| description | This research underscores the vast importance of architectural drawing in the examination of cultural and material heritage in hamlets grappling with a slow abandonment. The representation of towns and villages holds great significance, as it forms the basis for potential architectural, economic, and social endeavours, while also enabling the establishment of communal areas where diverse communities can nurture their shared visions. In order to delve deeper into the subject, an atlas of municipalities in Abruzzo with populations below 500 offers a remarkable chance to stimulate reflection on the factors influencing a drawing that can shape narratives of abandonment through the use of various descriptive methods and tools. Moreover, this endeavour allows for the exploration of new avenues for future sustainable development and revitalization, fostering a sense of identity and gaining pride within these communities. |
