The Bargellino Plug & Play proposal for the urban regeneration of the Bargellino area acts as a set of management software from which the user can draw upon and benefit from an integrated system of logistics, service and quality. Designed by Ciclostile Architettura, the expression “plug and play” is used in programming language with reference to technologies that can be put into use in an hardware system without any specific installation procedure by the user. More images and architects’ description after the break.

Bargellino appears as an hardware system, characterized by a very particular territorial and strategic condition, being part of the Bologna’s Aerotropolis. Bargellino’s users are people who, logging into its area even if just for a short period, decide to live or work in its system. So a shared requalification process starts and every actor or user can choose his level of participation within the overall strategy defined.

The contest’s main aim is the definition of a hypothesis of arrangement of the territorial quadrant of Bargellino, borrowed by the conditionings and the chances come by the closeness of the airport and the contiguity with the main systems of transport, but also from the special and favorable position of the productive ambit in relation to the county town.
