The research that will be presented is part of a wider experience aimed at enhancing the Fort of Valledrane in the Municipality of Treviso Bresciano (BS), which will take place as a material testimony of the First World War. The study of the Valledrane area is part of an articulated research project, started in 2013 with the aim of configuring many ideas and reflections concerning the diffusion of memories related to the ruins and to the military structures built before and during the Great War located near the front lines, between the Stelvio pass and lake Garda.Our project does not want to change the ruin aspect of the Valledrane Fort and for this reason our idea is to add a new structure to the existing building without making changes to its conformation; in this way we leave free the design possibilities for a future conservation intervention.Keywords: Reuse, Ruin, War.
