"Trabocchi": a sustainable technology for marine environment

Studies about typical places and constructions, allow grasping appropriate suggestions for particular environmental and social situations. It this research program, from the analysis of trabocchi - characteristic constructions for fishing spread in the Adriatic seaboard of Abruzzo (Italy), in which it is optimized the relationship between pile work structures and the dynamic sea stresses – we aim to define indications for sustainable seaside resorts aware of the environmental problems. The trabocchi are outcomes of chooses related to the local resources and the material culture, the result of shapes, structures and materials use optimization respect to the specific climatic and technical conditions; they represent also a right reference for building and maintenance processes organization. The architecture of "site" analysis takes on a meaning of re-approach to local building knowledge, characterized by resources economy and solutions simplicity.
