Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice
Project Id | 3356 |
Project Name | Molino Stucky, Italy |
Description | The Molino Stucky is one of the most impressive buildings in the center of Venice. The mill erected by G. Stucky had grown rapidly on a Neo-Gothic by the German architect Wullenkopf. Since its abandonment in 1955 the city of Venice had been investigating solutions for the site regeneration. The main obstacles were, beyond the financial investment, the alignment of the new ideas to the conservation bonds on the industrial conceptual design and on the structures and materials. The solution came from the re-privatization of the complex (originally private) and the public private partnership between the new owner and the municipality that consisted on some facilitations by the public part in favor of the public investments on public areas. The restoration project, thanks to the conservation approach by the architects and the support by the local and national authorities, gave value to the existing preservation bonds instead of considering them as restrictive, focusing on its authenticity. |
Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project | Referring to the main topics of CLIC, namely Adaptive Reuse, Circular Economy and Landscape, the Molino Stucky can be considered a reference case. In particular: 1 - Its adaptive reuse has been discussed in the city of Venice for 50 years, with many |
