FONDAZIONE STELION
public platform and project map

An Italian foundation coordinates clean-up and land-restoration projects with citizens and municipalities. The site had to make visible work that, without a shared platform, stayed scattered across spreadsheets and messages.

THE BOTTLENECK
Work in progress, completed, halted or merely reported lived in spreadsheets, messages and separate heads. A citizen who wanted to take part had nowhere to start, and transparency about resources and spending stayed a promise with no surface. Even people inside the foundation had to rebuild a project's status by hand every time someone asked.

THE DECISION
The central decision wasn't choosing a map — that was a given — but deciding that every project would carry exactly one status, visible everywhere: completed, in progress, halted, scheduled, reported. That turns the site from a static list into a register you can query, and forces whoever updates the data to always choose a real status, not a vague description.

HOW IT'S BUILT
An interactive map of Italy where every place carries its own status, with search by town, province and region. Alongside the map, a readable list for people who prefer text, and transparency pages that put resources, spending and results in plain figures.

HOW IT HOLDS UP
The status taxonomy is the spine: each project has exactly one, visible everywhere it appears — on the map, in the list, on its own page. Updating a project means updating one value, not four pages — which is what keeps the site sustainable as the number of open projects grows.

WHAT CHANGES
Anyone can open the map, search for their own municipality, and see the real status of a project, without asking anyone at the foundation. It's the transparency that used to exist only as an intention.
