Abstract

We find, in traditional buildings, formal contents that are produced from their own cultural environment, in particular the Mediterranean region has always been characterized by commingling and imports of techniques and workers that have led to the multiplication and diversification of manufacturing solutions by integrating knowledge from different backgrounds with the resources and raw materials are available on site. This practice, however, over time has become increasingly blurred boundaries due to the development of the processes of cultural exchange and rapid evolution of all means of transport and communication that have made readily available materials and technologies of different origins before it could assess the 'magnitude of the change. In the selection and use of construction materials, the assessment of compatibility, with respect to a consolidated environment, should be dictated by reasons of appropriateness to the needs and characteristics of the place: these notes want to analyze the interactions between materials and environment image, from a purely perceptive point of view of the observed system and the possibility of integration in the construction of new materials and new technologies. In general, rather than to individual architectural events, the memory of places is entrusted to the whole system of values that a place saves and raises the need for a search for balance between conservation and transformation. The effort for a recovery of culture must be to trace the characteristic profiles of the places and to identify its different components; so it is the ability to recognize the system of constraints in relation to the context, which regulates the transformation process in time and moderates the "expectations of users" with respect to instances of identity protection of heritage.
