There is a new legacy: Become a notorious regeneration project to give life to the city’s new neighborhood through the creative energy of design, art, fashion, current craftsmanship with far-fetched lines from the highest quality past and many other initiatives to present a new contemporary destination to the city of the Renaissance.
A new historic center for the city, the space was reborn, reinvented, is a new place where it will be possible to come together to create, live, mix and be inspired.
In addition to having co-working spaces, studios, artist residences, hotel, brewery and many other novelties, schools such as the prestigious @polimodafirenze and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze and the IME Institute of excellence of the louis vuitton moet hennessy group will be present.
A significant point will be the NAM – Not a Museum, a contemporary art program to align the principle of interdisciplinarity between art, community, relationships, nature and science.
The Factory with its responsible guideline wants to preserve the historical and magnificent past of this city, but also to revive a look at the new, the contemporary, where the creators of today and tomorrow, together can present themselves to the world.
This dialogue between the past and the future will transform the city, a new spirit, a new urban centre for Florence.
Through a functional mix between original and newly built buildings, transformação and rebirth rather than demolition and reconstruction, nothing is discarded, everything is regeneration. Everything is reborn: Materials, Plants and Culture!
With a very sustainable vision what would already be expected, but sustainable creativity, there is also a new way of thinking about the circular economy.
Sustainability and nature are integral parts of this place. It’sa breath of fresh air for all those who pass through here. And thousands of trees will be planted inside the complex.
Its concepts and commitments are:
- Systematic reduction of environmental impact;
- Use of new technologies;
- Transition from alternatives to new forms of transport;
- District heating;
- Geometric cooling;
- Collections and reuse of rainwater among others…
A look that also shows us that “slow travel” may become part of this process. A place open to all and that can connect with the world, a world of new experiences, revitalizing and honoring the past to realign a new way of creating, creating and thinking together
Part of the factory is already open and has some artists in their workshops and studios elaborating their artistic creations, fashion, design and gastronomy. The final project of the work will be delivered in mid-2022. Let’s follow up.
This regeneration is giving a new lymph to Florence, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
