Short Biography

Environmental engineer specialized in reclamation and monitoring of polluted sites. Having worked as a design engineer in a consulting firm, I gained a high level of technical/commercial knowledge, with roles of responsibility for projects throughout Italy and every phase of the project: reclamation design, offer formulation, workers supervision and management on site, customers management. Interested in Research&Development I became a researcher. The topics of my research are: integration of reclamation processes in the architectural restoration design, monitoring and modeling of biogas emissions into the atmosphere

Abandoned industrial sites are generally characterized by soil and subsoil contamination. The paradigm currently employed for their remediation is “tabula rasa”, i.e., remediation of the entire site before its repurpose. However, this method is not economically, socially, or technologically sustainable: it delays the reuse of large areas, often well-connected to infrastructures, whose reuse may prevent further soil consumption. A possible solution to this problem is the application of adaptive reuse principles. This study, conducted at FULL (Future Urban Legacy Lab) in Politecnico di Torino, presents an interdisciplinary approach to spatialize, visualize, and manage interactions between reclamation and urban design for the transformation of contaminated urban areas. The core is based on a decision support parametric toolkit, named AdRem, developed to compare available remediation techniques and schematic urban design solutions. AdRem uses a 3D modeling interface and VPL scripting. Required input data are a geometric description of the site, data on the contamination status, viable remediation techniques, and associated features, and schematic urban design recommendations. A filtering process selects the techniques compatible with the site use foreseen. The output is an optimized remediation and reuse plan that can support an interdisciplinary discussion on possible site regeneration options.
