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
EVOLUTION OF BUILDING SISTEMS AND BUILDING PATOLOGIES: VARIABLES OF INTERACTION
2006
This paper describes the "variables of interaction" between architecture-materials-techiques and the problems inherent in building recovery. Programming the building recovery for the development of guidelines for the 21ts century construction must take into consideration the complex correlation between technologies and related building pathologies.
STRUCTURE, ENVELOPE AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION The reinforced concrete in the construction of very tall buildings
2014
Until the second half of the nineteenth century, ie until the Industrial Revolution, the building structures played static function and also protective function. In the course of time separating the combination goes. The introduction of iron leads to a progressive "innovation" of building structures. The first application of iron in construction dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. They were first made with cast-iron columns and beams in iron and later with particular types of steel. The architecture of the iron is a true regeneration of the way of building, the cities are filled with sophisticated solid structures and slim at the same time, it enhances the transparency of glass, it in…
Branding4Resilience: Explorative and Collaborative Approaches for Inner Territories
2022
This article analyzes inner and marginal territories in four Italian peripheral contexts by first discussing some of the results and future steps of the “B4R Branding4Resilience” research project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Research from 2020 to 2023. The overall research is based on three phases: (1) the exploration phase to analyze socio-economic data and territorial dynamics; (2) the co-design phase involving local actors to develop ideas for a selected pilot case; (3) the co-visioning phase where a future transformative perspective for the whole area was shared with the institutions. The article focuses on phase 1 and presents some first results achieved by the application of a m…
Bar-sur-Aube (Aube). 13 rue Beugnot et 2, 4, 10 rue du Prieuré [notice archéologique]
2019
Un projet immobilier de réhabilitation de l’îlot du prieuré Saint-Pierre (dépendance de l’abbaye Saint-Claude dans le Jura), accolé à l’église éponyme, au NO de la ville ancienne de Bar-sur-Aube, a entraîné la prescription d’un diagnostic archéologique sur les deux « cours » concernées par le projet et sur une analyse du potentiel archéologique conservé en élévation. Ce diagnostic a montré d’importants aménagements médiévaux encore conservés au sein du prieuré Saint-Pierre dont la création est antérieure au milieu du XIIe s., tant dans les élévations que dans les données stratigraphiques. Bien que les remaniements modernes et contemporains soient conséquents, et caractéristiques d’une opéra…
The influence of architecture, design and physical environment in residential buildings on cardiovascular disease – rationale and protocol for an ove…
2023
Introduction and Objective. Architecture and design solutions profile the environment and living conditions in residential housing and may have an impact on health. The aim of the study was to summarise all published systematic reviews (SRs) with or without meta-analysis (MAs), which assess the effect on cardiovascular disease (CVD) of the architecture, design and physical environment in residential buildings. Materials and method. This study presents the rationale and protocol of an overview of SRs. It was prepared according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). Four bibliographical databases will be searched. Eligible SRs can include RC…
Viollet-le-Duc e la scoperta delle origini dell’architettura gotica
2017
Nella ricorrenza del secondo centenario della nascita, questo studio vuole mettere in evidenza alcuni aspetti ancora poco esplorati della formazione di Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, che hanno influenzato in modo fondamentale le sue ricerche. Ci si riferisce particolarmente all’interesse per la produzione artistica del Medioevo a cui lo studioso francese dedicherà le sue energie di ricercatore instancabile nel tentativo di trovare provenienze, derivazioni ed evoluzione dell’architettura gotica che rappresenterà anche lo stile ideale a cui riferirsi per collocarsi all’avanguardia della produzione architettonica del proprio tempo. Le naturali inclinazioni, la formazione liceale e la speciali…
Los veleros de comercio romano del Mediterráneo Occidental : análisis de familias y firmas arquitecturales (s. III a.C. - II d.C.)
2013
La thèse que nous présenté vise, à partir de l’analyse des épaves des navires de commerce romains de la Méditerranée occidentale, à définir des « familles architecturales » à partir de critères significatifs constituant autant de «signatures architecturales » caractéristiques d’une même origine. Ces familles sont ensuite mises en relation, sur le plan chronologique et sur le plan géographique, en liaison avec un espace de navigation donné, afin de déterminer leur origine. Cette démarche se situe, humblement, dans le prolongement des études d’archéologie navale les plus récentes qui ont mis en évidence, sur le plan méthodologique, le rôle des notions de « système architectural », de « famill…
COLLEGAMENTI PER UN’IDENTITÀ CULTURALE COMUNE NEL BACINO DEL MEDITERRANEO
2021
Il Mar Mediterraneo può essere considerato il legame comune tra tutti i Paesi che lo circondano. Diversi popoli, culture, arti, mestieri, religioni e tradizioni lo hanno attraversato, forgiando una identità culturale condivisa e differenze che possono essere facilmente rintracciate in molte città e territori. La città mediterranea suggerisce unioni e dissonanze, suggellando il patto di alleanza che ha visto convivere pacificamente una società multietnica e multiculturale, creata anche a seguito di dominazioni imposte. Molte città affacciate sul Mar Mediterraneo, come quelle di Barcellona, Palermo e Skikda, obbligano ancora oggi a una riflessione su quanto appaia evidente la relazione tra i …
The effect of balconies on energy efficiency of multi-unit residential buildings: A state of art review
2019
Multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) has become common in urban areas in order to accommodate the demands of the increasing urban population and make use of limited urban land. These buildings are high consumers of energy and natural resources with significant carbon footprints. Efforts are hence needed to make new and existing MURBs more energy efficient and environmentally. Balconies in MURBs can help decrease operational energy in addition to providing a connection to the outdoor environment for the residents. If properly designed, MURBs balconies in cold climates can help in enhancing solar gains while in warm climates, they can be useful in providing a sub-space capable of cooling …
