D. Sauvegarde – Resources

Presentation

The existing must be considered as a resource and the interventions that concern it, from maintenance to adaptative reuse, represent a major issue in the development of the city of the 21st century. The preservation project and the project within the existing are part of a constituted cultural discipline that extends the contemporary architectural project. Building within the built is not a new practice. But what makes it a contemporary attitude is the type of theoretical and practical questioning of the architectural object at all its scales, and it is the look at the materiality of the built that gives substance to the project.

The concept of resource is the basis for building a meaningful and effective architecture, interpreted as a framework for social activities and a rival investment, as much as it is interested in the architecture of construction, i.e. the industrial system that enables spatial ideas to reach sound built fruition.
