Abstract

Post disaster reconstruction can be summarized as architecture as a process (Strappa 2014) because of its temporal nature involving changes and consecutive phases that directly influence the identity of the work itself and its context. The architectural and urban facts define the new image of the city (Lynch 1960), especially when the quality of public space is changed as an element of democracy and power management (Delgado 2011). Depending on how the processes of realization of these categories (architecture and urban design) are built, the social, institutional and physical distances (Porreca and Rocchio 2016), which invariably occur in a catastrophic event, can be increased or reduced. The paper analyzes the project and project categories (marker) proposed by a study of La Sapienza in Rome and the conceptual framework of regional UNDP models in Chile, Colombia and Ecuador. This research proposes procedural marker to be used during reconstruction to reduce the problems induced by the process itself and achieve more effective achievements.
