Patrimonio plástico: Decision-making process, for the re-use of an industrial architecture in montevideo

Abstract

This project is based on a research carried out between the Departments of Architecture in University Federico II in Naples and University of the Republic in Montevideo. The research is focused on the idea of re-using as a solution to trigger synergetic mechanisms among different entities and identities of the urbanscape. The core element of the study is Patrimonio Plástico, a decision-making process for the re-use of an industrial architecture, which deals with recycling waste and materials, such as plastic, containers, and abandoned spaces in the city. This multidisciplinary and multiscalar process translates into actions some targets of the Agenda 2030 SDGs, on a global scale, as well as the objectives expressed by different social groups at a local level, in order to identify the most suitable project, whose strategy has been assessed as economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
