Bright spots as climate‐smart marine spatial planning tools for conservation and blue growth
2021
Marine spatial planning that addresses ocean climate-driven change (‘climate-smart MSP’) is a global aspiration to support economic growth, food security and ecosystem sustainability. Ocean climate change (‘CC’) modelling may become a key decision-support tool for MSP, but traditional modelling analysis and communication challenges prevent their broad uptake. We employed MSP-specific ocean climate modelling analyses to inform a real-life MSP process; addressing how nature conservation and fisheries could be adapted to CC. We found that the currently planned distribution of these activities may become unsustainable during the policy's implementation due to CC, leading to a shortfall in its s…
The role of natural complexity in adaptive architecture : Eco-based design: Nature as pattern and architecture element
2021
In the broader context of an ongoing doctoral research, it is possible to consider adaptive architecture as a possible solution for designing resilience. Despite the large use of technology, it is possible in fact to recognise different design approaches that involve Nature in the whole process, from the initial conceptual phase toward the effective construction stage. Among these different ways, which underline a biomorphic common perspective, this paper would focus on two of them, underlying the role of nature in the design approach. The first is referred to the consideration of Nature as a design material and is shown through the projects of the American architectural firm SCAPE, ‘Living…
I caratteri dell'architettura resiliente adattiva. Invarianti compositive del progetto: 1990-2020
2023
La Tesi di Dottorato “I caratteri dell’architettura resiliente adattiva. Invarianti compositive del progetto: 1990-2020” si propone di affrontare il rapporto fra l’architettura resiliente adattiva e le invarianti compositive del progetto attraverso l’influenza che tale rapporto ha sull’evoluzione e l’innovazione dei caratteri dell’architettura. In un momento storico in cui termini come resilienza e innovazione ricoprono un ruolo cruciale nell’esplorazione delle potenzialità della ricerca e costituiscono un requisito indispensabile per la programmazione del prossimo futuro, si è ritenuto opportuno ricondurre l’attenzione della ricerca dottorale al cuore della disciplina del progetto di archi…
The energy crisis of the contemporary city: intelligence, creativity and resilience.
2012
Per affrontare la crisi energetica che affligge le città contemporanee, i piani di recupero e di riqualificazione devono necessariamente mobilitare nuove forme d’intelligenza e creatività che possono essere considerati singolari “fonti di energia rinnovabile” così come le capacità resilienti degli insediamenti. L’articolo tratteggia questi basilari concetti che, nell’ambito del dottorato di ricerca in Recupero Edilizio e Ambientale, possono contribuire a sviluppare ricerche inter-disciplinari coinvolgendo la pianificazione urbanistica e la tecnologia dell’architettura To address the energy crisis afflicting the contemporary city, recovery plans and retraining must mobilize new forms of inte…
La semplificazione normativa e il PNRR
2023
The monograph studies the regulatory simplification policy programmed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, analyzing its elements of novelty compared to policies already undertaken in the country and its relevance in the context of Plan implementation. It then considers the regulatory measures being taken to implement the said policy, questioning whether genuine simplification is being achieved.
Disaster Resilience and Human Settlements. Emerging Perspectives in the Anthropocene
2023
The chapters included in this volume focus on the emerging perspectives on disaster resilience and human settlements in the larger context of the Anthropocene. The chapters explore urban and rural perspec-tives focusing on the current and emerging perspectives on disaster resilience through a holistic approach, involving scientists, humanists, planners, policymakers, and professionals in the global debate.
Disaster Resilience and Human Settlements in the Anthropocene
2023
The chapter sets the context starting from the emerging perspectives on disaster resilience and human settlements in the larger context of the proposed new geological era of Anthropocene. It explores the impact of disasters on the human settlements, giving examples and illustrating the theoretical reference framework regarding the birth of the idea of the Anthropocene. The chapter focuses on the interdisci-plinary nature of the ‘disaster resilience and human settlements’ theme in relation to the various global development agendas, including the Expanded Brown Agenda, the Hyogo Framework of Action, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,…

This volume is structured in three parts and collects the contributions of scholars with long experience and young researchers who wanted to intrigue the reader with exciting and complex trips to (in) livable cities.
Living on Mount Etna Between Risk, Beauty and Need: A Field Survey on Villages Struck by 2018 Earthquake
2023
Sicily’s uneven geological structure is positioned within a system of tectonic plates. Its (very) active volcano, Mount Etna, has always made it prone to disasters. Nevertheless on the flanks of Etna there are many urbanized areas and the population living on the slopes of Etna has increased a lot in the last century, because there is an ancient and intimate relationship between the land and the people who live and work on the land. In this chapter I will try to investigate possible changes in the perception of the risks associated with the volcano by the resident population by conducting survey in the villages of Fleri, Pisano, Pennisi and Santa Maria la Stella. This study is part of a gro…
Innovazione e resilienza nella città intelligente. Pratiche fiorentine al tempo della pandemia
2021
La pandemia ha dato l’opportunità ad alcune città di dimostrare il grado di competitività raggiunto e di divenire un modello di riferimento. In questi contesti non ha prevalso l’immobilismo o la sterile attesa, ma una fervente attività propositiva e creativa. Il presente contributo si propone di approfondire solo una delle esperienze di creatività e di azione all’interno di una città certamente smart, Firenze. Il caso della Galleria degli Uffizi dimostra la capacità dei contesti ad elevato livello tecnologico e di competenze di superare con brillantezza le situazioni critiche che, nella loro diversificata configurazione, possono presentarsi. The pandemic has given some cities the opportunit…
