Historical authenticity of modern architecture: preservation and regeneration of Olivetti architecture in Ivrea

Ivrea's city plan, introduced in 2002, demonstrated that modern architecture can be preserved and regenerated while fostering public appreciation for such heritage. This approach was pioneering in uniting innovative conservation strategies with initiatives to safeguard unique modern architectural landmarks, notably the Olivetti districts, which are now under consideration for UNESCO World Heritage status. The plan served as a test-bed, showcasing the feasibility of integrating preservation efforts with urban regeneration, thereby setting a precedent for future heritage conservation projects.
