Architettura in terra
2013
As a new way of approaching the utilization of the resources of this planet earth, the Author proposes baked earth as a natural, ecological and widely available building material, accessible everywhere and to everybody; starting from the Manifesto for the Right to Build with Baked Earth, the Author cites several examples of contemporary architecture built from this material.
AGRIGENTO - ARCHITECTURE AND INNOVATION FOR HERITAGE
2010
ABSTRACT: The branch of the University of Palermo in Agrigento, and in particular the Faculty of Architecture, is one of those cultural forges that even now is, and remains, one of those places where you can see and experience the most useful comparison between experts and scientists of national and international scene. This, for use and enjoyment of Cultural Heritage, is intended specifically to the archaeological sites of which the Territory is very rich, looking for a possible comparison in which design, history, art and architecture overlap, mingle and interweave with modernity, urbanization and speed. On April 30, 2010, was held an International Conference for the Study of which this a…

A.P.E.R.: Un progetto di ricerca per l’area mediterranea.
2013
Il Mediterraneo è un'area di contaminazione, come un affresco di mille sfumature e colori. L'importazione di molti elementi provenienti da tutto il mondo ha fatto in modo che il Mediterraneo si evolvesse nella sua dimensione attuale, dove le diverse componenti sono diventate gradualmente elementi costitutivi della vita dei suoi abitanti in vari settori, dal paesaggio, all'architettura, all'arte, alla cucina. Luogo sovrano in cui persiste la consapevolezza che le differenze rappresentano una ricchezza, è stato, è e sarà centro di incontri e conflitti, di fusione e separazione, di convivenza armoniosa e continua diffidenza. E' impensabile volere cancellare le tradizioni di ogni popolo, e non …
ARIA...Sostenibile architettura
2019
La consapevolezza del disastro urbano e geografico de- gli ultimi decenni pone tutti i cittadini e i professionisti in particolare, in qualità di artefici consapevoli, di fronte alla necessità della rifondazione e riprogettazione della città e del suo rapporto con l’ambiente, con le risorse naturali ed energetiche. Fin dalla sua fondazione nel 2012 la Sezione di Trapani dell’INBAR ha iniziato il suo percorso di riceerca e di formazione programmando una serie di Bio-Laboratori su tematiche relative alla sostenibilità ambientale e alla Bio-Architettura. The awareness of the urban and geographical disaster of the last decades places all citizens and professionals in particular, as architec…

Development of Eco-Friendly and Self-Cleaning Lime-Pozzolan Plasters for Bio-Construction and Cultural Heritage
2020
Summarization: Nowadays, the design and use of multi-functional mortars has increased significantly, with interesting applications in the green building and cultural heritage conservation sectors. A key point for a correct adoption of these innovative materials is their behavior along time and their resistance to the weathering. The objective of this project was to define the performance and durability of innovative mortars, in order to use them correctly and to avoid irreparable damage over time. For the development of this project, lime–metakaolin and hydraulic lime–metakaolin based mortars (hereinafter called A, B), as well as A and B with the addition of nano-TiO2 and perlite (hereinaft…
Artificial Neural Networks to assess energy and environmental performance of buildings: An Italian case study
2019
Abstract Approximately 40% of the European energy consumption and a large proportion of environmental impacts are related to the building sector. However, the selection of adequate and correct designs can provide considerable energy savings and reduce environmental impacts. To achieve this objective, a simultaneous energy and environmental assessment of a building's life cycle is necessary. To date, the resolution of this complex problem is entrusted to numerous software and calculation algorithms that are often complex to use. They involve long diagnosis phases and are characterised by the lack of a common language. Despite the efforts by the scientific community in the building sector, th…
Arundo Donax particles as reinforcement for PLA based composites
2015
Aim of this work was to use particles obtained by grinding the culms of Arundo Donax used as reinforcement for PLA based composites. The influence of the content (10 wt% and 20 wt%) and size (150-300 μm and 300-500 μm) of Arundo Donax filler (ADF) on the morphology and on the properties of PLA-ADF composites was evaluated. The composites were prepared by melt compounding the PLA with ADF using a co-rotating modular twin screw extruder. For comparison, neat PLA was processed under the same conditions. Both the neat PLA and the composites were characterized by SEM, DSC, tensile and flexural measurements.
Graphene as a tunable resistor
2014
We present the design of a graphene-based electronically tuneable microstrip attenuator operating at a frequency of 5 GHz. The use of graphene as a variable resistor is discussed and the modelling of its electromagnetic properties at microwave frequencies is fully addressed. The design of the graphene-based attenuator is described. The structure integrates a patch of graphene, whose characteristics can range from being a fairly good conductor to a highly lossy material, depending on the applied voltage. By applying the proper voltage through two high-impedance bias lines, the surface resistivity of graphene can be modified, thereby changing the insertion loss of the microstrip attenuator.
