The documentation of the urban historical heritage is the preliminary step to identify the correct strategies for its protection and enhancement. To achieve this aim it is necessary to acquire a graphic documentation at the different scales of detail required by a multi-layered system as the historical landscape; this complexity can now be explored integrating traditional and digital survey methods and representation methodologies. Traditional methods, in particular, are characterized by a direct contact with places; this condition guarantee a deepest perception and a total immersion in the landscape integrating and giving quality to the considerable amount of data offered by recent technologies; this approach has been applied in the survey of the historical city of Cagliari in which the medieval districts of Marina, Stampace, Villanova and Castello retain a great part of the modern walled system built since the fourteenth century until the first half of the nineteenth century and a lot of interesting buildings designed for civil, public and religious use.

The contribution proposed is a part of a research aimed at the definition of methodologies for the analysis and representation of the landscape of Sardinia, with particular reference to one of its most important and characteristic versions: the landscape of the wetlands. The history of the city of Cagliari is strongly linked to the sea and the lagoons, elements that constituted the authentic “settlement principle” where the lagoons, in particular, were sources of decisive resources as well as for fishing, for the landing (especially the western ponds) and salt extraction (mainly from the Molentargius pond). The case study consists in a part of the regional natural park Molentargius-Saline, a system of considerable environmental and landscape value that hosts examples of industrial archeology. Through a multi-scale approach that links traditional and IT tools it is possible to define some representative graphic models of the studied landscape in order to plan its protection and enhancement. The comparison between historical maps and aerial images here presented is the first step of a path of knowledge that explores, analyzes and wants to highlight the most important transformation that occurred in this area since the nineteenth century and a partial preservation of historical cultural landscape.

In the present cultural outline the fundamentals and the paradigms concerning the architectural design are in condition of crisis; the discussion about architecture is reduced to a talk show, while the real transformations of the urban space are passive recipients of private sector demand. The architectural design aims to create "compelling objects" that manipulates forms and materials and are justified only by the architects will to be protagonist. Most part of contemporary architectures seems to produce forms that wants to be all the fashion; they reflects the ornamental and ephemeral character of the mass society and of the age of globalization loosing the search for the essential. The oppositions against the standardization of places, spaces and structure of anthropic space could be a way of resistance that aims to link the architectural design to some paradigmatic principles on which lies the European architecture identity. In the context of the mediterranean architecture Sardinia is a very interesting field of research; for years Sardinia has been considered only a beautiful place for holiday but recently some big "archistar" like Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron or Men-des Da Rocha has been invited from the local government in order to design and realize some important transformation. The first probably will be museum Betile in Cagliari designed by Zaha Hadid. Those programs has attracted attention on architecture in Sardinia that, in Italy, has been always put at the edge of architectural debate. But all the architectures designed by the star achitects are "compelling objects" and they seems disconnected with history, place and humanity. On the contrary modern and contemporary Architecture in Sardinia is characterized by superimpositions and contaminations among the specificity of the place, its attendant building tradition and the influence of different design experience. The architectonical language and the expressiveness are deeply influenced by a mix of different tendencies because in Sardinia worked a lot of architects that came from different places and from different architecture schools as Rome, Florence, Milan, Genua. Nowadays is clear also the influence of the way of design that belongs to spanish and portoguese architects. The concept of identity is central; in Sardinia; it is something singular and typical, and for architects is also a choice, in the sense that it reflects their intentions. The identity of a place is, in fact, what survives the continuous changes of the spatial and functional arrangements of the territory, and gives an indelible character to the sceneries where the existence of human beings, and that of forms, merge.
