The opportunities of exchange among scholars at an international level in the field of architecture open up to a dialogue, also from a multidisciplinary point of view, proposing contents and methods to be shared, in order to activate a profitable comparison on research proposals, study paths, experiences, results. The collection proposed here of many contributions presented at the first International Conference on Architecture, Urban Planning and Restoration wants to represent examples of reading, interpretation and intervention on art, architecture, historical fabric, in the belief that understanding the past is the best foundation for building the future.
