"The project addresses a challenge shared across Europe: how can we intervene in a complex urban fabric while preserving the histories of its inhabitants and the material traces that shape it?"
"How can one act in an "acupunctural" manner—revitalizing the city without total demolition, without starting from scratch?"
The project proposes targeted urban infill interventions to revitalize complex city fabrics while retaining inhabitants' histories and material traces. It prioritizes incremental, acupunctural interventions instead of wholesale demolition or complete redevelopment. The strategy integrates new social housing within existing urban structures, repairing and reusing buildings and public space to maintain social networks and collective memory. Interventions focus on material continuity, adaptable housing units, and small-scale insertions that catalyze broader neighborhood renewal. The approach balances preservation and necessary modernization to provide affordable housing while sustaining cultural and material layers accumulated over time.
