Abstract

The volume contains several papers regarding research on the Colony Marine Dux by Ubaldo Badas in Cagliari carried out under the aegis of the regional project, “Landscapes of Water and the Metropolitan Project” funded in 2010 | 2011 by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia. The work continues prior research regarding the “Recovery and Conservation of Architectural and Urban Heritage of Modernist Architecture” conducted by the department of Architecture at the University of Cagliari. Interest in the Colonia Marina Dux in Cagliari – a mature design by Ubaldo Badas - is twofold; on the one hand, to trace the cultural events that led to the creation of an “interrupted architecture” and its completion, outlining the elements of typological expression upon which to confer identity and memory; on the other to experience the expressive potential of this work in a contemporary context through the integration (through design) of architecture and landscape (G.B.C.).
