Costruire con l’acqua: nuovi paradigmi dell’architettura sostenibile Building with water: new standards of sustainable architecture
2017
All’interno di una prassi architettonica sempre più consolidata che mira alla sostenibilità ambientale e all’autosufficienza energetica, l’articolo riporta ricerche e sperimentazioni condotte in ambito internazionale sul tema acqua-architettura, evidenziando come, partendo dall’ottima capacità del fluido di termoregolare gli ambienti confinati, si possa arrivare a considerare l’acqua anche un materiale componente dell’architettura. Within an increasingly consolidated architectural practice aiming at environmental sustainability and energy self-sufficiency, the article reports international research and experiments carried out on water-architecture. Furthermore, it highlights how, starting f…
TRADITION AND INNOVATION IN HOSPITALITY: Palermo, International Design Competition
2009
There is an on-going debate today on the subject of the relationship between city and architecture; this cultural and disciplinary backdrop requires in-depth studies on a variety of themes and a great number of disciplinary contributions. Over the centuries Man has left his mark on the land and in order to fully understand the wide- ranging modifications, it could be important to assess architecture specifically built for hospitality; in particular, its conceptual, spatial, functional and technological peculiarities need to be considered. These have undergone gradual changes over the course of time, in a continuing attempt to try to guarantee a high level of quality for guests. The project …
NANOTECNICHE PER L'ILLUMINAZIONE
2009
The article underlines how techniques on the nano-metric scale have transformed and improved the scope of lighting products, improving their performance in terms of energy-consumption, luminosity produced, over-heating, longer life, etc. Consequrntly, Led, Oled, and Woled are all mentioned: acronyms that indicate lighting systems of indubitable quality, but still possessing undeniable limitations, especially in terms of cost, due to the high financial outlay demanded by the production process.
STRUMENTI E MATERIALI PER LA FABBRICAZIONE DIGITALE IN ARCHITETTURA/INSTRUMENTS AND MATERIALS FOR DIGITAL MANUFACTURING IN ARCHITECTURE
2017
Il contributo descrive strumenti e materiali oggi disponibili per la fabbricazione digitale in architettura, offrendo un’ampia panoramica sulle tecniche di stampa 3D e su come potrebbe rivoluzionare le costruzioni con importanti ricadute tecniche, economiche e sociali. Dal concetto di mass customization alla creazione dei Fab Lab, dal Contour Crafting alla tecnologia D- Shape e al progetto WASP assistiamo a un ripensamento del processo architettonico, ma anche a una ricerca sui materiali naturali, ecosostenibili e “programmabili”. The article describes tools and materials available today for digital manufacturing in architecture, offering a wide overview of 3D printing techniques and how it…
