being understood that different interdisciplinary evaluations have allowed for introducing new
changes in construction and even in the possible demolition of existing structures.
What often distinguishes the energy retrofit projects, in this area, is a complete makeover which,
together with the increase in the building’s energy performance, presents new and different formal solutions. In the Vigne Nuove case, instead, it was necessary to follow a logic which allowed
for variations linked to improving energy sustainability, quality regarding well-being and, not
least, a social renewal of the whole suburb without, however, revolutionizing the original building
features, with modifications and reconstruction work respecting the original spirit of the initial
project. As seen in other cases similar to Vigne Nuove, where a complex has been recognized for
its undeniable quality, it must be hoped that also here, along with the already many parameters
and indicators required to formulate the project, the knowledge of the buildings will be considered, also from an architectural and historical point of view, so that their particular worth will be
able to be preserved over time.
