Vivere la città in evoluzione: il ruolo dei paesaggi urbani storici
2021
Cultural and social aspects in post pandemic age are mainly connected with land use, mainly in high-density urban contexts. It is relevantly in historical centres where urban communities ask for spaces for cultural activities, creativity, aimed at social cohesion. The paper describes this condition in UNESCO Historical Urban Landscape Policy and demonstrates in what way it can be applied at Palermo Historical Centre.
RIFIUTI E CITTA' STORICA. IL PAESAGGIO URBANO E L’IMPATTO DELLE SOLUZIONI TECNOLOGICHE
2019
Circular management of resource flows is an operational problem that appears with greater severity in an historical urban landscape due to the constraints generated by road fabrics and by the need to protect its values. It often happens that the degradation generated by the irresolute nature of the technical-environmental issues related to the service management, affects both the vulnerability of the historical city characters and the involvement of different actors. Here, we present the results of a research work that, through a case study, develops the experimentation of a methodology that identifies criteria for a waste collection system planning in an urban landscape of high historical …
Trascrivere il tessuto. Progetti di architettura per il centro antico di Palermo
2022
Il volume che contiene il saggio presenta uno sguardo trasversale che prova a coniugare le risorse storiche dei paesaggi urbani, gli interventi di conservazione con le trasformazioni contemporanee di qualità, il patrimonio tangibile e intangibile, lo sviluppo economico e sociale, indirizzandolo soprattutto a una loro immissione nella vita quotidiana della città. In ciascuno dei contributi vi è una specifica attenzione al ruolo dell’Architettura nella costruzione delle nuove relazioni urbane nel confronto tra la città contemporanea e i ‘Paesaggi storici urbani‘. Il saggio, richiamando l’esperienza svolta nell’ambito di un ampio laboratorio di laurea, affronta la ricostruzione di edifici rido…

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…
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…
