Summary : This book reports on an architectural conservation and reuse project in Anipemza, an Armenian Soviet-era village on the Turkish border, just a few steps away from the important Yererouyk archaeological site. Based on current tourist trends, the book suggests the development of a social system and micro-economic reactivation model to endorse the territory’s numerous cultural resources and preserve the memory of the village that housed the genocide orphanages and the many other stories associated with the village. Further, the development of sustainable tourism will lead to an improved relationship between locals and visitors. Examining the development of a system of strategies able to cope with the existing social, economic and hygiene problems as well as the architectural preservation aims, the book provides valuable guidelines for the local community.

Summary : Che cosa significa lavorare “per” il patrimonio culturale nei Paesi emergenti? Quali interrogativi etici e quali problemi concreti occorre affrontare nel momento in cui si passa dalla teoria alla prassi? Il volume traccia alcuni percorsi di riflessione a partire da esperienze significative condotte nell’ultimo decennio in contesto internazionale, nell’ambito della conservazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio esistente. A partire dalle difficoltà nello sviluppare un progetto di conoscenza, alla complessità del cantiere sino alle strategie di valorizzazione e ai processi di capacity building, il tentativo è quello di costruire uno scenario di riferimento in grado di restituire la complessità dell’operare in questi contesti, ma anche la preziosa opportunità di condividere e arricchire il proprio bagaglio di conoscenze.

Summary : Multan, one of the oldest inhabited cities in the Asian subcontinent and the sixth largest within the boundaries of Pakistan, is a city in the Punjab Province of Pakistan and capital of Multan District. A very complex place, where the process of constant stratification have left many signs on the urban texture. Here the different issues and problems involved, often with no easy solutions, face with the ethical responsibility and cure required from the historic and cultural heritage: how can we improve the urban quality and the living conditions of the inhabitants and at the same time preserve the unique identity of the places? These “Guidelines” try to face a challenge, testing new ways of project, starting from the specificities offered by the local culture and putting in place alternative practices of architecture.
