Abstract
After an earthquake, the devastated / uninhabited city receives a new occupation: the provisional securing works that transform the image and the use of the places. One wonders about the possibility of considering these works as elements of regeneration of a landscape in which the community can still recognize itself. It is possible to re-read this type of interventions from an architectural point of view, interpreting them as parts of an installation capable of making the city usable. The investigative paper is supplemented by a design experimentation carried out in the city of Norcia, hit by an earthquake in 2016. In particular, from the securing project of the Monastery of Sant’Antonio, a generalization of the possibilities of intervention has been reached with the aim of rethinking the STOP-UP Vademecum cards (where STOP-UP stands for Schede Tecniche delle Opere Provvisionali e Usi Potenziali, that is Technical specification of Provisional Works and Potential Uses).
