Il progetto di tesi mira a proporre una soluzione per il riuso di una ex-tessitura insediatasi nel 1880 a Costa Masnaga, un piccolo paese situato sul confine tra il distretto tessile lecchese e quello serico comasco. La strategia di riqualificazione si pone l’obiettivo di tutelare il patrimonio architettonico dell’insediamento industriale, ormai dismesso da decenni, attraverso il coinvolgimento di una committenza reale. Si tratta di Limonta s.p.a., altra azienda tessile costa masnaghese (sorta nel 1893) divenuta oggi una delle più importanti realtà produttive del settore, a livello internazionale. Limonta ha custodito negli anni un ingente patrimonio tessile storico e manifesta, oggi, il desiderio di renderlo fruibile. Le opportunità intrinseche a questa tesi sono quindi la valorizzazione di un patrimonio archeologico architettonico-industriale e al contempo l’affermazione di una forte identità aziendale. L’idea del “Limonta Museum” nasce dalla volontà di raccontare a tutti, non solo ad esperti del settore, l’evoluzione di un’attività e la sapienza produttiva della cultura tessile locale. Il progetto dispone spazi privati e pubblici pensati per ospitare attività lavorative, di ricerca e di svago, con fini didattici e culturali. Il design ha individuato negli intrecci tra trama e ordito, essenza stessa della tessitura, la metafora ideale per interpretare l’architettura preesistente dell’ex tessitura. Al visitatore viene offerto un percorso museale insolito, non basato sulla conoscenza passiva, tecnica e nozionistica dei macchinari o delle fasi di lavorazione, bensì sull’esperienza concreta dei prodotti finiti al fine di stimolare indirettamente la curiosità verso i processi, la storia e le tecniche produttive.

Abstract
The thesis project aims to propose a solution for the reuse of an old textile factory settled in 1880 in Costa Masnaga, a small town located between the textile district of Lecco and the silk district of Como. The reuse strategy has the ambition to protect the abandoned industrial architectural heritage through the involvement of a real client: Limonta S.p.A.. It is another important textile company, established in Costa Masnaga in 1893, that has become today one of the most important fabric manufacturer in the international textile scenario. Limonta has collected, over the years, an enormous historic textile heritage and now they are searching a way to make it public and accessible. The opportunities of this thesis project are both the enhancement of an architectural heritage, and the communication of a strong corporate identity. The “Limonta Museum” idea born from the desire to tell everyone, not just to experts, the knowledge of the local textile culture and the successful development of the brand’s production. The project is characterised by private and public spaces designed to accommodate work activities, research and recreation functions, with educational and cultural purposes. The design proposal has identified in the interlacing between warp and weft, essence of weaving, the perfect conceptual line guide for the architectural strategy. The result is an unusual museum, that offer to the visitor an active experience, not based on the passive knowledge of technical information, but based on the concrete experience of the textile products, that indirectly stimulate curiosity about history, processes and techniques.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
