The urban project as a project of modification
2015
The essay “The urban project as a project of modification” focuses on three different aspects: the architecture as a disciplinary corpus of spatial composition of the space, the city as Carlo Cattaneo describes it, as: "the principle of all histories" and finally the definition following the concept of creativity, as modification of the existing (Vittorio Gregotti). This triad of key words - that has connoted the title of the Summer School, edition 2014 - reflects on the relationship that has been developed in the twentieth century between architectural design and urban planning, but above all concentrating on a possible new relationship in response to the growing needs of the cities and se…

Espressione scritta per lo sviluppo della creatività e della capacità critica in Università
2018
La scoperta della scrittura ha svincolato il pensiero dal contesto e lo ha reso capace di interpretare i messaggi linguistici a partire solamente dalla parola e dalle loro connessioni logiche, ragionamento logico che permette argomentazioni più ampie, categorizzazioni più sistematiche, codificazioni sempre più precise.

I saggi sono stati corretti usando “la Guida per la correzione dei temi” di Calonghi e Boncori (2006). Dalla co…

Fine art and the quality of life of a prominent artist with frontotemporal dementia
2013
In neuroscience, no coherent definition of art is generally accepted, because its boundaries are redefined continuously, and at any time one may encounter an artwork that departs from the existing definitions. Art is considered an essential element of any educational and/or therapeutic approach aimed at developing the imagination and enriching the emotional life of the patient. This article describes a prominent Cracow artist with a rapidly progressing frontotemporal dementia (FTD). An analysis of his artwork shows that the disturbances caused by his disease have changed his artistic style in startlingly varied ways, from insight and innovation to the complete loss of creativity. The discus…
