Via Cadolini 26

Deindustrialisation and redevelopment in the city of Milan

The intervention in Via Cadolini is not only the demolition of a disused industrial building, but can be configured as an intervention of recovery and regeneration. The former Plasmon factory, which had in the fabric of Milan one of its focal points, was built in the late 1950s and represented, for decades, one of the most important production sites in northern Italy.

The area, spread over an area of just over 25,000 square meters, consists of four main buildings and will be the subject of a major and bold redevelopment. This operation, which will see the rise of new buildings purely for residential/commercial use, will bring with it multiple advantages: the recovery of an area now in disuse, without occupying new land, and the restitution of a large urban space to the city of Milan, while at the same time giving rise to a more livable and human-scale place.
