Reuse. Urban Heritage and Liveability
The functional reuse of the built heritage, that is generally the conclusion of any architectural restoration intervention and a necessary action for the conservation of the assets, today opens to new possible interpretations, derived from deep changes in the way of living. What meaning can and should the term reuse have today? And, specifically, what meaning can it assume in relation to those architectural elements widespread in the urban fabric which, due to their characteristics, are not subjected to public protection? If, in most cases, they cannot contain real functions, however they form an integral part of our daily scenario. If properly enhanced, to the communities they can become an opportunity to generate a renewed sense of place belonging. Therefore, in this process, the designer has the task of devising solutions that guarantee the assets safeguard and, at the same time, help the citizens to develop new awareness about the identity value of the built heritage.
