From a symbol of decline to a model of urban regeneration
Failing to follow the original idea of the project, the lack of management of the spaces, and the degradation of the complex over the decades, impacted directly on the residents loss of meaningful relationships with the urban context surrounding Corviale. But while some consider the building a concrete monster that should be demolished, others see in its history, and essence, a great potential for urban transformation.
For example, the
Immaginare Corviale project carried out between 2003 and 2005, operated as a kind of multidisciplinary laboratory that sought to promote reconciliation with an interrupted history through the participation of the inhabitants. Besides this initiative, there are also many other intervention proposals resulting from competitions over the years, such as the Rigenerare Corviale International Competition and the Corviale Accomplished Workshop, just to name a few.
