THE "TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS" OF HERITAGE CONSERVATION: FACTORS OF DECAY-INSTRUMENTS OF BUILDING RECOVERY AND PREVENTION MEASURES
2006
This is the age of the “global knowledge”, of the “local inadequacies”, of the specialist enterprises and of the managerial difficulties to limit the risk both material (structural decay/ physical obsolescence / security needs / static disease) and cultural and environmental (function degradations – inattentive environmental conditions) of the discontinuity between the past and the present and to realize the right living conditions and protection of heritage conservation, it is necessary to create new perspectives “to continue to make history consciousness”. The new instruments of the recovery and maintenance of the extant as well as the new strategies of equilibrium and protection for the …
The role of technological culture in the theoretical dichotomy between technique and form/Il ruolo della cultura tecnologica nella dicotomia teorica …
2017
La cultura tecnologica spiega il rapporto tra forma e tecnica basandosi su una dimensione concreta ed esistenziale. «La dimensione esistenziale “verità” si manifesta attraverso la storia, ma il suo significato trascende la situazione storica. Tale concretizzazione dipende in genere dal come siano le cose fatte, ossia dalle forme e dalla tecnologia» (Schulz, 1979). In tal ottica il saggio esplora teorie e prassi della cultura tecnologica sul rapporto tra materia e forma e tra architettura e tecnica, a partire dal concetto di tecnologia: dall’evoluzione storica delle tecniche e dei sistemi costruttivi al valore dell’innovazione, sondando nelle problematiche ideologiche, sociali e materiali ch…
ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTIONS IN COASTAL AREAS. PALERMO’S SEASIDE
2012
Strategies to qualify coastal settings must be focused on the evaluation of seaside even in terms of sustainable tourism increasing. Projecting and operating to realize these aims means: to stimulate an eco-compatible behaviour even through new law instruments aimed to reach quality standards, to activate an ecological net of receptive structures, to realize suistable instruments to periodically monitor places the control the environmental impact. In this way, the present study analyzes the problems of Palermo’s seaside, attacked by urbanization and wild speculation, expressing on the forecast of urban plans and on eco-compatible usage strategies
Experiencing Authenticity at Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House
2021
Experiences of authenticity are studied at Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House – today a modern house museum – which has gone through renovations and changes. Visitors were interviewed to find out how they feel about the authenticity of the place, if the changes affect their experience of authenticity, and if they share the same opinions. A review of the literature on the concept of authenticity is carried out and its implications for museum contexts is considered, and then the research questions are answered by analysing 30 interviews of visitors to the Experimental House.
Green Roofs as Effective Tools for Improving the Indoor Comfort Levels of Buildings—An Application to a Case Study in Sicily
2020
In the line of pursuing better energy efficiency in human activities that would result in a more sustainable utilization of resources, the building sector plays a relevant role, being responsible for almost 40% of both energy consumption and the release of pollutant substances in the atmosphere. For this purpose, techniques aimed at improving the energy performances of buildings&rsquo
THE BUILDING RECOVERY OF A TRUTH OF PALERMO (SICILY)
2008
The building recovery of a truth of Palermo (Sicily) -The study means to make its contribution to the knowledge and to the recovery of the architectural patrimony which is chronological inserted in the arc of xxth century, to study its cultural and material weaving, spotlighting the truth of Palermo. It is characterised by an evident heritage and hidden inheritances which seem to be from successive human vicissitudes, This research aims at the creation of new models of interpretation of the cultural heritage,
123D Catch: efficiency, accuracy, constraints and limitations in architectural heritage field
2013
Today, the accurate and detailed reconstruction of geometric models of real objects has become a common process. The diffusion of Image-based 3D modeling techniques, through image-based free, low cost and open source software, have increased drastically in the past few years, especially in the sector of Cultural Heritage (Architecture, Archeology, Urban planning). Nevertheless, web based software (ARC3D, 123D Catch, Hyp3D, my3Dscanner) offer another opportunity respect the desktop systems: they use the power of cloud computing to carry out a semi-automatic data processing. In this way is overcome the considerably slowing-down of the computer of hardware-heavy approaches. Our research inves…
Competitive Urban Models
2014
Tecnologica e interconnessa, in una parola sostenibile, confortevole, attrattiva, sicura in una parola “smart”: questa è come la smart city appare, un modello di città su cui l’Europa e il mondo, i governi stanno scommettendo per provvedere uno sviluppo urbano bilanciato tenendo in conto della domanda di welfare che proviene dalla classe media. Il modello smart city qui è descritto in accordo con i più recenti studi su tema. Indici e caratteristiche numeriche concretamente valutano il differente aspetto del modello nelle due analisi i cui risultati sono riportati e commentati nel presente capitolo. The smart city model is here described according to the most recent studies on the topic. Ind…
L'architettura ed il pianeta malato
2023
Global warming and building activity are strictly tied.This should lead architects to reconsider their design attitudes. Yet this does not happen if not as mere technologal answer. The reasons for this inadequacy fall within an ample process tht dates back to Cartesio and that has been delineated by Husserl and existantialist thinkers. The problematic and meaningful contribution by Paolo Soleri and the Metabolists are analyzed to understand the reasons of the complex relation between scientism, technology and environmentalism.
Le giuste operazioni
2019
The relationship between abstract art and architecture is briefly commented as against the research work of Lorenzo Degli Esposti's book Operazioni in arte ed in architettura. especially the conceptual work of Sol LeWitt, and Smythson is focused commenting upon its use in architectural design and namely in compositional methods.
