摘要
The method of research and design that characterized Gellner has been analyzed in depth in this research and his own steps have been retraced on some themes.The uniqueness of his method lies in the way he transformed the data and information gathered into design outcomes on both a large and small scale by reinterpreting traditional architecture and reconstructing elements of the landscape through its shapes and colors.This method applied to town planning also led other planners to use the elements he synthesized within their projects,creating a contemporary landscape for the great event of the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo.The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of this approach to the transformation of the territory and to emphasize the need to preserve these significant works also in view of the new Olympic event that will cross these valleys in 2026.
