Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project description
Project Id 4025
Project Name Spazio Kor, Italy
Description Spazio KOR returns to the city a closed, old, deconsecrated baroque church and transformed it in open, restored, multidisciplinary performing space. The church, after many non-religious uses, was converted into a fully equipped theatre in 2011 and since 2016 is managed by our organization, CRAFT Association. Using innovative theatre and contemporary art, the cultural project, called Spazio Kor, aims to involve the community into a cultural experience and an audience engagement approach. The theatre season is composed by 30 shows per year, 100 events, everyday opening, 1500 spectators and more than 15.000 people entering the Space since the opening.
