Plans and programs

In developing the plan, the weight of historical stratifications was taken into account, as learned from Brandi’s lesson on the coexistence of aesthetic and historical instances, still relevant today according to the latest restoration theories. Following this well-established theory, preexistence was not nullified by perceptual-aesthetic parameters.
The visual material collected provided no clues to the color elements. However, he clarified that the buildings largely retained their former proportions, even when they were replaced.

The development of the color plan was based on a study of the traces of the old colors, carried out with the aim of preserving or proposing new ones, aware of the impossibility of reconstructing the “original configuration” of the buildings.
Therefore, in the design phase, preservation of the few identified color elements was combined with design decisions based on the perceptual principles of the building and in compliance with current regulations.

The project is based on a direct and detailed study of material elements and an analysis of the urban structure of the historic center through qualitative and quantitative surveys, with special attention to curtain walls.
This made it possible to find the best and most appropriate solutions for this particular area.

The careful study carried out before the plan was drawn up included morphological, perceptual and textural analyses of the urban fabric, with special attention to the many stately mansions and religious buildings.
The project was based on the principles of integration and color compatibility with the context, consistency with the essential features of the buildings, and preservation of the of the existing historical and architectural heritage.

Palazzo Cerulo is an elegant building located in S. Menna Square that has preserved its ancient structure inside the building, the stone portal and windows with ornaments and masks.
The intervention, respecting the historical importance of the building, included cleaning the facades, consolidating and recomposing the joints, and maintaining and protecting its parts.

The goal of the project was to rehabilitate the urban, structural and environmental fabric and to promote local resources as a key element in triggering development processes.
The primary goal of the project was to protect the characteristics of the territory of the municipality of Sant’Agata De’ Goti.

The protection and enhancement of historical and cultural heritage have been identified as priority objectives for the preservation of the identity of the area and its communities, along with the promotion of qualified forms of development.
This project also pursues the important goal of revitalizing urban centers and marginal areas.
