Ultra low cost landscape: Parco Uditore in Palermo
2014
Palermo, Siciliy, 15 October 2012. A piece of rural landscape has been given back to the city: hundreds of people flood between Indian figs (opuntia indica),hackberries (celtis australis) and pepper trees (schinus molle), discovering an hidden place, closed to public since a very long time, what is survived from a hard and strong urban development, just because it is a public property. At the beginning of 19th century the place is a huge cultivation of Indian figs, the city is far away. The land comes in public hands as a military zone in the 30’s, just before the II WW: a fuel underneath tank is built, connected to the harbour with a pipeline. After the war the land remains a public place,…
Landscape Architecture and the Green Deal Dare: Five Successful Experiences in Urban Open Spaces
2022
The present work focuses on European cities’ environments and open spaces, aiming to demonstrate how, through landscape architecture, it is possible to respond effectively to many of the ecological and social hardships that the Green Deal aspires to alleviate. It was signed in 2019 by all of the member countries of the Union, seeks to reverse the climate change trend by establishing a series of goals for improving environmental and economic quality for 2030 and 2050 and also aims to enact social justice in rural areas and in the urban environment. Landscape architecture, which is the art of combining the physical and immaterial elements in cities’ open spaces, is taken in this w…
Terra e cielo: architetture di Melluso nel paesaggio mediterraneo
2017
In occasione della recente mostra palermita- na Tra terra e cielo su Vincenzo Melluso, l’autore rac- conta, attraverso le fotografie di Giovanni Chiaramonte, due opere che interpretano il territorio pugliese e costruiscono il paesaggio mediterraneo, interagendo tra loro a scale completamente diverse: una riflessione sul rapporto tra architettura e paesaggio. By the occasion of the recent exhibition on the architecture in Palermo Tra terra e cielo on Vincenzo Melluso, the author tells, through the photography of Giovanni Chiaramonte, of two buildings that interpret the Apulian territory and define the Mediterranean land- scape, interacting with each other at completely different dimensions: …
Paesaggi abusivi in Sicilia
2016
La questione dell’abusivismo edilizio in Sicilia si può leggere come parte di un fenomeno più vasto, quello di una espansione poco programmata e costituita da una grande quantità di edifici costruiti prevalentemente a uso residenziale, tra gli anni ‘60 e ’80, da piccoli imprenditori o da privati, e che hanno dato vita a parti di città dimensionalmente rilevanti. Questi edifici o insediamenti urbani, che si presentano ancora frammentati e incompiuti, sono riconoscibili per materiali, per povertà di linguaggio, per tecnica costruttiva prevalente. Una gran parte di essi sono stati realizzati originariamente fuori dalle regole urbanistiche prescritte, ma nel tempo hanno prodotto tessuti e paesa…
CONFINI E PROGETTO PER LO SPAZIO PUBBLICO A TREVISO
2020
In questa prima parte del Ventunesimo secolo assistiamo alla presenza nelle comunità urbane di attori non istituzionali, soggetti non canonici che, in qualche modo, si presentano sulla scena del governo urbano per sopperire alla mancanza di quelle azioni amministrative che sarebbe invece il dovere naturale degli amministratori della città. Un filo conduttore collega Palermo e Treviso dal 2018, un parallelismo che riunisce rispettivamente l’esperienza di Parco Uditore e Prato della Fiera. Due realtà diverse per storia, geografia, dimensioni, struttura, ma con alcune somiglianze nell’azione svolta da parti delle loro comunità, in uno scenario di riappropriazione e partecipazione attiva, propr…
Architectural library. Dioscuri Temple in Agrigento
2013
This paper presents the synthesis of research about the ICT solution for cultural heritage through the innovative technology of representation and survey. One objective was to identify a method of processing data for knowledge, dissemination and preservation of the asset. Historical analysis, surveying, photogrammetry and laser scanner, the processing of survey data and modelling are all focused to the same final purpose. The methodology developed for this application framework becomes adoptable in General for Cultural Property, which become in turn the protagonists of 3D WebGIS.
Graphic Aalysis of the Project Kina by Teresa Zarnowerowna, 1926
2018
Talking about the cultural and artistic renewal in the postwar Poland one links the issue on the creation of the new generation of architects, artists, sculptors, filmmakers and poets who, coming from easteurope areas enriched by new culture of Cubism, Constructivism, Suprematism became pioneers of an eclectic culture. Among main objectives there was that of broadcasting a multiplicity of groundbreaking ideas giving shape to an artistic attitude toward the image rebuilt acconrding to the new vision, which was totally expressed at the First Exhibition of New Art in Vilnius in 1923. It was a turning point for that avantguard combined with architecture, which played a relevant role, in some ca…
The Urban Landscape in the Graphic Representation of the Cathedral of Palermo
2018
This study proposes some reflections on the relationship between the Cathedral of Palermo and the urban portion where it is placed, in relation to the indissoluble connection with the landscape that in the history offered a variety of perceptive suggestions marked by the passage and the coexistence of different cultural and social domination. To this end, the multiscale historical-urban planning analysis puts in place the role that territorial and urban morphology has had over time in relation to the Cathedral of Palermo. In this sense, the relationship between the architectural artefacts, such as the Royal Palace and the Town Hall, and the urban context is studied according to its access r…
Redrawing the Past, reimaiging the Future. Gamification project for the reinterpretation of historical architecture
2021
The objectives of the work we present concern the reinterpretation of architectural traces of the past with a "gamification" project for educational laboratories to be activated in schools of different order and grade. The methodology used starts from the 3D-reconstruction of disappeared architectures, urban plots where the stratification lends itself to different interpretations, based on the documentary information found and the hypotheses that can be spent directly from reading the artefact. Then it translates everything into diversified outputs to tell the evolution of the monument and the site and its conjectural reconfiguration: from immersive 3D visualization to 3D printing of modula…
Implementare il patrimonio archivistico: ricostruzione virtuale di una villa non realizzata di Giuseppe Samonà in Sicilia
2023
Questo saggio vuole essere una testimonianza dell’importanza culturale e cognitiva degli archivi (del progetto) intesi come patrimonio pubblico. L’azione di re-immaginarli può costituire un veicolo per la loro conoscenza? Con l’analisi di un caso-studio di un’abitazione non realizzata di un architetto del Novecento come Giuseppe Samonà si prova a verificare l’efficacia degli strumenti digitali per l’interpretazione dell’architettura come mezzi per l’implementazione comunicativa di un archivio.
