A journey through pictures, between the arcades of piazza Palazzo di Città and Urban Lab headquarters (ex Urban Center Metropolitano), in spaces suspended between past and present, to explore and reflect on the possible new use of some of the city’s main buildings and outdoor areas waiting to be redeveloped. 

Waiting spaces are dismissed places that are to be regenerated and transformed – factories, buildings, collective equipment, warehouses, where the transformation process is yet to start or has just started or stopped.

Bruna Biamino’s pictures represent a collection that is not meant to be exhaustive, but gives us the opportunity to identify the key features and raise open questions on a material heritage often affected by transformation ideas that were too superficial, incapable of rooting in those spaces. 

The outdoor exhibition itinerary, under the arcades of piazza Palazzo di Città, is taken and expanded inside Urban Lab according to four main themes: factories, ancient architecture, heritage of the 20th century, and barracks. Cues to prompt reflection on the possible ways to reuse these spaces, often unexpectedly, temporarily, or in an emergency, considering the new ways the city can be lived and used.
