Demalling. Una risposta alla dismissione commerciale-A response to the demise of retail buildings. Ediz. bilingue: DEMALLING Una risposta alla dismissione commerciale A response to the demise of retail buildings Gabriele Cavoto si è laureato in Architettura al Politecnico di Torino nel 2012. Ha studiato e lavorato in Italia e all'estero, ha partecipato ad attività didattiche presso il Politecnico di Torino e ha collaborato con il laboratorio Urb&Com del Politecnico di Milano. La sua ricerca si concentra sul fenomeno della dismissione delle grandi strutture commerciali e sui possibili interventi di recupero e trasformazione in risposta a questa tendenza, con particolare attenzione al contesto italiano.

Urb&Com at Politecnico of Milan. His research concerns the decline of large-scale retail sites and the interventions for responding to this trend, with special focus on the Italian context. Negli Stati Uniti le strutture della grande distribuzione - shopping malls, big box stores e strip malls - sono interessate, da oltre due decenni, da importanti fenomeni di fallimento e dismissione. Questi luoghi, un tempo centrali nelle logiche del consumo delle metropoli americane e ora abbandonati, testimoniano il breve ciclo di vita degli edifici del commercio e delle attività in essi ospitate. Tuttavia, molte di queste strutture sono già state teatro di trasformazioni architettoniche e urbane piuttosto interessanti, interventi detti di demalling, che hanno riattivato gli spazi dismessi con funzioni e usi

In the United States, retail facilities - shopping malls, big box stores and strip malls - have been affected for more than two decades by major failures and decommissioning. These places, once central to the logic of the consumption of American metropolises and now abandoned, testify to the short life cycle of the buildings of commerce and the activities housed in them. However, many of these structures have already been the scene of rather interesting architectural and urban transformations, so-called demalling interventions, which have reactivated disused spaces with functions and uses
