Housing Regeneration in Europe An Opportunity for Architecture and Architects

The seminar is inspired by the increasing number of interesting projects and architectural practices dealing with spatial, typological and technical innovation connected to the regeneration of existing buildings all over Europe toward residential and community spaces. The seminar is interested in crossing different experiences that work on: the regeneration of existing collective housing, the regeneration of peripheral areas and fragile context, the unconventional reuse of the nonresidential, underused or abandoned buildings. All these topics combine many issues: the typological innovation in relation to contemporary practices, the work on the envelope, the layout articulation, the image of the building, the participation of the community, the effects that these projects can produce on
urban scale.

This seminar has been developed within the “territorial fragility” project promoted by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies. It results from the synergy between two research lines: ForDwell “Forms, uses and spaces for contemporary dwelling. New solutions for new households” and PeriFrag “Urban and metropolitan peripheries in fragile territories”
