‘Conservation’ in the sense of a constructive way of working on architectures of the past is based on principles which abandon the idea of absolute historicism and of a rational and progressive historical process, recognisable in its integrity; and which rather accept historical relativism and therefore the changeability and continuous broadening of horizons and methods of knowing and attributing value. From this viewpoint the role of architecture seen as a specific witness linked to a time and as such able to integrate the succession and modification of its physical and semantic condition into the process of history is clear. A restoration design must therefore understand this process and make it recognisable together with the knowledge that it belongs itself to this stratification of events which determine the overall value of housing projects.
Keywords: Historical relativism; conservation; transformation
