JUST ACCEPTED
Since n. 24/2022, TECHNE Journal provides for the possibility of making the articles in the immediately issue available after their acceptance through the double-blind review phase, by publishing them in the form of Just Accepted Article. This method, already practiced by numerous scientific journals, allows an additional and free service for the Authors as well as for the entire scientific community, as it significantly accelerates the dissemination of contributions (with a fully citable format-DOI-Digital Object Identifier) compared to the longer times of publication of the complete issue. To this end, after the explicit authorization of the Authors, the Editorial Board selects from among the articles accepted in the review phase those that have not received any judgment of insufficiency. Just Accepted articles are published online 2-3 days after their acceptance, as received by the Author, in the form of PDF documents accompanied by HTML abstracts.
Each Just Accepted Article has a header, online publication date, article ID and Digital Object Identifier (DOI), and watermarks "Just Accepted Article" on each page. The DOI will also remain unchanged for the final article published in the final issue.
Not being in the final version, the Just Accepted articles are removed from the FUP-TECHNE Journals website at the time of the online publication of the definitive article.
After being published as Just Accepted, the article follows the normal production process (editorial revision, proofreading of the English language, layout, revision of the layout draft, online publication, revision before printing of the issue).

Common values for common goods: a circular regeneration model for active citizenship
Francesca Ciampa1, Martina Bosone1
1 Department of Architecture, University of Naples Federico II, Italy
Abstract
Regenerating cultural heritage implies adopting a systemic and multi-scalar approach capable of considering the characteristics and flows of relations between the different components of the system. The regeneration project can represent a circular strategy to reconnect people and places, generating and regenerating material and immaterial values of cultural heritage as a 'common good'. The research proposes a circular and participatory regeneration model, validated through an evaluative framework, to support decision-making and to assess the multidimensional impacts of reuse, redevelopment, maintenance and management practices of the commons, at all stages of the recovery project, and with respect to emerging instances and criteria adopted in existing policies.

Design of urban spaces and the connections with sport
Martina Corti1, Aurora Piluso1, Diletta Struzziero1, Stefano Follesa1
1Dipartimento di Architettura (DIDA), Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italia
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the connections sport-Urban Regeneration and the role that these connections can have in the communities of the cities. The promotion of physical activity within urban areas is today a driving force for economic and social development, and it takes part in the fragile conditions of cities. Design, as a discipline of connection between the active components of these transformations, becomes an instrument of inclusion. In the promotion of physical activity and a diversified community commitment, the interaction between people and urban space becomes central; the paper investigates practices and tools of the discipline in the relationship between urban spaces-sport practices and how this relationship leads communities to open up new development opportunities

Confiscated property from illegality to common good: requirements for a necessary resignification

Abstract
The property confiscated from organised crime represents the outcome of a particular commoning: Italian law provides for a primary compensatory function, realized in the final destination of their use for collective, institutional, or social purposes. Despite the critical management issues which prolong the allocation process, the strong symbolic value is enriched by the significance of compensation for the mafia oppression that certain territories suffer. In addition, confiscated properties represent a potential resource for the territory from an economic point of view, capable of supporting job opportunities and enhancing useful services and activities for the community involved. The resignification of confiscated property requires a specific focus on the different phases of the interventions. It is not just a question of a mere change of legal status or intended use but of a profound reorganization of the architectural, material, technological, environmental, and managerial characteristics, which is consequent and consistent with the interweaving of legal, social cultural and environmental aspects triggered by the confiscation.

Green Connections: Adaptive, Integrated, and Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Historic Centers
Danila Longo1, Rossella Roversi 1,Martina Massari 1, Kristian Fabbri1, Riccardo Mercuri1
1 Department of Architecture, Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, Italy
Abstract
Acting with adaptation and mitigation actions, through nature-based solutions, fosters the ecological transition process, necessary to face the challenges of climate change. However, these interventions are often discontinuous and disconnected, especially within dense and delicate urban fabrics such as historic centres. The research proposes a multi-scalar methodological approach aimed at defining an integrated design tool to improve the microclimatic well-being, accessibility and aesthetic quality of open spaces located in consolidated urban environments. Through the synergy between natural, technological and social components, the aim is to create replicable minimum intervention units, designed to foster democratic and ecosystemic connections.

Strategy of user-driven re-design for inclusivity: Schuster Park in Rome
Antonio Magarò1, Massimo Mariani1, Luca Trulli1
1Dipartimento di Architettura, Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Italia
Abstract
The paper exposes the results of a research carried out by the Department of Architecture of Roma Tre University, about user-driven re-design of public spaces, with the aim of transforming them in accessible and inclusive public spaces. Activities are related to the case of Schuster Park in Rome, whose re-functionalization in terms of accessibility and inclusiveness is currently being planned. With this target, the research team, during the support phase for a preliminary feasibility study, experimented with a recursive participatory model, which can also be applied to other contexts related to public spaces.

Constructing with ruin. José Ignacio Linazasoro: buildings for marginalized places in Madrid
Nicola Panzini1
1 Department of Architecture, Construction and Design, Polytechnic University of Bari
Abstract
Spain’s large cities have long suffered from decay and crime in the central areas and the impoverishment and depopulation of the smaller towns located in the crown. Madrid represents an example of this. The Lavapiés neighborhood was a site of rampant unauthorized building practices, then a shelter for sub-Saharan migrants, and is now among the best known to the tourist masses, who, however, mask its delinquency and social deterioration. On the contrary, the rural hamlet of Valdemaqueda has shrunk to its current number of six hundred inhabitants. Its economy is limited to religious pilgrimages, thus risking the disappearance of the local community. José Ignacio Linazasoro (1947), a Spanish architect living and working in Madrid and winner of the International Brick Award and the Piranesi Prix de Rome, took on the task of ‘healing’ the Lavapiés neighborhood and the Valdemaqueda hamlet through the integrated construction of two ruins with strong civic value.

The metamorphosis of confiscated assets into public heritage
Marina Tornatora 1, Ottavio Amaro1
1Department of Architecture and Territory - dArTe, Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, Italy
Abstract
The research, as result of an agreement with the Calabria Region, aims to consolidate a corpus of investigations developed over the years by the Landscape_inProgress Laboratory, which examines the forms produced by criminal actions in urban transformation processes by studying property confiscated from the mafias. The investigation proposes a different approach to provide the opportunity to develop strategies for urban and architectural regeneration of cities, bringing out a "third public heritage" to be "re-injected" into urban and territorial policies. A matter to be "rewritten" for new life cycles. The "Impronte a Sud_WelfareLab" project, implemented in Reggio Calabria for Consorzio Macramè on a confiscated asset, is a best practice that combines management, functional, and urban processes with an aesthetic and architectural metamorphosis

Abstract
The promotion of participatory processes in initiatives such as Energy Communities (ECs) can prompt behavioral change in ecological transition. The article presents the experience conducted by the Municipality of Cesena and the University in the EN-ACTION project, which aimed to increase awareness among students and citizens about energy transition through initiatives involving various stakeholders. The first section outlines the state of the art on energy citizenship and universities in ecological transition; the methodological section illustrates the participatory approach of EN-ACTION; the third describes its results. The conclusions emphasize the centrality of active citizenship in transition and the role of the public in the shared management of energy.

Common Goods, Cities, Territories: processes for the reactivation of disused public assets
Maria Pilar Vettori1,
1 Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Italia
Abstract
The research outlined in the paper aims to define tools and protocols to guide the functionalization of a disused public complex into an educational hub, in line with the objectives of a regional program for funding and activating urban and social regeneration actions. Within this framework, the reconsideration of large historic containers becomes an opportunity to enhance social and educational services in the context. The research aims to define guidelines and programmatic, meta-design, and design directions for the integration of new functionalities and the consequent reactivation of the area, reintegrating it into the network of identity-based “common goods” of the city
