Resumen de The development, recovery and reuse of the architectural and urban heritage: former barracks as university location
The contribution proposes an investigation on the Villarey former barracks, an historic building considered part of the architectural heritage of down-town Ancona (Italy), recovered as a university location. The methodology includes two main fields of observation: on the one hand, the analysis of the original design drawings leading to the building of the barracks (1865–1868); on the other, the reading of the restoration project drawings illustrating the design process for the recovery and redevelopment of the Villarey former barracks as the Faculty of Economics of the University of Ancona, Italy (1989–1998). Through typical methodologies of the disciplines of Representation, the events leading to the recovery of an important urban and social down-town area of Ancona (Italy) can be retraced.
