VERBI VEnice Research BIbliography

The research carried out on the subject matter of “Architecture and Cultural Heritage” within the research line titled “Protection from the waters and the preservation of Architecture”, during the first three years of the CORILA research, is developed through four main sections, each based on historical, technical-analytical and compiling investigations: 1. Maintenance of city buildings in the Modern Age, 2. Protection from water’s actions in the Age of the Republic, 3. The Lagoon building culture and water, 4. Cataloguing of the city’s external plasters.
This work, already available in a series of publications, has yielded a wealth of systematic information on the history and physical structure of the Lagoon’s constructions, and was carried out also with the aim of supplying useful new tools and methods for the preservation of the city. All the information collected with regard to the studied problems has been collated with the aid of computer-based instruments; the resulting databases have been organised as open systems, able to receive further inputs.
