The research aims to develop a gradual understanding of the places and the relationship that the manor farm has established with its environment. More in depth, the research seeks to analyze how the orientation, the aggregation of the different functions within the same unit within the same rural unit and the construction system, are the result of a planning based on environmental parameters on environmental parameters elaborated on the basis of traditional Apulian and traditional Apulian architecture and applied over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other objectives of the study are to identify the theoretical contribution that may have influenced the knowledge of the workforce involved in the design and construction of the manor farm; which of these knowledges derive from the experience acquired living in these places; finally, what parallels never seen before can be found in the dense network of Apulian farms and similar buildings located in the Mediterranean area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relationships made even more complex by the use of the farms themselves for tourism purposes. Therefore, we will try to understand how agricultural production coexists with tourist exploitation and to what extent they overlap or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
