Aspetti tecnologici per il riuso: contributi al dibattito
2016
Qui il taglio della trattazione sul riuso della Centrale Enel Tifeo è legato alle questioni tecnologiche sia pure in un’accezione ampia che declina sia le tecniche ambientali che le tecnologie connesse agli edifici e alle costruzioni. Una lettura disciplinare, certamente parziale e limitata, che non vuole mancare però di individuare fattori comuni e temi di dibattito di più ampio respiro. Si tenta questa analisi con una struttura di tre paragrafi, parzialmente correlati a scale di problemi: il contesto e il lotto, quale area di dominio; l’involucro, soprattutto considerato per l’edificio dei turbo-alternatori; l’ambiente indoor e gli spazi interni in edifici dalla spazialità estremamente pa…
Architetture di pietra e mestieri da perpetuare
2018
It is a short text written at the request of the Pro-loco of Sinagra , a small town in the province of Messina, dedicated to the traditional processing of the local stone.
UNSUSTAINABLE LIVING. Recovery and reintegration of degraded environments
2012
Building abusiveness contributed to the progressive worsening of urban conditions and environmental crisis, generating a soil uncontrolled consumption, territory’s exploiting, bigger pollution indexes, besides the absence of building quality, levelling of languages and life models, alteration of recognising and territory belonging values, urban and extra urban landscape levelling. Building abusiveness is clearly a territorial emergency which needs technical owning to formulate sudden and effective intervention strategies. The fight against building abusiveness is still today a challenge for both environment and territory. The present volume investigates the issue of environmental decay dete…
Almond shell reuse: a viable non-conventional aggregate for sustainable building materials
2022
Bio-based or green architecture is a new way of designing and building in line with the European Green Deal and in light of the Circular Economy principles. The main green approach directs the whole construction life cycle to be eco-sustainable and environmentally friendly from the beginning to the end of the building process. Beyond the use of eco sustainable and highly performing structural materials, new technologies able of reduce the environmental impact of buildings must be used. This paper is aimed at reviewing the possible reuse of bio- wastes of agricultural origin whose massive production generates a number of issues for their treatment and disposal. In particular, this study will…
TOWARDS A TAO BUILDING’S ENVELOPE: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VOID
2017
The forward summarizes the role of the void in the building envelope.
REHABILITATION, ENHANCEMENT AND PROMOTION OF ART NOUVEAU BUILDINGS
2016
Since ancient times every era has produced a particular architectural heritage with different materials and with the use of different construction. This study aims to make a contribution in terms of knowledge and the architectural heritage of the 20th century, recovery, and in particular those representing the Sicilian architecture known as Liberty architecture. The study explores the relationship between architecture, materials, construction techniques and the building restoration and enhancement problems. The main purpose of this research is on the one hand the analysis and technological knowledge of the architectural heritage and the other to study the types of …
Designing a sustainable regeneration in the outskirt of Agrigento
2016
This paper describes a case of building recovery and sustainable re-use in Sicily, that is the recovery of Villaseta. It is a very degraded neighborhood in the outskirts of Agrigento. The main goal of the redevelopment project is therefore the rebuilding and the environmental regeneration of the neighborhood, using sustainable technologies and tools, with the construction of vegetable gardens and urban gardens, the production of renewable energy and the sustainable recovery of existing buildings. The eco-friendliness of the restoration project is therefore given by the use of garden roofs and vertical gardens. Villaseta will be a real "green lung" able to give greater environmental awarenes…
MANUTENZIONE DELL’AMBIENTE COSTRUITO: QUANTO RESTA DELLA NOTTE?
2021
Confrontando la manutenzione dell’ambiente costruito con la stessa attività riferita, in genere, ai prodotti manifatturieri, importanti caratteristiche specifiche emergono, sia nelle tecnologie di processo che di prodotto. Infatti, per le costruzioni lo stretto legame tra manutenzione e qualità acquisisce, in più, notevoli implicazioni di ordine sociale e collettivo, sia se applicata a edifici e spazi pubblici, sia se riferita all’edilizia residenziale privata. Nonostante ciò, tenendo conto della tendenza al “constructuring” che sembra indirizzare il futuro dell’edilizia sotto gli influssi della digitalizzazione, è ugualmente utile tener presente gli avanzamenti nel campo della manutenzione…
From disuse to the caring-use for the built environment : a further key strategy to enhance the inner areas
2022
Abandonment characterizes the inner areas: in fields, infrastructures, public spaces, productive and residential buildings, the use which constitutes an indispensable reference in analytical, evaluation and design approaches concerning the built environment has now almost completely ceased. The restitution of a use is often indicated as the goal of strategies for revitalization; however, use is not enough as a tool in itself, if it does not meet the multifaceted requirements of sustainability, acting as a ‘caring-use’, in which users are custodians and not carefree profiteers. After having extended some considerations on sustainable use from the architectural heritage to the common built en…
Global architecture: rehabilitation and regeneration
2022
Using architecture as a "global phenomenon", holistically integrating solutions inspired by new scientific progress in the field of urban ecology, is a proactive way of responding to the challenges and precariousness of the contemporary city. In this paper, which illustrates a process of building and urban regeneration developed within the framework of the agreement between the University of Palermo and CICOP "International Centre for the Conservation of Heritage" with the research entitled "G.A. Transition&Regeneration "*, it is necessary to evaluate all the opportunities and benefits that the inclusion of green spaces and lungs bring to building contexts in a perspective of eco-sustai…
