REDEFINING LANDSCAPES New forms of compensation for unauthorized construction in Italy [by Stefano Galasso, 2013]
Developed within the Integrated Adaptive Re-Use course at Politecnico di Milano, the research addresses the widespread condition of building abuse in Italian landscapes, often hidden behind environmental and cultural value. The project investigates how architecture can act as a compensatory tool, transforming minor violations into opportunities for collective identity, environmental repair and territorial rebalancing. Through a methodological framework that links research and design, the work proposes sustainable reactivation strategies where landscape, architecture and social interest operate together.
