The Accessibility of the garden of Villa della Regina in Turin as an opportunity for valorization

Abstract

The objective of the research was testing the principles of accessibility to historic gardens for achieving accessibility in the three spheres: physical, communicative and experiential. The methodology adopted calls for the analysis of the cultural context related to the relationship between conservation and accessibility, taking the principles of "Design for all" and the study of the laws for the Disability and Cultural Heritage. The specific nature of the case required the knowledge of both the specificity of the historic garden and its conservation, and the characteristics of the garden of Villa della Regina in its various components. The work was shared in the different stages of definition with the stakeholders who have assessed and found weaknesses and strengths. The project has undergone revisions and adjustments. The aids making for the visit are modified so as to provide greater opportunity for inclusion of the public. A first result was the creation of aids to the visit -models, drawings and texts and words- useful to visit multisensory available on site and a part of us are usable for communication pre-visit
