This research on Gio Ponti’s Garzanti Foundation in Forlì is an opportunity to reflect on the conscious reuse of twentieth-century architectural heritage. In a structure that has been profoundly (and often inappropriately) transformed, the recognition of its original values constitutes an essential prerequisite for guiding future reuse strategies. The research began by examining the original drawings (CSAC archive), reconstructing the project through a comparison with the built work. Particular attention is devoted to the Foundation's hexagonal windows: their restoration is one of the most delicate challenges, demonstrating how only an in-depth knowledge of the monument can enable strategies that combine enhanced performance with the preservation of the original architectural project.
