Timber framed with masonry infill: a historical anti-seismic device. The Portuguese Pombaline gaiola.
2017
La ricostruzione postsismica e la prevenzione sismica sono stati da sempre un fondamento costruttivo.Questo studio analizza la tipologia costruttiva della gaiola pombalina, un sitema costruttivo e strutturale molto diffuso in Portogallo ma non solo, adottato a Lisbona a seguito del terremoto del 1755. Si analizzano i materiali e le tecniche costruttive, gli elementi utili al rinforzo e consolidamento della struttura muraria, ampiamente diffuso in area mediterranea a partire dal XVIII secolo.Questo sistema costruttivo può e deve anche oggi essere considerato un utile presidio antisismico da riconoscere e preservare da interventi incolti, se non addirittura da incongrue demolizioni. Post-seis…
Compatible rehabilitation of the Sicilian rural architecture: the case study of "Calcibaida" in Caltavuturo
2020
The Sicilian common typological form of rural estate is the masseria, typical of the latifundium. More particularly, it is a large fortified farm built to control and manage a vast land-property, the old fiefdoms. This paper will analyse the masseria Calcibaida as an eminent example of the mentioned Sicilian rural world. Calcibaida is located in the territory of Caltavuturo, in the centre of Sicily, within the mountain landscape of the Madonie mountains. The complex consists of a compact aggregate of buildings with an internal courtyard and a close large warehouse, further embellished by a fine drinking trough. The typological characteristics, materials and construction technologies of the …
COSTRUIRE L’AZZARDO. IL CORNICIONE NELL’ARCHITETTURA STORICA, FRA REGOLA E SPERIMENTAZIONE
2018
The book explores the historical and constructive aspects of the cornices that, from elements of protection, they can also become elements of degradation and instability due to their form. The structure of the text of this volume consists of three main parts, presenting some technical aspects and issues of uncommon attention. The first part analyzes a discussion about the formal and material values of the cornice; in fact, it presents complex characters and summarizes the problems deriving from formal and constructive requirements of the building envelope, due to the double value of ornamentation (crowning of the building) and functional component (removal system of meteoric water from the …
Sapropeļa kūdras, sapropeļa kokskaidu siltumizolācijas plāksnes un to īpašības
2014
Siltumizolācijas materiāli, kuros par pildvielu tiktu izmantoti vietējie biomasas produkti, bet par saistvielu kalpotu dabiskas izcelsmes saistvielas, piemēram, sapropelis, uzskatāmi par inovatīviem un to pielietošana sekmētu ekoloģiskās būvniecības nozares attīstību. Šādu risinājumu izstrāde ir aktuāla, jo Latvijā ir ievērojami sapropeļa resursi, kuru izmantošanu kavē to nepietiekama izpēte un ekoloģiskās būvniecības nozares intensīva attīstība. Pētījuma mērķis ir iegūt sapropeļa-koksnes, kūdras-koksnes siltumizolācijas plāksnes, noteikt optimālās plātnes sastāva attiecības un raksturot iegūto plātņu īpašības. Veikto pētījumu rezultātā tika noteiktas siltumizolācijas materiālu paraugu mehā…
Aristocratic power exaltation between XVI and XVIII centuries in Palermo Area: psychological and symbolic aspects behind suburban villas' constructio…
2014
From ancient times, due to a very favourable climate, and the presence of many pure water sources, the “Golden Valley” surrounding the city of Palermo saw the settlement of an elaborate system of rural farms, “industrial” buildings. During the XVI century, and especially towards the XVIII century, spending some time in the countryside became a real trend for the urbanized Sicilian aristocracy. Thus, such buildings were slowly renewed into sumptuous suburban palaces to exhibit feudal family richness and power as well as to make living in the countryside more pleasant. In western Sicilian area, the architectural typology of the suburban villa is locally characterized by a mixture of the luxur…
