Over last several years, scientific interest towards innovative fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications for structural reinforcement on one side and the peculiarity of the extremely diversified Italian architectural heritage on the other directed the attention of many researchers to the fields of structural mechanics, constructions, structural reinforcement, and seismic engineering. Several scientific programs have resulted from this, funded by the most important Italian research centers, in particular, by MIUR and CNR.

When the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre came crashing down on 9/11, New York not only mourned the loss of life hut also lost a part of its iconic architectural heritage. On 28 June 2006, New York Governor, George E. Pataki, announced a new building that will be built on the site. The Freedom Tower development will in fact be a number of skyscrapers, including The Freedom Tower itself. World Trade Centre Office Towers 2, 3 and 4, as well as the World Trade Centre Memorial and Memorial Museum and will cover an 8-acre site in central Manhattan. 

As the restoration industry rediscovers natural cement technology and its importance in our engineering and architectural heritage, there is also a danger that inauthentic materials wiU be promoted and labeled as natural cement. This has already occurred on a limited basis. In 2003, one such product was promoted as New Rosendale Natural Cement B. While advertising proclaimed that it CONTAINS NO PORTLAND CEMENT, it neglected to disclose that it also contained no natural cement. This offering was withdrawn when authentic natural cement was reintroduced in 2004.

Case studies aimed at estimating vibration characteristics of towers of different shapes and heights, selected among architectural heritages, have been carried out by different authors (Pieraccini et al. 2005 Atzeni et al. 2010 Gentile and Saisi 2011).
