“Rebuilding the Edge” by LIMINAL takes as its point of departure the depopulation of small centers in Italy over the last century, a social reality with a direct impact on the built environment and consequences for citizens, local and national. The project focuses on the redevelopment of the Sulmona-Carpinone rail line in the region of Abruzzo and what this means for depopulating centers along it. By studying this event at various scales — national, territorial and local — “Rebuilding the Edge” explores how architecture can contribute to issues usually tackled by non-spatial thinkers, such as politicians, policymakers and economists. In this effort, the project questions architecture’s research methodologies, its relationship to social responsibilities, and the nature of the design process.
