Updating the memory

We believe that the most relevant part of the definition of “restoration” above, which has long been used as the foundation for our teaching, is the final part, which poses the “increase of knowledge” as the objective of the preparatory analysis phase and of the decision-making and propositional phase, both of which are specific to the activity of planning. If every object — in our case every architectural artefact — has its own peculiarity, constituted first by forming itself in the sphere of thought (individual or collective, but in any case subjective), and then being concretely realised in physical space and therefore confronted by time, by the transformations that derive from anthropic and natural actions, then its interpretation always constitutes an activity of enrichment with respect to its semantic and expressive potential.
