Architecture as a tool for social regeneration in peripheral contexts
[by Nicola Sirugo, 2016–2017]

Pozzallo, a peripheral town on the Sicilian coast, exemplifies the condition of many Italian provinces marked by geographic isolation and social fragility. Starting from an analysis of the town’s criticalities and specific territorial qualities, the project explores architecture as an active tool for addressing contemporary needs.

Positioned between research and design, In Transit investigates causes, spatial forms, and architectural strategies to define a coherent and lasting framework for temporary residency.
