Circularity Hub: Porto Marghera Regeneration
Porto Marghera, once a symbol of Italy's chemical industry, has now become a polluted industrial wasteland marked by decaying infrastructure and fragmented ecosystems. This design project proposes a 'regenerative framework' that does not shy away from this historical legacy, but instead integrates it into ecological processes, social activation, and site memory, creating a new urban district that serves both people and nature.
