ADAPTIVE REUSE STRATEGIES FOR A REGENERATIVE DESIGN: A MULTI-METHODOLOGICAL DECISION-MAKING PROCESS FOR MONTALBANO JONICO

Abstract

The work presents the results of a multidisciplinary study aimed at responding to the requests of the Administration of Montalbano Jonico, a Municipality of the Metapontino Plain, in Basilicata Region, Southern Italy. The study aims to verify the potential directions of the transformation of the territory, considering the specificities of local resources and their adaptive capability to change and to build tangible and intangible network relationships, including users as an active part in guiding transformations and generating new values. The activation of an adaptive reuse strategy starts from the redevelopment and re-functionalisation of a historic building, the Casino Federici as a component of the complex matrix of the Montalbano Jonico territory and the Metapontino Plain, identifying an operational model that uses regenerative design as an opportunity to co-create possible futures.
