RE:INDUSTRY

From Footprints of Memory to Crafting Presence

Architecture has the ability to recover what cities leave behind not through imitation, but through transformation. RE:INUDUSTRY reimagines the former Ex Corradini industrial site in San Giovanni a Teduccio, Naples, as a community-focused environment for exhibition, artisan craft, education, and cultural exchange.
Through adaptive reuse, former spaces of mechanical production are transformed into places of creative production, shifting from an industry of manufacture to an industry of making. The project preserves the architectural traces of the site’s industrial heritage whilst introducing new interventions that support learning, public engagement, and contemporary creative practice. Existing structures, materials, and scars are retained as vessels of memory, allowing the history of labour and production to remain embedded within the renewed civic landscape.

Alongside the primary exhibition and workshop complex, a network of smaller interventions known as Creative Outlets reconnects the wider site to its existing ruins and natural landscape. These retreat spaces provide artists and makers with places for reflection, experimentation, and micro-exhibition, strengthening the relationship between creativity, community, and landscape.
