Journal Title: Architecture and Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The debate on the modern architectural project in the historical city is one of the most interesting subject in our society. Architecture represents the cultural imprint of an age and from the care of the cities and territories is possible to judge the quality of a govern.
