The paper aims to illustrate a project, developed by a group of professors and doctoral students of the Department of Architecture and Design of the La Sapienza University of Rome, located in the archaeological area of Rome, precisely at the entrance to the Roman-Palatine forum, near the temple of Antoninus and Faustina (today the church of San Lorenzo in Miranda), a place called Largo della Salara Vecchia, currently defined by an irregular plan and by the presence of some small service volumes.

To set conservation project in sustainable human development means to understand in-becoming reality, turning the static vision into a dynamic approach that considers life cycle as theoretical-methodological base, articulated in different and integrated steps. Historical architecture, in Mediterranean basin, assumes a type-morphological structure in coherence to microclimatic characters of site, defining the optimization of energetic relationships with surrounding natural environment.
