Il rovesciamento della piramide. Superiuso dei Termovalorizzatori di Colleferro | The reverse Pyramid. Superuse of Colleferro Incinerators

Industrial sites, repositories of memory, fi nd a new meaning as urban mines in which to redirect the design actions, at the diff erent scales of intervention, towards Zero Land Consumption in order to contribute, through the adoption of Zero Waste-Zero Energy strategies, to the European objectives of eco-compatibility, decarbonisation and circularity of the built environment, understood as a renewable resource in the perspective of a closedloop city. The case of Colleferro incinerators opens up new actions of intervention, in a sensitive and complex area, for the reuse of the existing building, defi ning new circularity of matter and energy. The methodology adopted in the project envisages an articulated approach, both from a strategic and technical point of view, in an attempt to identify complementary solutions to the complex problems identifi ed. In this sense, the themes of the soil and landscape were the guide for the design of the interventions, starting from the operational refl ection on the existing structures. The waste-to-energy plant, having completed the waste incinerator phase, becomes the very subject of the reuse of its waste components, which are valorised in an up-cycling process: the second life of the complex, obtained through selective demolition and superuse processes, constitutes the socially, environmentally and economically viable alternative.
