Abstract
The increased sensitivity in terms of quality of public spaces and community assets collides with one of the saddest periods in availability of private and public financial resources to fulfill every good purpose. For some time now, at the "Colour and Light in Architecture" IUAV Research Unit, we are conducting some experiments to preserve, maintain and valorize public assets such as schools, forts, residential buildings. As known, the perception of color is usually done in different manner from person to person, based on an infinite number of parameters. Some concerns the age and gender of the perceiver. Other parameters are connected to the social level of the perceiver, to the geographical location or the weather conditions and so on. Basically the discrimination occurs in natural terms as well as the environmental and historical-cultural ones. So, for a researcher involved into an architectural project all the mentioned parameters, concerning the perception and particularly the colour and lighting conditions are strategic topics to take into account, particularly when preservation, maintenance and valorization works are to be planned. Involved into the colour and light in architecture study our research unit need continuously to test and verify the scientific hypotheses to give good responses in order to increase the environmental quality. In each case we study the most appropriate approach to cut down the costs by the maximum achievable result. In any one of the study cases the policy is targeted, although the ambition would be to find possible common traits that bind so many different subjects (schools, forts, residential buildings). However, the invariant consist in the use of color and / or light. It’s known that these aspects of the physical reality are capable to produce clear positive results against very low investments. But it is to never forget that these topics are very difficult to manage, and a high level of specialism is required to reach appreciated results.
