DATA COLLECTION
DATA PROCESSING
Every place can be different for everyone, it’s the culture and meaning behind it that matters and makes it special and unique for every one. It is not only the place, it is also the experience.
As an architect I have to design the space in relation with local dynamics and necessity, trying to involve in to the process who will use this space.
DATA TESTING
HYPOTHESIS
Two main problems / opportunities:
AÂ too many diffuse initiatives, few connections
BÂ abandoned or partially used spaces
Two possible solution:
 A create a network: don’t dissipate energy
BÂ let people participate into an inclusive local society

ÈvVIVA la Nurra?  Is NurrAlive?
Please click on the image below to see the Social Analysis Video:
Starting from a social analysis of the region of Nurra, I decided to focus my studies on the hamlet of Santa Maria la Palma. It is the most populated place and I found a very interesting starting point to create a process of community collaboration.
I selected some existing initiative and proposed some ideas only after I spended many days there to try to know the place and the social dinamics.
The biggest downside that I found was the necessity of a public space to increase the social organized and spontaneous activities.
The goal will be to give them a new space, with functionality and quality. It will be possible only with their collaboration to give them the responsability and the management of it.
