Nuove funzioni per il patrimonio industriale dismesso. Studi e progetti in Abruzzo
No full textThe need to find a new function, almost always achieved through a contemporary architectural language, seems to be the common denominator when it comes to the conversion of industrial buildings, regardless of the aesthetic quality or the testimonial value of the pre-existence. This contribution aims to give an account of the historical heritage that has supported the Abruzzo industry in the long term, focusing in particular on that in conditions of conservation that promise a future, both possible and desirable
Tra teoria e prassi. I restauri di Raffaello Delogu in Abruzzo
No full textIn 1953, thanks to the experience gained during the years of reconstruction in Sardinia, Delogu reached Abruzzo, marked by war damage as
well as by the still uncompensated wounds of the 1915 earthquake. Thus, he began a careful study of the damaged buildings, such as the church
of S. Pietro in Alba Fucens, the cathedral of S. Panfilo in Sulmona and the Piccolomini castle in Celano.
The research that Delogu carried out arose from a completely innovative approach, based on the consideration of the history of architecture as an
integral part of the history of art. Evidently influenced both by his training as an archaeologist, and by the aesthetics of Benedetto Croce ‒ who
was animating the national and international cultural debate since the 1930s ‒ Delogu eliminated any interest in typological or chronological
categories. By applying this approach, Delogu undertook the restoration of the church of S. Pietro (1955-1957), mentioned by Cesare Brandi as
the best intervention carried out in post-war Italy for the correct balance achieved between the historical-artistic aspects and the static aspects.
The praise given to Delogu’s intervention by Brandi has decreed over the years an ever-increasing collective appreciation, difficult to question,
which the contribution tries to reread, highlighting the theoretical reasons that guided it in the operational phase
War memories in Terra di Lavoro
Full text linkTerra di Lavoro, an historical region north of Naples. Their urban centers, with historically, artistically and archaeologically of interest, suffered extensive damage in the Second World War (IIWW). When allied landing at Salerno, the continuous bombing produced heavy losses to the architectural heritage with destruction both in historical centers and in major monuments. The
aim of this papers is present some experience on reconstruction applied in Terra di Lavoro. This paper was developed through the use of historical analysis. Institutional effort was analyzed in each case described. The outcomes of the economic and social policy conditioning had considerable importance as well as psychological and symbolic order. In conclusion, through the architectural heritage reconstruction, it begins a process strongly characterized by instances outside the scope of the protection and restoration, that pressed on economic and social revival of the nation through a rapid revival of tourism, from the restored face of the main monuments
La cultura costruttiva in pietra: lineamenti di una ricerca in Abruzzo
No full textLa cultura costruttiva in pietra rappresenta per l'Abruzzo interno un tratto distintivo, di notevole interesse. Lo studio focalizza l'attenzione sull'analisi dei magisteri murari di molte fabbriche, oggi ridotte allo stato di rudere, a causa sia delle distruzioni belliche, ma anche di eventi calamitosi, che hanno duramente segnato la regione
Orientamenti tecnico-linguistici nella conservazione del patrimonio archeologico
No full textLa riconversione di edifici industriali, che costituisce oggi in Italia un terreno particolarmente fertile, in cui le istanze del ripristino non sono sempre accettati , evidenziato diversi metodi di approcci in tempi relativamente recenti.
Il panorama che abbiamo cercato di delineare mostra chiaramente come il tema di archeologia industriale è ancora irrisolto in Italia. Ora dobbiamo chiederci qual è il valore reale che il patrimonio industriale ha per la società attuale. L'edificio abbandonato è percepito come un interlocutore silenzioso, incapace di parlare una lingua antica con parole moderne. Per questo motivo, il confronto tra i diversi campi disciplinari deve essere mantenuto aperto, richiamando l'insegnamento di Moneo che di fronte ad un edificio esistente invita al rispetto dell'identità architettonica dell'edificio stesso, che ne permette la modifica e ne garantisce la vita
Non solo questioni di decoro. Luoghi e monumenti della ricostruzione postbellica in Campania
No full textDopo lo sbarco degli alleati a Salerno, il 9 settembre del 1943, l’avanzata della V armata del generale Mark Wayne Clark verso nord subisce un rallentamento nel territorio posto al confine tra la Campania settentrionale e il Lazio meridionale: un lembo di terra racchiuso tra i fiumi Volturno e Garigliano, meno di sessanta chilometri di distanza, dove i tedeschi impiantano una delle due più importanti linee difensive, la linea Gustav che, insieme alla linea Gotica da Livorno a Rimini, collega il Tirreno all’Adriatico. Dai primi di ottobre fino al superamento della linea difensiva tedesca Bernhardt a metà dicembre, i continui bombardamenti e cannoneggiamenti proseguono ininterrottamente nell’areale settentrionale campano, generando una gigantesca “terra bruciata” in cui si alternano i rastrellamenti dei civili con gli scoppi delle mine. Una strategia del terrore messa in atto per sfiancare le popolazioni, contese tra i tedeschi in ritirata e gli alleati in avanzata. La furia della guerra non risparmia niente e nessuno, alla morte di migliaia di civili, si sommano i cumuli di macerie di interi abitati; non si cede neanche di fronte alla presenza di architetture monumentali. L’acredine con la quale si infierisce non solo sulle popolazioni assediate ma anche (sic!) sul patrimonio monumentale e diffuso prosegue ininterrottamente per ben sette mesi, registrando ampie devastazioni perpetrate ai danni dei tanti centri di rilevante interesse storico artistico e archeologico come Capua, Teano, Sessa Aurunca, Alife, danneggiati talmente tanto da porre problemi di ricostruzione diversificati e complessi.
Il presente contributo vuole tentare di approfondire, a partire dai casi di studio proposti, il ruolo della cultura del restauro, con particolare riferimento a quello critico, negli interventi di remissione dei danni bellici. Porre l’accento sulle scelte teoriche che ispirarono le ricostruzioni, legate alla storiografia del tempo, ma anche inquadrare con attenzione la situazione italiana e internazionale alla vigilia delle elezioni del 1948
Architectures from architectures. The reuse of heritage in abandonment
No full textAt least from the quantitative point of view, the theme of the reuse of the
abandoned heritage today receives considerable attention, in the context of
changing social and economic needs.
The main interest is given by the need to find a new use, almost always
materialized through a new architectural language. The transformation is therefore
often felt as an obligatory passage, under penalty of obsolescence and destruction
of the building itself.
The reuse of the built heritage of the past is thus part of the great theme of
restoration through modern design.
The tendency to recover disused architectures with the insertion of
completely new functions and with significant typological alterations does not
reach in Italy, if not in design contests, the uninhibited indifference towards the
pre-existing type, very frequent in other European countries where the new insert it
slips inside the old artefact like a sailing ship in a bottle. Less evident, but relevant
from the methodological point of view, is the tendency to respect the typological
and structural identity of the building, seeking the continuity between the new
functions and the pre-existence.
The contribution, through the examination of some case studies, will try to
define the theoretical foundations and method orientations that underlie the reuse
of the built heritage, combining the demands placed by the building and its new
use. The attempt is to emancipate the adaptive intervention from the syntactic and
semantic themes of the compositional sphere, focusing instead on the critical nature
of the intervention itself
Memoria e innovazione. Alcune riflessioni sul patrimonio industriale in Abruzzo
No full textThis study intends to explain cultural heritage related to industrial archaeology in Abruzzo, Italy by studying various buildings. These buildings and factory constructions are now important due to their location in an area of interest, however, they are still far from being considered a ‘National Landmark’ or an important part of the community. They are neither acknowledged nor valued and instead are abandoned and consequently demolished. Such phenomenon appears evident in towns that have recently undergone expansions or redevelopments. Many urban centers in Abruzzo represent an example where industrial development has largely influenced urban growth and 20th-century activities. There are varying ideas surrounding the recovery and renewal of these heritage sites. Therefore new norms are required in order to regain significant areas of town – in particular former industrial areas. Social and political acceptance is needed, as well as innovative strategies for the recovery and re-use of these areas.
This study hopes to create an awareness of the importance of restoring industrial sites both in urban design and territory planning, but without forgetting the economic side. An awareness might be the only guarantee for transforming industrial archeology into a common heritage and guaranteeing a future in the local development process. By restoring the most important buildings and attributing their past function to a current one, they can be valorized and utilized for many years to come
Quel che resta dei molini idraulici. Fragilità e opportunità del patrimonio paleoindustriale di Gragnano
No full textThe main protagonist of Gragnano city’s history is the mill valley, a thin depression between Lattari Mountains, and Vernotico river, crossed by a medieval amalfitan mule truck.
The extremely simple architecture of the mills, has been well adapted and integrated within the complex morphology of the valley. At first used for silk production, they have been after used to grind grain, giving the start to the development of the future middle 800 well known “city of pasta”.
The valley of mills represent a complex system made up by the productive character, natural environment and infrastructure, related into virtuous mix which led itself development, but meanwhile took serious problems of defining those characters themselves for preservation and development.
Starting from the reconstruction of the mills’ network present into Gragnano’s territory related both to morphologic and anthropic aspects, we made a cataloguing and census of the preindustrial architectural heritage based on the 1784 Chiroga cartography, which shows precisely us the system of aqueducts and mills of the time.
This contribution wants to define a recovering and enhancement program for the analysed buildings throughout the knowledge of their constructive and functional features and the relationship with the environmental and cultural context.
The valley’s mills framework, with the old aqueduct and infrastructure give us the opportunity to create a linear park which goal is to promote cultural and research activities for the community into the single buildings as an instrument to reappropriate of our cultural heritage by reason of consciousness discover of our natural, cultural and productive resources undertaken in past just with water strength
Le murature dell’edilizia storica: uno studio sull’Abruzzo
No full textLo studio delle tecniche costruttive murarie dell'areale meridionale dell'Abruzzo costituiscono l'ossatura portante della ricerca, che si avvale di documentazioni di prima mano, desunte dai rilievi diretti di molte fabbriche, sia specialistiche, sia dell'edilizia diffusa. Il ventaglio di soluzioni adottate è riconducibile alle caratteristiche geo-morfologiche della regione, segnata dalla compresenza di massicci montuosi e aree pianeggianti, a loro volta collegati da estese fasce collinari; ne deriva una organizzazione cantonale molto diversificata al suo interno, in ordine alle risorse materiali e ai sistemi costruttivi messi a punto nel corso dei secoli. La ricognizione si avvantaggia di una ampia quantità di campioni esaminabili offerti dalla particolare vicenda edilizia di molti centri della regione, colpiti nell'ultimo secolo da eventi tellurici e franosi, che hanno spesso rivelato la struttura costruttiva degli edifici, oggi studiabili allo stato di rudere, offrendo interessanti informazioni alla ricerca
