Rustscapes. Consumed soils, abandoned places

In the vast "atlas" of abandoned places, RUSTSCAPES - or "rust landscapes" - are characterized as architectures and environments closely linked to water which, over time, due to various events, policies and practices, have generated a double deprivation. Built along river banks or coastal fringes, over the last few decades, on the one hand they have been abandoned - and therefore removed from access and use - and on the other they have led to an alteration and loss of environmental, landscape, cultural and collective.

Taking three different landscape and urban areas as case studies - such as abandoned textile industries, abandoned tourist villages and areas and artefacts linked to fishing activity - RUSTSCAPES aims to build a debate on the problem of land consumption in relation to abandoned places along coasts and rivers, with the aim of identifying possible hypotheses of design transformation.

The participation of the Service Responsible for the national environmental information system of ISPRA is expected
