EX FABBRICA OLIVETTI DI POZZUOLI Riqualificazione della parete vetrata di Luigi Cosenza

The case of ex Olivetti in Pozzuoli raises the problems of the Ferrofinestra’s performance inside the adaptive reuse of the modern industrial heritage. The comparison between ‘old’ and ‘new’ window frame denotes the attempt to resort to an “à l’identique” reconstruction. But in the light of the requests for energy efficiency, the conservation / replacement dichotomy (on a building in which there are now few traces of the original glass wall) is further cultural on the progressive distancing between cultural and managerial aspects that underlie the technical solutions adopted.
