Vajont 1963 2013 a strategy for the valley location | Vajont valley, IT year | 2013 Master Thesis Project IUAV - University of Venice tutors | Viviana Ferrario . Francesco Trovò October 9th 1963: a 263 million cubic meters landslide, detaches from Monte Toc and falls into the Vajont artificial lake at a speed of 90 km/h. A 250 meter wave oversteps the dam and falls into the Piave Valley, destroying the cities of Longarone and Castellavazzo. A second wave quantified at 20 million cubic meters rises up to the Vajont Valley and destroys part of the villages of Erto e Casso. An estimate of 2000 people died. Today the Vajont Valley counts barely 400 inhabitants, who are searching for a strategy to stay and to built a different future. After fifty years, the scars left by the catastrophic event are slowly healing: the population centres have been rebuilt; the artificial lake has been emptied and a dense vegetation has grown on the landslide. The elements of the memory of this event, represent an important legacy and attract ever thousands of visitors every year. Since 2008, the municipality of Longarone organizes a hike around these elements of memory, which reached a participation of 8000 hikers in 2013. On June 26th, 2009 Dolomites were nominated as World Heritage Sites thanks to their beauty, unique landscape, and geological interest. The Vajont 4
Valley, located at the foot of the Dolomites, has since gained extraordinary value. The 50th anniversary of the Vajont disaster, offers an occasion to rethink a strategy for the valley. This research project acknowledges the complexity presented by the current state of the valley; where the difficulties found in the mountain regions are overlapping with the consequences of the traumatic event. Despite this complexity, the valley presents a great potential and motive for re-population; either because of the changes that have taken place in the valley in recent years, either because of the value of its memory. This project brings together three main objectives for the valley. The identification of a new memory path, the qualification of the valley as a door to the Dolomites and the introduction of activities that will sustain the economy of the valley. The achievement of these objectives, aim to foster both the development of tourism in the valley, as well as a repopulation by old and new inhabitants alike.

objective three Vajont, valley of the memory In the past few years the Valley has seen a slight demographic stabilization, together with the startup of a few ventures related to tourism. The third objective is to sustain and enhance the development

Soesterberg Airfield think tank from military to civic
14
In 2009 NATO leaves the Soesterberg Airfield. The area is purchased by the Province of Utrecht, that is now looking for a strategy of transformation from military use to civic. FAST was asked to carry a research to identify the possibilities of reuse of the base.

Drones and Honeycomb Kosovo Case Study location | Kosovo region year | 2012-2014 work experience at | FAST tasks | research and drawings
Drones and Honeycomb is a research project carried on by Malkit Shoshan in collaboration with The New Institute in Rotterdam. It explores the relations between warfare and the context it operates in. It arises questions around the possible reuse of military structure for civic purposes. The project involved also the dutch Ministry of Defence and Foreign Affair.
