The expansion of heritage has extended the scope of restoration to diverse contexts, from archaeological sites and fortified systems to historic centres, twentieth-century architecture, and productive landscapes. This paper argues that such expansion does not require a redefinition of the foundations of restoration, but their rigorous articulation in response to different conditions of the existing fabric. Drawing on cases from Abruzzo, Molise, and Campania, it examines knowledge as the critical foundation of conservation design in relation to forms of permanence, transformation, and vulnerability. Conservation is thus understood as a critical process aimed at transmitting the historical, spatial, and territorial relationships through which heritage remains intelligible over time.
