Europan 9 Bisceglie

runner-up

The operating strategies of project proposal born from a critical scrutiny of the site:

- to empty and stratify, inserting a series of empty spaces that qualifies various levels, links the parts, as a relational system

- grafting, a series of functions and various activities into the different levels of the abandoned edifice.

- configuration, the various spatial configurations produced by the collapses is activated by way of a series of spatial dispositions whose formal principles is born to bring back meaning to the traces left by the collapses, by way of operations of extrusion, tracing or moulding, and resewing together that attained a new image.
