Restoration and integrity: from concrete to ephemeral

ABSTRACT

One of the ways to understand the notion of integrity is the theory of restoration because it aims at the potential unity of cultural heritage. Integrity is a condition for the conservation of cultural heritage and has been the subject of debate in the last decades, but when the object of analysis is the historical gardens, we are referred to another reality - the absence of a theoretical deepening and, consequently, of a methodology for its verification. This problematic has driven writing since an article that provides an overview of how integrity is being thought and discussed and how historical gardens are being considered in view of their ephemerality since the main element is the vegetation.
