Una chiesa scomparsa “dentro della nuova, assai più magnifica”. Progetti e ricostruzioni della cattedrale di Mdina tra Medioevo ed Età Moderna
2023
A corpus of drawings attributable to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and preserved in the Diocesan archive of Mdina, allows us to better understand the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Malta after the earthquake of 1693, which damaged the medieval building. This had already been interested, a few years earlier, bu some works that had affected the presbytery area. The survey and project drawings, partly published but never studied in depth, offer valuable information on the medieval church and on the transformation process, on the relationship between the pre-existing buildings and the new projects. Starting from the available drawings, and with the support of documentary data an…
Re-drawing of vanished space: Casa Giobbe della Bitta by Marcello Piacentini
2020
Ha ancora un senso oggi, nel tempo dominato dall’immagine e dal suo potere, interrogarsi sulle ragioni e sulle potenzialità del Disegno di Architettura?

Il sistema di copertura del Teatro Politeama di Palermo
2012
In the project of the Politeama’s Theater in Palermo, the Architect Almeyda summarizes, in an expressive and model balance, the technological component and geometrical/spatial shape, providing optimal solutions to a structural and functional problems. Thanks to its typological approach, thanks to its technological aspects and, specifically, thanks to its size and its style, the work offers us some interesting reflections about the technical choices carried out for the construction. The Author, basing on some original Almeyda’s drawings, deepens the geometric and compositional system of the roof. The daring and complex construction carried out in iron and glass, modern and progressive in for…
