Rigenerare la Valbisagno a Genova. Un workshop di progettazione per la riqualificazione dello stadio Ferraris

The paper reports a research work developed within the international Workshop "Redeveloping the stadium in the city: the Ferraris in Genoa", which explored the thesis that the sports facility, inserted in an urban fabric consolidated as the Marassi District, while considering the new needs and highlighting its potential as a multifunctional service within a system of contemporary public spaces, it can be a positive 'urban catalyst'. For the work on Luigi Ferraris, designed by Gregotti, the criterion of endogenous knowledge was applied as a guideline for the proposals of transformation, not only of the building, but also of the entire urban fabric in which it is inserted: an opportunity to trigger the debate on the "urban stadium" and issues related to history, identity, conservation and design, as an enrichment of wider urban functions.
