The “common line for the reconstruction” project demonstrates a comprehensive reflection over the impact brought about by war and destruction in a fragile agricultural territory. An understanding of the environmental challenges that the area is facing drive architectural design, typological studies and urban morphology towards the regenerative process of the area. The wall of infrastructure acts as a water device, as a backbone for progressive urban growth, and as a metaphor of the new life that it will contribute to generate. Although addressing a site specific solution, the project promotes a replicable and scalable solution for other territories affected by water scarcity and lack of water distribution network, demonstrating a rewarding balance of innovation, environmental awareness and architectural quality.
