Una nuova tappa del percorso OSDOTTA
2011
Il presente volume fa seguito a cinque pubblicazioni della stessa collana, esito delle precedenti edizioni del Seminario annuale della Rete OSDOTTA (OSservatorio del DOTtorato in Tecnologia dell’Architettura). Fondata nel 2004, a oltre vent’anni dall’istituzione dei primi dottorati di ricerca in Italia, OSDOTTA ha risposto alla diffusa esigenza di comporre un quadro conoscitivo e propositivo della ricerca universitaria nel campo della tecnologia dell’architettura . This is the sixth and latest publication from the same series, which has covered the previous editions of the annual OSDOTTA Network (OServatorio del DOTtorato in Tecnologia dell’Architettura; lit. observatory of Phd studies in t…
Architettura per il terzo fragile. I patrimoni di Pizzo Sella fra riuso sociale, sostenibilità civica e giustizia spaziale
2022
Il territorio palermitano è il primo in Europa per presenza di beni confiscati. I casi sono diverse migliaia e compongono una realtà emblematica rispetto ai fattori di fragilità sociali e spaziali dei ter-ritori contesi fra crimine e giustizia, in cui spicca la vicenda iconica e irrisolta di Pizzo Sella. La ricerca di cui quest’articolo restituisce alcuni risultati indaga quindi il rapporto fra la produzio-ne dell’architettura della res publica e i contesti in cui il concetto di Pubblico è in panne, in cui la diversione dalla legge e l’antagonismo esercitato da forze illegali non sono un’aberrazione tempora-nea, ma la regola, e lasciano tracce materiali sui modi di produzione delle forme co…
Indoor air quality of everyday use spaces dedicated to specific purposes—a review
2017
According to literature data, some of the main factors which significantly affect the quality of the indoor environment in residential households or apartments are human activities such as cooking, smoking, cleaning, and indoor exercising. The paper presents a literature overview related to air quality in everyday use spaces dedicated to specific purposes which are integral parts of residential buildings, such as kitchens, basements, and individual garages. Some aspects of air quality in large-scale car parks, as a specific type of indoor environment, are also discussed. All those areas are characterized by relatively short time use. On the other hand, high and very high concentration level…
Design at the root of biophilia. Imitation. Nature
2021
According to the current state of research on the phenomenon of biophilia, the positive influence of nature's elements on humans has long been widely understood. Since the negative impact of urbanised areas on quality of life was noticed, human-friendly architecture has been redefined, where the physical and mental well-being of people using buildings, remains highly dependent on their contact with the environment. Selected examples of existing buildings analyzed two different approaches to contemporary biophilic architecture; one where nature is the pedestal of the whole building and one where the interpretation of nature translates into technological, engineering or structural solutions. …
Control of Acoustical Quality of Indoor Spaces: Thorough Analysis of the Influence of Façade Typologies
2001
Building shape is of prime importance with regard to the acoustic aspects of achieving adequate indoor environmental quality. This paper presents experimental results obtained in a measurement programme carried out at CSTB, using reduced-scale models. The objectives were to identify the architectural forms of façades' best for noise mitigation, and to address the influence of façade architecture on indoor acoustic quality. Many façade typologies have been assessed in different situations involving combinations of structural and architectural elements, such as balustrades, balconies, loggias, etc. A systematic simulation of real configurations (buildings in front of one another, stacked or …
Documentation and Archiving
2014
In this chapter a historical survey on the development of balances is presented, also in tabular form. The documentation of balance constructions in museums and literature is shown. The development of science museums, technical libraries, and societies which include balances is reviewed, and a list of museums which exhibit balances is given.
From Historical Silk Fabrics to Their Interactive Virtual Representation and 3D Printing
2020
The documentation, dissemination, and enhancement of Cultural Heritage is of great relevance. To that end, technological tools and interactive solutions (e.g., 3D models) have become increasingly popular. Historical silk fabrics are nearly flat objects, very fragile and with complex internal geometries, related to different weaving techniques and types of yarns. These characteristics make it difficult to properly document them, at the yarn level, with current technologies. In this paper, we bring a new methodology to virtually represent such heritage and produce 3D printouts, also making it highly interactive through the tool Virtual Loom. Our work involves sustainability from different per…
The virtual reconstruction of the minaret of Mansourah mosque (Algeria)
2015
This contribution synthetically addresses some of the photogrammetric solutions available today in the field of architectural-archaeological survey and the related applications outcome, evaluated during both the acquisition phase of metric data than in those of effective yield of refunds infographics. Therefore, we have focused on the virtual reconstruction of one of the most emblematic and symbolic building of the Algerian culture, the mosque of Mansourah, returning the minaret as it appeared before its partial collapse, namely correspondent in geometry, textures, and colours. The work is part of a larger research project to promote knowledge and dissemination of Algeria cultural heritage,…
BIM Modelling of Ancient Buildings
2018
In the last years, new procedures on design and management of constructions, based on 3D standardised models of building elements, have been proposed. It’s the case of Building Information Modelling (BIM) applications, that, differently from CAD ones, allow to work with libraries of 3D parametrical objects (smart objects) describing geometric, structural and material properties of building elements. This methodology is based on the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) model, that represents a global standard for the building data exchange. Initially used for the design of new architectures, BIM methodology has been even more considered also for the management and the conservation of historical…
A Case Study to evaluate the indoor global quality
2013
This paper proposes two complementary procedures for assessing the global quality comfort: the first one, prevalently objective, is based on the acquisition of microclimate measured data and computed subjective values; the second one, that is purely subjective, uses a questionnaire drawn from the ISO/DP 10551 Recommendation. An application to some lecture-halls and laboratories of the school is here showed.
