The works selected for this issue confirm that the themes of infill, reuse, grafting and, more in general, the on-going confrontation with the existing, represent a way of working regarding which Italy has developed an original and constantly evolving approach.

The projects selected in this issue expand this field to include researches that propose the themes of the archaeological platform, of historic architecture, of grafts involving ancient and new fabrics, the reuse of military and industrial architecture.

The examples of residential architecture presented in this issue testify to an inversion in urban planning policies in Belgium.
