Opere della fortificazione permanente della frontiera orientale: architetture, tecniche costruttive e prospettive di recupero

The article presents the research results concerning the architectural and construction issues of the military fortifications built during the Cold War. These buildings, conceived as a ‘diffused and continuous’ defensive system, strongly characterized the landscape of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Developed by scientific accuracy, the study concerns the technical features and the placement distributed along the eastern border. It began with the analysis of the original projects, now declassified, then examining in an organic and correlated way, the typological and formal characteristics, materials and building technologies. Lastly, the possible refurbishment and reuse of this particular heritage are analysed.
