Trasformazione e riuso dei vuoti urbani: quattro casi studio
2016
Il saggio indaga su contesti urbani consolidati che contengono tracce appartenenti a preesistenze industriali oggi in disuso, ma che costituiscono originali trame urbane da reinterpretare, riqualificare e riutilizzare in alternativa alle nuove espansioni. Il progetto della trasformazione/cambiamento diviene una metodologia d’intervento che richiede approcci, sensibilità e strumenti adeguati, che vanno dal controllo urbanistico a quello architettonico, dalla verifica tecnologica e strutturale a quella sociale e fruitiva. Sono presentate alcune ipotesi progettuali che illustrano come la valorizzazione delle aree industriali possa contribuire alla rigenerazione urbana di interi quartieri o por…
Towards a Comprehension of University Dropout in Catalonia: the Case of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
2015
The article presents the results of a research that aims to unfold the reasons behind students’ dropout at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). Data is analyzed, and interviews and focus groups with students who have dropout, study degree’s coordinators and institutional authorities are carried out. Results indicate that part of the abandonment taking place is voluntary, natural and even necessary, when the student does not enter the desired option or discovers that the studies do not fi t with their vocational interests, but it also represents a misalignment between the academic offer and the students’ capabilities, performance and motivation.
De barrio-problema a barrio de moda: gentrificación comercial en Russa-fa, El “Soho” valenciano
2015
Russafa neighborhood in Valencia (Spain) has become the center of one of the most ambitious urban redevelopment plans implemented by the local council in recent years. This old neighborhood of merchants and artisans, that during the 80's and 90’s experienced a long period of degradation and neglect, is today the multicultural trendy district for tourists and citizens The aim of this paper is to show the gentrification process emerged in this neighborhood, and how from the abandonment that characterized it just a decade ago, it has undergone a fast process of festivalization and economic transformation with the arrival of the “creative classes”, that so far has caused few reactions, despite …
PLANT SUCCESSION ON SICILIAN TERRACES
2007
189 phytosociological relevés have been made in five areas of Sicily, three on volcanic substrates and two on limestones, to study plant community succession trends within abandoned terraced vineyards and cereal fields. Disturbance status and abandonment age was recorded for each sample plot. DCA of these relevés suggests that four are the most important factors driving succession, i.e. geological substrate, bioclimate, age of abandonment and disturbance. In most cases - if there are some dispersal centres near the old fields - undisturbed and less disturbed terraces evolve quite rapidly towards the local potential “climax” community. Different tren…
Gli avantesti delle opere abbandonate. Georges Perec e la disseminazione dei fantasmi del romanzo
2022
The abandoned work is a form of voluntary incompletion because the interruption of the writing process is decided by the author himself. Abandonment is preceded by considerations and traces that make the process intelligible, especially when identified in avant-textual documents in which the author often not only plans the construction of the text but also reasons about it by tracing the criticalities that condition its progress. The article aims to reflect on some aspects of Georges Perec's abandoned works, showing how these are integrated within the completed works through the processes of dissemination and proliferation.
The impact of the farming, abandonment and agricultural intensification on loss of water and soil. The example of the northern slopes of the Serra Gr…
2012
Land abandonment throughout the twentieth century led to an intense landscape transformation in the mountain areas of the Iberian Peninsula. In some cases, and after 50 years of abandonment, agriculture returned with the development of commercial farms and the intensification of the agrarian activities. In the Easter Iberian Peninsula, following the abandonment of olive groves, vineyards and cereals during the 50's, has been in the past two decades the expansion of intensive citrus production on sloping terrain. Geomorphological transects and simulated rainfall experiments have quantified the impact of traditional rainfed cultivation of the 50's, abandonment, and the intensification of farm…
Un paisaje que cambia. Monumentos que fueron en tierras valencianas
2001
En el presente artículo se estudian varios edificios de la Comunidad Valenciana, que se remontan a una época relativamente lejana. A la luz de los estudios recientes y de la investigación arqueológica se puede constatar la escasez de restos, a excepción de algún caso aislado. El contenido comprende fundamentalmente murallas, castillos, palacios señoriales, torres, algún convento o ermita, y el Jardín Botánico del palacio del Arzobispo en Puzol. Las comarcas donde se ubican los monumentos son: "el Camp de Morvedre", "el Camp del Turia", "l'Horta Nord", "la Plana de Utiel-Requena", "la Ribera Alta", "la Safor", "la Vall d'Albaida" y "la Costera".

Do Vulnerable Youth Dream Of Precarious Employment? Decision Making at (In/Ex) clusion Pathways
2015
Este trabajo aborda el análisis de los discursos de jóvenes que han tenido dificultades en su itinerario educativo y que han participado en “itinerarios de segunda oportunidad”. A partir de entrevistas a jóvenes, pretendemos aproximarnos a los argumentos desde los que dan sentido a sus itinerarios académicos y a las decisiones a las que se han enfrentado. Estos argumentos muestran fuertes implicaciones de la posición social de los actores, y están influidos por agentes de la institución educativa y familiar. En ese marco los jóvenes van configurando unas expectativas de futuro. Estas expectativas se debaten entre tres vías: salidas a espacios laborales poco cualificados y precarios, aunque …
El derribo decimonónico de la Casa de la Ciudad de Valencia
2011
En el año 1860 se consumó el derribo total de la antigua Casa de la Ciudad de Valencia. ¿Edificio ruinoso o deliberadamente arruinado? A un cierto deterioro inicial no atendido correctamente se sumó el oprobio, la desidia, la inoperancia y la nefasta gestión de un gobierno municipal que cambiaba de presidencia con demasiada asiduidad en virtud de los vaivenes políticos y sociales. A ello se sumaron intereses económicos derivados de las nuevas alineaciones viales circundantes. El presente estudio desvela los pormenores de la pérdida de uno de los tantos edificios sucumbidos en la Valencia del siglo XIX. (A)
