U Locu

Messina, Italy
2024

A new exhibition centre transforms the disused former Sanderson site in Tremestieri into an open collective place, reconnected to the city. Regeneration becomes an opportunity to return identity and public use to an abandoned industrial fragment.

An industrial place
becomes city again.

Spaces for exhibitions, meetings and events are organised as a permeable sequence. Large glazed surfaces, sheltered routes and public terraces establish a continuous relationship with the Strait, while a restrained material language connects industrial memory and new collective life.
