The Urban-Rural Continuum. The Bioclimatic Approach to Design, Between Past and Future
2021
L’ambiente costruito rurale, insieme multiscalare di trasformazioni praticate dall’uomo per accogliere le attività collegate all’agricoltura, suggerisce varie riflessioni sull’approccio bioclimatico nel progetto di architettura. Il contributo mette subito in evidenza il tema del continuum urbano-rurale (luogo intermedio e contraddittorio che condensa le trasformazioni che stanno avvenendo nella contemporaneità, offrendo un banco di prova necessario per tutti i campi del sapere e per tutte le discipline tecnologiche) per evidenziare che la contrapposizione tra urbano e rurale non solo è superata nei fatti, ma anche è teoricamente inadeguata a identificare l’ambiente costruito rurale, nonosta…
Domēnspecifisku rīku konfigurācijas valoda un tās realizācija
2014
Promocijas darbā ir izstrādāts konfigurators plaša profila DSML rīku definēšanai. Konfigurators balstās uz ideju, ka DSML definīciju var uzdot ar universālu metamodeli (UML klašu diagrammas formā), kura pēc tam konfiguratorā tiek apstrādāta, lai nodrošinātu rīka darbību. Turklāt nestandarta gadījumiem, kad esošās metamodeļa iespējas ir nepietiekošas, metamodelī ir realizēts paplašinājuma punktu mehānisms, kas ļauj pievienot rīkam specifiski transformāciju valodā noprogrammētu funkcionalitāti. Izstrādātais konfigurators ir pārbaudīts vairākos praktiskos lietojumos un apliecinājis savu efektivitāti.
Framework for Evaluating the Version Management Capabilities of a Class of UML Modeling Tools from the Viewpoint of Multi-Site, Multi-Partner Product…
2010
UML models are widely used in software product line engineering for activities such as modeling the software product line reference architecture, detailed design, and automation of software code generation and testing. But in high-tech companies, modeling activities are typically distributed across multiple sites and involve multiple partners in different countries, thus complicating model management. Today's UML modeling tools support sophisticated version management for managing parallel and distributed modeling. However, the literature does not provide a comprehensive set of industrial-level criteria to evaluate the version management capabilities of UML tools. This article's contributio…
From UML State Machine Diagram into FPGA Implementation
2013
Abstract In the paper a method of using the Unified Modeling Language diagrams for specification of digital systems, especially logic controllers, is presented. The proposed method is based mainly on the UML state machine diagrams and uses Hierarchical Concurrent Finite State Machines (HCFSMs) as a temporary model. The paper shows a way to transform the UML diagrams to the form that is acceptable by reconfigurable FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). The UML specification is used to generate an effective program in Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), especially Verilog.
Transformations Between UML Diagrams
2003
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides various diagram types for describing a system from different perspectives or abstraction levels. Hence, UML diagrams describing the same system are dependent and strongly overlapping. In this paper we study how this can be exploited for specifying transformation operations between different diagram types. We discuss various general approaches and viewpoints of model transformations in UML. The source and target diagram types for useful transformations are analyzed and given categories. The potentially most interesting transformation operations are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the transformation operations can automate a substantial p…
Design for all strategies for the Palermo's Arab and Norman UNESCO itinerary
2021
Sicily, with its seven sites recognized by UNESCO, is the Italian region that can boast the highest number of them: the last elected is Palermo, which since 2015 is also part of the prestigious World Heritage List. The Palermo itinerary unfolds through eight stages: Royal Palace, Palatine Chapel, Churches of San Giovanni degli Eremiti, Martorana, San Cataldo, Cathedral, Zisa Castle, Bridge of mmiraglio to which the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale. However, Palermo has critical issues that make the tourist route difficult and uncomfortable, not easily accessible due to the limited physical connections that make it difficult for both citizens and tourists with disabilities to move from one …
When is Architecture Not Design?
2019
If there’s nothing more to architecture than design, and to its attendant thinking processes than design thinking, then core dimensions of the enterprise from production and use angles have no special character over and above their counterparts in general design. Yet that does not appear to be true by the lights of architects or design specialists or the public at large. So what is it, at the core or periphery of the discipline or its objects, that makes architecture not design? The ways in which architecture and design constitute artistic enterprises, drawing on and promoting aesthetic interest, differ such that architecture is not, or at least not only, a branch of or variation on desi…
María de Fonseca (c. 1486-1521) and the Marquis of Zenete (1473-1523): Aristocratic Rebels and Patrons of Renaissance Culture
2016
La historia de Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, marqués de Zenete, el hijo primogénito del Cardenal Mendoza, y su segunda mujer María de Fonseca podría proporcionar a un escritor material más que suficiente para escribir una novela apasionante, y ciertamente merece ser mejor conocida, sobre todo en el mundo anglófono. Entre otras cosas, este artículo arroja algo de luz sobre la condición social vulnerable de la mujer en España durante la baja Edad Media y el Renacimiento, cuando había más oportunidades educativas para las damas de la nobleza, y pone en duda el supuesto papel jugado por la reina Isabel en defensa de la libertad y los derechos de la mujer; y discute cómo el marqués de Zenete expresó su…
Crónica de un viaje. Trabajos sobre la arquitectura teatral y la escenificación del teatro del Siglo de Oro
2019
Este artículo describe la trayectoria de un grupo de trabajo dedicado a la investigación del Teatro del Siglo de Oro, especialmente a la arquitectura teatral de los corrales de comedias, a la maquinaria teatral o tramoya de los mismos y la escenificación de los espectáculos. El origen del equipo, trayectorias individuales y singularidad del grupo, ya que no se adscribe a ninguna institución pública. Y que utiliza la documentación filológica, la arquitectura y la reconstrucción virtual como herramientas vinculadas para ofrecer piezas de difusión, análisis y estudio en la materia que nos ocupa This article describes the trajectory of a Work Group dedicated to the investigation of the Golden A…
Ocho notas sobre la Casa Farnsworth de Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
2020
Mies was in the top of his career when he built the Farnsworth House. The analysis of this work shows some characteristics of his architectural thought: the relationships between architecture and nature, the definition of the pavilion type, his concept of architectural space, the role of structure and limits, the idea free plan and the meaning of construction
