Abstract

This paper presents an urban project for Laterza, a small town in the province of Taranto, awarded with the first prize at the 15th edition of Europan, an international competition for young architects.
Laterza stands on the deepest of the canyons that characterizes the evocative landscape of the Parco delle Gravine, which, with its gorges and vast plateaus, shapes and draws the territory of the Tarantino Ionic arch.
The project aims to answer to the competition main topic (productive cities – changing metabolism and circular economy) by integrating the local heritage enhancement with climate resilience aspects, preserving a connection with the historical settlement system. The urban structure of cities in this territory was conceived and built as “hydraulic machine”, organized to manage, preserve and discard the most precious natural resource: water.
