"Scan To Ar": Palermo

A conference presentation and publication ↗ stemmed from the Palermo workshop, which detailed a collaborative initiative between Federico La Russa and myself. Our goal was to facilitate a co-design workshop aimed at repurposing abandoned industrial heritage in Palermo. We employed rapid 3D site capture techniques and established a 3D library of design primitives, akin to Lego bricks. This approach enabled us to swiftly mock up and review architectural proposals with stakeholders over a single weekend, using Wikar, my augmented reality platform. After deliberations over the summer, the public space was opened in October 2022 ↗.
