Abstract
PaesaggiSolidali – is in continuity with the the research entitled LA MORTE DEL MINOTAURO : i paesaggi ritrovati and the program regarding MESTIERI LEGALI for the Biodiversity Park of Rosarno ( RC ) , managed by Consorzio Macramè . The research laboratory Landscape_inProgress proposes an international study on the project of confiscated properties . These properties [ buildings , land ] have been confiscated under legal proceedings because of their ties to criminal activities . They are result of unclear financial resources and they were inhabited by figures that reject the principles of peaceful coexistence . Taking this in consideration , the goal of the research and the design experimentation is to realize a new map of architectural interventions and signs that will mark the aesthetic and social metamorphosis of the city and the places .. The crucial intention is transforming the epicenters of corruption and ugliness into positive examples for the community , establishing new relation between ethics and aesthetics . Some of the Calabrian landscapes are often coupled with the notion of violence and arrogance , distortion caused by Mafia . Rethinking them in their aesthetic and functional setup brings back the human , cultural and ethical strength to the new generations but also the sense of re – appropriation of the spaces . This reality is accenting the role that Architecture , Local Authorities and the University that might have in creating a new sensitivity and good practices inside the territories affected by these phenomenon .
