Extractive Reuse
Fall 2023 ARC 408 Italy StudioAn already established use of the prompted site and within the town but a disconnect between all of the moments idiosyncratic to Rio Marina results in a series of diffused interventions on several notable sites, which were:
1. The Mine
2. The Path
3. The Platform
4. The town
The intervention intends to physically and abstractly connect each of the sites while also responding to their respective histories.
The ecological and economic history deeply rooted in mining prompts the revival of abandoned infrastructure to create a new material which is used to make several context-driven objects dispersed throughout these four sites.
