Historical Heritage Conservation versus Energy Efficiency. Traditional Technological Knowledge as design answer?

Historical architecture, in Mediterranean basin, assumes a type-morphological structure in coherence to microclimatic characters of site, defining the optimization of energetic relationships with surrounding natural environment. The building - as fluid, adapted, sensitive interface, superficial border line that is able to define the relationships with environment and to model itself on environmental factors – finds in technological environmental design tools and criteria to make a dialog with climate and natural elements: sun, wind, light, water, vegetation are materials and sources of energy that the project makes to selectively interact with the context, in a continuous exchange of material and energy, determining an equilibrium of transformations.
