The challenge, together with the undergraduate students Federica, Federico, Marta and Tommaso, was to start from windows and other recycled materials and self-create bow windows and an isolated external wall and an attic to continue the redevelopment ofCasemate. Together with usCBS Windows and Doorswhich has provided know-how and material, which would have become waste, to demonstrate that even SMEs in the area can do research at certain levels and on crucial issues such as#circular economyand recovery of materials.
