RESPONDING TO DECLINING INDUSTRY IN MILAZZO 3D PRINTING AS A SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING SECTOR FOR THE CITY

17

Once the second biggest manufacturer of goods and home appliances in Europe, years of financial turmoil and outsourcing to cheaper countries has led to a collapse in the manufacturing sector for the region, with as much as 15% of total capacity completely destroyed.

Milazzo epitomises this struggle, with abandoned grain factories and manufacturing facilities dominating it’s once booming waterfront, creating a rather neglected skyline greeting tourists visiting the city in the Summer. I am proposing a new, modern manufacturing industry for the city, one which requires little infrastructure and one with huge potential for the future. Many countries across the world are starting to invest in this new technology and my proposal would create a new and exciting future for Milazzo as a leader of the 3D printing industry in Europe, encouraging younger generations to stay in the region whilst also generating new jobs, infrastructure and tourism.

MILAZZO

SICILY

The island of Lipari is home to a vast pumice mine which has been abandoned since 2000 when the Aeolian Archipelago was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The volcanic nature of the region has produced many valuable materials such as pumice stone and obsidian which has been used in construction processes since the early Roman Empire discovered their desireable qualities.

Pumice aggregate, in particular, has a long history of being used in the manufacture of light structural concrete, appearing in projects as diverse as the Pantheon in Rome, and deep-sea oil rigs. Although continued mining on the island has been banned, the site still contains a vast quantity of mined and processed pumice stone, aggregate and sand which I can use as the primary material in the 3D printing processes taking place within my proposal. The left-over materials can easily be processed and cleared from the site, before being taken down to the beach and loaded onto container ships bound for Milazzo. Not only does this benefit the island by clearing a relatively dangerous site, it will also generate capital which could be used in future developments on the land.

REPAIRING & PRESERVING ITALY’S CULTURAL HERITAGE 3D PRINTING COMPONENTS TO REPAIR MONUMENTS DAMAGED BY EARTHQUAKES

One of Italy’s biggest yearly expenditures is repairing historical monuments and artifacts damaged by frequent earthquakes in the region

19

3D printing replacement parts for damaged artifacts across the region is a cheap and efficient way of cutting down on expensive restoration projects and a way of creating a new industry for Milazzo in the process. Aswell as printing replacement components for the region, 3D printing could also be an effective way of archiving, storing and documenting important exisitng relics by scanning and replicating them, thus preserving Italy’s heritage for years to come.

Not only will my building create a new industry for Milazzo, it will also create a new way for tourists to enjoy Italy’s cultural heritage, transforming Milazzo’s waterfront into an organic, evolving museum for the region.

BOARDWALK

The existing walk southwards from the ferry terminal is relatively bare to say the least so I have created a boardwalk connection betwen the new ferry terminal and market spaces which includes landscaping, seating and lighting. Designed to frame specific views of the site it also offers new routes into the city.

VEHICLE TERMINAL

50

To make the tourist’s first impression of the city more pleasurable I have designed a new ferry terminal and bus lane which responds to the existing infrastructure. The new terminal is a timber frame structure and provides spaces underneath and on top of its canopy for passengers to enjoy whilst waiting for their ferry.

PUBLIC MARKET

100

The northern corner of the public square becomes a new public market, made out of 3d printed components inserted into a framework. It provides an immediate opportunity for locals and tourists to mix whilst also doubling up as the grand entrance to the public square from the ferry terminal.

N

At the southernmost edge of the public square I have designed a timber waffle frame structure to proide shelter to the decking beneath. The idea would be that this space could be used by a few local business owners as extensions of their resturants and provide sheltered refreshments during tourist season.

A key element of my proposal involves the public square sitting in front of my building. It draws immediate attention to my proposal for a new manufacturing industry in Milazzo and also creates a public space which is lacking in the current context. Sheltered by the resturant and market canopies it creates an interesting enviroment where locals and tourists can interact and includes a reconstructed 3D printed fountain and several large 3D printed historical statues.

I have designed a new vehicle terminal for the site which includes road links conecting to the existing network. It defines the form off the new public square and provides a way for vehicles such as cars and busses to enter Milazzo. However, it’s main function is to bring pumice sand from Lipari over to Milazzo, via container ship , and allow it to be offloaded and brought over to the storage silos. Finished 3D prints would also be taken over to this terminal for distribution.
