co/Auletta - your ideas live here

co/A is both an open contest and a workshop to collect ideas and contributions aimed at the transformation of the Municipality of Auletta – a small town located in the Campania region of Italy that fell victim to the devastation of the 1980 Irpinia earthquake. The goal of the contest is to select the best ideas, design teams, and participants for Auletta’s future development and transformation at both the local and regional level.

Auletta’s urban regeneration process has three main stages: an (1) international ideas contest which results will be the basis of a (2) workshop in auletta involving selected proposals, stakeholders, local administration, that will define final rankings. These results will be used as materials for a (3) executive design phase for the construction of a public tender for the implementation of the urban ruins park.

A project sponsored by Fondazione MIDA, municipality of Aletta, coordinated by RENA (Rete per l’Eccellenza Nazionale). RENA asked the partnership of snark – space making for the design of this transformation process.
