The “Open Landscapes” project arrives in Sicily to establish ‘heritage communities’ in common spaces to be recovered.
On the occasion of the birthday party of Farm Cultural Park on June 21st, at the Castle of Favara, “Paesaggi Aperti” will present the workshop ‘open landscapes for living in Favara’ developed by In/Arch Sicilia in synergy with the Italian association Architettura e Critica e with the Farm Cultural Park.
Greetings from the President of IN/Architettura Sicilia, Mariagrazia Leonardi, will be followed by speeches by Lucia Pierro, Lillo Giglia and Giovanni Fiamingo and talks by Andrea Bartoli, founder of Farm Cultural Park and Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi.
The project that will be presented focuses on the redevelopment of the historic center of Favar to encourage its settlement through the technological and ecological regeneration of the Via Reale, the main artery of the city, currently in a state of decay and abandonment due to the collapse of buildings and man’s carelessness.
“Landscapes Open to the Community” was the theme of the meeting held in Palermo in which the valorisation of the territory and the communities that inhabit it were discussed. The example was given of the immersive museum created in the Capaci motorway area where the massacre of Falcone, his wife and his escort took place in 1992. The museum was created to focus on the beauty of Capaci and not to forget the mafia attack. During the meeting we talked about the geographical position of Sicily at the center of the Mediterranean but with a pro-European vocation, of projects that aim to give the suburbs a non-gregarious role, of sustainable mobility and participatory design on decisions concerning collective spaces, of repopulation of abandoned villages.
The “Open Landscapes” project won the FRES (Economic and Social Research Fund) 2021-2022 tender with funding from the Ministry of Research and University and aims above all to involve the reference communities to create as many sustainable spaces intended for conviviality and sociality.
