Knowledge, reuse and enhancement of an industrial building: The former Cotonificio Fratelli Bosio in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino

Since its establishment, the industry has played an important role in societies by boosting their economic growth and job creation along with creating a sense of innovation. It reflected the progress of science and technology in the community and helped create its identity. However, several industrial sites exist but are abandoned long ago or are recently deserted. Today, this industrial heritage has become an important tool that can be used to improve the cultural revival of towns, cities and territories and for urban regeneration through its rehabilitation. It enhanced the idea of developing a community by evolving the cultural heritage within the industrial achievements and to reimburse it to the people as part of a collective culture. The regeneration of industrial buildings and sites must link the conservation of the structure along with the advancement of the living conditions of the inhabitants that surrounds them.
