Plan safety containment of ancient cities for their conservation and enhancement
Since Second World War ended, more historical settlements haven’t had guide and mutations’ control,
therefore they had modifications for increase of population, and for depopulation and state of neglect.
Like conservation and consolidation activities, safety containment should share principle of “one method
and more techniques”,
therefore, in addition to static security, it should follow the principle of minimum
intervention, reversibility, physical and chemical compatibility between materials, visual compatibility in
urban environment. To do this, it would be necessary to use techniques, technologies and constructive
solutions selected for every singular situation.
The topics discussed give information to make conservation intervention of this sites to have a new kind of
urban fruition. Temporary structures, in addiction to static security, should be used for active revitalization,
for example: to recreate shape of ancient buildings, to integrate museum panels or to make panoramic
viewpoint, to allow the approach to the buildings for the historical, technological and anatomical studies,
etc.
