Abstract

The themes of the meeting represent a group of fundamental questions for any attempt to analyze the restoration project. The paper is constructed around these questions with some references to the history of restoration and using some documents (graphic and written) related to interventions on existing architectures belonging to the past arid to the present age. A first group of problems belongs to the "world of the language" or to the forms of verbal communication related to the "conceptual construction" and to the "explanation" of the restoration project (from the critic essays, to the technical and administrative documents); a second group of questions regards the forms ant types of descriptive documents used for the realization of the intervention and the diffusion of its results (from the general or detailed drawings to the modern data-base or to the "virtual models"); another kind of problems, at last, is connected with the possible objects of the restoration, linked to the different historical periods (from the world of meanings, to the physical consistence and re-use of ancient buildings). The paper offers a simple occasion of discussion and debate, knowing that the- se important problems do not admit any simple technical solution or generic cultural answers. It is important to think in a critical way to a theory and to a practical work that. even if are more than two centuries old. are not completely solved. In particular, the theme of the language, that seems to be so theoretical could allow a new chance of concrete discussion leading our attention to the "things and to the operations", while the discipline sometimes lost itself between "words" without meanings. Key-words: Restoration project - language and drawing – architectural survey
