Rigenerazione dell’area dell’ex fabbrica tessile Gulì a Palermo

The industrial activity of Palermo, despite having lived a rather short prosperous period, has left traces that are well recognizable and identifiable within the urban fabric, with architectural artefacts of considerable importance for design quality and size.The former Gulì textile factory is an interesting complex both from the architectural point of view and its urban location, very close to significant cultural interest poles. The study, conducted at the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo, proposes a regeneration intervention that involves not only the building artifacts present but the entire area and its transformation into a new district center, a permeable plant open to the city where the public space becomes a meeting, knowledge and daily life place.
