Sub specie æternitatis: the role of the ruin and the ancient in the process of architectural renewal between metamorphosis and resurgence
2022
Composing new works of architecture inspired by vestiges from antiquity or archaeology. The reflections and the case study which will be proposed, pertaining to a recent design experiment for the archaeological area and Antiquarium of Tyndaris, are dedicated to this theme. Over and above any charm exerted by such places, by landscapes in which the ruins appear identical in substance and which sometimes manifest themselves as “sub specie æternitatis”, there are reasons linked to the very profession of architect and to the gashes in the crucible of controversies around the role of history in its contentious relationship with architectural design. That apart, the aporias revealed by Michel Fou…
The reason for a project that was never performed: Alvar Aalto and the residential complex in Pavia (1966-68)
2015
This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the project for the residential complex "Patrizia" in Pavia by Alvar Aalto (1966-1968). Although not realized, for political and economic reasons, the project offers an interesting example of urban planning in an “organic key”. In particular, this paper aims to contextualize the project of Aalto in the broader context of the residential building in Italy after World War II, when the problems of reconstruction and "home" are the heart of the debate on architecture. The project, in fact, takes place in the years immediately following the experiments of the social housing plan INA CASA (1949-63), which - with differences in design and architect…

When referring to migrants, the collective representation sees them as recipients of services offered by the third sector and not, in the first instance, as actors actively engaged in associative processes. Addressing the issue of the relationship between migrants and the third sector implies, therefore, proposing a change of perspective that leads to think of migrants (also this rather wide category) not as direct beneficiaries, as victims in need, but as protagonists actively engaged in the institutions or as collaborators, experts, employees, therefore paid, or as volunteers, free of charge.
Note sulla stereotomia tra Sicilia sud-orientale e Malta nel secondo Settecento
2013
L'architettura della Sicilia sud orientale e quella di Malta hanno goduto per secoli di un continuo interscambio di maestranze e di esperienze professionali. Le strette affinità tra i materiali lapidei da costruzione locali hanno reso ancora più stringente il confronto, permettendo significativi avanzamenti nelle pratiche stereotomiche. Tra le molteplici stagioni che meritano approfondimenti specifici, la fase finale del XVIII secolo appare particolarmente intrigante. Il ruolo di un architetto con una formazione internazionale come Stefano Ittar non va limitato al rinnovamento linguistico, ma apre il campo anche una all'applicazione di temi di stereotomia moderna che sembrano presupporre la…
