Degree Thesis DESIGN UNIFI-
The project concerns the conversion of the former slaughterhouse in a cultural center, designing a place of social gathering open for everyone. The old building, placed in the centre of Sinalunga, after being abandoned, appears run-down and unable to live. For several year now it’s diffused , in Italy and in all over Europe, the phenomenon of industrial restructuring which involves at the same time a culture-led regeneration, term that has now become common. In the future center, called “EXMARTE”, will organize different types of free Labs in the field of art, and artistic exhibitions and events which will bring back together all generations, from children to the elderly. The main aim is to promote the active participation in cultural in the countryside village, Sinalunga province of Siena, in order to keep step with the times. I pay specific attention to the subject of “accessibility” that refers to the design of products and environments for people who experience disabilities.
