| Sumario: | This paper reviews some design experiences on important archaeological heritage sites. The analysis is focused on three main projects which are significant for contemporary architectural practice on historical and archeological heritage. These are design interventions characterized by a common basic idea that we could summarize as a design vision in continuity with the pre-existence; a methodological approach away from the concepts of imitation or opposition is used.
The first project deals with the long and complex recovery of an ancient monastery dated from the 15th century that had undergone substantial functional transformations and abandonments throughout centuries leading to the ruin of part of it.
The other two interventions are focused on very distinctive archaeological areas: (1) the Archaeological Area and Antiquarium of Tindari in Sicily; (2) the Imperial Forums in Rome. The attempt was to find design solutions allowing the re-establishment of new relationships with the ancient that would enhance the intrinsic qualities of the archaeological contexts. |
