Greniers and raccards are pre-industrial rural buildings of Valle d'Aosta Italian region used for the agricultural products conservation and cereal processing. They are wooden blockbau buildings laying on a stone masonry basement and covered with stone plates. As important evidences of the regional identity, they are safeguarded by regulations, but often this is not enough to protect them from recovery interventions that strongly alter their significances. On the other hand, refurbishment and re-use are perhaps the only way to save these fabrics from decay and abandonment.

Abstract
Greniers and raccards are pre-industrial rural buildings of Valle d'Aosta Italian region used for the agricultural products conservation and cereal processing. They are wooden blockbau buildings laying on a stone masonry basement and covered with stone plates. As important evidences of the regional identity, they are safeguarded by regulations, but often this is not enough to protect them from recovery interventions that strongly alter their significances. On the other hand, refurbishment and re-use are perhaps the only way to save these fabrics from decay and abandonment. The methodology of the ongoing PhD research suggests to deal with the reuse of those buildings through flexible, sustainable and tailored interventions, which want to propose and improve the original climatic properties and characteristics of those traditional Alpine buildings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
