Abstract
A deep knowledge of a building or a city centre is needed before undertaking any planning or restoring activities.
This knowledge becomes particularly essential when historical buildings or towns are concerned, but it seems to be less important when the subjects are territories and landscapes. Such a resistance to change the scale, together with the lack of a true culture of landscape, are the result of wrong or restrictive scopes that ignore the heritage qualities produced by centuries of human traces. We focus on the construction of the territories and the landscapes by means of both innovative and traditional methodologies.
