Abstract

The paper deals with the design approach for post-seismic interventions aimed at safeguarding historical buildings in seismic areas, consisting prevalently of masonry structures that, by type of technology, even if within exceptional cases respectful of “the rule of art”, do not guarantee the compliance with the resources necessary for the demand for resilient and structural capacity. In particular, the paper deals with the issue of applying technologies that use constructive ideas and concepts of the past or, as they are usually called pre-modern, reinterpreting them through the use of innovative and extremely performing materials.
