Italian Architecture: Projects, Journals & Ideas

19 Projects 12 Journals

About Discussions Projects19 Journals12

Italian architecture spans millennia of urban fabric, rural vernacular building, and monumental civic and religious work, and it remains a major reference for designers working on adaptive reuse and regional identity. Contemporary practice in Italy often engages directly with this inheritance, asking how existing structures and local building traditions can be extended, converted, or reinterpreted for current needs.

Member work under this topic examines the reuse of disappearing or underused buildings, including the reconversion of a former courthouse into sheltered housing and the reimagining of Aldo Rossi's Modena cemetery as a cultural hub. Other projects address vernacular rural houses and winery structures, as well as craft-based and artisanal connections to place.

BEYOND THE CITY OF THE DEAD Aldo Rossi Modena Cemetery Conversion

The Cemetery of Modena by Aldo Rossi is undoubtedly one of the most influential Italian icons of the last fifty years. Starting from this assumption, this research seeks to represent a possible solution for the actual emptying precess of Rossi's incomplete cemetery by converting it into a large scale cultural hub able to comply with the current city's needs.
