Colonie per l'infanzia in Liguria. Un patrimonio da conoscere e tutelare
No full textThe Italian seaside colonie are a widespread heritage for the most part unknown to critics and scholars at risk of disappearing due to abandonment, demolitions and inappropriate reuse.
An ongoing research about the case study of seaside colonie on the Italian Riviera is bringing out a more complex and articulated heritage than knows until now, thus posing additional consideration on the values and the conservation problems of this Modern Heritage
Ospizi marini, istituti elioterapici e colonie nella Riviera ligure: storia e tutela di un patrimonio moderno
No full textTra le architetture che hanno contribuito al processo di urbanizzazione e trasformazione della costa ligure, tra la fine del XIX e gli anni Settanta del XX Secolo, quelle dedicate alla cura, all’educazione e alla vacanza per l’infanzia costituiscono un importante tassello, ancora poco conosciuto, della storia delle due Riviere.
Definite secondo diverse locuzioni quali ospizi marini, istituti elioterapici, colonie marine e di vacanza, queste strutture nascono in Italia come luoghi per la salvaguardia della salute dei bambini appartenenti alle classi meno abbienti, per poi assumere anche una funzione educatrice e ludica.
Con la diminuzione della domanda di strutture per il turismo sociale, iniziata negli anni Settanta del Novecento, la maggior parte di questi edifici, sono stati progressivamente abbandonati, demoliti o riconvertiti.
Questi complessi rappresentano oggi la testimonianza materiale dell’evoluzione di parte della cultura igienica, assistenziale e pedagogica italiana dell’ultimo secolo, nonché un insieme di tipi edilizi di rilevante valenza architettonica e paesaggistica.
Il seguente contributo, parte di una ricerca di dottorato ancora in corso, propone, attraverso l’analisi del caso ligure, una riflessione sul tema della conservazione e del riuso dei questo patrimonio moderno e dell’importanza insita nella sua valorizzazione al fine di un corretto sviluppo paesaggistico della Riviera
L'ex colonia marina bergamasca di Celle Ligure (SV). Usi e riuso
No full textWithin the context of the debate about Italian neglected and disused architectural heritage, the case study of seaside “colonie-colony” has represented, since the 1980s, a still current topic that, to date, has not yet found an answer to the requests for conservation, reuse and public and private interests. Colonie were founded in the second half of 19th century in order to treat sick children from the lowest classes, and during the fascist period were turned into children education centres. After World War II they became summer resorts for children from the working class. Nowadays “colonie” are not used anymore. Despite its value, the most of this heritage has been lost, because of demolitions, inappropriate reuse and dereliction. Due to commercial speculative interests and the lack of conservation, the risks associated with this heritage are the loss of their tangible and intangible value, and above all, that of the several memories related to them. This paper is about the case of the seaside “colonie” of Bergamo in Celle Ligure, and will address the issue of the contradictions related to its enhancement, possible reuse and future demolition. That will be followed by the construction of a complex with housing and tourist functions
Construction of coastal landscape in Italy, between the 19th and 20th century. The case study of the ligurian seaside colonie.
No full textAmong the architectures that contributed to the process of urbanization and transformation of Italian coastal landscape, in the period between the end of the 19th and the 1970s, those dedicated to the care, education and holiday of childhood constitute an important part of the history of the architecture, still inadequately known.
Seaside colonie were the first modern buildings, together with the hotel and touristic facilities, that defined the modern urbanization process of the Italian coasts.
Since the middle of 19th century, the presence of these two different tourist phenomena, one dedicated to the élites tourists and the other one to the sick children, has defined radical transformations to the coastal landscape. In fact, until then, the coastal landscape was barely inhabited and predominantly depending on an agricultural economy. Among the most important transformations, the improvement of the transports (roads and railroad), the modification of the local flora and the construction of hotels, differed from the traditional constructions of the small seaports.
Furthermore, in Liguria, one of the first Italian regions to be interested by the phenomenon of seaside colonie and tourism, the presence of these buildings contributed to the well-known Italian Riviera prestige, characterizing its landscape.
This paper aims to deepen the historical reconstruction of the Italian coasts' urbanization through the point of view of the seaside colonie's phenomenon and an insight into the Italian Riviera case. Moreover, the paper intends to analyze these architectures that are considered part of the Italian architectural heritage of the 20th century
Trattamenti consolidanti di mattoni in ambiente marino.
No full textThe study starts from a wider experimentation project about binding and protective products, applied to different materials, in a marine environment. The project has been realized during the San Fruttuoso Abbey restoration work in Camogli (Genoa). The present paper aims to propose the part of the experiment concerning the use of binding products on the sea front clay brick arch of the Abbey. The project was divided into two different phases. The first one was focused on two main purposes: the bibliographic recognition about the material concerning cases similar to the one object of the consultancy, and the market research about binding products currently available on the Italian market. The second one was focused on acquiring technical data on binders products, selecting the most suitable ones, and their direct experimentation. The experimentation was carried out on a clay brick surface portion of an outer arcade, selected due to the presence of different types of bricks and because of its interesting and complex masonry stratigraphy. The over time efficacy of the products was evaluated through a series of tests carried out in two different monitorings. Comparing the different data emerged from the bibliographic research, the experimentation and the macroscopic evaluations, carried out some interesting considerations about potentialities and methods of intervention on clay brick masonry in the marine environment

GIS a tool for 20th Century Architecture. From the territory to the building scale
No full textManagement, organization, and dissemination of data represent today one of the main topics of heritage protection and enhancement. Through four case studies, this contribution describes the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) applied to 20th century architecture, as a tool for critical analysis of data and their possible use for the design phase. The examination of the case studies highlights opportunities and limits of a peculiar use of GIS in the field of 20th century architecture, taking into consideration its specific features. Investigations developed at territorial, urban and building scale demonstrate GIS strengths and weaknesses for the improvement of projects on existing buildings
Il GIS per la valorizzazione dell'architettura del '900: dalla scala territoriale all'edificio
No full textLa gestione, sistematizzazione e fruizione delle informazioni costituisce oggi uno dei temi fondamentali della tutela e della valorizzazione del patrimonio costruito.
Il testo illustra le diverse possibili operatività del GIS quale strumento per l’analisi critica di dati e il loro potenziale uso nell’ambito progettuale. Vengono presentate applicazioni all’architettura del Novecento e, in particolare a quattro casi studio.
Si evidenziano potenzialità e limiti di un particolare utilizzo del GIS applicato al costruito del XX secolo per la qualificazione del progetto sull’esistente. Partendo da un progetto a scala territoriale, passando per quella urbana, fino ad arrivare a quella dell’edificio, emergono vantaggi, potenzialità e limiti del GIS
