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

To set conservation project in sustainable human development means to understand in-becoming reality, turning the static vision into a dynamic approach that considers life cycle as theoretical-methodological base, articulated in different and integrated steps. 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. Interventions on historical building, therefore, cannot put aside from the articulation in subsystems of the components constitutive the object on which operate, individualizing: - environmental context, conditions of state defined by natural/artificial characters of site - settlement system, typological-morphological, physical-spatial and setting characters of the structures of built environment - building organism, organizational, distributive and conformed characters of architecture.
