THE WATER AND ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY IN MEDITERRANEAN BUILDINGS

The link between water and architecture has always been expression the talent and “of the technical know.” This paper actually deals with the “tectonic sharp” of the proper water management that is the interconnection between resources, needs and architecture: thus the aforesaid tectonic sharp provides the “local” architectural language.
How to define the link between the building and the water resource is not quite simple to define because the “local” experiences are no longer feasible. This is due to the fact that the bio architecture introduces a fundamental requirements such as the analysis of climatic data and of the environmental resources and enables that innovation of technology, focused on the recycle and correct management of both rain water and waste exhausted water from buildings.
