Abstract
Water architecture, apart from bearing witness to the art of building and the techniques used through history, bears significant immaterial value which strongly binds it to the history of its location. More than other work it is subject to degradation and re-building, more than others, it preserves the signs which connect us with the religion before the settlement, with the territory’s political planning and with the artistic or symbolic shapes which populations pass on from generation to generation. In Sardinia, where the heritage of art and monuments comes to us only in a limited number of cases but where thousands of areas of water define a particularly rich territory -sometimes surprisingly so – the architectural heritage and historical evidence come to us through categories which are open to unusual kinds of interpretation: the correlation with medieval settlements, the strong sense of permanence of models and uses connected with the administration of the land, and building traditions deriving from an incessant alternation in the history of technical competences due to the confluence of the archaic mediterranean culture, the hispanic-muslim world, and finally with modernity. It is therefore a regional case study, but widely connected historically and geographically, so as to build a useful subject of comparison for studying architecture in other contexts.
