Abstract

Nowadays built environment has reached a relevant complexity, in terms of constructions and meanings, due to addictions and transformations, but also due to decay and damages. The contribute presented aims to show how historical images are a moment of knowledge in two PhD researches in Preservation of Architectural Heritage: they can give information about historical transformations of built heritage and consistence of modern interventions in archaeological remains. The possible use of images goes from facilitating the comprehension of the history of the building, the evaluation of its present vulnerability, till the project of interventions.
