IN-UP_INHABITING THE UPCYCLING. Regenerative strategies for inhabiting the process

The massive expansion of the suburbs in Italy between the 1950s and 1980s, characterised by the construction of subsidised public housing estates, has necessarily given way since the 1990s to physical and social redevelopment of large peripheral complexes. Starting from the project of technological, typological and energetic-environmental recovery of architectural artefacts and, more specifically, of public residential buildings, the contribution investigates the theme of regeneration by presenting the results of a project experience developed on the occasion of the RELIVE2020 design competition-workshop. The project proposal, through a systemic approach capable of providing a decisive contribution to regenerative processes, prefigures a replicable model of a resilient, inclusive and low environmental impact city.
