Corviale 2018, Take Care of it

In the 70s of the 20th century, Mario Fiorentino built a very huge cultural and political building: Corviale. This experimental architecture proposed a new living spaces and a new relationship with the territory. It had positive and negative impacts on the social and cultural component of the place. The international competition “Rigenerare Corviale” asks to define a new image of Corviale starting from the common spaces that have been neglected. Since the beginning of the project, Corviale has been considered as a common good, which goes beyond the stateowned propriety and connects to the social and cultural meanings. The project tried to understand but also discuss the irremovable principles of this abstract architecture trying to contaminate with elements that define urban spaces. This design experience becomes a pretext to underline the value that some architectures of the 20th century imparted to the contemporary ones, but also the necessity to modify them to ensure the continuity of urban life.
