What was it, what is it, what can a farmhouse be today? Is it allowed to these punctual and widespread entities to return in being central along the process of sustainable development of the Po Valley? Is it possible to re-establish a typology so rooted, formally and culturally, in the collective imagination and tradition?
Converting a court, re-converting, re-establishing a place, a community. Fighting and slowing down the run to the city, through a widespread lifestyle based on tradition looking, at contemporary life, in continuous evolution. Where singularity and its value act as catalysts, attracting interest on a subject in constant and progressive abandonment. Not the simple recovery, not an exercise in form, not a development plan, but an integrated intervention firm in Architecture. What would happen if the roles between city and countryside were reversed? If these valuable artefacts of the territory became the centers and hubs of agricultural, social, cultural and technological innovation.
