Connections Among Scales in the Settlement Processes of the Sardinian Rural Landscape: The Gavoi Case

The last seventy years have created a gap among the elements of the historical landscape and those produced by new political, economic and social dynamics and their interactions. The research examines the rural landscape part, regulated by the symbiosis between the city centre and its closest cultivated territory that ensured the subsistence of the village. The investigation focuses on two different scales: on one hand the large-scale logic, the historical/governmental processes and the consequences on the soil organization, and on the other the urban and architectural impact that these factors have. Which are the morphological, typological, functional variations that these processes cause? How does the housing change? The case study - the village of Gavoi - clarifies how these dynamics take place.
