Campo Incompiuto ‘Unfinished Field’ reinterprets Aldo Rossi’s unfinished field of San Cataldo Cemetery through weaving, machine learning, environmental data, and Modena’s identity as an internationally recognised city of media arts. The project begins with craft as a form of inherited intelligence, using weaving to explore interlacing, repetition, deformation, and variation. These logics are translated into a Pix2Pix GAN workflow, where AI is treated not as a replacement for making, but as a system that learns from tradition and extends it into new architectural possibilities.

Rossi’s drawings are overlaid, fragmented, processed through the GAN, and reassembled as an evolving tiled field. Each tile becomes part of a larger landscape system, shifting between structure, ground, planting, water, and media intervention. In this way, AI becomes a tool for working with incompletion rather than resolving it. The cemetery’s unbuilt condition is transformed into a civic landscape where memory, preservation, craft, and media arts can coexist.
