creative ways.

Abstract
Since the beginning of the last century a progressive
and esponential process of urbanization and
infrastructuring has occured in the territory of
Lombardia, especially in the neighboring areas of
the conurbation of Milano-city and in the zone of
high plain enclosed between Ticino and Adda (la
città infinita1,the infinite-city). In this territorial
framework of spaces strongly anthropic, mainly
residential, –where the open spaces for the public
life of citizens result reduced and disqualified, not
to mention fragmented – natural, often residual,
areas are just at urban bondaries. Right in this
area there is regional (and also national) peak of
settlement density2. Here, in this compromised
landscape, flows the Villoresi Canal, an hydraulic
infrastructure that as a thread links different parts
of land that are varying from agricoltural landscape
to urban fringe areas and also to public housing
neighbourhoods. To verify the potential of this
hydraulic infrastructure didactic sperimentation
and researches are carried out by a sinergy
between Consorzio di Bonifica Est Ticino Villoresi
(managing institution of the Canal) and the School
of Civil Architecture of Politecnico di Milano.

NAPOLI

Abstract
In 1980, an earthquake shakes the Campania
region, resulting in death and destruction,
especially in Irpinia. In Naples falls just one
building, but the earthquake generates 35,000
families of “earthquake-homeless.”
After the emergency phase, that of reconstruction
begins with the approval of Law 219 that brought
the city an approach to the redevelopment of its
suburbs whose goal was to make them the “City”,.
This approach institutionalized a reverse path,
“from city to periphery” through the migration of
a significant proportion of Neapolitans (45,119 on
paper) in the province, with the construction of new
cities, the “Rioni 219”, in 18 municipalities in the
hinterland. The displaced live becomes the solution
space to the treatment of housing problems of a
city in bleeding continues homeless.
The paper presents the current situation of one of
these “Rioni 219”, to Salicelle in Afragola (near
Naples) concentration of social and urban decay.
