The Porticoes of Bologna and contemporary architecture. A proposal for a Minor Boundary Modification towards Kenzo Tange

The Porticoes of Bologna, recognized for their adaptability and historical significance, have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This inclusion highlights their role in mediating public and private space since the 12th century and their continued relevance through technological advancements and contemporary urban development. A notable example is the Barca district portico by Giuseppe Vaccaro, which bridges tradition and modernity. The study proposes a Minor Boundary Modification to include Kenzo Tange's arcades at the Fiera District, arguing for their historical and urban significance. This proposal aims to reflect on recent interpretations of the asset and its contemporary relevance.
