The third shortlist project is ➡The Upcycling Hub: New Spatialities for the Circular Cities by Alberto Roncelli and Nicole Vetttore (IT / CH)

🏭🍃New warehouses and factories for storing and repurposing building components are developing as essential spaces of the city's circular economy network.

🏭🍃The Upcycling Hub investigates the possibility of extending the function of these
places beyond their logistical purpose, towards a role as social aggregators and local marketplaces. The project aims to make the circular economy process visible, accessible and desirable through an architecture that supports not only networks of things, but also networks of people.

👉A round of applause for the second shortlist project of : The Grafted City by Alberto Roncelli (IT)

♻️“The future city, like its economy, cannot afford leftovers.”♻️

The project proposes a critical reading of the unnamed spaces of the contemporary city - the leftovers - investigating a model of urban densification to support future sustainable living. In particular, the Grafted City builds its landscape by reclaiming underused spaces and promoting the creation of a network of lightweight architectural experiments to serve, test and iterate new models of sustainability. The project aims to illustrate a new vocabulary for resilient urban architecture.

➡️Stay tuned for the upcoming projects we’ll be sharing!
