The essay critically presents two territorial scale projects prepared at different times but grouped under a common approach. The reasoning starts from the notion of restoration proposed by Franco Purini that captured the attention of the scientific community at the beginning of the nineties, according to which, the historically shaped landscape needs, after the damage caused by modernity, a restoration operation. renovatio, capable of pushing beyond conservation. A position that opens fertile and generative spaces for reflection, even in relation to the operational dimension of the project.
The analytical, inclusive, transversal view of the disciplines that we have adopted in the preparation of the projects is informed by a single synthetic objective that unites everything. This refers to the possibility, based on the selective recapitulation of the phylogeny, of prefiguring through guidelines, corrections and actions (material and immaterial), different scenarios with respect to the present and the evolutionary projection of a given territory. By redefining materials, weights, measures and relationships between the parts, valuing hidden or frustrated levels of the palimpsest, it is possible to reconstruct a territorial framework capable of proposing future orders, compatible with the rules of the longue durée that have acted in the formation of territories, as a result contingent of the stratification and sedimentation of signs.
