Hortus inclusus e chiostri urbani. Un approccio per il recupero microclimatico

The topic of functional recovery and the valorization of urban open spaces centers on an oftenoverlooked building type: urban cloisters, which were historically surrounded by convents. In this contribution, the author discusses the restoration of two large monasteries in Parma that are set to be transformed into student residences. The restoration project is further enhanced by the integration of microclimatic analysis and related design considerations.
