ICOMOS 13th General Assembly: Strategies for the World’s Cultural Heritage - Preservation in a Globalised World - Principles, Practices, Perspectives
Résumé en anglais
For many years our school of architecture has offered asummer course in Italy including a design studio for students
of architecture, planning , and landscape architecture. Thefocus of the studies has been preservation in historic centers
and the reuse of abandoned sites. Each year a different Italiancity has hosted the design studio and set a theme for the
project, dealing not only with reuse of historic buildings, butalso with abandoned industrial sites, and reconstructions of
parts of the historic city. The question of conservation ofhistoric centers has in this way been approached as an
architectural problem, addressing new development inaddition to conservation of the existing. Examples of these
projects are the work on the Papigno area for the city ofTerni, and on the Canapina area within the historic walls of
Perugia.
