Terracruda in Sicilia: dal Patrimonio Architettonico alle potenzialità contemporanee

Earth architectures in Sicily can be linked to a technological continuity common to the whole Mediterranean basin. Until few years ago, we knew only examples of adobe building until the Hellenistic-Roman period. Some recent studies have found some traces of this technique in historical centre of Cefalù, in Northern coast of Sicily. Although evanescent, these tracks can reinforce the idea of using earth in the contemporary building production in Sicily.
