This project is now finalist for the category “Preserved and transformed cultural heritage“ in the New European Bauhaus Prizes 2021. This study aims at investigating the viability of adaptive reuse of the Meridiana building situated inside grounds of Castellazzo degli Arconati, located in Bollate, Italy. The initial study of the site has resulted in the observations like the lack of lighting, instability of the structural members as well as a narrow vestibule for entrance, leading us to develop a strategy for intervention and facilitating the reuse of the east end of the Meridiana, which has been designated as the primary point of access. The fundamental point of the project is the creation of a tension between old and new. The project is based on a process of subtraction, exposure and addition that has guided us in the creation of a project as versatile as respectful of the existing site. The functional activation process of the Meridiana was developed in conjunction with an aesthetic characterization linked to the redevelopment of the building both from a functional and aesthetic point of view.
