Operation Flow
Bepi Povia is a renowned Italian interior designer and garden designer, known for creating the concept of Roots Design on South Italy, Puglia. This innovative style originates in Puglia and is deeply inspired by local craftsmanship and traditions rooted in the Puglian territory. The Auraterrae embraces an entire philosophy centered on cultural roots, the land, and authentic experiences.
Research
Every part of the Histric Building is a careful recovery of what already existed, including the vegetable gardens in the ancient walls, the church, the reception areas and the refectory. The oldest historical elements found have been preserved, even where they are not very functional, but express great historical value. Some elements are no longer found today, unfortunately. In the face of the many epigraphs that we have found on the masseria and cleaned so that every traveler could read and interpret them according to their own sensitivity, many others have been lost; I think of the stone inscription that was located above the entrance to the garden of the officinal herbs that was removed over time as well as other tombstones that told the history of the place.
Inspiration
Architecture can empower local communities by actively involving them in the design and construction process. This approach ensures that projects reflect the needs and aspirations of the community, promoting local pride and social cohesion.
