In building conservation projects, the impact of modernity on a delicate ecosystem such as that of the ‘Sassi of Matera’ can take on destructive aspects. There are many studies from which it can be deduced that there is a need to address recovery, re-functionalization and infrastructural integration, through the understanding of the urban environment and the opportunity to define a cultural orientation, that should be a sort of code of conduct that allows us to re-inhabit this architectural heritage. When giving new life to structures it is essential to respect the needs connected with modern living, but without altering their consolidated character over time, with interventions related to the original constructive, typological, functional and technological characteristics; at the same time, it is necessary to give particular attention to the integration and sustainability of the new interventions.
