Abstract: This volume presents the outcomes of a research project carried out as part of two Master's theses in Architectural and Urban Design, discussed during the 2024/25 academic year, within the five-year single-cycle degree program (Arc5UE) and the postgraduate Master's program (MAPA/ACTA) at the University of Naples Federico II.The focus of the investigation is the public housing heritage in the Campania region, with particular attention to the former I.A.C.P. district in Santa Maria Capua Vetere. The thesis research addresses the design of the existing built environment as an opportunity to activate processes of urban and social regeneration. It proposes a multiscalar strategy which, from the urban scale down to the individual dwelling unit, aims to transform a marginal area into an active urban node and to respond to evolving forms of collective living.
