Interscalar and interdisciplinary approach for a valley community. The case of Sappada

Our research aimed to explore an inter-scalar field in which architectural design tools are intertwined with urban and territorial scales. The case is an enclave between different limits: a valley near the border with Austria, located on the edge of north of Veneto region with an ethnic-linguistic heritage of Germanic matrix, administratively migrated in 2017 to Friuli Venezia Giulia region. 5 main themes (naturalistic system, tourism resources, local economies, territorial infrastructure, historical identity heritage) emerged from the analytical phase of the research conducted with the engagement of different stakeholders. These 5 themes in turn represent the inter-scalar field in which different design explorations at urban and landscape scales has intended to interweave possible relationships with territorial and urban plan.
