Dissertation research examines the problem of depopulation and abandonment of smaller towns in Italy and Europe, introducing a visio compared to the centrality of the city which affected the architectural panorama of the recent years. The work intends to draw attention to Oliena (NU) subject to a gradual abandonment and degradation of its historical center, as a result of population transfer to the surrounding suburbs.The aim is to experiment temporary solutions for the regeneration of degraded green open spaces, through the insertion of urban devices that give added value to the resources and peculiarities of the places.The design approach has a dual purpose: to stimulate the population to rethink the once-identifying places of their daily life, athrough a manual of tools for the self-construction of urban devices; and to re-actualize these places according to contemporary lifestyles and contemporary sociality, which activated permanent mechanisms of re-appropriation of space.
