Re-build landscape. Design for the reuse of abandoned quarries

Abstract

The article, through the support of some emblematic case studies, describes some procedural lines of intervention that outline new strategies for the re-use and recovery of quarry landscapes. These, no longer perceived as “wounds” and “places of refusal”, are stabilized as territorial resources, common goods to be valued through the recognition of the underlying value and deep comprehension of these resources. The article identifies, through the projects examined, processes constituted by minimal but significant intervention.
