Współczesna metropolia: tożsamość i formy bycia razem jej mieszkańców
2018
The following paper examines the Baumanian “forms of togethernes” in the space of the contemporary metropolis, both in the West (Europe, the USA), and the developing world (China). Zygmunt Bauman understands togetherness as a totality of interhuman actions, occurring in the city space. Paradoxically, the contemporary metropolis which often seems hostile towards traditional bourgeois urban life opens up new possibilities of mutual relations between contemporary citizens. The space in the contemporary city is neither fully artificial, nor natural, but it merges some features of both. Although its infrastructure is governed by effectiveness of molecular capitalism, it is not fully predicable i…
El proyecto de un pórtico clasicista para la iglesia de los Santos Juanes de Valencia y su impacto en el entorno urbano (1788-1856)
2020
In the year 1788, the parish of Los Santos Juanes in Valencia proposed to the City Council the erection of same classical-style portico in order to beautify its outer eastern façade, surrounding the head of the temple and relying on the Plaza del Mercado. This portico was never built, but there would be an impact of such an architectural purpose in subsequent reform plans of that outstanding urban location.
El edificio gremial de los abaixadors o tundidores, en Valencia
2020
In the ?barri del mercat?, in the city of Valencia and very close to its Lonja, there is a building complex which is the object of this study. The research, carried out from the simple field of toponymy, to the constructive analysis, lead us to suppose that it is the building of the Valencian trade union of cloth-shearers. It can be seen how the building now camouflaged by other subsequent interventions, corresponds to a type that cannot be related to those usually built in the city of Valencia. Its origins clearly from the Valencian self-governing period splendor, its dimensions and the finishes used in its construction seem to refer to a medieval workshop. A structure of great importance …
Postpandemic Urban Habitat in the Age of Contamination
2020
The challenge for post-pandemic urban habitats will be to recover their natural polycentrism, the diversity of their neighborhoods which, ceasing to be fragile suburbs, return to being places of lives and not just of homes, bridging the educational, working, cultural, digital divides, acquiring micro-places of public health and self-sufficient energy communities. I imagine cities of a renewed urban proxemic made up of "augmented urban communities" (according to the principles I described earlier) that reduce their frantic centripetal mobility and that facilitate a more measured mobility guaranteeing the answer to many needs within 15 minutes from home (the “15-minute city”, as already launc…
Wybrane przykłady realizacji koncepcji miasta-ogrodu oraz możliwości implementacji ich elementów we współczesnej tkance miejskiej
2020
Praca stanowi przekrój myśli urbanistycznej, jaką jest koncepcja miasta- ogrodu. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie sposobu kształtowania współczesnej tkanki miejskiej w odniesieniu do założeń garden city na przykładzie miasta Opole. Obecne tendencje w planowaniu przestrzennym miast zdają się nie uwzględniać szeroko rozumianego krajobrazu jako waloru. Niniejsza praca powstała z myślą o przybliżeniu założeń opartych na zasadzie połączenia środowiska zbudowanego z naturalnym, pokazując, że mogą być one funkcjonalnymi i kompletnymi tkankami miejskimi
Città e organismi territoriali. Verso un approccio olistico alle crisi dell’Antropocene
2021
From the second half of the nineteenth century, urban planning was understood, according to a top-down approach managed by government systems, as a cure for the city affected by the disease, injustice, and violence. This approach, aimed at regulating the behaviour of producers in cities and territories, aims at favouring the strongest economic and social actors to the detriment of the weakest social tissues. Today, the various factors of economic and social crisis, which act on a global scale, have made the picture of inequalities even more complicated and uncertain than in the past. Consequently, the technocratic responses provided by central governments are no longer enough and indeed som…
Dall’iper–densificazione all’abbandono: la negazione della qualità della vita nella città moderna
2021
A partire dall’Ottocento si assiste ad un fenomeno che porta le città europee ad ingrandirsi ed espandersi. Non si tratta solo di un’estensione territoriale, ma anche di un incremento della densificazione dovuto agli ingenti spostamenti di popolazione dalle campagne ai centri urbani. Il fenomeno della densificazione non deve essere inteso solo come rapporto tra la superficie e il numero degli abitanti, ma anche come complessità delle relazioni sociali ed è un processo che dalle città si estende alla dimensione planetaria a causa delle tecnologie che hanno trasformato il mondo in un villaggio globale. Dopo aver messo a fuoco le componenti storiche, economiche politiche e sociali che determin…
Aree verdi storiche e alberi monumentali: stimolo per un'efficace pianificazione delle infrastrutture verdi
2020
This study is based on the assumption that existing urban green areas can play a significant role in giving a boost to the effective development of linear infrastructures when conceived as green-blue corridors, capable to significantly affect in the production of the ecosystem services within the urban environment. The first phase of analysis, necessary to frame the case study, identified in the city of Palermo (Italy), the research focused on the ecological and social aspects of urban green, investigating its current values and potentials. The existing private and public parks and gardens have been combined with major areas of ecological relevance, whereas the monumental trees connect gree…
L'Atlante dei Waterfront. Visioni, paradigmi, politiche e progetti per i waterfront siciliani e maltesi

Il volume contiene gli esiti del P.O. Italia-Malta "Waterfront" dedicato alla rigenerazione dei waterfront, applicata a casi di studio siciliani e maltesi
Progettare città liquide
2021
Urban waterfronts are today one of the most prolific variants of augmented cities: fluid and hybrid places where resources, opportunities, aspirations and ambitions of cities are translated into visions, new relations and projects. The creative port city is capable of reactivating new fluid metabolism, generating new architectural forms and producing new landscapes. The permanent flows of urban culture, grounding on the waterfront, are capable to fuel huge relational networks, making cities more dynamic, communicative and competitive. The most important implication of waterfront regeneration is that this particular area should be addressed as a structural and strategic element of the city a…
