ZERO · attrezzi condivisi
ZERO is Palermo's first Library of Things: instead of buying, you borrow.
OngoingCoworking neu [nòi]
neu [nòi]'s coworking is the project everything else grew out of: since 2012, in the former stables of Palazzo Castrofilippo, in the heart of the Kalsa, we've been sharing desks, time and mutual care. We don't rent workstations — we build relational capital through everyday work, a shared kitchen, and do-ocracy.

- Via Alloro 64, Palermo — former stables of Palazzo Castrofilippo (18th century), Kalsa district
OngoingEducazione Digitale e Manualità
Four paths bringing together hands-on making and digital awareness: Build & Bond teaches wood self-building and electrical circuits, Digital Dojo supported teens at risk of dropping out of school, Arduino Club is an informal biweekly workshop, and with Teatro Atlante we build the theatre's own seating stands alongside its students.

CompletedPercorsi Palermo · microinterventi di ricucitura del tessuto urbano
Percorsi Palermo is the urban planning project through which, in 2012, we proposed three thematic pedestrian routes to reweave Palermo's historic centre — a markets route, a museums route, a greenery route — linking physical space to a participatory virtual space. A public survey collected 280 responses, confirming that 94% of respondents wanted more pedestrian space.
