This paper presents a proposal for the adaptive reuse of a complex of industrial buildings in Prato, in order to convert them into collaborative housing communities, developed under the Research Project of National Interest (PRIN) entitled COntemporary MOdels of CO-living for "the three human ages". The project aims to identify intervention strategies that may be replicated in similar contexts and that address the growing issue of the abandonment of areas once dedicated to production. The project is based on the recognition of the documentary value of ‘minor’ industrial buildings, and considers them as part of the cultural heritage. Their preservation, together with a typological reinterpretation aimed at residential use, transforms the industrial landscape into an urban one.
