Abstract

The discipline of modern architectural conservation, within the field of post-war industrial heritage in Italy, continues to raise numerous questions, both methodological and design-related. Knowledge of this heritage remains only partially explored: some studies are limited to the diagnostic investigation and more rarely develop proposals for intervention. In the Campania region, the many abandoned factories represent an opportunity to test design strategies and integrated multiscalar visions. Through a preliminary overview of international practices and processes of adaptive reuse, this research seeks to outline possible approaches to intervention on selected examples by renowned authors in Campania: the Siag factory by Angelo Mangiarotti (1962), the former Dairy Factory by Luigi Cosenza (1968), and the former Olivetti plant (1972) by Marco Zanuso and Eduardo Vittoria. The aim is to refocus attention on conservation design in this field, fostering dialogue with other design disciplines.
