The enormous new stock will, however, be almost immediately outdated by the arrival of the more restrictive rules under “The Future Homes Standard”. These events are a mirror image of the current and near-future ones occurring in all the nations of the European Union. The construction industries and real estate sectors of all these nations are faced with the looming obligations of retrofitting the housing just completed or even still in creation, in order to achieve the mandatory energy classes. In the light of this, the research reported addresses the adequate need for short and long-term strategies to rework our recently constructed buildings. The methodological approach is applied to the cases of two residential buildings recently built in the framework of an urban regeneration plan for northern England.

In tale scenario si colloca lo studio che coniuga i risultati di due ricerche, la prima riguardante i materiali ed il progetto del Moderno nella costruzione autarchica, la seconda inerente alle più generali problematiche della riqualificazione 'sostenibile' del patrimonio del Novecento. Trait d'union è un approccio che verte su una metodologia d'indagine impostata in termini di cultura tecnologica della progettazione. Parole chiave: riqualificazione, patrimonio moderno, cultura tecnologica della progettazione, autarchia e sostenibilità.

The raising of the threshold from 50 to 70 years before safeguarding norms come into effect means that local authorities and management companies have sole responsibility for the modification and safeguarding of this heritage. This paper looks at some examples of 20th century housing estates designated for upgrading in order to highlight the specific strategies adopted, selected from a range of actions based on the need for accurate knowledge and collective agreement by all the parties involved right from the design phase.

The present study examines this context, drawing on two programs of applied research: the first concerning materials and Modern architectural design under Italian “autarchy”; the second concerning more general problems of sustainable rehabilitation for 20th century heritage properties. The two programs share a research methodology in which the knowledge-building stage extends to interpretation of the construction, in terms of the “technological culture” of the original architectural planning.
