Innovative evolution of traditional building techniques of minor architecture in the early 1900s

The research is part of the field of study relating to the knowledge and recovery of existing buildings in general and in particular in the study of building technologies used in the construction of widespread construction strongly characterized “Lucania” in the early 1900s. The main theme of this research is the development of the technology of reinforced concrete cast in place and subsequently prefabricated, at the turn of the twentieth century, with the first cases of variations made in the construction phase adapting to local construction practices and the new technical standards. We find interesting cases of study in Lucania in the minor widespread architecture such as the rural village "Taccone" of Irsina, as well as water tanks, silos, etc. The research tends to enhance this constructive heritage, analyzing and reinterpreting the used building technologies that, considered innovative for the historical period of reference, today have a value of testimony not to be lost or replaced. For this reason, the research is based on an acquired awareness of the attribution of value for a conservation intervention approach between "tradition-innovation".
