Conoscenze integrate e strategie di manutenzione programmata per il patrimonio culturale/ Integrated knowledge and planned maintenance strategies for cultural heritage

In the recent decades, scientific research has considered heritage buildings as a resource, whose values should be protected and increased over time. Since the 1970s, the growing interest in environmental protection powered studies on maintenance as a sustainable strategy to narrow the consumption of land, energy and materials, to reduce transports and pollution, extending the life cycle of the real estate. In the field of maintenance and with regard to SNECS project, Social Network of Entities in the Historic Centres, the peculiarity of assets to be preserved and enhanced, and the need to process a large amount of data, required a synergy between expert knowledge. The integration of the skills, involved in knowledge, design and planning phases, improves the quality of the project through the development of a multidimensional and a multi-scale information system. The designer is required today to develop strategies for planning and management of interventions, as part of a technological culture that aims to predict the effects over time and based on the active participation of users, to build shared choices on a sufficiently broad basis. Indeed, the research has been carried out thanks to the collaboration between research certified laboratories: Laboratory of Reuse, Rehabilitation and Maintenance of the Department of Architecture and the Laboratories of the Department of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Naples Federico II.
