restore — resilience of heritage in seismic territories: an overarching research

The project is aimed at performing a multidisciplinary study to find innovative methodologies and tools to protect and preserve the Cultural/Human Heritage in environments that change physically — and thus socially and economically — due to natural events such as earthquake and other catastrophes. Some recent natural disasters have sadly showed how weak and vulnerable the human/ cultural heritage could be, in relation to such events. The certainty that other disasters could come requests to think at innovative solutions that could allow the Heritage to survive and go to the future generations. This is a matter of several perspectives: urban, architectural, civil engineering, sociological, psychological, legislative. Moreover, the recognisability and the awareness of external and internal places/scenario, is an important part of resilience.
