EVENT DESCRIPTION:
"Prison in the city" is an initiative promoted by the ADGI Association section. of Florence, Associazione Insieme, Ordine and Fondazione Architetti Firenze, in collaboration with Gruppo di studio Art. 24 and with the patronage of the Giovanni Michelucci Foundation. If prison is to promote the social reintegration of men and women, it must be designed in dialogue with the city. Some spaces should facilitate the creation and maintenance of family bonds.
