Abstract

The paper focuses on the reasons why a place turns to be abandoned or to be inhabited again. The author argues that besides obvious economic reasons, recognition and obsolescence play a role in these processes. Several examples can be quoted concerning settings that have been not exactly abandoned, but got underused because people prefer the novel, even if anonymous models for dwelling. Implementing a co-evolutionary approach, some other cases ? already described in the literature ? can be identified, which proves how built heritage could be recognized and valorised even after radical changes of the cultural and even ethnical context. The management of these potentialities could be the subject of further research on the field.
