IL CANTIERE DELLA “CA’ GRANDA”. LA STORIA DEL MANUFATTO NELLA LETTURA DELL’ARCHITETTO-CONSERVATORE

Abstract

Knowledge is a methodological tool aimed to enlighten an architectural complex. During the preliminary survey a synchronous reading of the existing scientific documentation and of the new data coming from the examination of the site, is allowed. The links among the analytical view from one side, and the collected data, from the other, are the base for the continuity between past and future. Material histories, not always documented in archives, influence methodological choices as to surfaces features. This process is considered as a step in the knowledge process regarding the building, its physical truth, its historical burden; the intervention works implements and stratifies this process, creating new relations and meanings. Doing this, the knowledge offered by the different professionals involved constitutes an approaching tool even for the non-experts. It is a new way of building with the meaning of stratifying, adding, interpreting with and for the community; a modern mode of sharing and feeling about the public affairs.
