These studies related to sustainable tourism and were carried out throughout Italy with many varied results. They are now generating a great deal of interest. Reference can be made to our reports presented at the 7 (1997) and 12 (2003) Italian Tourism Report, at the Biennal of Barcelona (2003) as well as at the 1 International Meeting Matera Nature-City (2005), in the preliminary acts of the 1 International Meeting on the Nature-City. The concept of the Nature-City implies matching sustainable tourism to the problems of cultural goods, on the one hand, as well as to the environment and housing matters, on the other. Our first nature-city strategy focussed on the Sassi in Matera. At the beginning of the Fifties, Matera was an old, deserted Italian town. It was then declared part of the Unesco World Heritage; many of its buildings have now been reconstructed...

It results being a context of successes and insufficiencies from which a decisive step in the direction of a phenomenological architectural practice of eco-sustainability can be taken, through tests on both the scale of the nature-city as well as "residential dislocation". The paper deals with these new experiences in order to show the visions of projects and initial realisations. This research deals with the description of a phenomenological approach to design by two new procedures of direct union in relation with the beauty of sense of limit in architecture. Where the sense of limit is extended both to the availability of the resources and the concept of balance of the ecosystem in which architectures are immersed.

Un gruppo di lavoro dell'Unibas ha elaborato un progetto di recupero storico -ambientale del centro storico di Tricarico, basato anche sulla valorizzazione di orti e giardini di tipico carattere arabo
