Evaluation of the Efficacy of Traditional Recovery Interventions in Historical Buildings. A New Selection Methodology

The traditional Mediterranean architecture shows the balance between nature and human activities, whose conservation has to consider the local characters and the low recovery technologies and lead to the recovery design, by favoring the criterion of minimum intervention.The research has found a complete systematization from the identification of housing types representative of the historical construction materials (calcareous sandstone and stone block) present in Puglia and Basilicata regions. Consequently you can assess the energy and static vulnerability of the pre-consolidation state and identify qualitatively and verify quantitatively the traditional recovery solutions, exportable on similar constructive units present in other environments.
