The thesis “Architecture and Urban Landscape: Quality, Coherence and Transformations in Stradella between the 1950s and 1980s. Diagnosis and Proposals for Analysis and Enhancement” investigates the dynamics of urban growth and the architectural transformations that affected the Municipality of Stradella in the post-war period, a crucial phase in shaping its current configuration. The aim is to critically reconstruct the evolutionary stages of the settlement fabric, assess the quality and coherence of the architecture built between 1950 and 1980, and develop intervention strategies focused on conservation, regeneration, and the sustainable upgrading of the built heritage. The methodology combines historical-cartographic reconstruction, morphological and typological analysis, and direct survey, through a systematic comparison of IGM maps, archival building documentation, and historical and contemporary photographs. The research develops through three sequential phases, integrated by specific objectives: the documentary survey and source systematization phase focuses on collecting and organizing cartographic and iconographic materials to identify the role of the post-war period in shaping urban form; the phase dedicated to evolutionary analysis and diagnostic synthesis examines the city’s transformation dynamics with the aim of identifying elements worthy of preservation or renewal within the consolidated urban fabric; finally, the phase devoted to strategic guidelines formulates regeneration models based on current regulations, with the goal of providing operational guidelines to support local administrative decisions and defining a replicable analytical model for small- and medium-sized urban contexts. A central role is assigned to the comparative analysis of the succession of municipal planning instruments: from the early Building Programs to the 1974 Master Plan (which governed the period of maximum expansion), through the 1990s amendments, up to the current Territorial Government Plan (approved in 2012 and subsequently updated and revised, including the new 2024 Planning Document). This multi-level approach makes it possible to identify the main directions of expansion, transformations in the urban fabric, and modifications affecting residential, productive, and service buildings. Data interpretation is supported by a theoretical framework on urban morphology and an analysis of national and European regulations concerning conservation, safety, and energy efficiency, also in relation to the seventy-year threshold and the redevelopment targets set for 2030–2035–2050. The results show that the expansions of the period structured neighborhoods characterized by varying levels of architectural quality and compositional coherence, alternating valuable design episodes with fragmented or incongruous interventions. The diagnostic phase highlights both the potential and the critical issues of the existing heritage, proposing operational guidelines capable of integrating urban identity, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance, ultimately outlining a model of analysis and intervention that can be replicated in small- and medium-sized urban contexts.
La tesi “Architettura e paesaggio urbano: qualità, coerenza e trasformazioni a Stradella tra gli anni Cinquanta e Ottanta. Diagnosi e proposte per l’analisi e la valorizzazione” indaga le dinamiche di crescita urbana e le trasformazioni architettoniche che hanno interessato il Comune di Stradella nel secondo dopoguerra, periodo determinante per la definizione della sua configurazione attuale. L’obiettivo è ricostruire criticamente le fasi evolutive del tessuto insediativo, valutare la qualità e la coerenza delle architetture realizzate tra il 1950 e il 1980 e formulare strategie di intervento orientate alla tutela, alla rigenerazione e all’aggiornamento sostenibile del patrimonio edilizio. La metodologia integra ricostruzione storico-cartografica, analisi morfologica e tipologica e rilievo diretto, attraverso il confronto sistematico tra cartografie IGM, documentazione d’archivio edilizio e fotografie storiche e contemporanee. Il lavoro si sviluppa attraverso tre fasi sequenziali, integrate per obiettivi specifici: la fase di ricognizione documentale e sistematizzazione delle fonti, è volta alla raccolta e all’organizzazione del materiale cartografico e iconografico per identificare il ruolo del secondo dopoguerra nella definizione della forma urbana; la fase relativa all'analisi evolutiva e alla sintesi diagnostica, analizza le dinamiche di trasformazione della città con la finalità di individuare le emergenze meritevoli di tutela o rinnovamento all'interno del tessuto consolidato; infine, la fase che formula indirizzi strategici e modelli di rigenerazione basati sulle normative vigenti, con l'obiettivo di fornire linee guida operative per supportare le scelte amministrative locali e definire un modello di analisi replicabile in contesti urbani medio-piccoli. Un ruolo centrale è affidato all'analisi comparata della successione degli strumenti urbanistici comunali: dai primi Programmi di Fabbricazione, al PRG del 1974 (che ha governato la fase di massima espansione), fino alle varianti degli anni Novanta e all’attuale disciplina del PGT (approvato nel 2012 e oggetto di successivi aggiornamenti e varianti, fino al nuovo Documento di Piano 2024). Tale approccio multilivello consente di individuare le principali direttrici di espansione, le trasformazioni della trama urbana e le modificazioni intervenute sugli edifici residenziali, produttivi e di servizio. L’interpretazione dei dati è supportata da un inquadramento teorico sulla morfologia urbana e da un’analisi delle normative nazionali ed europee relative alla conservazione, alla sicurezza e all’efficientamento energetico, anche in relazione alla soglia dei settant’anni e agli obiettivi di riqualificazione previsti entro il 2030-2035-2050. I risultati evidenziano come le espansioni del periodo abbiano strutturato quartieri caratterizzati da differenti livelli di qualità architettonica e coerenza compositiva, alternando episodi progettuali di valore a interventi frammentari o incongrui. La diagnosi mette in luce potenzialità e criticità del patrimonio esistente, proponendo linee guida operative capaci di coniugare identità urbana, sostenibilità ambientale e adeguamento normativo, delineando un modello di analisi e intervento replicabile in contesti urbani medio-piccoli.
