The study here displayed deals with the methodological design approaches involved in architectural reconstruction or transformation processes through the technique of rewriting, where the building or the urban fabric is no more recoverable only with an act of conservation. In these situations, it is necessary to investigate both the generative principles of the urban fabric and the transformation processes that have influenced its physical structure. On the other hand, working in continuity with the built environment would require an action aimed at grasping from the history of the place qualities still admissible in the architectural design. The research conceived thus the rewriting process as a generative design technique attempts to produce a theoretical and operative debate that can be helpful for a critical transformation of the urban fabric. The architecture within cities that suffered damages due to deliberate acts of violence against their monumental systems represents a tangible experimental field of such a methodological approach. In those contexts, the application of the architectural rewriting technique aims to identify some design tools to safeguard the identity of the city in the reconstruction process, without precluding a physiological evolution of forms demanded by the development of our society.
Lo studio qui proposto intende indagare i processi di ricostruzione architettonica attraverso la tecnica della riscrittura in quei casi dove l’architettura della città non è più recuperabile solo con un atto di conservazione. In queste situazioni è necessario indagare sia i principi generativi della struttura urbana che le trasformazioni che ne hanno influenzato l’assetto fisico. D'altra parte, lavorare in continuità con l’ambiente costruito richiede un'azione volta a cogliere dalla storia del luogo delle qualità ancora ammissibili nel progetto architettonico. Questo studio assume quindi il processo di riscrittura come tecnica generativa in grado di produrre degli strumenti operativi per una trasformazione critica della struttura urbana. L'architettura all'interno di città che hanno subito danni a causa di deliberati atti di violenza contro i loro sistemi monumentali rappresenta un campo di sperimentazione tangibile di tale approccio metodologico. In quei contesti, l'applicazione della tecnica della riscrittura architettonica intende individuare alcuni strumenti progettuali per salvaguardare l'identità della città nel processo di ricostruzione, senza precludere tuttavia quella fisiologica evoluzione delle forme imposta dalla nascita di nuove esigenze estetico-funzionali.

Abstract
The study here displayed deals with the methodological design approaches involved in architectural reconstruction or transformation processes through the technique of rewriting, where the building or the urban fabric is no more recoverable only with an act of conservation. In these situations, it is necessary to investigate both the generative principles of the urban fabric and the transformation processes that have influenced its physical structure. On the other hand, working in continuity with the built environment would require an action aimed at grasping from the history of the place qualities still admissible in the architectural design. The research conceived thus the rewriting process as a generative design technique attempts to produce a theoretical and operative debate that can be helpful for a critical transformation of the urban fabric. The architecture within cities that suffered damages due to deliberate acts of violence against their monumental systems represents a tangible experimental field of such a methodological approach. In those contexts, the application of the architectural rewriting technique aims to identify some design tools to safeguard the identity of the city in the reconstruction process, without precluding a physiological evolution of forms demanded by the development of our society.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
