This paper identifies three research tracks on tradition and its cultural matrixes, seen in connection with design practices and in relation to form, archetype and workmanlike construction. An "explorative" approach is adopted by interpreting some key issues on architectural regionalism and energy- environmental design. Six designs by Renzo Piano are used as exemplary case studies of different possible interpretations of sustainable design, of which an original reading is offered. The issues dealt with have been investigated through teaching and research activities and through reports on building visits, lectures, conferences and investigation of original bibliographic references.

Abstract
This paper identifies three research tracks on tradition and its cultural matrixes, seen in connection with design practices and in relation to form, archetype and workmanlike construction. An "explorative" approach is adopted by interpreting some key issues on architectural regionalism and energy- environmental design. Six designs by Renzo Piano are used as exemplary case studies of different possible interpretations of sustainable design, of which an original reading is offered. The issues dealt with have been investigated through teaching and research activities and through reports on building visits, lectures, conferences and investigation of original bibliographic references.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
