RECOVERY OF BUILT HERITAGE IN NINETEENTH CENTURY ARCHITECTURE. FRAGAPANE PALACE IN GRAMMICHELE (CT)

The scientific beginnings of the proposed research theme is the concept of ‘recovery and maintenance of a building’, seen as a possible area of application of operation repeatable methodologies, mediating between conservation and transformation. In fact the built heritage, often compromised by the absence of recovery and maintenance actions, is a complex system that can hardly justify project choice. The research seeks to find an operational method in which emerge the criteria that lead to operation choices. The approach is based on data obtained from a technological and historical survey and investigation necessary to understand the object in its specific worthiness and transformations. The achieved method is applicable on the nineteenth-century-building through a multidisciplinary process of recovery, coherent with the buildings, with its history, its shape, its technology, and with the other cultural and social factors involved
