How is the alpine urban countryside modified by widespread industrial production? How can the widespread production areas be reinforced as a resilient system into complex orographic contexts? What design devices can be used to rethink the existing situations? The critical signs deposited in the low and medium mountain zones are the most sensitive testing ground, which requires more effort, not to continue to cancel or exploit it, but, on the contrary, to be able to return it repaired at the mountain as a unitary “architecture”. This means working on unpleasant, insignificant or unrecognized parts that escape or are conceptually invisible to the common perceptive imagery. The knowledge of spaces, the reinterpretation of relationships with the lands morphology, the reading of critical environmental issues, discover strategies, rules and design practices to rethink a more performing, efficient, resilient cohabitation where the widespread industrial production areas can be rethought as “machines” to produce ecologies and repair landscapes.
