RE (generation) – concrete scenarios of transformation, started by private capital and (de) generate in public investment (mixed) for parks, gardens, urban gardens and civic centers.
MIX – the greatest possible number of types programmatic context (ex. Residential, productive)
SMART ECONOMY – right balance between craft enterprises, innovative and sustainable technologies for the production: the philosophy of upcycling combined with textile tradition is the idea of smart economy.
TOPOS – protect, enhance the natural features of the site, highlighting the key elements of the ecosystem.
REs PUBLICA – improve the collective dimension of urban regeneration and quality of shared spaces.
