Academic Papers

Reuse Italy invites scholars, professors, and PhD candidates to collaborate with us by drawing on our resources in their academic research. All of our materials are available free of charge to support scholarly studies and publications. The abandoned sites we document offer distinctive, compelling case studies for research across a wide range of disciplines.

Rooted in Italy’s rich cultural heritage, our collection of ruins opens up rich possibilities for academic exploration, from architectural analysis to historical inquiry. Whether you are conducting your own research or supervising students, we encourage you to consider building on our activities for academic papers, articles, theses, or larger research projects. Use the form below to request access to the materials for the ruin you are interested in.

We are also regularly looking for scholars to contribute essays to our books. All our publications carry an ISBN and a DOI, so your contribution will be fully citable and recognized in academic contexts. If you would like to write for one of our upcoming volumes, simply register through the form and we will get in touch when a suitable opportunity arises.

We believe that collaboration can both enrich academic research and deepen the wider understanding of cultural heritage. Take a look at our contests, workshops, publications, documentaries, and exhibitions to get a sense of our work, then think about a paper proposal. Fill out the form below with your details and your idea, and a member of our team will contact you to help bring it to life.

Master Thesis

We believe that the ruins of our cultural activities can be excellent study cases for University degree thesis.

This is why we invite worldwide students to adopt one of our ruins for both a master or a bachelor degree thesis. Connect with us through the form below to receive the materials regarding the selected ruin, free of charge.

For each ruin, we built up the most comprehensive set of 2D, 3D and BIM models to support the creation of a project, providing files compatible with the most commonly used software, with the goal of creating the optimal environment for project development and communication. We will provide you all the 2D drawings (.dxf and .dwg format), the 3D model (.dxf and .3ds format) and, when available, the BIM model (.ifc and .pla format), our vast collection of photos and the historical report.

Choose the ruin that you want to adopt as a study case for your thesis. You can have a look both in our previous contests and workshops.  Fill out the form below with your info, your university’s data, your supervisor and your research goals. A member of our team will connect with you.

Erasmus Internship

Reuse Italy supports the Erasmus +Traineeship program as it aligns with our core values of fostering cultural exchange. We believe in the transformative power of international experiences to cultivate a global perspective and collaborative spirit among young architects.

This is why we have opened an internship position for the 2025 in our office in Florence (Italy).

The internship will mainly involve the following activities: collaboration in organizing cultural events, creation of graphic materials, support activities during the summer workshop, involvement in the drafting of architectural drawings for our activities, surveying and photography.

We welcome applications from young architecture students from across Europe, eligible under the Erasmus program, who share our mission and wish to gain experience in organizing cultural activities focused on historical heritage.
