Metamorfosi
2015
Insegnare architettura-fare architettura è il carattere che Vincenzo Melluso riconosce alla Scuola di Palermo e che da anni lui stesso porta avanti. Una didattica del progetto che parte dalla lettura del grande libro del paesaggio abitato e dalle sue mutazioni, per contaminarsi poi in altre discipline e diventare infine forma architettonica Teaching architecture and making architecture is a trait of the Palermo School, says Vincenzo Melluso, who has been putting it into practice for years by first having students peruse the big book of the inhabited landscape and its mutations, then intersecting the discipline with other ones, and finally asking them to create architectural form

Fake Landscapes
2016
L'articolo affronta i risvolti architettonici del camuffamento strategico effettuato per scopi militari durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Si tratta di una pratica particolare messa in atto soprattutto in California nascondendo con enormi teloni dipinti interi edifici o capannoni facendolo apparire come altre cose e quindi evitando il riconoscimento da parte dei bombardieri. Si trattava quindi di fatto di ampie operazioni di land art o di un ambito dove l'architettura del paesaggio incontra la scenografia. Camouflage was a strategic technique used during the Second World War mainly in California but aslo elsewhere. It consisted in a massive operation on the landscape. The essay analyses it…
Gaming as a Key Approach for the Recovery Process of a Public Space: The Case Study of the Old Chemical Plant ‘Chimica Arenella’ in Palermo
2021
This poster describes the FORGE (FactOry of uRban GamEs) project, a proposal that our research group launched in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo (Italy) and other local stakeholders in 2019. FORGE will be hosted in what was previously a chemical plant (the former 'Chimica Arenella') and is an open factory designed to collect needs and to generate interventions for urban innovation. The four key terms we have used for the project are urban, game, factory and participation. In fact, FORGE employs a participatory methodological model based on the concept of game, aimed at supporting social and economic development through a platform for participatory co-design. FORGE plays also a …
The Hydraulic space of the Conca d'Oro of Palermo as a paradigm of the Mediterranean water sensitive city.
2016
The orchards TAL on Palermo periurban countryside follows the Arab conception of hydraulic space. The concept of Hydraulic space combines several technologies to achieve the best use of water resources by differentiating agricultural productions in time and space and by connecting different functions (hydraulic, climatic and aesthetic) in a homogeneous system. This conception of space extends to the whole Conca d’Oro across the countryside to the heart of the historical town to the intimate domestic space in the end. During the Norman age the Zisa source used to refresh and embellish the interior of the castle before water slides towards the gardens; on the surface of Fawara-Maredolce lake …
Cities facing the Wild
2021
Untamed ecosystems and plots of wild nature increasingly constitute large parts of contemporary urban spaces. They are often the unbidden result of a long-standing lack of maintenance as well as of the uncontrolled flourishing of weeds produced by the pesticide absolute ban. But they are also something more. Many recently implemented urban open spaces deal with wild nature to solve some of the most urgent tasks of the contemporary cities: reclaiming areas fallen into disuse, designing sustainable infrastructures, revitalizing valuable public spaces, enhancing the ecological footprint of new developments, suggesting new practices and social ritual, reducing management costs, fighting climate…
Some European green roof norms and guidelines through the lens of biodiversity : do ecoregions and plant traits also matter?
2018
Abstract Green infrastructure and in particular green roofs are crucial to meet the challenge of sustainable urbanisation fostered by the current European Research and Innovation agenda. Several documents were issued in the last decades in Europe for regulating the design, construction and up-keep of roof greening. In particular, the actual German guidelines have been widely adopted as a reference basis for green roof design and regulation worldwide, because of its exhaustiveness and proven building- and landscaping tradition. With the aim to assess the effectiveness of green roof guidelines and norms in supporting plant and soil biodiversity in different ecoregions, and particularly of the…
