AB This paper seeks to extend research on the role of informal place-making practices in spatial planning andcommunity development through an examination of their role in accommodating alternative or innovativeuses in contrast to profit-driven projects. The research does so through the study of unauthorized interventionsin derelict army barracks, which have been the subject of little research to date in Italy. This work addresses thislack of knowledge by providing a taxonomy of barracks that have been subjected to informal placemaking,such as arts and cultural activities. The exploration of each of the categories resulting from the taxonomy canbe crucial in triggering new insights into informal practices. Drawing on interviews with key actors, literaturereview, and fieldwork from the period 2019–2022, the research identifies key dynamics that may transformbarracks into spaces for social reproduction, rever-sing original intentions to create new profit-driven spaces.
