Oltre la rigenerazione urbana. Per un futuro di lunga durata

subject

description

The proposal Casa-Bottega developed by Ml.NA research group gives the opportunity to explore the construction of a possible urban setting for the Rogoredo-Santa Giulia-Forlanini area. lt deals with a recurrent topic - the work-home - in the definition of design strate- gies for reusing and recoverying abandoned production compartments due to their level of obsolescence. The disposal of the industrial heritage of the last century generates large abandoned enclosures in the European cities. The so-called urban voids, in which architects have expressed themselves through refunctionalization projects by proposing a new functions. The identified solutions for the recovery of these areas link to the identification of new functions related to the lndustry 4.0 phenomenon, smaller than the size of heavy industry sectors and able to match with the urban scale of the block. The "Casa-Bottega" topic proposed has been reinterpreted by analyzing the medieval housing typology of the "lotto gotico". The reference to a housing model of the past is potentially justified by the close relation- ship between "project" and "make" that characterizes lndustry 4.0. Furthermore, the new housing paradigm of "Casa-Bottega" repla- ces the cultural model of the modern city - whose system separates the different functions - exploring new forms of contemporary living, allowing the functions of living to alternate seamlessly spatially and resulting in a functional mixitè between living and working time.
