Decoding Spaces and Places: Cultural Hackerage
Each place is defined by a unique cultural identity, the result of a stratification of geographical, climatic, social, and historical factors. These elements can be read as data: information that, when extracted and reworked, allows for the decoding of the context and the generation of new spatial configurations. The project proposes an approach that likens the analysis of the territory to a creative and conscious “hacking” of space, transforming the collection of environmental, technical, and cultural parameters into a design tool. Data thus becomes key to critically understanding places, addressing real issues, and developing integrated and sustainable architectural solutions. The goal is to recognize in the traces of the past an active potential, capable of guiding the project toward more conscious and responsible futures.
