The book is the result of some thoughts that I have gained during my stay in Jordan, where, for a few years, I have been teaching and researching, following an intense exchange activities developed productively thanks to the cooperation agreements between the University of Palermo, the University of Jordan in Amman and Al al-Bayt University of Mafraq.

What happens at the lesson start?
2016
AbstractTransitional periods, such as lesson starts, are necessary steps from one activity to another, but they also compete with time for actual learning. The aim of the present study was to replicate a previous pilot study on lesson starts and explore possible disturbances. In total, 130 lesson starts in Finnish basic education in grades 1–9 were studied using systematic observation performed by 79 preservice teachers. The results corresponded with a previous pilot study indicating that lesson starts were generally orderly and teachers used effective means to manage events. However, lessons started 5 min late on average. Male teachers were evaluated to have better classroom order than fem…
Spazi aperti di comunità in ambito climatico Mediterraneo. Il caso di Hassan Fathy in Egitto
2022
The complexity of the relationship between architecture and the Mediterranean climate, in energy regimes and resource scarcity, requires special attention. Specifically, the article aims to explore how community spaces can become design subjects, intervening in climatic, environmental, social, and cultural features. Hassan Fathy’s architecture, in particular the two schools in New Gourna and Fares, offer a different key to understanding man, climate, culture, technology, and education. A relationship that is still evolving today, calling architecture back toits educational and social focus.
The Urban Landscape and the Real Estate Market. Structures and Fragments of the Axiological Tessitura in a Wide Urban Area of Palermo
2016
The proposed study deals with the urban landscape of Palermo and its possible representation from the perspective of the real estate market analysis. Real estate is one of the most significant types of capital asset and the wide range of its possible utilizations makes complex the interpretation of the market phenomena. The multi-layered reality of such a large city (represented through the sample of 500 properties) needs to be articulated into a significant set of sub-markets in order to outline the complexity and to map the distribution of homogeneous groups of properties within the whole city area. The comparison between quality and price within each cluster allows us to elicit the degre…

2021

Palermo. Una città, una visione
2019
The city of Palermo is open towards South West. It is from that directions that all the connections to Europe arrive. Yet the importance of that area has been rarely acknowledged. Marcello Panzarella, architect and professor of architecture has carefully studied that area. Students'work and his own research work span more than a decade. Its outcome is contained in the book, which is also a real urban project for Palermo
Collaborative Governance in Portugal – Yes or No? A critical approach based on an empirical survey
2019
Collaborative governance can be defined as a concerted type of decision-making and collective action in which government bodies and private sector stakeholders interact as equal partners with the aim of achieving outcomes of interest for both parties. In practical terms, this is a type of governance where special meetings and negotiations are held – typically in somewhat elitist and secretive settings – with the aim of defining shared responsibilities and benefits associated with joint public-private ventures. Academic authors in favour of the adoption of collaborative governance in Portugal tend to present a rather positive view on the merits of this approach. They argue that it is potenti…
Patsy Healey and Collaborative Planning (2005): Re-thinking Democracy in the ‘Reasoning in Public’ Arena
2022
The interpretation of the notion of citizenship has led some authors to the conclusion of the necessity of overcoming a ‘restricted conception’ of citizenship, in order to gain a more inclusive recognition of a cosmopolitan, rather than a mere universal, recognition of rights. So, three core issues are tightly intertwined in this paper: the controversial issue of citizenship in its multiple facets: the formal that is institutional, the substantial and the denied one; the role of planning and its ethical implications; and the very idea of democracy in its dichotomy: institutional versus substantial. Patsy Healey’s work offers us a wide set of normative perspectives and intellectual stimuli, …
Presentazione

La Collezione Basile può essere intesa come la concreta, naturale relazione tra l’odierno Dipartimento di Architettura, erede della Facoltà di Architettura, dell’Università di Palermo e la Cattedra di Geometria Pratica, Architettura Civile ed Idraulica della Facoltà Filosofica del 1806, della Regia Università degli Studi di Palermo e, spingendosi oltre, con la precedente stessa Cattedra di Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia, già presente nell’allora Regia Accademia degli Studi. Questa pubblicazione costituisce da una parte una sintesi rispetto alla ricchezza della Collezione, un tassello di una più ampia ricerca, dall’altra sembra ritrarla con una forma molto simile allo straordinario Ficus macrop…
