CONSERVAÇÃO INTEGRADA DE BOLONHA: UMA ANÁLISE CATEGORIZADA DA OBRA DE PIER LUIGI CERVELLATI

INTEGRATED CONSERVATION OF BOLOGNA: A CATEGORIZED ANALYSIS OF PIER LUIGI CERVELLATI'S WORK

Abstract

When approaching Integrated Conservation, it is common to refer the genesis of its notion to interventions and the promotion of social housing in Bologna historic center (Italy) in the 1960-70s. However, despite Integrated Conservation having a long experience, a clear concept has not been forged addressing its methods, objects, nor its categories of analysis. This analytical generality as to its nature and scope allowed the Bologna requalification process to be associated with a myriad of projects, some of them frontally opposite in objective and strategy. This article seeks, through the bibliographical review of the works written by Pier Luigi Cervellati and his team – Interventi nei centri storici: Bologna, politica e metodologia del restauro (1973) e La nuova cultura delle città (1977) – and related authors, analyze the experience of requalification in Bologna through four categories: the habitat; the relationship between the historic center and the metropolis; and collective property rights and public control of land income. An analysis based on these categories allows, therefore, to clarify their inherent presuppositions and paradigms.
