Unauthorized building and (non-)security - The building interventions follow precise rules and laws, that regularize any kind of intervention, from new building to maintenance and restoration of an existing building – or at least they should.
The unauthorized building phenomenon, in fact,
is a problem that in Italy is out of proportion in respect with other nations, as
much as being, for many people, not actually a crime, but simply a small cheat
to avoid troubles and useless expenses.
Actually, of course, those that some people consider
“troubles” and “useless expenses” are legislative regulations, formulated in
order to rule the building industry and the city planning: this to favour security, first of all, but also
decorum, order and functionality. In the Seventies there was an unauthorized
building boom, due to a kind of rush to the second house dictated by an
unequalled inflation: the “brick” has been instinctively considered the only
secure way to preserve the savings, that were losing their value day after day.
Hence, all this happened not caring much about the law, preferring a legal risk
instead of the disappearing of all one’s goods, and in that period not only the
poorest parts of society, but also the medium class participated in the “brick
rush”, thus increasing the volume of the unauthorized buildings.
Nowadays Italy still suffers from the
consequences of the unauthorized building boom of the Seventies and of the next
years; the following amnesty for infringements of building regulations, though
regulating the interested building, did not solve the items of security and
functional and aesthetical disorganization to which unauthorized buildings are
destined, leaving on the place where they are buildings that should not exist
but that, of course, represent a home to many families.
The topics related to building and architecture
are complicated and delicate; when building any construction you need to
consider a huge quantity of things, also keeping in mind that whatever you are
building is destined to be durable in time under everyone’s eyes, and it will
change the territory, the visual, the use of the area. The building
instruments, those giants manoeuvred by men, are cranes of every kind, from the
mobile cranes used in the building yards to the cranes used in the ports; the
building industry embraces a wide variety of areas, also including engineering
works of various types.
Think, for example, about the pound locks, that
is to say those canals that, thanks to a system of gates can make two canals
communicate even though they are on different levels, taking advantage of the
principle of the communicating vessels. The machine shops engaged in this kind
of implants often can also do water filtration jobs and other water-based jobs;
the building yards, in the end, can bring to various kind of constructions.
The instruments of which a building yard
disposes are many, from the well renowned craves to camions, and other
equipping of various kind; the laws on security for the building yards are many
and precise. Does follow them cost? Yes. But following the rules pays back; for
sure it does in terms of security, but, in a long term view, also in economical
terms.
