Abstract

For some decades the pure concept of resilience had been the only declination of a little-explored field of research. Nowadays the notions of urban and cultural resilience, socio-economic systems, adaptive circles are part of different academic languages, but their application to urban systems is still limited to a predominant environmental view. This text highlights a possible reading of the aforementioned concepts in the historical urban heritage and in the cultural legacy of the Italian context, taking as examples the protected built heritage and the traditional craftmanship ability – lately evolved into ‘industrial design’. These fields, bonded among themselves, will be studied empirically in order to find tangible evidence of the resilient systemic dynamics and adaptive circles, setting up the basis for broad ranges of future researches.
