Verso una qualità degli interventi. Valorizzazione, prevenzione e gestione per il Patrimonio architettonico attraverso alcune esperienze nei Paesi emergenti

Management, enhancement and prevention. The meaning and the implications of these three words should be investigated from the beginning of a project for architectural heritage to ensure that the legacy of the achieved intervention can be durable and shared by those who will take charge for pass it on to the future. What could be the meaning of these three actions? Can they be considered as three different aspects that proceed in a parallel way within the design process or are they the essential ingredients of a circular and intertwined approach? What could be the cultural trigger of a virtuous management, valorization and prevention? In a general framework increasingly referred to multidisciplinarity, what is the area of competence and the role of the ‘Restoration’ discipline? The paper starts from these questions and from the attempt to provide some answers, trying to reason around the issue of the ‘participation’ of a community in the project for the existing built, around the role of a qualitative process, especially in a community-based approach up to the training, a task of the Universities, which falls within the ‘prevention’ actions. The topic of multidisciplinarity emphasizes the increasingly necessary involvement of a wide range of actors, able to manage the pre and post intervention, focusing the attention on the role of heritage in the construction of a democratic society. The University and the research are increasingly stimulated to give again centrality to the training by reinterpreting its role, within a systemic vision able to adopt action strategies and to ‘train to the complexity’. In the background, there are the experiences developed by the authors in emerging countries as examples to support general reflections because in these places the social, architectural and work conditions, force to reflect and re-discuss practices elsewhere established.
