Abstract
Cultural heritage represents a strategic resource for the social and the economic development of territories. Today, the pressures facing urban areas require new approaches and tools for managing change, combining the objectives of cultural heritage conservation with those of socio-economic development. This paper deals with the theme of the reuse of contemporary relevant architecture, in which the choice of the new use and the design solutions are guided by the objective of generating opportunities for regeneration and enhancement of the historic urban landscape. The case study is an eclectic style building, called ''Il Capricho'', on the island of Ischia (Naples), built at the end of 50s and abandoned at the beginning of this century. Multidisciplinary research develops a methodological path that, starting from the construction of a shared urban regeneration scenario, develops a project of re-use of the building, aimed - on one hand - to enhance its performance and its identity - on the other - to interpret the need to improve the environmental, social and economic conditions of the urban context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
