A VALUABLE COLLECTION OF THINGS

The focus is on the theme of valorizing the resources present in abandoned sites, analyzing how many elements and objects are an intellectual, material and economic capital. In this regard, reuse is understood as a fundamental practice today for the world of design and architecture, an operation capable of preserving and producing value. “A valuable collection of things” is a magnifying glass on a rich and fascinating place that people tend to see and remember through its macro parts but that manifests a great variety and value even in its smallest details and in the most ordinary elements for those who take a closer look. An inventory of objects found during explorations throughout the Ex Macello area covers the walls and floor of a room in one of the buildings of the site. A carpet and a wallpaper composed of abstract patterns of shapes and colors in which you can appreciate the qualities of the objects themselves and in front of which can be be pushed to question their present and future meaning.
