Abstract
In the context of a broad framework of urban-historical, technological, and industrial archaeology studies conducted by the authors and focused on Tivoli's historic manufacturing areas, the paper illustrates the research tools in favour of a methodology for designing the landscape of work that derives from long industrial and pre- and proto-industrial processes. The paper reports the main elements of meta-design underlying the redevelopment of an entire historically productive urban neighbourhood and discusses the design application of a specific case within a systemic vision. The methodology is fundamentally based on the specificities of historic urban and industrial heritage: sites, areas and intangible elements that recall the foundations of contemporary humanity. Upstream of the proposition of the intervention methodologies were the inventory of the artifacts, the survey of the complex water/city system, the reading of the processual building fabric, and the reading of the morphology expressed in the current open spaces. Within these systems, with their reasons for memory and urban resources, is the history of the Amicucci-Parmeggiani Paper Mill, built in the 19th century and connected to the medieval city and pre-existing Roman archaeological remains. This is a true case of multiple archaeology in which the specificities of labour architecture need to be highlighted and its ability to be supportive of a new social and cultural sustainability needs to be grasped. The final stages of the process involve the transfer of technology from the university to the community through the star-tup BEST design, which finally implemented the architectural project according to the aforementioned value principles. In view of the next steps, the proposition of a rigorous methodology shows the possibility of surgically operating on a modern element of an industrial landscape with an awareness of contemporary values, even when a new use is not even strongly characterized.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
