INSIDE OUT. Le eterotopie di deviazione come inattesi modelli per il progetto dopo la pandemia

The pandemic crisis has inverted our perception of spaces: desirable environments, such as houses or public space, have become heterotopias, while traditionally heterotopic places have appeared less hostile, because they are able to respond to the new pandemic needs. The article investigates the lesson of individual and collective living in historical prisons, asylums and leper hospitals, highlighting their urban and architectural characteristics and identifying elements of analogy with contemporary collective living systems, with the aim of defining a repertoire of solutions for the contemporary project.
