The main issue of our project is to radically resolve the current physical, functional and emotional rift giving back a piece of the city to the citizens that testifies the deep urban and social transformation that has so much affected the organisation of Verbano workers and local society. The proposal aims not only to safeguard the heritage of the industrial era but also to incite local development processes on a socio-economic scale by proposing innovative production and business models.
