【 摘 要 】

“Leonardo Bianchi” hospital provided us with the occasion to reflect on the value and importance of a specific form of abandoned cultural heritage and its remembrance within the modern, contemporary city. The specific issue of this project, a “transformation of something already existing”, was discussed trying to preserve – in relation to Rem Koolhaas’ provocative theoretic positions – the architectural, typological, structural and functional features of the built environment, which determine the uniqueness of the identity of this heritage in decay. In a context of processual logic and through specific actions, we obtained a plausible transformation that could establish a relation among spaces and, at the same time, preserve connections to memory and architectural features, thus activating modifying dynamics on different scales. Its position at the outskirts of the city, the particularly insurmountable nature of the enclosures, the functional complexity of the area and its connection to the surrounding environment, the whole structure, the relation between open and closed spaces, the rhythm and repetition of all its elements, the internal sequences and the hierarchy of spaces: all these factors, together, create the identity of a legacy which is given new meanings in this dissertation.
