Harry Francis Mallgrave. L'empatia degli spazi. Architettura e neuroscienze
2015
Le informazioni che possiamo acquisire sul molteplice aspetto della realtà passano attraverso la percezione sensoriale che il nostro corpo ha dell’esterno. La relazione fra il corpo e l’architettura è proprio il tema centrale intorno al quale si snoda il libro di Harry Francis Mallgrave che, in quanto pioniere degli studi sull'applicazione delle neuroscienze alla teoria architettonica, svela attraverso "L’empatia degli spazi" la potenza e la forza del corpo nel costruire le forme della realtà. Information we can acquire on the multiple aspect of reality passes through sensory perception that our body has of the outside. The relationship between body and architecture is the central topic of …
Complejidad, reflexividad y autoetnografía. Las posibilidades de la investigación narrativa en la mejora de la práctica profesional
2015
Desde hace unos años es evidente la creciente dificultad para intervenir desde los servicios sociales ante situaciones que se presentan en un contexto de multiplicidad e inestabilidad. Esta realidad, tradicionalmente concebida como una expresión de la complejidad de la sociedad, puede ser también observada desde un enfoque particular y poco conocido de los problemas sociales: el de los wicked problem, que nos acerca a otra forma de entenderlos. Sus cualidades nos llevan a reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de que coexistan ciertos límites en la capacidad de las organizaciones y profesionales para obtener resultados que mejoren significativamente las situaciones a las que se enfrentan. Al mis…
TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD
2018
The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…

Experimental Characterization and Acoustic Correction of a Multipurpose Performance Hall: The Italian Theatre “Cavallino Bianco”
2022
This study presents the retrofit acoustic dq1esign of the Italian theatre “Cavallino Bianco”. In its historical configuration, the hall had a curved roof with a pressed-plant fiber ceiling, which was demolished and replaced with a wooden roof without a false ceiling, leading to an increase in volume and a worsening of the reverberation time. This study proposed the realization of a wave ceiling and the application of sound-absorbing and reflecting panels on the walls, which have already been implemented. These modifications have affected the acoustic characterization of the theatre, as shown both through on-site measurements during the main construction phases and through numerical simulati…
Artificial intelligence centric scientific research on COVID-19 : an analysis based on scientometrics data
2023
AbstractWith the spread of the deadly coronavirus disease throughout the geographies of the globe, expertise from every field has been sought to fight the impact of the virus. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially, has been the center of attention due to its capability to produce trustworthy results in a reasonable time. As a result, AI centric based research on coronavirus (or COVID-19) has been receiving growing attention from different domains ranging from medicine, virology, and psychiatry etc. We present this comprehensive study that closely monitors the impact of the pandemic on global research activities related exclusively to AI. In this article, we produce highly info…
Lo spazio pubblico adattivo: esplorare la transizione digitale per il benessere sociale e ambientale
2022
The present social and environmental challenges, the impact of climate change and the pandemic, revealed the urgency and the opportunity to rethink urban design through its renewed spaces and temporalities. The pandemic offered a ‘natural experiment’ to explore and develop new perspectives, making public spaces more resilient. Contributing towards a rethink of these spaces, the present paper explores adaptive architecture with responsive technologies and their capability of shaping public spaces to constitute a conversation piece with the surrounding environment. This approach combines and reflects different disciplinary fields: architecture, civic interaction and urban design. The explorat…
The Unseen, the Discouraged, and the Outcast : Expressivity and the Foundations of Social Recognition
2018
AbstractThis article analyzes different pathologies of social affirmation and examines the grounds of social recognition from the point of view of the concept of expression. The red thread of the text is provided by Tove Jansson’s fictional works, and the focus will be on three cases in particular (the magic hat, the invisible girl and the figure of the Groke). The article sets out from the phenomenological distinction between the sensible expression, on the one hand, and the expressed content, on the other. By focusing on the three cases, the article distinguishes and analyses the fundamental structures of communal life and explicates different ways in which social affirmation can be one-s…
La chiesa di Santa Maria di Campogrosso ad Altavilla Milicia (Palermo), i ruderi di un monumento normanno tra abbandono, restauri e studi archeologici
2017
The church of Santa Maria di Campogrosso, long abandoned, is now a ruin. However, this church represents an important historical and architectural witness to the presence of “basiliani” monks in eastern Sicily, much less documented than the western Sicily’s one. Moreover, the story of this monument is linked to a very important episode, the Norman conquest of Sicily with the birth of the so-called "arabo-normanna" architecture. The essay describes the history of the church between abandonment, restoration and archaeological studies until the present.
Per la conservazione partecipata, consapevole e diffusa dell'architettura storica e religiosa
2016
Il saggio Per la conservazione partecipata, consapevole e diffusa dell’architettura storica e religiosa è un contributo per meglio conoscere e dunque conservare, facendo fruire, il patrimonio delle preesistenze architettoniche con destinazione religiosa, partendo dal caso delle chiese di Bagheria, ma proponendo un apporto generale sia per la stessa conservazione, ma anche per il dovuto adeguamento liturgico. Infatti, non solamente s‘impone la conservazione del patrimonio storico e religioso, ma unitamente l’adeguamento liturgico secondo il concilio Vaticano II e dei successivi apporti pastorali offerti dalla Conferenza Episcopale Italiana. Nel saggio si sottolinea che qualsiasi nuova aggiun…
