Dry stone buildings in Sicily. An environmental and territorial resource

2013

Dry stone constructions are widespread throughout many regions across the world, in a wide variety of forms, according to the environmental and socio-economic contexts, and constitute a valuable know-how which is today in danger of disappearing. In Sicily dry stone works have traditionally been used in the area of Val di Noto where they constitute a key character of the landscape, and in the Madonie Mounts in which some policies of enhancement have been recently initiated. In the framework of the Grundtvig programme “La préservation du patrimoine architectural bâti en pierre sèche”, an in-depth analysis of these architectures have been pursued, aiming to create a database inventory. This pa…

Fractalité tridiastatique: propositions conceptuelles pour l'aménagement urbain

2015

National audience; Le contexte de cette communication est motivé par l’objectif de la ville durable (se¬lon la définition de l’ICLEI), et tente de contribuer aux solutions conceptuelles qui permettent d’y parvenir. Nous partons du principe que l’étalement urbain est certes identifié comme un processus néfaste a‘ la continuation de l’urbanisation (§ 1.1) , mais posons l’hypothèse qu’il nécessite un chan¬gement de paradigme (penser l’espace ur¬bain en 3D et non plus en 2D) pour être dépassé (§ 1.2).

Renouvellement urbain et ville compacte Modélisation et éva¬luation de la réhabilitation d’ « ouvrages lourds » pour une urbanisation plus durable

2015

National audience; L’étalement urbain est un processus considéré comme un phénomène néfaste pour les agglomérations européennes. Les villes doivent néanmoins composer avec ce phénomène, qu’elles éprouvent au travers de ses conséquences économiques (Carruthers et Ulfarsson, 2003), sociales (Power, 2001 ; Redman et Jones, 2005) et environnementales (Johnson, 2001 ; Bart, 2010).

Formes urbaines et ilots de chaleurs : simulations et outils d'aide à la décision pour une ville durable

2017

National audience; Le monde s’urbanise. Selon les nations unies, plus d’un humain sur deux réside en milieu urbain et un septième de la population habite une agglomération millionnaire. Il s’agit d’une des mutations majeures de l’époque contemporaine. Chaque ville possède des caractéristiques propres (humaines, morphologiques...) mais l’Îlot de Chaleur Urbain (ICU) apparaît comme un phénomène inhérent et commun à toutes. En août 2003, l’Europe a subi une périodeestivale caniculaire ayant causé la mort de plus de 70 000 personnes dont 20 000 uniquement en France (Robine et al, 2008).
