Innovation and Tradition - Respect for Tradition in the Architecture of the Past

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work shows some examples of architecture that have been able to combine the cultural and technological traditions of the places in which they are located with elements of innovation. The theme of respect for tradition in the great architecture of the past is discussed in the first part of the chapter. Three examples of great Italian architecture were chosen in which elements of innovation are inserted into projects in which the architect has chosen to respect the pre-existing structures. Subsequently, the use of materials and construction techniques belonging to the local tradition is discussed innovatively and continuously over time. Finally, some examples of contemporary architecture are displayed in which the designers have decided to respect traditions to make the works they propose better communicate with the environment, territory and society. Respecting traditional materials also turns out to be a method for creating eco-sustainable architecture.
