AREA OF INTERVENTION
The workshop will place particular emphasis on:
- District of Saint Lucia
Specific area: The district "Saint Lucia" is in the northern part of the historical centre of Cosenza, occupying the entire slope going down to the confluence of the rivers. It is characterized by an urban fabric--dense and spaced out with narrow passages. The only unoccupied spaces are empty footprints left by the collapse of old buildings.
Principal activities and participatory elements: The neighbourhood has a strong residential vocation and hosts a significant part of the weaker sections of the population. Ritual buildings represent the main architectural features.
- High School Bernardino Telesio
Specific area: The area is one of the most valuable elements of the entire old town. Some of the most important routes of the old town criss-cross this area and are lined by buildings of significant historical and architectural value. The building fabric is interspersed with numerous public and private gardens.
Principal activities and participatory elements: In addition to residential use, activities of the tertiary sector can also be found in the area.
