The logic, which sometimes more than a request is rather a hope, shall be that of the "new" as scope for action by highest respect of the cultural heritage. In the awareness that any of new materials, even smart ones, can fully ensure the conservation, but everyone can help to guarantee the enjoyment, possible answers are outlined, otherwise be measured, which govern cultural heritage perception, and entrusted to a dialectical relationship between new and existing. New materials language, as usual, albeit never greater far, substantiates the perceptive experience in a balance, sometimes very fine, between the material nature of the context and the project. But especially the language of materials renews and regenerates the culture of conservation, enriching approach to the constructed of new meanings. In this way, the relationship between technological innovation and cultural heritage becomes a singular measure of due regard for the document-monument.
