Abstract
Nuclear science and technology have prompted remarkable advancements in medicine, electricity production, and other essential industries. However, like many other human endeavors, such activities generate hazardous by-products, particularly, nuclear waste. Due to its relatively long isolation period which ranges from a hundred to thousands of years, nuclear waste poses a challenging issue to tackle. In Italy, a National Repository for very low- and low-level nuclear waste is to be developed by SOGIN; as such, establishing a facility to be operated and controlled for about 350 years. This thesis aims to address the repository not only as a technical infrastructure, but also as a layer of memory subject to reinterpretation over time, through utilizing time as design tool and embracing entropy as an inevitable condition.
The proposal targets the instructive memory through an ordered, conserved archive center on one hand and marks the subjective memory by creating a “Third Landscape” that engages with decay, ambiguity and uncertainness on the other hand
