summary |
In the transformation of industrial ruins – machine-buildings belonging to a relatively recent past – the dichotomous processes of change and preservation allow to reinterpret the design action as the intrusion of a new life. In the projects for the reuse and recycling of productive heritage, the delicate balance between the safeguard of the identity and the updating of the image to the changing contemporary needs may be declined through the notions of novelty and originality in architecture. The concept of originality – meant as an original re-reading of the pre-existences – can produce novelty as a new spatial interpretation, capable of generating an authentic innovation even just through limited interventions. Two projects of transformation for productive buildings – both partly realized – may act as research media to describe this transition: ever since the first life of these buildings has been unequivocally concluded, their ruins have become an integral part of the landscape, standing in a state of waiting and calling for projects able to insufflate a second life within them. |
