FutureDesign. Reflections at the Limit of iImpossible
2021
Can today design help to improve the world? During the 20th century, it did it. Actually, it has been establishing itself historically in this sense: to improve the everyday life of common people. In the last decades, however, design has become a sort of magic patina helpful to make goods attractive: a dimension of project linked to more the look of goods than to the challenges of our time. By the way, Maurizio Carta talks about ‘futuredesign’ and ‘alternative present’ – a reflection on present helpful to determinate a better (next) future. The present crisis, that is now rooted, calls for a rethink. We must grasp it in order to determinate the change that we need. The Paleo-Anthropocene in…

Reti sismiche urbane per monitoraggio sismico monitoraggio strutturale ed allerta precoce
2021
In questa tesi, viene effettuato un analisi preliminare in cui si mette in evidenza come l'italia sia un paese a rischio sismico, poichè possiede molti centri storici con strutture non progettate per eventi sismici di media entità. Si è prestato molta attenzione su quante vite umane vengono salvate dopo un terremoto catastrofico. L'analisi fa emergere come, è importante essere tempestivi nell'estrarre le persone rimaste sotto le macerie, poichè la percentuale di persone estratte vive si mantiene alta solo entro le 48 ore dall'evento. Dopo 96 ore questa percentule si attesta a 0. In eventi passati spesso i soccorsi sono arrivati con giorni di ritardo nelle zone più devastate. L'obbiettivo ch…
The airport as edge city : the case of Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport
2005
International audience; Most of the recent research about airports has considered them in their role as points within airline networks,and the focus has been generally on hub airports. But airports are also places offering many similarities with cities, particularly with edge cities. They are places of human diversity and job centers for surrounding areas. Traffic jams are common on ground facilities as they are on taxiways, runways and airways. Often divided in specialized districts, such as cargo warehousing, hotel rows, rental car parking lots or office clusters, they are also urban organisms exerting strong demands on the local environment. In the post 9-11era, their importance for econ…
Oblicze demograficzne Opola na początku XXI wieku
2020
Opole jako stolica regionu, który w przeszłości zmieniał przynależność państwową i zasięg terytorialny, co skutkowało wielokrotnymi przesunięciami granic wewnętrznych i zewnętrznych oraz ulegał przemianom kulturowo-cywilizacyjnym, współcześnie doświadcza gwałtownych przeobrażeń społecznych. Jednym z głównych jego problemów jest niekorzystny przebieg procesów demograficznych na przełomie XX i XXI w., m.in. depopulacja. Aktualny obraz demograficzny miasta ukształtowało wiele czynników występujących w przeszłości, a zwłaszcza po zakończeniu II wojny światowej, których skutki miasto nadal odczuwa. Celem artykułu było ukazanie depopulacji wraz z towarzyszącymi jej negatywnymi zjawiskami i proces…
