Law and case Reuse of industrial buildings along the river Sile, Silea, Casier, Casale sul Sile, IT team I Marco Bolsieri Gian Maria Casadei professor I Carlo Magnani 2016 - 2017
Moving from the assertion that “the law generates the case”, the river Sile can be considered and valued as a geographic evidence, thinking at the protected areas linked to it according to a physical and not legal sense. The urban planning legislation contributed decisively to this causality, detached from the local problems, incapable of a general view in which the river is seen as a geographic infrastructure. At the same time, the incremental construction of the territory, together with the speed of transformation, prevented the chance of fulfilling a formal design. Equally, a vision animated by a never ending availability of local resources led the local economy during XX century. Becoming aware of the infinitude of problems, it is necessary to elaborate a selective thought which is able to propose, starting from a general view, a strategy that favours an accurate intervention. Particular attention is given to the area delimited between Tre-

viso and the Venetian lagoon. Causality, incremental vision and intensive exploitation are the three lenses through which screening the territory, configuring the image of the “rubble”, which materializes into three different spatial configurations: sheds, public areas and quarries. The quarries, emblem of human violence on landscape for economics reasons, are quality spaces whose identity needs to be given a new meaning inside the landscape, considering their potentiality. Sheds prevent access to the river, mirror of the XIX century industrial settlement whose life reason was the river, especially for planning logistics and transportation. The project is aimed at restoring the ancient relation with water, stressing the accessibility along the river banks. Public areas, randomly placed and sometimes inaccessible, are out of a systemic design, rather than being the application of urban rules. Linking them appears a must which the cycleway can solve.
The project proposes the reuse of industrial archeology and quarries, considering location, accessibility, relations with the river and the public areas: an idea that rejects the concept of refoundation, rather in the direction of the reconstruction of a ready existing but fragmented world. The quarries are considered public spaces linked to the others thanks to a path bridge which shortens the distance crossing the river. The silos are rethought as great lanterns, a real landmark recognizable along the river landscape. The design idea consists in reconfiguring the sawmill wall in order to guarantee the access to the waterfront. In the area where a former old furnace for brick production stands, the design starts from the vegetation, recovering the traditional enclosed fields disposition. Only a few buildings of the furnace factory are conserved, adding to them a new building.

What does “city” mean today? To find a convincing and comprehensive answer is a tough task. Geometrical defined shape and public space quality can be easily assumed as key-points to analyze nowadays the Veneto region. This area appears as a city region, mirror of a society dominated by a neurotic will of privacy. A not futuristic attitude in respect of time and nature materialized into an unsustainable appropriation of the soil. How to act in front of this phenomenon? Accommodating this uncontrolled growth, trusting in a never ending consume of the soil or looking critically at what exists, trying to rationalize it? An appropriate answer is not rejecting what exists, finding an ordering principle inside the randomness of the built. Assuming “randomness” as the absence of a regulation for the urban growth, the aim is to assign a new meaning to the landscape through water, con-

sidered as a device to link different parts of the territory. The project aims at awakening some territorial potentialities along the river Melma, thought as a landscape generator. The reuse of an old paper factory in Carbonera tries to face critically a piece of landscape “raped” by the urban law that didn’t consider the idea of beauty as a must in landscaping drawing, following, instead, obsolete administrative borders. The design process moved from the fundative role of the water - restoring the original riverbed to a hierarchical reconstruction of walkways and accesses, taking care about the context and creating different visual relations. The original concrete main structure of the paper factory is kept as a great post industrial discovery under which new residence buildings find place.

The lesson of the ruin New centrality for Nervesa della Battaglia, Nervesa della Battaglia, IT team I Marco Bolsieri Gian Maria Casadei professors I Fernanda De Maio Mario Piana Luisa Berto 2014-2015
The project assumes the itinerarium as a concept, a story aimed at the dialogue between the different buildings of local archaeology. The time of memory, the conservation of the ruin and the hic et nunc, whose the three objects are emblem, become opportunities to trace a path both temporal and visual. The three momumenta - the church, the abbey and the war memorial are connected through the view, considered the only instrument of conservation. Hence the desire to give life to a system of buildings working as visual telescopes focused on the archaeology. The project emphasizes the interpenetration of nature and built. The cul de sac described by the road leads to a gap between urban space and natural space, resulting at the same time a dividing line between private and public space. The new buildings - a restaurant/cafĂŠ with an information area and a dance school- establish relations with the exi-

sting buildings. The project, in the urban area, is generated from the regulator track of religious architecture. Rotations around the axis of the church define the place of the new buildings, shaping, at the same time, some spaces, different for size and relations with the surroundings. Here are the microcosms, whose heterogeneity is marked. The different treatment of the floor emphasizes the otherness of space in relation to the different function. Equally, spacial diversity is filtered through different altitude of the walkways. Hence the penetration of the visual relations between different microcosms. The poetry of the wall leads all the design. The septum is seen as a tool of the gap between built and unbuilt. Containing the “descent“ of the green is its task. At the same time, the septum becomes an instrument of invention. The idea is to stage a perspective telescope toward the abbey, focal point to which urban archi-
tecture refers. Every time we are asked to discover something new. The theme of the wall is declined according to different cases. In the urban part, the building itself, with its thickness and its material, is the receptacle of this idea, whereas, along the pathway leading to the abbey, this concept declines in the form of low walls that lead, both physically and visually, to the abbey, the valuable object. The abbey, conserved nowadays in the form of a ruin, lies within the trails that cross the clearing on the hills. It is a monument to which the low walls invite you to look at. The project aims at making the ruins usable for visitors, trying to make the church and cloister accessible. The area of the church is thought to be a place dedicated to hosting small events such as concerts or shows. Nearby what survives of the ancient abbey, that is a small guesthouse, is hidden into the hill slope.

A constellation of mysterious industrial buildings, nowadays in a condition of ruins, draws Porto Marghera skyline. Is it possible to convert them into new great “urban factory�? Can they be transformed in buildings able to hold new communities of people? The aim of this workshop is to transform these great existent buildings into centers for community life in order to create a kind of a constellation city. These imposing buildings, silent witnesses of industrial archaeology, become exceptional cathedrals soaring above the new homogeneous centers. Water is the common link between the different stars of the constellation. The area of the project is the so called Agrimont, one of the most ancient industrial area since the 1920s. Nowadays, only the great concrete arches of the structure remain, drawing the skyline of this area with their great monumentality.
