Sumario:The 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino marked a pivotal moment in the city’s urban history, catalyzing transformation and reshaping its urban identity. While the event successfully showcased Torino to the world, many of the Olympic venues and infrastructures left behind remain underutilized and disconnected from the broader city fabric. This dissertation, titled "Bridging Torino: Reconnecting 2006 Olympic Sites with the City’s Urban Landscape," seeks to address the legacy of the 2006 Olympics by exploring adaptive reuse, urban regeneration, and connectivity strategies for these dispersed sites, with a particular focus on the abandoned ex Moi Arcade. The thesis aims to reimagine these Olympic venues, not as isolated remnants of a past event, but as active nodes within the city’s evolving urban landscape. By investigating the adaptive reuse potential of the ex Moi Arcade and proposing strategies to link the dispersed Olympic sites, this research envisions a new future for these spaces that serves both the local community and the city as a whole. The goal is to transform the fragmented legacy of the Olympics into a cohesive, vibrant network of public spaces and hubs, contributing to the regeneration of surrounding neighborhoods and fostering a stronger connection between different parts of Torino.
