Regeneration of gasometer industrial heritage in Venice

The reticular structures, which time has seen to change for uses and destinations, characterize the area as a sum of grafts and highly compromised architectural stratifications. The traces present acquire an archaeological value and the stratifications are testimonial elements that return the complexity and the story of the transformation of the sector. Starting from the intrinsic potential of places, the project does not intend to implement a radical transformation of the place but to start an evolutionary phase, which treasures the collective memory of the place. The thesis, whose supervisor was A. Massarente and co-supervisor A. Verde, was discussed in School of Architecture University of Ferrara in 2016, then published as shortlisted project in the same year for the “European Architectural Medals for the Best Diploma Projects” Award.
