ABSTRACT

This research focuses on the IACP district of Tiburtino II (1927) in Rome, a type of architecture recognizable by the forms, the volumes and especially by the attention to construction’s details and to the architectonical language. Nowadays, a century after their creation, these buildings are in decay and their materials have become obsolescent. They have been interested by significant and incongruous transformations of their original characters. The aim of this work is to research a method of operation on these particular type of buildings directed to the regulation of compatible transformations rather than to the restoration of the original characteristics. The challenge is to inflect the principles from traditional and critically-meant conservation on modern materials and on particular needs of these architectures which are in a constant state of domestic use, adopting a forward-looking vision for their preservation and transmission to the future.
