"Team: Rinaldo Del Nero, Andrea Mainetti, Anna Barlascini, Elisa Fantoni Execution: Corazza stefano imbiancature, Idraulica Menatti, Caneva serramenti, Spandrio srl, Falegnameria Mazzolini. Text description provided by the architects. This renovation project is an exemplary alternative to the all-too-common practice of demolition and reconstruction, which tends to replace complexity with standardized solutions. Here, the approach was to recover and transform, minimizing waste and giving new value to materials via preservation rather than replacement."
"This renovation project is an exemplary alternative to the all-too-common practice of demolition and reconstruction, which tends to replace complexity with standardized solutions. Here, the approach was to recover and transform, minimizing waste and giving new value to materials via preservation rather than replacement."
The project prioritizes recovery and transformation of existing structures rather than demolition and reconstruction. The approach focuses on preservation and adaptive reuse to maintain complexity and character while avoiding standardized solutions. Materials are retained, repaired, and given new value to minimize waste and environmental impact. The strategy reduces resource consumption by favoring transformation over replacement and seeks to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to wholesale rebuilding. The project team includes Rinaldo Del Nero, Andrea Mainetti, Anna Barlascini, and Elisa Fantoni, with execution by Corazza stefano imbiancature, Idraulica Menatti, Caneva serramenti, Spandrio srl, and Falegnameria Mazzolini.
