The integrated requalification of author’s urban italian peripheries. Strategies and technological environmental solutions for a balance between sustainability and safeguarding existing value

The actions to be taken on the residential buildings of the Italian urban peripheries need new tools, starting from the identification of contemporary architecture with characteristics of quality, within the field of recent building production (MiBACT, 2014). Although they are included in the Cultural Heritage concept from an historical-critical point of view - and their subscription within the National Census of Italian Architecture is an evidence of it - still there is not an institutional safeguarding tool and a technological and environmental common strategy that adapts them to the needs of contemporary society, compatibly with the “design intentions” and their quality.
