Spazi di transizione nella città storica e cambiamenti climatici: un approccio trasversale per l’adattamento, il riuso e la conservazione per nuove soluzioni di resilienza. Transitional spaces in historic cities and climate change: a transversal approach to adaptation, reuse and conservation for new resilience solutions

Climate change is currently impacting cultural heritage globally. Despite several enhancements in understanding the relationship between climate change impacts and cultural heritage, significant barriers hamper the adaptation of historical transitional spaces, especially for cloister typology. It is relevant to examine instances of conservation and valorisation of the cloisters to promote regenerative reuse, allowing a redevelopment of these places, and to promote outdoor comfort within the historical city. Therefore, the research will start with a typological classification to recognise the instances of conservation and reuse for these spaces, identify the best practices trough select case studies in order to apply parametric and microclimatic simulations. The research will lead to the identification of guidelines with integrated mitigation/adaptation/enhancement/conservation solutions that can promote the natural resilience of cloisters in the historic city.
