TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD
2018
The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…
Restauro. Concetti: orientamenti e tendenze attuali
2020
The essay is the introduction to the first topic of the Reuso20 conference, "Restoration: contemporary themes for a dialectical comparison". It contains stimulating interventions on the dialectics between Conservation and Accessibility, Conservation and Safety, in the context of religious buildings affected by an earthquake, between Conservation and Reuse, in the areas of churches, monasteries and castles, exemplified by concrete experiences conducted on different types of buildings, together with a reflection on the impact that tourism can induce on the protection of monuments, especially archaeological ones, in the name of 'enhancement'. These are in fact the central themes on which we ar…
New centrality in UNESCO buffer-zones: two Mediterranean case studies. Per una nuova centralità delle buffer-zones UNESCO: due casi studio nel Medite…
2022
The paper presents an interdisciplinary reflection on the potential for sustainable development of communities and their cultural landscapes expressed by UNESCO Buffer Zones in the Mediterranean, with the intention of transforming their widespread perception as mere tools of protection and urban planning into concrete integrated proposals for protection and enhancement, and also taking into account the role of museums in promoting the understanding of cultural heritage and the maturation of an awareness of the value of such actions. With reference to the 2004 guidelines UNESCO and starting from the evaluation of some management plans, such as that of the Arab-Norman itinerary in Palermo and…
Recovering Sicilian Silk Heritage through Digital Technologies: The Case of Piraino’s Collection
2022
Textile conservation has given rise to small and medium-sized museums, usually with scarce resources. In Sicily, the little evidence that remains of silk production and opulent imports by the rich and powerful local aristocracy is kept in museums, parishes, and other cultural institutions. The documentation, dissemination, and enhancement of such a fragile heritage is today possible by means of technological tools that provide novel means to preserve, analyze, and exploit digital information. In this paper, we present some outcomes of the SILKNOW project, a project that applies computing research to the needs of diverse users (museums, educational institutions, the tourism industry, creativ…
Territori sensibili. La Trasversale sicula e la rete dei Centri minori rurali in Sicilia
2021
La ricerca sui processi di spopolamento e di abbandono delle piccole città è essenziale per agire sulla situazione attuale e sulle sue prospettive proponendo nuovi scenari, sperimentando metodologie d'azione, fornendo formazione a professionisti, e lancio di opportunità di investimento. In questi luoghi, il paesaggio si intreccia con il mito, alimentando le connessioni tra storia antica e storia recente, da un lato, e sostenendo l'ipotesi di una trasformazione anche minima del paesaggio attraverso variazioni e interpretazioni di ciò che esiste, dall'altro. La riprogettazione del territorio della Trasversale Sicula coniuga situazioni materiali e immateriali e immaginari che trovano nella ret…
TECNOLOGIE E STRATEGIE PER LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEI BENI CULTURALI E ARCHEOLOGICI - Technologies et stratégies pour la promotion du patrimoine culturel …
2014
I beni archeologici costituiscono un capitale di valore strutturato con propri elementi distintivi di identità e di autenticità. Valorizzare queste importanti risorse del territorio, significa potenziarne la conservazione e la tutela ed al contempo incrementarne la promozione e la fruizione responsabile. In questo processo di produzione di valore, il contributo della disciplina tecnologica si pone in modo propositivo e strategico: sia in termini di diffusione della conoscenza, potenziando l’interpretazione materiale ed immateriale del bene archeologico, attraverso l’uso di strumenti evoluti per l’analisi del reperto archeologico; sia nel miglioramento dell’utilizzazione pubblica del bene, n…
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. Stato dell’arte e riferime…

The Problematic of Conceptualizing a European Cultural Heritage
2016
The idea of a common European cultural heritage is frequently referred to in the political discourses and practices of the EU. The idea of a European cultural heritage elevates the ideas of ownership and inheritance beyond the local, regional, or national frameworks and transforms the heritage sites and objects into a ‘common good’ belonging to all Europeans and into a source of a common European cultural identity. Scholars have debated the possibility of a common European cultural heritage, and in case such could exist, what it could be grounded upon. Critical scholars have asked what might be the trans-border European dimension of heritage that goes beyond the mere sum of national, region…
Strategy to re-active an urban landscape
2018
To re-activate an urban landscape, through a complex system of relationships, needs a goal: trigger a course of identification based on cultural heritage like an “ID card”. To do this, without losing the historical common memory, culture doesn’t have to be only for the “elite” but has to begin the raw nerve of the development. When Kevin Lynch wrote about wayfinding, it was not for tourists but for inhabitants whom daily live in that place: the field of “orientation” was essential for him like it was for Camillo Sitte. This theorist of urban planning (not fully understood) said that “the space and the city are important if they are active” and Wieczorek explains that “active” means the rule…
