La manutenzione del paesaggio antropizzato: architettura del Sistema Informativo

Built environment functional and technological decay, is often, at the origin of ancient settlements transformation processes. In order to promote sustainble developping and balancing processes, a maintenance approach can be assumed as the cultural premise to face anthropic landscape identity preservation problems. The paper deals with a research experience on built environment management strategies, aimed to the definition of a conceptual model, as a supporting tool devoted to maintenace. Referring to a multiscale approach, the model is based on the acquaintance of environmental and technological data and to their critical organization, in order to describe anthropic settlement identity. Investigating on natural and artificial transformative processes, achitectural characters, constructive traditions, the model gives back an integrated picture of landscape morphology, building typology, constructive lexicon.
