The starting point of the project was very complex, in a chaotic urban and landscape context, that was even degraded. The intervention area was settled in the end of 1800, to host a factory of explosive materials for civil uses related to the nearby marble caves, and then started the production of military bullets. At the end of the two world wars, the site became an allotment for touristic activities. The construction of a highway that runs parallel to the coastline, has clamped the inhabited centre between two axes, interrupting the physical and visual relationship with the agricultural areas situated behind the dwellings.
