A Biologically Inspired Representation of the Intelligence of a University Campus

2016

Abstract Intelligence or smartness in an urban environment implies several factors directed to improve quality of life and efficiency. It is important to note that in this context the inclusion of citizens and their devices is a key factor for reaching smartness. Data from mobile devices are increasingly used in everyday activities and have to be considered a useful means for handling and analyzing knowledge and communications. This paper shows how to represent important data when dealing with smartness by creating an analogy between the representation of human brain areas, activated when specific tasks are performed, and groups of students when behaviors or needs arise. The brain traffic c…

Architettura per i beni confiscati : figure del progetto nei territori del conflitto fra democrazia e criminalità

2023

L’articolo affronta il rapporto fra città, territorio e democrazia a partire dai risultati di una ricerca internazionale, che ha indagato le forme peculiari di crisi del pubblico nei territori del conflitto fra Stato e criminalità mafiosa. Le domande di ricerca si situano in un quadro che intende il territorio come luogo elettivo per leggere le tracce costruite dal rapporto fra comunità e poteri illegali. Esse hanno posto la necessità di indagare l’insieme dei beni confiscati reclamando la necessità dell’intervento progettuale per le trasformazioni spaziali, linguistiche e simboliche senza le quali la loro transizione a beni pubblici non può dirsi pienamente compiuta. Riferiti al terr…

The need for internships and school practices as a method of bridging the gap between education and industry in Romania

2017

Abstract This paper presents the current situation of school practice and internships as ways of reducing the gap between the labor market and education. In the first part, there is highlighted the current situation of Romania comparing with other European countries when it comes about graduates finding a job in their field of studies. Among the biggest issues encountered by a young graduate we see that "Lack of experience” play a big role in not finding a proper job in our country after graduation. So the need to reduce this problem is vital in order to ease finding a job in the studies areas for graduates. A list of advantages is presented to encourage internships/school practice among th…

Indagini briologiche in aree urbane: diversità briofitica dei centri abitati di Erice (Trapani) e Belmonte Mezzagno (Palermo).

2017

Bryologic surveys in urban areas: bryophyte diversity of the population centers of Erice (province of Trapani) and Belmonte Mezzagno ((province of Palermo). The bryophytic flora of the towns of Erice (Trapani) and Belmonte Mezzagno (Palermo) have been studied. The first consists of 53 taxa (42 mosses and 11 liverwort), two of which are new for the province of Trapani, the second of 40 taxa (38 mosses and 2 liverworts), one of which new for the province of Palermo. A comparison between the studied bryofloras and those of other Sicilian urban areas shows that Erice’s bryophytic flora is, given its size, rich in species and families.

Brutalismo: 4 taglie

2007

Limitandosi a vedere questo ampio argomento solo in relazione all’opera di Artigas, si propone di definire la nozione di Brutalismo in 4 diverse taglie. Il cliché storiografico ci propone usualmente una taglia ridotta (small) che vede il brutalismo come un “movimento omogeneo internazionale connotato dall’uso del cemento armato a faccia vista”. Diversi apporti recenti o tentativi di riscontro effettuati personalmente ci inducono ad utilizzare quantomeno una definizione più critica e problematica (medium) dove atteggiamenti, tendenze e azioni sono spesso anche contaddittori. Le reali adesioni al movimento londinese, il ruolo dei fotografi, i rapporti tra brasiliani ed europei sono in questo …

Bryophyte investigations in urban areas: diversity of bryoflora of Erice town.

2016

This work is part of a study of bryophyte floras of Sicilian towns that has highlighted the presence in these environments of interesting taxa from the taxonomic and phytogeographical point of view (1, 2, 3, 4). Given its location, perched at 750 m a.s.l. on the S. Giuliano Mount at the northwestern tip of Sicily, the town of Erice has a climate which, although typically Mediterranean, has a strong wet connotation for the frequent presence of fog, especially in the winter time. These features contribute to creating conditions particularly suited to host bryophytes that grow both on artifacts and on phorophytes present in the city and specially in the Balio urban park. The study has allowed …

Empty Urbanism: the bursting of the Spanish housing bubble

2015

The depth of the Spanish housing crisis manifests itself in the collapse of construction activity and in the amount of housing and land stocks. The geography of the crisis shows its widespread nature, and the intensity of the previous bubble explains spatial differences. Resulting from this collapse are some problematic areas of 'empty urbanism'. An enormous land bubble, emerging from the peculiar Spanish urban development model, was a key factor in the impacts - caused by the crisis - on the territory and land-use plans. The crisis has demonstrated the unsustainability of this and the urgency of change in the existing land-use plans.
