La conservazione degli equilibri dell'architettura tradizionale costiera in siti UNESCO. Adattamenti, trasformazioni e verifica dei principi di qualità per gli interventi

Abstract

The Mediterranean is by definition a place of relations, where many and varied forms of thought, knowledge and civilization in the history of mankind have intersected, mixed and integrated; it is the place furrowed by paths and characterized by a dense network of cultural, artistic, political and religious exchange opportunities. This area offers, therefore, a vast repertoire of cases to experiment and refine methods of investigation, theories and exemplary practices to understand and recover urban fabrics, agglomerations and architectural individualities. These territories are characterized by a strong relationship between traditional ways of living and the territory, implicit vocations and aims of transformation. This research intends to build a project based on the knowledge and enhancement of the Mediterranean architecture and built landscapes, by choosing as a reference area the UNESCO site of the Amalfi Coast, in order to highlight the ordering elements of architecture, landscape and places and, at the same time, identify the threats of the new global. After a careful analysis of transformations, alterations and tampering of traditional architecture, the research intends to develop guidelines for the recovery and sustainable conservation of these unique and unrepeatable traditional agglomerations, in accordance with the most current international frameworks.
