Landscape Urbanism and Architecture of the Voids

2017

Il paper è focalizzato sull'importanza che la nozione di "vuoto" riveste nello sviluppo del Landscape Urbanism. Vengono prese in considerazione le teorie di Secchi e Koolhaas per quanto riguarda la possibilità di una nuova ricezione dll'idea di vuoto. Inoltre l'intervento Chassé Terrain a Breda ddegli OMa è analizzato in modo da mostrare come esso costituisce una tappa importante per i successivi progetti urbanistici. This paper is focused on the relevance of the idea of “void” for the development of landscape urbanism. The theories of Secchi and Koolhaas are considered as far as a new acceptance of void is concerned. Furthermore the highly influential Chassé Terrain intervention in Breda b…

One size hardly fits all

2013

This paper casts recent accomplishments in the field of Wireless MAC programmability into the emerging Software Defined Networking perspective. We argue that an abstract (but formal) description of the MAC protocol logic in terms of extensible finite state machines appears a convenient and viable data-plane programming compromise for modeling and deploying realistic MAC protocol logics. Our approach is shown to comply with existing control frameworks, and entails the ability to dynamically change the MAC protocol operation based on context and scenario conditions; in essence, move from the traditional idea of "one-size-fits-all" MAC protocol stack to the innovative paradigm of opportunistic…

La Wagnerschule (Vienna 1894-1912): Wagner e la Moderne Architekture (The Wagnerschule (Vienna 1894-1912): Wagner and the Moderne Architekture)

2018

AbstrAct Otto Wagner, fra il 1894 e il 1912, mette in atto una riforma ‘verticistica’ di quel principio della riorganizzazione del visibile che è uno dei cardini della rivoluzione estetica dell’Art Nouveau. A differenza delle altre compagini di protagonisti del Modernismo il nucleo di allievi della sua scuola (tra cui Hoffmann, Plečnik, Deininger, schönthal, Hoppe, Fuchs), così come i suoi assistenti (fra cui primeggia J. M. Olbrich) e i fiancheggiatori esterni (valga per tutti il caso di M. Fabiani), pur non differenziandosi sul piano dell’orientamento interdisciplinare si distinguono, data la formazione, per una peculiare impronta accademica della loro preparazione ‘al moderno’ tale da co…

Camminare e progettare territori marginali

2020

The paper aims to provide a report of the investigation and design activities which were carried out in the Apennine ridge of Umbria in collaboration with the Landscape Design department of the Vienna Polytechnic. The research found concrete realization in some landscape interventions and aspired to indicate different perspectives on landscape exploration practices in marginal and peripheral contexts. The contribution will focus both on the didactic experience of walking through the landscape and on the report of the project results. Walking is seen here as a perceptive and creative act, as a fluid practice that helps to recognize the characteristics of a territory and to enhance them throu…

A Decision Support Tool for Water and Energy Savingin the Integrated Water System

2015

Abstract In the last decades, a growing attention on energy saving associated with water resources usage and leakages reduction has been recorded at both national and international level. Scientific research has focused on implementation of several methodologies aimed at the understanding of energy transformation processes occurring in the integrated water system. The main concern is then identifying energy impacts associated to each macro-area of integrated water system, such as collection, treatment and distribution, and analysing the potential interactions between them. Unfortunately, only overall energy consumptions are usually available at national level. The main objective of the pape…

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…
