ABSTRACT: A distinctive feature of modern Italian architecture is thè experimentation withnew materials and building technologies. It is worth mentioning that work in reinforced concretehas manifested many cases of construction flaws challenging us with diffidili preservation tasksbecause thè appropriate restoration of details is necessary for preserving an entire building,something that might conflict with preservation theories and principles. The restoration of twoworks of architecture in 20th century Italian new towns fìts into this line of research1. This pa-per will address thè "GIL" building in Arborea, Sardinia dating from 1933 designed by Gi-ovanni Battista Ceas and thè "Dopolavoro" building in Carbonia, Sardinia dating from 1937designed by Gustavo Pulitzer Finali.

1 INTRODUCTION

A distinctive feature of early 20* century modern architecture in Italy is thè experimentationwith new materials and building technologies, in particular reinforced concrete. This construc-tion technology has manifested many construction flaws, some almost immediately as in thèstone cladding at thè "Casa del Fascio" in Como by Giuseppe Terragni dating from 1935. Othercases, such as thè "Palazzo delle poste" (post office) by Adalberto Libera in Rome dating from1933, showed signs of structural problems later in its life. particularly in thè coping details andthè rain water drainage System. Structural flaws present us with difficult preservation tasks be-cause appropriate restoration of building details is necessary for preserving an entire building;however such preservation processes may conflict with preservation theories and principles (Fo-retti, 2005).

The restoration of two works of architecture in 20* century Italian new towns fit into this lineof research (Sanjust, 2002, 2005): thè GIL building, "Gioventù Italiana del Littorio" (Fascisi in-slilulion for Ihe physical education and military Iraining of young people) in Arborea Ceas(formerly known as Mussolinia of Sardinia) buill in 1933 and designed by Giovanni Battista;and thè " Dopolavoro" building (Recreational Club), localed in Carbonia in Piazza Roma, Ihecily's most important public space, built in 1937 and designed by Gustavo Pulitzer Finali.

2 THE GIL BUILDING AT ARBOREA, BY G.B. CEAS (1933-34)

The GIL building (Fig.l), approximately 10 meters in height, is based on a 4.5 meter strucluralmodule. The "hinge" of thè L-shaped pian is a square atrium with a centrai round pool that col-lects rainwater from thè roof (Fig.2), which is supported by a series of reinforced concretebeams resting on a circular architrave born by eight columns clad in solid brick in staggeredcourses of running bond. The two wings of thè 'L' are formed by thè covered gymnasium and

thè open-air swimming pool (8.70 x 20 meter). Another 5.5 meter high 'L' shaped wing partiallylinking thè southern and eastern fronts houses offices, a library, locker rooms, toilet facilities,and a Storage area. This wing is faced in staggered running bond brick and has ribbon Windowswith white wood frames. The main entrance, framed by splayed brick walls, is on thè main fa-cade and leads to thè atrium with thè circular pool by means of a brick stairway in a herringbonepattern. The main gymnasium wing has six round Windows on thè south side and thè samenumber on thè north from which three doorways lead to thè playing field by means of six stairsin brick in a horizon tal stack bond pattern laid transversally across thè tread. The gymnasium'swest-facing rear wall is characterized by a large expanse of fenestration (Fig. 3) consisting of a5 x 4 grid of rectangular Windows in varnished wood frames having awning openings. Thegymnasium has a 8 centimeter deep fiat roof in reinforced concrete. The structural System is en-tirely in reinforced concrete, formed by a series of portals. 4.5 meters on center, each consistingof two 40x84 centimeter columns and a 150 cm high T shaped beam having a 18 centimeterwide web and 40x40 centimeter flanges, connected by secondary beams (at distances of 2.70meter on center) that are 15 cm in width with heights that vary from between 23 to 40 centime-ters at their supports. At approximately 80 centimeters from thè lower surface of thè main beamis a dropped ceiling consisting of a primary wood strut System (11x13 centimeters section) andwood furring carrying thè melai lath. The gymnasium grandstand, near thè entrance atrium, iscomposed of a slab resting on two reinforced concrete beams (25x35/50 centimeters in section),originally accessed by means of two staircases contained in curved volumes, faced in runningbond brick.

Figure 1: View of thè building (1934).

The open-air swimming pool, located in a kind of scenic setting, consists of a full height exe-dra adjoining thè atrium containing thè circular pool, which is effectively extended by thè twolarge portals. (Fig. 4) The two beams forming each portai (placed at a level of 7.3 meters inheight, approximately 22.6 meters in length, set 2.5 meters apart with a free span of 18 meters)are in reinforced concrete with a long coffer closed on its end and open on thè lower side like aninverted 'C'. On thè intrados is a barrel vault formed by wood furring supporting meta! lathing.Supports are created by an independenl slructure of six columns with roller connections (Fig. 5);four together form a composite column, continuing thè beam itself from an aesthelic point ofview, while thè other two are structurally independent, faced in staggered running bond brick.

2.1 Projects from thè 1980s-1990s

During thè 1980s, renovation of thè building2 irreversibly modified some of thè spaces and hada profound effect on others due to their adaptation for use as a movie theater with thè installa-tion of thè mechanical systems and safety standards of thè lime (Fig. 6).

The square atrium was demolished to create a different one, miming thè originai style3, withthè addition of an intermediate floor (Fig. 7) to create a new mezzanine for thè movie theater inthè former gym space. The new steel columns clad in staggered brick courses were arranged in acircle that was larger than thè originai one to create an interior spirai staircase that would lead tothè new mezzanine, and bere intended to support a new roof slab that was positioned at a high-er level than thè originai.

A new volume (Fig. 8) containing elevatore and emergency stairs was located adjacent to thènorth side towards thè playing field. The circular openings in thè gym were closed and thè largeWindows on thè west side, closed during thè 1950s, were not reopened (Fig. 9).

Figures 5-6-7. A detail of thè roller supports of thè swimming pool beams (1933); thè mairi elevation dur-ing construction, 1980s; atrium, during construction, 1980s.

Figures 8-9-10. View of thè playing field, 1980s; thè large gymnasium Windows, 1980s; thè pool after itsexpansion during thè 1980s. Cracking in thè brick columns can be seen.

In previous years, thè pool had also been lengthened to reach thè regulation 25 meter lengthand its lile cladding had been replaced. The illustration clearly evidences thè presence, at thètime, of vertical cracking in thè brick columns on thè righi side, perhaps only hinted at in thoseon thè left (Figs. 10-11).

Giorgio Pellegrini's first research into thè architecture of Arborea dates from these years (Pel-legrini, 1994). Based on this research, thè view that thè project should not be completed becamewidespread and thè construction site was, in fact, closed down.

Later, in thè 1990s, after overcoming various administrative and economie difficulties, archi-tect Gianfranco Sanna was commissioned to design an overall restoration project for thè build-ing which included: demolition of thè addition on thè north side, thè spirai staircase in thèatrium and thè main entrance ramp; restoration of some originai conditions by. for instance,reopening thè large Windows on thè west side of thè gym, ali circular openings, and three conti-nuous doors to thè playing field; linoleum flooring in every room; revision of mechanical sys-tems (Figs. 12-13). The project did not (and rightly I believe) go so far as to propose thè restora-tion of thè atrium's originai configuration, totally lost at that point, and whose revival wouldhave forced thè issue unduly, given thè magnitude of thè changes that already been made4.

But this project was not completed, and some subsequent work, in part, distorted thè ap-proach, as revealed by thè flooring in thè gym and thè entire ground floor in slabs of Orosei

marble instead of in linoleum. Today, thè city council is trying to complete thè restoration whilefacing great difficulties due to thè limited funding available.

Figures 11-12-13. In this historic photo, thè beam's roller support can be seen (1934); thè atrium afterpartial restoration in thè 1990s; thè gym after partial restoration in thè 1990s.

2.2 Work in progress

The work under way was designed in accordance with thè restoration project dating from thè1990s, botti because its small size and fragmentation could not allow a new and different ap-proach 5, as well as because this approach is largely agreed upon (Fig.14).

Current work has involved thè completion of such finishes as: brick cladding of thè first flooratrium columns (Fig. 15); restoration of thè stair10 connecting thè gymnasium and thè playingfield, restoring its originai dimensions but utilizing different materials (Fig. 16); revision oflighting, electrical and fire protection systems in compliance with current codes; cleaning of thèatrium memorial, and its supporting base, in various types of marble. which had not been suffi-ciently protected during previous construction work; creation of a more correct proportional re-lationship between thè small pool (recalling thè originai) and thè atrium space through thè con-struction of a circular band in Corten steel, which also serves to mask thè lack of detail in thèfloor connection (Fig. 17).

Figures 14-15-16. GIL building, main entrante (2009); cladding of thè atrium columns (2009); stair resto-ration (2009).

Currently under construction: finishes of thè first floor stair and flooring in colored, sandedand waxed cement paste; railings of thè staircase and circular atrium in painted metallic pro-files; dehumidification of exterior masonry on thè ground floor.

A program for monitoring and analyzing thè most complex construction element, thè struc-tural solution adopted for thè large portals framing thè open air swimming pool, is now underway. Each of thè two portals is made up of two 22.6 meter long Vierendel beams resting on col-umns with roller supports. At 1/6 of thè span, Ceas introduced small staggered brick columns,which over thè years have shown signs of wear and vellicai cracking on ali sides and along theirentire height (Figs.18-19) but since thè columns are rather slender, (with a section of 30 x 60cm and a total height of 7.20 meters), this deterioration does not, however, denote serious struc-tural problems. Theoretically, given thè roller connections at thè terminal columns, we might as-sume that thè brick-faced columns should be structurally independent from thè beams above,and ongoing investigation will determine if thè connections were fixed during construction toreduce thè nel span to about 18m, or if over lime there has been some settling of thè beams orfoundations, thus loading thè columns which, as previously mentioned, are quite slender. Judg-

ing from thè form of thè cracking - vellicai and continuous along thè full-height and identical inthè four columns - we could exclude thè fact that thè phenomenon is caused by water infiltrat-ing behind thè brick cladding causing thè subsequent swelling of thè rebars. Structural monitor-ing will be executed by installing a small scaffolding to bear thè loads of thè beams. allowing,by removing thè last rows of thè facing brick to be able to operate, at thè beam connection, withhydraulic jacks to assess thè possible presence of loads acting on thè column; a visual surveywill assess thè state of preservation of thè concrete and thè possible presence of water infiltra-tion.

3 THE "DOPOLAVORO" BUILDING IN CARBONIA, DESIGNED BY G. PULITZERFINALI5 (1937-1938)

In this second case, thè principle alterations to thè originai building consisted of thè constructionof two new additions and incomplete and inappropriate maintenance work. Another variationregards thè building's relationship to thè surrounding public space: thè passage in thè buildingconnecting piazza Roma with thè rear gardens was closed in thè 1950s precluding their accessto thè public.

3.1 The rote ofthe building in thè public square (Fig. 20)

The Dopolavoro building is an important element in Carbonia's Piazza Roma creating thè hingebetween thè movie theater and thè Fascisi tower. The building is distinguished from thè adjacentones by thè lightness of its portico, accentuated by tali Windows aligned on both long sides giv-ing thè volume its transparency. Its role as connective fabric is underscored by thè use ofthe fullheight portico along thè entire length ofthe square, as opposed to thè exclusive use ofthe roundarch in thè other buildings on thè square. as well as thè simplicity and modularity ofthe facade'scomposition and plaster surface as opposed to thè mass of thè heavy rusticated stone characte-rizing thè tower and thè church along with thè more complex facades ofthe town hall and thea-ter.

The entrances to thè building's main hall are not placed on thè portico facing thè square buton thè opposite south elevation where a wide staircase of only three risers connects thè entrieswith thè large green area defined as "thè Dopolavoro garden." The connection from thè squareto thè rear garden is guaranteed by a covered walkway corresponding to thè portico's first baynear thè theater.

3.2 Gustavo Pulitzer Finali 's project

At thè end of 1937, Triestian architect Gustavo Pulitzer Finali designed thè project for thè majorbuildings in Carbonia's city center using a language that, despite thè autarchie restrictions, ma-naged to create buildings free from academicism and monumentality, as he had already ma-naged to do in thè small mining town of Arsia (today Rasa) in Istria. The Dopolavoro building

Heritage 20122042 R. Amoèda, S. Lira & C. Pinheiro (eds.)

is a rectagular volume (about 40x 1 Ox7meters) with a hipped roof, divided into two areas. On thèside near thè movie theater, thè building has two levels connected by a staircase having a mixti-linear forni while thè main double-height hall (200 square meters), originally used for man-agement meetings, is located on thè tower side. The centrai role played by this space is stressedby thè marble flooring and wall cladding. The two long elevations are marked by eight tali"English-style" openings (5.00x1.80 meters), modulated by small variations depending on inte-rior divisions. They are placed on a uniformly plastered wall with voids prevailing over solidsdespite thè continuous masonry wall structure.

Figures 20-21-22. View of thè Theater-Dopolavoro-Tower complex (1938); construction raethods of thèDopolavoro building in a summary drawing; great hall, 1938

3.3 The construction site and building (Fig.. 21)

Information about thè building's construction attests to thè execution of an absolutely autarchiework made up of hearing walls and brick or stone columns. The building was pegged out on thèground starting on January 17, 1938. Walls rest on continuous stone foundations separated byan asphalt waterproofing membrane while columns rest on isolated masonry footings. The wallstructure suffers from an excessive variety of mixed materials: concrete blocks, barely squared-off trachyte blocks and bricks fragments, ali jointed with poor-quality mortar having too muchsand and low cohesion. In contras! to thè poverty of thè other parts of thè building, thè roofstructure is in reinforced concrete trusses, prefabricated near thè construction site, legacy of thètown's coal-mining and industriai heritage. The horizontal structures are in concrete and maso-nry; dropped ceilings in wafer tiles (a la Ferrei); lile roof: interior finishes in plaster and floor in"bardiglio and white" marble in checkerboard patterns for public areas and crushed marblesquares for service spaces. The only high-quality construction detail is thè tali wainscoting inthè main hall in yellow Apuan marble. Interior wood doors were designed by Pulitzer as evi-denced by thè originai drawings.

3.4 Building deterìoration and alterations

The main hall and lobby have been, over thè decades, divided (Figs. 22-23) and used for com-merciai activity opening onto thè portico, so some portico Windows became shop entrances byaltering thè originai Windows. Later thè sash and finishes were replaced in part, and neon signs,alarms and new mechanicals were added. The closure of thè walkway to thè rear garden resultedin its transformation from an exterior to an interior space with thè demolition of thè existing fi-nishes and thè addition of those necessary for new uses. The construction of a new volume sig-nificantly altered thè building's rear facade. Deterioration caused by alteration or misuse can besynthesized by: additions, placement of grilles, shutters or infilled openings; signage and me-chanical fixtures on thè facades; replacement or modification of openings and window/doorunits.

The lack of structural daring or experimentation with materials and traditional constructionmethods helped thè building resisi thè attacks of lime. The major alteration to its originai statecan be attributed to thè abandonment of some of thè building parts and inappropriate and spo-radic maintenance. In summary, only physiological decay of stone facings and flooring. interiorand exterior Windows and doors and some concentrated roof leakage and humidity rising fromthè ground were found.

3.5 Design by singleparts

La The double-height great room is thè heart and generating element in thè Dopolavoro building(Fig. 24); thè architectural motif of thè full-height Windows is so closely related to thè room'sform that is projected onto thè building exterior.

The dropped ceiling, which had lost ali resistance and was not, in any case, considered to beof great quality, was demolished and replaced with plasterboard at thè sanie height. The black-and-white checkerboard marble flooring was, instead, restored.

Particular attention was paid to thè restoration of thè interior finish in yellow marble whoseslabs, almost perfectly intaci, had partially lost their adherence to thè wall structure caused bythè deterioration of both thè masonry and thè mortar bond; despite their thinness, thè slabs werecompletely removed and thè bond was restored by injecting fluid lime mortar.

The portico (Fig. 25), a unitary space that serves as a filler between thè square and thè build-ing's interior, as well as covered link between thè theater and thè tower, is 38.50 meters long,2.20 wide, excluding thè 50 centimeter columns, which have a cross-section of 1.00 x 0.50 me-ters, and is characterized by thè wainscoting in grossly hammered trachyte. The columns form 3meter bays and are 6.55 meters in height. The portico's interior facade has eight full-heightopenings, one in each bay, with wooden window frames and English-style mullions (now partlyreplaced). The Windows, measuring 1.80 x 5.00 meters, are made up of a doublé casement typecorresponding to thè ground floor; an upper part, consisting of three awning elements, corres-ponding to thè doublé height room; and other casement types corresponding to thè upper floorspaces.

From a structural point of view, there have been no particular problems. Decay was limited tothè loss of thè reinforcement cover in some sections of thè lintels and thè rupture of thè lowerpart of thè portico's hollow ceiling slab tiles. In both cases, thè project restored thè reinforce-ment cover, recovered thè concrete cover depth and provided new plaster with a colored finishcoat.

The portico's coarse green plaster, added over thè originai layer, was removed. The plasterwas redone in a straw-colored lime mix. A similar process was performed on thè interior facadeand soffii.

The decision regarding how to restare Ihe Windows and doors requires some additional de-tails and thoughts. Numbers: seven originai Windows had been completely replaced over thèyears; in two others, only thè parts relating to thè upper floor remained intact; only thè eightWindows in thè double-height hall were preserved. Of these, thè four that face thè rear of thèbuilding, which has never had any security System or maintenance, are in a very advanced stateof deterioration. Materials: thè sections of thè fir window sash range from 45 to 55 millimeterswith a simple stop; those on thè rear elevation facing south were literally decorticated by thè al-ternation of sun and rain brought by south winds and basically cannot be recovered.

We sought to assess thè impaci of thè actions needed lo introduce, at Ihe bare minimum,doublé low-emissivity glass (giving up insulating glass), a syslem of seals and hardware Ihalwould guaranlee a basic level of security. Considering thè greal amount of sash to be replaced(because thè existing sash was considered to be absolutely incapable of pertbrming thè work re-quired), thè decision was made to proceed with thè complete replacemenl of Ihe exisling sash.New Windows were produced based on delailed surveys of Ihe exisling Windows and on Pulilz-er's drawings.

The originai portico illumination is not known in detail and even historic pholographs do notprovide sufficient information. The choice was made to utilize Ihe same type of fixture used byPulitzer in thè double-height room, consisting of an opaline glass globe suspended from a melaipin, positioned al thè centers of thè portico bays.

4 CONCLUSIONS

The preservation projects are based on thè goal of preserving every originai element, to elimi-nate inadequate additions and to guarantee thè building's endurance over time. This simple andclear formulation summarizes thè entire process of identifying thè quality of thè originai build-ing, of thè additions that were deemed incompatible with those qualities and thè need to renderrecently constructed buildings - integrai parts of thè cities' built fabric - usable.

Other scholars might want to determine thè degree of compatibility of thè single actions de-scribed in this paper with theories regarding thè preservation of historical buildings. We areconvinced that we worked conscientiously in order to guarantee thè endurance of these build-ings and thè recovery of their historic meaning for thè locai community. These modest expe-riences are made available to thè scientific community in order to contribute, through builtworks, to thè progress of thè debate. The formulation of preservation theories specific to modernarchitecture is not among thè goals of our work.

ENDNOTES

' The Dopolavoro restoration project was carried out under thè auspices of Department of Architecture atthè University of Cagliari by a group made up of: Antonello Sanna (Department Director), Paolo San-just (architect), Antonella Sanna (engineer), Giuseppina Monni (engineer), and Antonio Tiragallo (en-gineer). The GIL restoration project was designed by Isabella Braga (architect), with thè consultane)of Paolo Sanjust (architect) and is currently under construction.

2 Designer Ing. Giuseppe Casciu contacted thè Architectural Heritage Authority regarding thè project, butthè authority did not recognize thè building's historical and architectural valile and so did not piace anyconstraints on thè project. The designer was left in a position to reinterpret thè building freely and torespond to thè needs of thè client/municipality who had indicated an intended use that led to thè inevit-able consequence - thè building's radicai transformation.

3 The designer proved to be sensitive to thè building's quality and sought to mitigate thè project's impaciby adopting a language that was attuned to Ceas' by cladding thè atrium columns and thè north addi-tions with staggered brick. If this approach did not lessen thè pain of losing thè originai atrium - a mas-terpiece of space and light - at least it integrated and "staged" thè new with thè existing structureavoiding further conflict. Casciu had already demonstrated this sensitivity in thè 1970s when heworked on Carbonia's Town Hall designed in 1938 by Gustavo Pulitzer Finali for thè coal-mining newtown. The proposed two/three storey addition to thè building shows Casciu's refined awareness of is-sues regarding existing environmental conditions and of thè early debate on preservation which waseven more important because it concerned fascisi architecture in an era Ihal had not yet fully unders-tood thè quality and value of this historical heritage.

4 In order lo avoid sanclions by Ihe Court of Auditors, which could have objected lo thè demolition (withpublic funding) of recently built works that had never been completed (also with public funding) thèmunicipality of Arborea asked Professor Pellegrini and thè Department of Architecture at thè Universi-ly of Cagliari for an officiai opinion regarding thè necessity and appropriateness of thè project; theysupported Ihe initiative.

3 Gustavo Pulitzer Finali studied in Monaco with Theodor Fischer. He was internationally renowned forhis naval architecture, often designed under thè firm name, STUARD (STUdio ARehitettura Decora-zione), founded, coincidenlally, with Giovanni Battista Ceas. He designed plans and many works ofarchitecture in thè new towns of RaSa (Islria) and Carbonia (Italy).
