Co-abitare nella storia. Innovazione tecnologica e memoria dell’esistente per una nuova cultura dell’abitare

Research for more coherent approaches to intervention in a network of “residual places” of contemporary urban forms, revealed the presence of a particular condition characterized by "empty fences of memory " that interrupt abruptly the built environment, returning the presence of the past in a place. Fences are boundaries, that divided current city and archaeological city. Difficulties in understanding the specific role and function of these existing places determined, over time, life cycle decay. Thinking on public spaces design and need to define how to control expansion of urban sprawl (ground zero), oriented research on an interdisciplinary project that defines guidelines of an innovated "technical culture of conservation" that referred to innovated ways to live with history by re-composing fragmented traces of architectures. The translation leads to design plots, sequences and paths to explain what remains, founded in contemporary city, allow to illustrate in a continuous superposition, comparison and replacement of the existing traces in innovative public space concepts. "Living together", in this context, means sharing traces and new languages to take the project configuring shared spaces, returning urban images rooted in historic footprint and sharing remains and permanencies in new forms of collective identity of living.
