ABSTRACT

The paper aims to investigating the aspects of a sustainable mixed construction, the so-called alla beneventana. This type of construction was coinceived as an anti-seismic part of architecture and it takes its name from the city of Benevento where it was used for the first time.

The masonry alla beneventana consists of a wooden frame with infill masonry or wood species, and can be distinguished from other types of so-called 'baraccate' masonries for the finishing mortar that covers both the frame buffers. Through examples identified in the Sannio territory, the paper focuses on the sustainable features of this building technique from multiple points of view (economic, social and ecological).

Parole chiave/Key-words: sustainable construction, history of technology, masonry, seismic behavior, preservation.
