Il degrado degli stucchi serpottiano a Palermo in relazione alle condizioni ambientali di conservazione
2009
This work is part of a demanding project, called “Progetto Serpotta”, performed since 2000 in cooperation with Soprintendenza Beni Culturali of Palermo. Aim of the project is the restoration of the unique stucco's artworks moulded by Giacomo Serpotta and his co-workers end of 17th -beginning of 18th century. This paper is focused on the problem of salt efflorescences, that are widely present in all of the churches and oratories restored in the framework of “Progetto Serpotta”. Particular attention is given to the relationship between the constitutive matter of the stuccoes, as analysed by means of both X ray diffractometry and optical microscopy, and the salts composition, as analysed by me…

’Green’ strategies and approaches. A contribution from the off-site and upcycling of discarded shipping containers
2021
La Terra versa oggi in una condizione di vulnerabilità che gran parte degli studiosi attribuisce a un modello di crescita infinita inseguita su un pianeta con risorse limitate. In relazione a questo contesto ambientale critico il contributo si propone di stimolare nuove prassi per il settore delle costruzioni suggerendo una visione sistemica che faccia ricorso contemporaneamente a più approcci sostenibili e circolari e che, combinando tecniche e tecnologie tradizionali e innovative, consenta l’eliminazione di scarti e rifiuti. In particolare, l’articolo illustra le potenzialità della prefabbricazione nel contenimento degli impatti ambientali diretti e indiretti rispetto a un’equivalente cos…
Sustainable Hospital Architecture: Quality Principles for a Responsable Design
2006
The theme of sustainability in the hospital design is today a subject widely discussed in the architectural field. The functioning of the health facility, also under the point of view of physical and organizational consistency is one of the primary objectives of the national government. There is the urgency to answer adequately and responsibly for the needs of society, assuring physical and psychological comfort and putting the center of the design process the individual sanitary needs. The social transformations and the technological progress in sanitary field have considerably modified the hospital conception. The hospital becomes space in which the individual is revalued for him itself a…
Evoluzione tipologica e tecnologica dei sistemi di abitazione per l'emergenza _ Typological and technological evolution of housing systems for emerge…
2017
Le tipologie di abitazione temporanea oggi utilizzate in caso di emergenza si possono ricondurre a due sistemi strutturali fondamentali: il sistema ad involucro flessibile ed il sistema ad involucro rigido. Da questi deriva un sistema misto in cui elementi flessibili si integrano ad elementi rigidi, generando soluzioni particolarmente interessanti sia dal punto di vista tecnologico sia formale. Ai sistemi flessibili appartiene la tenda, insieme a tutte quelle strutture leggere, estensibili e/o gonfiabili, quali strutture a pantografo, pneumatiche o, tensostruttu-re. Ai sistemi rigidi si fa risalire la casa, da cui derivano il container ed il prefab-bricato, ma anche la roulotte ed il camper…
CIRCULAR PROCESSES FOR A NEW URBAN METABOLYSM: THE ROLE OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE IN THE SUSTAINABLE REQUALIFICATION
2014
Through this paper we present the first results of a research combining the management problem of Municipal Solid Waste to the requalification of built environment. The goal of this research is to mitigate the vulnerability of territory and urban heritage and to transform a problem into opportunities. Above all, we have paid attention to several exemplifying cases of Italian territory: suburbs of large towns, historical centres, small centres (and, in particular, those with a strong historical connotation). Their features are, at the same time, restrictions and challenges for designing new compatible systems that can contribute to the requalification of urban landscape recovering spaces wit…
Preliminary Evaluation of Plasmix Compound from Plastics Packaging Waste for Reuse in Bituminous Pavements
2021
Finding an appropriate technical solution for reusing waste plastics is crucial for creating a circular plastic economy. Although mechanical recycling is the best option for recycling post-consumer plastics, some heterogeneous mixed plastics cannot be recycled to produce secondary material due to their very low properties. In this case, alternative routes should be considered in order to limit their disposal as much as possible. Therefore, in order to solve the environmental problems in the landfills of plastic waste recycling, and to improve the mechanical performance of bitumen for road pavement, the reuse of these post-consumer plastic wastes are preliminarily evaluated for the modificat…
The role of water in sustainable architecture
2011
Today’s propulsive push towards the 3th millennium, driven forward by technological innovation, needs to grapple with an economic and environmental global crisis. Generally speaking water is synonymous with life; in bio-climatic architecture it is synonymous with thermal comfort, since water is able to regulate the micro-climate of various interiors, help solar radiation and brighten up internal spaces. There is more, however. In certain cases, water becomes an actual building element: thanks to the considerable power of its thermal mass, it can be used in passive solar systems (with the “drum wall” in place of stone, brick or concrete walls), through the employment of the “trombe” wall, or…
VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE IN INSULAR ITALY: HERITAGE TO PRESERVE AND VALUE
2021
The Mediterranean civilisation, in its millenary history, has also expressed itself through particular artefacts that have strongly characterised the territory. Knowledge of the artefacts that "qualify" a territory, both in historical and material terms, is a necessary prerequisite for tackling the planning and management problems relating to their protection and conservation. The architecture of the "vernacular" is linked to domestic life, customs, the "dialects" of places and the essence of the Genius Loci. The building heritage of the islands surrounding Sicily features special building techniques and systems that exploit natural resources to generate original artefacts and extremely fun…
