In this field, throughout Europe, various ways of allowing citizens to take a more direct part in planning is stressed. It is also important to look at the role or lack of the role played by particular research fields. Architecture plays a major role in city planning. While Archaeology has become increasingly involved in field projects in urban environments, the discipline seldom plays an important role in City Planning. In several countries and particular cities this situation has been questioned during the last decades. In November 2018, a group of scholars from different countries met in Mersin, Turkey, to discuss about the relationship between Architecture, Archaeology and Contemporary City Planning. This book collects the final papers from that meeting.

It is of singular interest not only for the functional parameters but, above all, for its imposing appearance with wide dimensions, and other many interesting technical-architectural aspects: laying modes of wall structural elements (i.e., for access portals, intrados of vaults, moldings, architraves, jambs, thresholds, cantons), use and working technics of the granite stone expertly molded for the thick masonry, characterized by the presence of loopholes and continuous modulation of materials with moldings and worked stone ashlars to highlight the wall surface. The geomaterials used are local rocks outcropping in the area of Opera Punta Rossa, belonging to the Paleozoic granitic pluton of Gallura and to the associated filonean bodies (Upper Permian - Carboniferous, between about 320 and 270 million years ago). In the fortification have been mainly used the "granite" rocks (substantially biotitic granites and granodiorites) and subordinately also the filonean rocks (especially for irregular ashlars) with variable colours and dacitic-rhyodacitic composition. Generally, the cornices and the openings were made with the lighter greyish granite facies. The stone elements were laid in place using lime or hydraulic / pozzolanic based mortars. Conglomerates and cement-based concretes were used for throwing pitches in even thicker castings. In some subsequent renovations, bricks were also used. The photographic and digital relief was carried out using laser scanner methodologies, which has allowed to define the conservation status of the Opera Punta Rossa complex, producing a 3D model of the current state of building.

The present research project aims to investigate and systematize, the new digital restitution strategies of the fortification existing through laser scanning and digital mapping, in particular, on military structures, as well as reflect on the problem of protection and managing this specific kind of built heritage today so far from the motivations that once determined its construction.
