CONCLUSIONS
The method presented in this paper considers the following issues:
1. the complex spatial articulation of the continuous building systems of historical towns
needs, where possible, unitary and synchronous actions on homogeneous portions of
the fabric, e.g. compartments or entire blocks, especially if highly vulnerable to future
damage.
2. in order to activate an effective process of repopulation of the spaces the building interventions,
must be inserted in an environmental requalification project, and be therefore
of a planning nature, including several integrated and cross-actions: projects concerning
the land (routes and public and private spaces) and the town decoration,
insertion and/or integration of services and functions, restoration of architectural landmarks
(churches, palaces, convents, etc.), integration with the overall urban system of
transportation and mobility, etc.
3. the particular characters of the urban form requires, in the case of direct building interventions
pertaining to the single building system, specific prescriptive and performance
rules. These should control the system of internal and external relationships configuring
the building system in the environmental reference context and control the formal
outcomes, constructive and mechanical, of the intervention.
4. the preservation of the historical centers, due to the complexity of their meanings and
to the stratification of their values, cannot be obtained without the participation and the
multilateral support of society.
