    Constructive Techniques in Historical Buildings

    New search for: Acacia, Simonetta

    Abstract The Albergo dei Poveri complex offers a wide range of constructive techniques used in the Genoese environment, from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. This chapter describes the fundamental closing elements, such as perimeter walls, floors, roofs, and windows. The description of the architectural elements starts from the direct observation, supported by perusal of the archive documents (both textual and iconographic), with continuous reference to the specialist literature. Stone, bricks, wood, and iron are the main materials we can find in the Albergo dei Poveri complex and, generally, in the Genoese architecture. Each of them has been worked and chosen in relation to its features, its position within the building and in relation to the required performances.
