Svelare la trama di un patrimonio complesso del moderno. Un approccio transcalare per l'Agro Pontino

There are many elements that compose the Agro Pontino today, linked by complex and not always obvious relationships, afferent to different domains, both natural and artificial. But it’s the very nature of the Pontine territory, the product of land reclamation and improvement in the 1920s and 1930s, that prevents a categorical interpretation. The results of this complex work constitute an important architectural, urban, engineering and landscape heritage, an experiment in an innovative way of rethinking and re-founding the territory, also based on the then nascent discipline of modern urban planning. If we assume that this heterogeneous and extensive heritage can be preserved, it is worth asking how the relevant restoration, conservation and enhancement operations can be performed, and not only on architectural or infrastructure buildings. This study aims to verify whether a transcalar approach can be adopted to describe the specific nature of this complex heritage, which today requires attention and care.
