This paper presents the results of a research carried out in Belgium, France, Holland and United States about the destiny – foreseeable or possible – of heterotopias, a huge 19th and 20th centuries architectonic and cultural estate heritage.
The twentieth-century city was built through the addition of different settlements, which were strongly functionally defined and laid out. The heterotopias of deviation were built among the elements composing a “city of enclosures”.
The earth, beginning and ending of each thing, is saturated: even its underground is saturated and its layers have absorbed dross and wastes of all kinds. In metropolitan territories, there is a continuous production of waste.
To the larger and larger production of waste an answer is given by previsions that tend to consider re-cycling phases of different kind, flexible and long-lasting times and procedures, possibly first temporary and then permanent.
This research has helped defining a project proposed as an alternative to the II Stralcio Funzionale of the P.U.A. for the cemetery system of Poggioreale in Naples. The proposed alternative consists in extending the Parco Cimiteriale di Poggioreale into the former psychiatric asylum Leonardo Bianchi in Naples.
By adopting densifying, recycling, mixing functions as main criteria for a project related to a huge legacy of both material and immaterial kind of heritage, the “T’era Park” proposal aims to enhance the “notes from underground”.
