PALERMO, IL PATRIMONIO ARCHITETTONICO COME RISORSA - PALERMO, THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE AS A CULTURAL RESOURCE
2014
Palermo è una città che ha visto sovrapporsi culture e tecniche costruttive di popoli diversi. È una città dalle mille risorse, che conserva un grande patrimonio di particolare valenza storica, architettonica ed artistica. La memoria vuole essere un contributo nella prospettiva della valorizzazione del suo patrimonio architettonico. Nello specifico lo studio intende analizzare in prim’ordine il valore di comunicazione dell’involucro architettonico nelle varie epoche storiche e nel presente; in secondo luogo rilevare, studiare e rappresentare particolari documenti del costruito storico di grande espressione architettonica e proporre un itinerario monumentale che è anche una rivisitazione ine…
Schools: wrong spaces face the ones desired by the students
2017
ResumenEste trabajo estudia las ideas que algunos estudiantes tienen sobre la mejora de su espacio, es decir, las proyecciones de los deseos de escolares hacia su propio centro educativo. Este estudio sobre la calidad estética se desarrolla gracias a la participación de tres colegios de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria de Alicante, en España. La metodología es mixta pues combina la investigación educativa basada en las Artes Visuales y la investigación basada en imágenes para obtener mediante métodos gráficos la voz visual infantil. Los productos son diversos dibujos y collages que expresan información y contenido comunicativo analizado de manera cualitativa y cuantitativa. Con base …
A Prioritisation Model Aiding for the Solution of Illegal Buildings Problem
2016
In Italia, in particolare nelle aree del Sud, la costruzione di edifici e insediamenti abusivi è un problema importante e annoso che rimane irrisolto a dispetto di tre condoni edilizi. Ne deriva che le autorità pubbliche si trovano ad affrontare il problema della demolizione di un ingente numero di edifici, come prescritto dalla legislazione in materia. Ragioni di natura sociale e finanziaria impongono tuttavia l’esecuzione degli ordini di demolizione in maniera poco concentrata nel tempo, evidenziando il problema decisionale di stabilire un ordine di priorità relativo agli edifici interessati. Questa situazione preoccupante è divenuta oggetto di uno specifico disegno di legge che propone e…
The European Green Deal: New Challenges for the Economic Feasibility of Energy Retrofit at District Scale
2020
The European Green Deal proposes an epochal change in the European society by transforming environmental and climatic problems into opportunities and making sustainable and fair the European Union economic system. Radical changes will also concern urban redevelopment and energy efficiency measures in order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve these objectives, rules and standards, as well as financial resources and assessment tools, are needed to support both urban planning and public decision process. This paper aims to analyze the existing European programs that are applied in some European smart cities, as they constitute a valuable source of information for the developm…
Supporting public decision process in buildings energy retrofitting operations: the application of a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding model to a cas…
2020
Abstract The challenge of promoting sustainable cities and reaching the objectives developed by the European Green Deal includes the renovation of the building sector, as it is responsible for 40% of energy consumption in Europe. Regional or local public administrations have to allocate their financial resources for improving the energy performances of their building stock and to face a multidimensional problem, where different aspects – such as energy efficiency, financial-economic feasibility and environmental protection – have to be harmonized. The present study proposes a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding model, which includes the ELECTRE TRI-nC method, for supporting the public decisio…
The effect of Water on passive cooling systems in the Arab-Norman architecture of the Zisa Palace in Palermo
2019
This paper shows the theories argued by some historians with reference to the working of natural water passive cooling systems employed in the Zisa Complex. Albeit such theories are seminal attempts to understand passive water systems, they have no scientific evidence. This study instead concentrates on a more rigorous treatment that enabled to set up a robust framework for designing a historical water passive system such as the Salsabil, which in fact was conceived and developed in an empirical way. Several historical buildings of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern architecture include relevant artefacts useful to control humidity and temperature through water passive systems . The archi…
La centrale ENEL “Tifeo” di Augusta: ricerca e progetti per il recupero
2015
L'articolo presenta il lavoro, avviato nell'ambito del Dottorato di ricerca in Architettura/Progettazione Architettonica dell'Università di Palermo e conseguente alla stipula di una apposita convenzione con l'ENEL, finalizzato ad uno studio di fattibilità per individuare proposte qualificate e innovative per la riqualificazione e il riuso della centrale termoelettrica "Tifeo" di Augusta, ormai prossima alla dismissione. Lo studio mira ad individuare una strada concreta per la protezione di quest'opera di Giuseppe Samonà, legandola ad un possibile impatto positivo nell'ambito del difficile contesto in cui essa insiste. The recovery of the central "Tifeo" Augusta (SR), a valuable work of the …
Parameters affecting the fundamental period of infilled RC frame structures
2015
Despite the fact that the fundamental period appears to be one of the most critical parameters for the seismic design of structures according to the modal superposition method, the so far available in the literature proposals for its estimation are often conflicting with each other making their use uncertain. Furthermore, the majority of these proposals do not take into account the presence of infills walls into the structure despite the fact that infill walls increase the stiffness and mass of structure leading to significant changes in the fundamental period numerical value. Toward this end, this paper presents a detailed and in-depth analytical investigation on the parameters that affect…
Grid interaction and environmental impact of a net zero energy building
2020
Abstract The concept of Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB), as a grid-connected building that generates as much energy as it uses over a given period, has been developing through policies and research agendas during the last decade as a contribution towards the decarbonization of the building sector. However, since the most applicable and widely used renewable energy supply options are non-programmable, the large-scale NZEBs diffusion into the existing power grids can seriously affect their stability having a relapse on operation costs and environmental impacts. In this context, the study aims at performing the design of the energy systems to be used in the case-study through a wide numbers of…
Stan techniczny i wykorzystanie zabudowań po klasztorach skasowanych w guberni wołyńskiej w latach 1832–1853 w świetle raportu wołyńskiego gubernator…
2019
W trakcie XIX-wiecznych kasat klasztorów na obszarze cesarstwa rosyjskiego względy ekonomiczne stanowił istotny, może najważniejszy, ale niejedyny czynnik, uwzględniany przy podejmowaniu decyzji o zniesieniu domu zakonnego. Oficjalnie władze rosyjskie głosiły, że cały majątek klasztorny miał być wykorzystany na utrzymanie szkół oraz instytucji opiekuńczych i charytatywnych. W rzeczywistości przejęte ziemskie dobra klasztorne zasiliły skarb publiczny, a mienie z różnych powodów niezbywalne powiększyło majątek, pozostający w dyspozycji władz gubernialnych oraz Cerkwi prawosławnej. Władze długo nie doceniały znaczenia zabudowań poklasztornych. Dla większości z nich nie znaleziono nowego użytko…
