Le cupole a torricini cilindrici: una soluzione antisismica nella Sicilia dei secoli XVII e XVIII.
2013
In un territorio, come quello siciliano, ricorrentemente flagellato dagli eventi tellurici, uno dei più delicati problemi costruttivi che la civiltà architettonica di età moderna dovette affrontare fu di certo quello delle cupole su tamburo. Dopo le prime esperienze cinquecentesche, nell'ambito del cantiere della chiesa del Gesù di Palermo sembra sia stata realizzata per la prima volta una cupola impostata su un tamburo affiancato da quattro torri cilindriche. Sulla scorta dell'esempio palermitano, furono poi realizzate le cupole della chiesa di S. Angelo a Licata (1693-1700), su disegno del gesuita Angelo Italia, e quella della chiesa di San Lorenzo a Trapani (1734-36), su progetto dell'ar…
Towards the development of a Decision Support System (DSS) for building renovation: Domain Mapping Matrix (DMM) for sustainability renovation criteri…
2018
Future building renovation concerns more holistic perspectives related to the sustainability seen in a wider range of objectives/criteria facilitated by the renovation scenarios. In this regard, based on the studies upon existing sustainability evaluation and assessment tools carried out in previous research works, a characteristic diagram including a value map for evaluating a holistic sustainable retrofitting was developed. Further, in present paper, by reviewing the relevant literature, looking into recent European renovation research projects, the Danish SIGMA database, and investigation of a real case, a comprehensive list of renovation approaches (i.e. insulation technologies, windows…
Towards a Holistic Approach to Retrofitting: A Critical Review of Stateof-the-art Evaluation Methodologies for Architectural Transformation
2017
The building sector is well known to be responsible for a considerable part of the total European energy consumption. In the endeavor to implement radical reductions, there is an identified potential in addressing the existing building stock through deep renovations. These renovations make up complex, highly interdisciplinary systems. They involve stakeholders across a broad spectrum of disciplines and potentially affect the lives of a large number of occupants. The involved people bring different understandings of value in sustainability into a project and judge the outcome according to this understanding. As a response to this, a number of sustainable assessment methodologies for the buil…
Towards a Holistic Methodology in Sustainable Retrofitting: Theory, Implementation and Application
2017
Sustainability paradigm foresees a balance of energy production and consumption with no, or minimal, negative impact on environment (within the environmental tolerance limits). It gives an opportunity to a country to employ its potentiality of the social and economic activities. An overview of recent researches about building renovation context demonstrates the lack of an appropriate methodology and decision support framework -by compounding the typical challenges of sustainable retrofitting from theory to implement stages- that takes into account the retrofitting projects throughout more comprehensive insights and perspectives. It calls, therefore, for a deep building renovation approach. …
Architectures “on ruins” and ambiguous transparency: the glass in preservation and communication of archaeology
2008
Abstract The contemporary architecture is characterized by an even more marked transparency, as a result of a continuous experimentation all directed towards the search of the built “lightness”, that is towards the “dematerialization” of the architecture and the consequent loss of weight connected to the excess of form. It is in 1851 that a New Architectural Age springs because of the realization of the Crystal Palace, in London – that has addressed towards the experimentation of the glass as an architectural, structural element and of design. Today, part of this experimentation has been applied for some interventions of coverage, protection and communication in situ of the archaeological r…
FORMA URBANA TRA DISCONTINUITA' E DISTANZA
2021
With the belief that only by adhering to a wide and general theory on the composition of its structure, it is possible to proceed to the manipulation of even the most minute of its parts, the essay tends to develop a thought on the idea of the shape of the urban organism aimed at composing a settlement grammar to define a suitable syntax that is then projected to assign an identity to the peri-urban areas. Drawing on references that have already expressed a stance on the matter, to be found throughout the text is the endorsement of an idea of densification linked to the expansion and completion of existing manufactured fragments to yield clusters on the remains of what is left of the origin…
STRATEGIE PER LA RIQUALIFICAZIONE ENERGETICA DELL’EDILIZIA SCOLASTICA IN CLIMA MEDITERRANEO
2018
Il patrimonio edilizio italiano è composto principalmente da costruzioni realizzate nel secondo dopoguerra, quando la speculazione economica e l’urbanizzazione hanno prodotto edifici con caratteristiche di scarsa qualità architettonica ed energetica. Agire sul rendimento energetico degli edifici esistenti, adattandoli alle caratteristiche richieste dalla normativa, a parità di condizioni di comfort, rappresenta una strategia importante per la riduzione dei consumi energetici e per la tutela dell’ambiente. Attraverso l’applicazione di tecnologie e metodologie innovative e la scelta di investimenti adeguati, il retrofit energetico può rappresentare, oggi, la principale opportunità di crescita…
C+I – In materia di design
2019
Cottone e Indelicato si laureano in Architettura a Palermo e proseguono la loro formazione-professione all’estero (presso David Chipperfield e RCR). Sicuramente, come afferma Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, rappresentano uno degli Studi più interessanti nel panorama siciliano. Anche perché i due eccellono nella progettazione di arredi, quale completamento naturale delle loro opere architettoniche, secondo la tradizione del design degli architetti italiani. Il loro modus operandi è semplice, chiaro, minimale.
Introduzione
2017
Nella cornice del Piano Colore Isole Egadi, il convegno internazionale “Identity | The Colors of Project” evidenzia il ruolo strategico dell’identità – di un’istituzione, di un’azienda, di un territorio – con particolare riferimento alle connotazioni identificative del colore. Qui, studiosi con competenze disciplinari diverse si confrontano sul tema spaziando in ambiti molto diversi: dal prodotto al cibo, dal web al car design, dalla fotografia alla brand identity.
