Abstract

Within the sphere of reconstruction it would be interesting to propose a tentative interpretation of examples of structures related to issues of land reform. In post World War II Italy (the period of reconstruction of a Europe destroyed by war) an important architectural experiment was undertaken that sought a subtle balance between urban and rural space through the modulation and repetition of rural typologies.

This study is based on a type of construction that responds to a rural demand which denies the role of the aggregation of the city and people to categorically determine the territorial structure. The processes of reform and settlement are characterised by a speed of implementation capable of leaving an indelible print; it is a rapid process of territorial transformation, which generates the basic tightly woven fabric, the houses, which act as a resistant skeleton, an element that both organises the territory and is used to create roads that connect the hubs of an extended system.
