The idea for the project is the insertion of houses to reactivate the building. This operation involves prosthetic work and suturing of wounds, since it entails the mission of maintaining the memory of the existing building and the new interactions in harmonic tension, thanks to the revaluation of the internal public space. The Intervention includes the restoration of the building’s façade, the improvement of basic services, and the incorporation of exposed materials such as brick for the new sectors.
