Spazi Indecisi
Spazi Indecisi is a cultural association that reflects on the valorization and reuse of abandoned
buildings in Emilia-Romagna and more broadly in Italy.
Since 2010, Spazi Indecisi has been exploring and mapping abandoned and unused places. The
process, open to the participation of everyone, has led to the collection of a vast amount of material
and information, that describe the local territory from an unusual perspective.
Spazi Indecisi experiments processes of urban regeneration through cultural projects that transform
abandoned places in a field of investigation and research for artists, photographers, architects,
urban planners, landscape architects and citizens.
After years of cultural activities, the association now wants to become a facilitator of urban
regeneration paths experimenting new processes, a multidisciplinary research point on the issue of
abandonment, its management and its relationship with citizens.
The main projects created by Spazi Indecisi (IN LOCO, Totally Lost, Cicli Indecisi) have dealt with the
issue of abandonment in an innovative way by integrating urban exploration, photography, arts, and
architecture.
Spazi Indecisi is involved in the process for the regeneration of two previously abandoned places: an
old bus depot, EXATR, in partnership with the cultural association Città di Ebla, the Municipality of
Forlì and ATR, and a former aqueduct, Spinadello, with the Municipality of Forlimpopoli and a
network of local associations.
Architects, fundraisers, designers, engineers, social economists, educators, translators, photographers and video makers are part of Spazi Indecisi.
