rationalist heritage

Application of a digital framework towards the comprehension and restoration of the thin marble envelope of the ‘Casa delle Armi’ built cultural heritage

"Casa delle Armi” by Luigi Moretti (1934-37), is the first modern building in Rome cladded in marble; its cladding was a reference for the architectural production in Italy, before the Second World War. The envelope is nowadays in need of urgent restoration. However, the strategy of intervention is not yet clear, due to technical problems and conflicting requirements.
