Geografie dell’abbandono

The theme of abandonment, on an urban and architectural territorial scale, has long been at the centre of the debate on the future of the city, generating intense planning activity. Often abandoned places have only been considered as degraded, nostalgic theatres of memory or areas awaiting replacement and transformation. In the field of architecture and urban landscape, there is a need for new approaches and operational mindsets. It is essential to adopt a new perspective on current forms of neglect, considering them as an intrinsic value.
