## Summary

Pilot report of the first Liminal Lab (2022), along the Sulmona–Carpinone railway, with six studies by MIT student teams, in English and Italian.

## Work

Prepared by Liminal, with booklet curation and editing by Adriana Giorgis, Angela Loescher-Montal and Sarah Lohmar. The pilot report follows the three weeks of the workshop — diving in, documenting and analysing, proposing — and is accompanied by six booklets, one per student team: 01 Trails as a Generative System, 02 Resilience for Small-Scale Farming, 03 The Last Mile: From Station to Town, 04 Occupancy & Maintenance Survey, 05 Reconfiguring a Regional Portal and 06 A Space for Migrants in Towns. It closes with sample spreads of the Sentiero Juan Carrito proposal for the Valle Peligna. Each part exists in English and Italian; not hosted here.
