Park Associati. A Practice Based in Milan. A Resourceful Intelligence

The essay explores the work of Park Associati, a Milan-based interdisciplinary practice founded in 2000, focusing on its research-driven approach to circularity and urban mining in contemporary architecture. Through the analysis of the Resourceful Intelligence installation and related projects, the text examines strategies of selective deconstruction, material recovery, and reuse supported by digital mapping tools. By reframing construction waste as an active resource and the city as an evolving material archive, Park Associati proposes a design methodology that integrates technological innovation, heritage conservation, and sustainable transformation of the built environment.
