Landscape In-Between: A River and a Backyard

Addressing the former industrial area of Acetati in Verbania (IT), on the northern Italian shore of Lago Maggiore, the project sets out to explore the ambiguous nature of contemporary residual landscapes. With an attitude of carefully collecting and radically exposing materials, flows, historical layers and traces of production, the proposal reflects upon the idea of «reuse» as a territorial and ecological strategy. Landscape In-Between is the winning proposal for Europan 15. Metaxia Markaki (Architecture of Territory) & Simona Ferrari (Architectural Behaviorology).
