Innovative technologies for temporary architecture
2009
Problem risen from temporariness and flexibility concepts of built concern, always constituted, all over technological advanced countries and throughout the whole history of scientific research, some of the most interesting aspects of technologies, industry and industrialization processes. Several project proposals about really light structures easily gatherable, transportable, that can be dismantled and reconverted, are proves of that such as their use in order to obtain flexible and functional living solutions. They are systems adaptable to different needs and fit to offer a concrete solution for the necessities related to the new ways of living. In fact temporary buildings that were thou…
Il Belice prima e dopo il 1968 attraverso le iconografie
2014
Il saggio presenta come l' intero territorio della valle del Belice abbia cambiato identità dopo il terremoto del 1968. Attraverso le iconografie (fotografie, disegni) di architetture esistite e poi distrutte. The 1968 earthquake in western Sicily is a break point in the history of a territory rich and layered. The journalism has mainly dealt with the case Gibellina, but in reality is the entire geographical area to have changed relationships and vocations. The iconography and photographs can witness the difference that occurred within a few years. In fact, the contemporary architecture linked to the reconstruction is only one of the parameters suitable to interpret mutations identity of pl…
Il progetto per la conservazione dell'architettura storica nelle tesi di laurea di restauro
2017
La trasmissione dei valori, per la conservazione dell’architettura, della città storica e del paesaggio, o delle testimonianze che con il tempo hanno assunto valore di documento delle civiltà che ci hanno preceduto, avviene per l’impegno dei docenti di Restauro dei Monumenti. Dai principi condivisi scaturisce una specifica metodica che desidera assicurare per questa generazione, ma soprattutto per quelle che ci seguiranno, il mantenimento del patrimonio architettonico e ambientale, quale lascito collettivo da tramandare nei secoli. Nel saggio s’indaga lo strumento, fondamentale della didattica del Restauro dei Monumenti, rappresentato dalle tesi di laurea di Restauro, così come si è andato …
Il primo concorso per il Palazzo di Giustizia a Roma del 1884. Ricostruzione critica del progetto di Ernesto Basile
2019
1. Breve descrizione dell’oggetto di studio Il concorso del Palazzo di Giustizia di Roma si svolge in quattro fasi svolte tra il 1884 e il 1887. Il progetto per il primo concorso, del 1884, redatto dall’allora giovanissimo Ernesto Basile (Palermo 1857-1932), rivela una grande perizia progettuale che trasforma il complesso programma funzionale in un austero edificio in stile neofiorentino. I disegni originari dell’opera, non realizzata, conservati presso la Dotazione Basile del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo, sono stati oggetto di studio propedeutico alle fasi di analisi, interpretazione e ricostruzione congetturale del modello digitale. 2.

Virtues of Mentors and Mentees in the Finnish Model of Teachers’ Peer-group Mentoring
2020
This study investigated participants’ conceptions of the ideal mentor and mentee in the Finnish model of peer-group mentoring (PGM). Existing mentoring research emphasises dyadic practices, yet there is a lack of investigation of participants’ roles in group mentoring. The main concepts of this inquiry were dispositions (habitus) and virtues drawing on the theory of practice architectures and Aristotelian virtue philosophy. Methodologically, the study can be identified as philosophical-empirical inquiry that utilises a narrative and hermeneutical approach to analyse qualitative data from 30 respondents. As its central finding, the study identified a set of core characteristics that describe…
The Recurrent Characteristics of Historic Buildings as a Support to Improve their Energy Performances: The Case Study of Palermo
2017
Abstract The analysis of the recurrent characteristics of the local historic architecture is useful to develop large-scale energy analyses, regulations and financial strategies, but also to support technical guidelines for an energy improvement balanced with conservation. For this purpose, a multi-scale methodology ranging from envelope components to the urban dimension is necessary. In the research here exposed, this approach is investigated by focusing on the historic architecture of Palermo. For this heritage, the collection of thermal and hygrometric data for envelope components is combined with the examination of representative constructions, based on building stock categorization. Int…
Method and Practical Guidelines for Overcoming Enterprise Architecture Adoption Challenges
2017
During the last few years, interest towards Enterprise Architecture (EA) has increased, not least due to anticipated benefits resulting from adopting it. For instance, EA has been argued to provide cost reduction, technology standardisation, process improvement, and strategic differentiation. Despite these benefits, the EA adoption rate and maturity are still low. Consequently, EA benefits are not realised. A major reason hindering the adoption is that EA is not understood correctly. This paper aims for minimising the effect of the lack of understanding EA to adopting EA. Based on the research conducted in Finnish public sector, we propose an improved Enterprise Architecture Adoption Method…
I.2 L’area Nord-Occidentale, in Carra et alii, Le aree funerarie fra isola e terraferma: esempi dalla Sicilia e dalla Sardegna, pp. 135-179
2015
Christian funerary evidence of Sicily and Sardinia are among the 3rd-4th century and 7th-8th. They were defined “useful fossils” to determine the incidence of the new religion in urban areas and the importance of the settlement spread over vast areas. The burial areas recognized in Sardinia are about one hundred; in Sicily they are more and more numerous; they are distributed along the route of the ancient roads and fall within the areas of competence of the diocese known by some letters of Pope Gregory the Great. They were divided into three categories: burial areas sub divo, rural and urban; burial underground areas, urban and rural; burial areas connected with a rural church or with a ma…
The Impact of Architecture in the Hospitality Industry: The Decision Choice in the Case of Cyprus Island

This paper examines the role of architecture in hospitality accommodation by considering the demand side. The survey was based on a questionnaire and applied multinomial regression models. The results show that hotel architecture impact can influence the selection of the dest…
Siracusa e la Sicilia nel III secolo a.C.: problemi conoscitivi e proposte di lettura dei fenomeni urbanistici e architettonici
2017
L’evoluzione sotto il profilo urbanistico e architettonico delle città di Sicilia nel III secolo a.C. può essere compresa solo a partire da un esame delle evidenze di Siracusa, la maggiore città dell’Occidente greco-ellenistico e capitale di un regno che sotto Agatocle e soprattutto sotto Ierone II vede un prodigioso sviluppo non solo per l’estensione dell’area urbana, ma soprattutto per la riconfigurazione dello spazio cittadino in forme innovative, destinate a influenzare in maniera decisiva anche le città minori del regno e dell’Oriente dell’isola, e successivamente anche dei comprensori centro-occidentali e settentrionali. L’aspetto più importante e programmatico nella rimodulazione del…
