This lecture is a journey through territories of recycling.
Students of the 2011 Collaborative Design Studio, held by Alberto Ferlenga (Architectural Design), Chiara Ferro (Consarvation), Chiara Tessarolo (Technology), and Paola Viganò (Urban Design), explored a transect in Veneto Region, trying to identify objects to recycle, and proposing for each object a prototypical solution. Territory and landscape were considered as objects of recycling, too.
As Paola Viganò teaching team, we invited the students to reflect upon three main different kind of Recycling, 100% Recycling, Death and Life, Waste Recycling.
What emerged is an interesting relationship between different networks and different kind of life cycle and recycling, a relationship between porosity and easiness in recycling, and new landscapes of recycling.

The presentation focuses on the valley of the Stiemerbeek, a 16 km long creek crossing the highly and dispersedly urbanized area of Genk-Diepenbeek in Flanders, Belgium. Once at the heart of the region, the valley got neglected and abused during the 20th century. It got profoundly marked by successive waves of industrial and urban development. Today, however, the potential of the valley for recreational, ecological and (alternative) water management functions is being reconsidered. The challenge resides in a reappropriation of the landscape features inherited from the past to fullfil these new functions.
