Abstract:
The aim of this Paper it is intermediate outputs of a research carried out at University of Pavia – R.A.I. research Unit within an Italian National Research Framework: “Regeneration and renewal of rural landscape”. This issue aims to the regeneration of the rural landscape, with particular focus on architectural design, which can become the tool for promoting the economy, the value, the memory, the identity and the environmental quality of the rural landscape to overcome depopulation and decay of rural towns. The awareness of the fact that the categories “rural” and “urban” appear meaningless, where it is a question of marking out the boundary that do not have a well-defined specific function and that are increasingly characterised by mixed complexity – economic, functional, social and cultural – leads to reviewing the strategic guidelines of managing the landscape and draws increased attention to the qualitative aspects of the landscape development and the humanenvironment relationship. A second very important aspect to point out is the resilience of the architecture in this concept of rural intensification: only the interaction of design and strategic actions seem able to provide results in terms of sustainability.
