Today there are new concerns that housing research seeks to anticipate: the relationship between housing and health, the definition of methodologies for assessing risks to occupants and the guarantee of indoor air quality, among other areas that increasingly require a transdisciplinary approach. Today's urban centers are made up of many current buildings that reveal constructive trends from various eras, the expression of aesthetic and cultural movements, economic and administrative policies, the evolution of empirical and scientific knowledge, the availability of local materials and geographical specifics, territorial and climatic. This implies a rehabilitation of buildings and urban centers with a clear commitment to respect for history, constructive tradition and heritage passed on to us by previous generations. A more promising and sustainable future requires it.
