Abstract

The paper proposes the synthesis of some recent research experiences carried out by the authors in Genoa and Liguria Region. These researches, committed by public authorities (Ministry of Cultural Goods and Heritage, Regional Department of Culture) and public owners (as the University of Genoa) are both theoretical and applied to single buildings or complexes. Objects of the researches are, in some case, ancient monuments (in need of re-use, renovation and restoration) located in the consolidated tissue of the contemporary city. In other cases we worked on Architectures of Modern Movement, spread off in or whole region, that need to be known and appreciated by the community, as first, and conserved and reused keeping attention to architectural, social, historical and constructive values. All the researches show a high interdisciplinary level among experts in architectural restoration and conservation, consolidation of traditional buildings, history and archival research, chemistry, ICT and digitalization, energy efficiency and thermal enhancements, technical equipment. These works has led to important repercussions in terms of safeguarding, restoration, renovation and re-use, social engagement with significant impacts on the future of the contemporary city. To quote some examples, we worked on the monumental complex of the Albergo dei Poveri in Genova (almost 60.000 square meters of total covered surface, built from XVII to XIX C.), preparing a general masterplan for its complete reuse and restoration (for crowdfunding). Another real case has been the historic palace Belimbau (one of the most important of Rolli Palaces in XVII C.) and thanks to our research and activities the University obtained funds to restore the monumental rooms and open them to the city. We also worked on the ancient former church of the Jesuits’ college (XVII C.) now abandoned and in need of a future destination and on the Prince Andrea Doria's Palace, one of the major Renaissance Villas in Genoa and, recently, on the Doge's Palace in the heart of the city
