    Attacco al Castello: accessibilità alle strutture fortificate. Il caso del colle Cidneo e il castello di Brescia

    No full text
    Accessibility to a fortified structure is quite intriguing when considering that to some extent it is necessary to study an “attack strategy” to find “weak” points of a complex designed to be impregnable and therefore inaccessible from the outside. The challenge of the accessibility of a castle often becomes thus its reachability, which today must be guaranteed to everyone for a correct declination of the concept of enhancement. The accessibility of an ancient place refers to the possibility of having individual and collective, tangible and intangible "memory", which allows to pursue sustainable development according to what has been underlined by recent international documents. The high altitudes to be climbed, the tortuous paths which are often present, the spaces distributed in multiple buildings all pose no easy questions. There are scanty, consistent design answers available. However, perhaps the main issue remains, as is the case for many other cultural assets – the intended use and management themes related to accessibility to fortified structures. These considerations will be treated with particular reference to Colle Cidneo and its Castle in the historic centre of Brescia

    Architectural Heritage: the Perspective of Inclusion

    No full text
    Access to cultural heritage constitutes the core behaviour of a society which aspires to be inclusive and barrier-free. Taking part, experimenting, the historical architectural heritage is the essential condition for conscious and active participation in the modern society that is founded and enriches the common identity. The concept, and the consequent project, of accessibility, represents the keystone of the inclusive process. The application of the principles of Universal Design is, therefore, the operational translation for the conservation, improvement and development of those places that represent civilizations and their cultural, urban and landscape development. In order to be able to develop and increase this awareness, it is necessary to operate through a design input that has its roots in consciousness that we could call true sustainability. The new anthropological approach, as a founding method of Universal Design, has focused attention on participation, so that the user is an active subject and the environment must be designed not only to reduce the experience of disability but above all to improve everyone’s experience and performance. The principles linked to inclusion can, therefore, be interpreted as a new perspective for architectural design and planning to respond to the new demands of society. The above-mentioned aspects are explained by showing some significant examples
