Born on the remains of a building seized from the mafia, La Casa dei Mandarini will be returned to the community as a Cultural Center. Located in Santa Maria Imbaro, in the central-southern region of Abruzzo, in Italy, the project is by LAP Architettura. It is a place of social inclusion and a safe space for people living in marginal conditions. It supports female and generational empowerment. It promotes an anti-violence culture and fights all forms of discrimination.
