BARI - PUNTA PEROTTI
2006
"Ut omnes unus sint" Nel maggio del 1087, l’evento della traslazione delle reliquie di San Nicola conferma per la città di Bari una vocazione di luogo di frontiera, di corrispondenze e di continuità con le realtà non più solo politico-economiche, ma soprattutto spirituali e di pensiero popolare con i territori oltremare. Bari si costruisce nei secoli su una successione di dominazioni straniere e su una rete di relazioni di lunga distanza, e lo stesso aspetto morfologico della forma urbis sembra esserne manifesto edificato, con l’arroccato nucleo originario proteso nel mare e le lunghe strade che dal territorio retrostante lo agganciano (la romana via Traiana stessa è il naturale attestament…
Citazione del progetto dell'autore in F. Purini, Vema, una nuova città italiana per la Biennale di Venezia.
2006
Il progetto è citato nel saggio introduttivo di F. Purini, che concerne l’esplorazione progettuale presentata alla X Biennale di Venezia: Vema, una nuova città italiana. I venti progettisti, tra cui Santo Giunta, sono stati selezionati tramite una ricognizione su libri e riviste, tenendo anche conto della complessità della scena architettonica italiana, che presenta notevoli articolazioni regionali oltre a consistenti e profonde differenze di impostazione tra le numerose scuole di architettura.
Il paradigma bio-regionale per il progetto di ri-territorializzazione (re-embedding) dell’insediamento umano
2019
Il testo propone una rilettura ed interpretazione del paradigma bio-regionale come riferimento per pratiche interpretative, di governance e progetto di territorio finalizzate alla “rilocalizzazione” dell’insediamento umano nel suo milieu socio-culturale ed ambientale di prossimità. Il riferimento primario è all’ampio e polifonico movimento culturale bio-regionale sviluppatosi in particolare negli Stati Uniti tra la fine degli anni sessanta e l’inizio degli anni settanta del XX secolo. È in questo quadro che si costituisce progressivamente il tema del “bioregionalismo urbano” o della “bioregione urbana” come nodo concettuale intorno al quale ri-articolare il recupero di una relazione co-evol…
Sustainable Urban Requalification: Circularity of Processes for a New Metabolism
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…
Adaptive Materials Research for Architecture
2018
The volume "Adaptive Materials Research for Architecture" is a Special Issue of the journal "Advanced Material Research". The goal of this volume is to spread knowledge on studies, analyses and results of scientific research carried out from academics, researchers, and scientists regarding the soundest issues related to smart materials, innovative technologies and ongoing researches in the field of adaptive materials in past and current architectural practice.
Environmental impact on historical monuments: The black crusts of the Venice lagoon
2020
Black crusts are typical decay forms on calcareous rocks in polluted urban environments. Their origin is due to “sulphation” reaction of calcium carbonate substrates (CaCO3), as a consequence of pH value decrease caused by SO2 in the polluted atmosphere. They can be therefore defined as a passive air pollution sampler. For the purpose of this work, samples from the historic center of Venice were analyzed. The city of Venice suffers in particular maritime and industrial pollution (Marghera industrial zone). By means of minero-petrographic and geochemical analyses, it was possible to obtain information on the mineralogy of the crust and its interaction with the underlying substrates, other th…
Void Zone: Readings of Fear and Solitude in the Post-industrial/Post-modern City
2009
The explosion of the city consequent to the industrial revolution and, even more, the sprawling diffusion arising in Europe from the post-industrial transformations let us talk about the disappearing of the border of the city. A diffuse urbanization cancer wastes the landscape and finally the city can be defined more for what it's not (it's no country, it's no natural landscape, it's no nature) than for a definite urban space. If the city is configured principally by its surplus (interstices, spaces under, undefined extensions of un-urban urbanization, infrastructural nets...), in a different sense we may, finally, talk about the thickening of the border of the contemporary, postmodern, Eur…
Periferie e città contemporanea. Progetti per i quartieri Borgo Ulivia e Zen a Palermo.
2012
Suburbs and contemporary city. Projects for the Borgo Ulivia and Zen neighbourhoods in Palermo. Within the general research issue, the study introduces the distinctive features of the in-depth analysis of Pal- ermo focusing on its protagonists, the two neigh- bourhoods of Borgo Ulivia and ZEN (the acronym stands for northern expansion zone). Two innova- tive parts have been examined in the extensive ur- ban context of the two settlements: the experimen- tal centre in Borgo Ulivia, designed by Giuseppe Samonà (coordinator), Antonio Bonafede, Roberto Calandra, Edoardo Caracciolo and ZEN 2 designed by Franco Amoroso, Salvatore Bisogni, Vittorio Gregotti, Hiromichi Matsui and Franco Purini. The…
Civic resielience : botanical gardens in North America, birth, development, and enviromental awarness
2023
The chapter explores from a historical perspective the birth of botanical gardens in North America, considered a significant part of the ecological network system and of the green and blue 'infrastructure'. This important system opposes geographical risk, which must be organically dealt with in programmes, plans and strategies that protect the landscape, prevent risks, and strengthen short-, medium- and long-term actions, also involving local Communities, integrating the vision to the different scales of intervention and projects. The Botanical Garden, seen here as an 'Open Work', has an important role not only because it preserves botanical specimens that come from all over the world, but …
Il sistema dei confini
2020
As far as architecture is concerned, boundaries are not standing-alone entities. They rather act in systems. This is of paramount importance when looking at the complex overlapping of different and heterogeneous boundaries within physical space. The paper emphasizes and focus on this issue, using some architectural theoretical speculations over centuries as well as examples taken from art and philosophy.
