Methodological approaches for the enhancement of cultural heritage

Abstract

The subject of this essay starts by considering how, in many cases, artificial lighting outlines such as finding an “impalpable material” which helps to understand and enhance the ancient contexts. In general, it was demonstrated that, combining innovative technologies, light can be used to change the world, to shape cities, as well as architecture and space in general. Light can turn into concrete matter both in interiors, in archaeological and urban spaces. There is the possibility to obtain a recovery of memory and identity of a city, in order to achieve efficiency and effectiveness of the results. Starting with an overview of experimental research methodology it is possible to define and improve the built environment, either ancient and contemporary. Nowadays, we recognize the need for a renewed commitment to the questions posed by the contemporary city to imagine new constructability scenarios which pay attention to energy efficiency. Our century is characterized by uncertainty of a design approaches that lead different areas of the “buildable space”, then the strategic role of technological innovation is that of changing this mental attitude, maintaining the world we live in.
