Abstract
The abandonment of ancient villages and the reduction of the sense of community that characterized them, makes it urgent to rethink forms and practices that can reignite the interest in the places themselves, their built heritage and their possible reactivation. Disciplines such as exhibition setting up and environmental art, which deal with the creation of experimental and temporary installations in the existing environment, turn out to be of great interest for the role they could play in this direction. The creation of small architectures or short-duration artistic installations is, by its nature, a “light” action, of low cost and reversible. For this reason, it represents a way of intervention mode that is easier to put into practice and achieve than a usual process of re-planning and recovery. We could say, in a single word a “pre-action”. A pre-action with the intent of bringing back to attention a wider urgency needing longer and more complex intervention. In recent years, both in Italy and abroad, temporary actions on degraded or abandoned historic heritage are becoming more and more widespread. This testifies to the effectiveness that the surprise that temporary action produces, is able to reach an increasing number of people and increase their awareness of the themes of architectural and environmental valorisation and recovery. The aim of this intervention is to illustrate some recent experiences carried out in abandoned environments, identify their common features, any critical issues and outcomes, with the purpose of outlining possible scenarios in which temporary action can be a useful tool for preliminary action on built heritage.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
