Résumé en anglais
The transformation processes of the natural andbuilt environment represent a threat for the Spirit of Place,
which cannot be obtained by artificially reproducingarchitectures and spaces.
The Sprit of Place, linked to intangible values of a territory,is built up and consolidated through the stratification of uses
and meanings that are deposited in places according to theevolution of the community’s ways of living. Although
intangible factors mainly affect the morphology ofarchitectures and urban spaces, the Spirit of Place is, in a
certain sense, independent of the physical support, because itexist also after that support has disappeared. The contribution
suggests a reflection on those themes by joining tangible andintangible components and later analysing the aspects of the
transformation processes which threaten the Spirit itself.
