Le antiche tombe cinesi sono un pezzo unico e inestimabile della storia culturale umana; sono testimoni di valori e memorie materiali e immateriali eccezionali e hanno la possibilità di svolgere un ruolo di primo piano nelle società odierne come portatori di opportunità scientifiche, educative e culturali strategiche. Negli ultimi anni, la conservazione di questo tipo di patrimonio ha prodotto diversi progetti che hanno sperimentato molteplici strumenti, forme e scale di conservazione e promozione; in seguito allo sviluppo del campo archeologico cinese e al miglioramento delle teorie e delle pratiche che affrontano i valori e gli usi contemporanei del patrimonio, gli interventi intorno alle tombe antiche si sono trasformati in un campo cruciale per il progresso sociale e culturale per le comunità locali e una delle principali aree di interesse anche per architetti. La Tesi esplora questo fenomeno e propone un'applicazione e verifica dei risultati di questa ricerca attraverso un progetto incentrato sulla rivitalizzazione dell'antica Tomba di Sun Wu, situata nell'area di Shangfang. L'intervento coniuga la valorizzazione delle caratteristiche storiche e la conservazione di questo prezioso patrimonio con la progettazione di nuovi spazi e ambientazioni interne ed esterne che mirano a renderne più accessibili ed eloquenti i valori, e a moltiplicare le occasioni di fruizione e fruizione da parte di un pubblico più ampio partecipare alla vita presente del sito.

Abstract
Ancient Chinese tombs are a unique and priceless piece of human cultural history; they are the witness of outstanding tangible and intangible values and memories, and have the possibility to play a prominent role in present-day societies as carriers of strategic scientific, educational and cultural opportunities. In the last years, the conservation of this type of heritage has produced several projects that experimented with many preservation and promotion instruments, forms and scales; following the development of Chinese archaeologic field as well as the enhancement of the theories and practices addressing the contemporary values and uses of heritage, interventions around ancient tombs have turned into a crucial field for social and cultural advancement for local communities and a major area of interest also for architects. The Thesis explores this phenomenon, and proposes an application and verification of the outcomes of this research through a project focused on the revitalization of the ancient Sun Wu Tomb, located in the Shangfang area. The intervention combines the improvement of the historic features and the conservation of this precious heritage with the design of new indoor and outdoor spaces and settings that aim at making its values more accessible and eloquent, and at multiplying the opportunities for a larger audience to enjoy and participate in the present life of the site.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
