historic preservation, rehabilitation, dismissed military area,Abstract
With reference to a specific case study, this paper is an attempt to respond to questions concerning progress toward better understanding of the role of urban unit’s mosaic and fringe belt recognition in urban planning and building retrofitting/design. In particular, the paper describes a reading procedure consisting of data requirements to be used as an “interpretative analysis” of the dismissed military area Sani-Casaralta, in the north sector of the city of Bologna.
By means of specific comparison between local characters and historic evolution, the paper suggests a design procedure based on the use of new technologies as possible interaction between “intentionality” in urban planning and possible evolution of historical urban forms.
