In Italy, the regeneration of historic centers is a relevant issue in the theoretical debate and practice of urban planning, a discourse which usually adopts strictly constraining approaches and tools directed almost exclusively at the preservation of the traditional characters of historic buildings, neglecting social and economic processes. In particular, the redevelopment of minor historic centers becomes a priority action for the revitalisation of marginal territories affected by the phenomena of depopulation and weakening of the socio-economic structure. The paper focuses on the regional context of Sardinia to investigate methods and criteria for the drafting of planning tools for the redevelopment of minor historic centers, enabling the definition and implementation of strategies in accordance with the objectives and guidelines of the Regional Landscape Plan. With a case study methodology applied to the historic center of Mogoro, the research discusses an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to the definition of flexible regulations to manage the urban regeneration process.
This paper discusses some of the issues related to the redevelopment of the modern building, with a rethink about the spaces consequent to the need to change its planned use that is structurally more burdensome and the related anti-seismic retrofitting. The case study concerns the project for the restoration and reuse of the former pediatric clinics of the University of Cagliari, according to an integrated method of intervention which, in the absence of historical documents, made it possible to reconstruct the material and structural characterisation of the building and its technical and constructional features.
New architectures for new protagonists: is this what has been happening in inland and mountain Sardinia over the last two decades? And in which direction is modernization going: does it operate on the self-referential level of forms, or is it associated with innovative development paradigms? The paper addresses the awareness of identity as a project, which starts from the discovery of the relationship between constructive cultures, shapes and processes of historical communities and settlements.
In the 1990s, the first results start from the recovery of historic centers, while in the early 2000s the focus shifted to the landscape, transforming a purely conservative approach to places into a proactive one. A new generation of social and institutional leaders – and producers – brings out new clients for projects that re-interpret landscapes, architecture, object design, between continuity and innovation: not through mimetic traditionalisms, but by rediscovering “new ecologies” for transition.
The field of interest of this research is the design and the construction in historical contexts. This work has its conceptual structure in the theme of the dual capable of investigating a key aspect of the issues between old and new: their relationship. The lecture key allows a first important step: the interpretation of complex problems through their reduction to pairs of concepts and thus related relations, among which the project takes place. At the base of this research is the vision of architecture primarily as an outcome that may be investigated in its results and its foreshadowing premises and projects.
