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. …

La portada de la iglesia de las Escuelas Pías de Gandía. Su proceso constructivo y modulación arquitectónico-musical
2020
The facade of the church of the Pious Schools of Gandia has not attracted the attention of researchers. However, its conception has a great architectural culture and constitutes an essential work to understand its context, fundamentally, that of the theoretical treatises of the Renaissance. From this study it is wanted to value its architecture and that it is considered as an outstanding ingredient to know its period of construction in general and jesuit architecture in particular. For its understanding, its interpretation in the culture of contemporary architecture treaties and, especially, in the architectural-musical theory of Leon Battista Alberti will be necessary.. La portada de la ig…
New digital trends in current architecture. A comprehensive critical examination
2017
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, which has contributed to the birth of new figurative trends. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent architectures which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation skills to control and manipulate form. We will also do an overview of these new architec…
La Palermo di Vincenzo Melluso
2017
Ci sono voluti 3.000 anni per fare Palermo. A compierla sono stati in molti: un’umanità di costruttori sospinta in avanti da valori e ragioni mutevoli, differenti, e che lì, approdata a un certo punto lì, in un anfiteatro immaginato dalla natura, ha iniziato a costruire. Questo sovrapporsi arriva a chi ci vive oggi, in forma esplosiva. Non serve disporre di uno sguardo attrezzato, quello che sa indagare la condizione insediativa, la varietà dei caratteri, la funzionalità strutturale degli incroci tra spazi urbani e privati: camminate per Palermo un quarto d’ora e lo vedrete. It took 3,000 years to build Palermo. Its completion involved many: an entire population of constructors driven by vo…
Más allá del acero: Otros metales y sus usos en la arquitectura del siglo XXI
2009
[ES] El protagonismo que ostentan los metales como compuestos básicos para el desenvolvimiento cotidiano de la vida humana resulta evidente e irrefutable. Del mismo modo que una mayoría de las actividades diarias que realizamos serían imposibles sin el apoyo que nos brinda el metal, un amplio porcentaje de la arquitectura de la última centuria también hace descansar sus fundamentos en la solidez de una estructura metálica. Más allá del hierro como predecesor y del acero como digno sucesor, la constructiva recurre asimismo con asiduidad a otros metales para conformar con ellos la imagen final del edificio, redundando en ésta componentes tanto técnicos como expresivos de los que son responsab…
Trasporti, cultura, architettura: presentazione del numero 38 di T&C a Palermo
2015
L'articolo fornisce un contributo al chiarimento del rapporto che il progetto dell’edificio di infrastruttura ha oggi con la città contemporanea e, al tempo stesso, con le questioni disciplinari in cui si inquadra. Contribuendo alla sintesi di conoscenze e orizzonti progettuali a lungo ritenuti incompatibili, il nuovo intenso scambio fra le infrastrutture dei trasporti e l'architettura degli edifici e della città segna il periodo contemporaneo. The article adresses the relationship between infrastructural buildings and architectural design in contemporary urban setting, moreover looking at the disciplinary realignement in which this relaionship is framed. Contributing to the synthesis of kn…

2015
Proponiamo una nuova lettura di uno dei momenti più alti dell’architettura contemporanea in Sicilia attraverso la presentazione del ricco contributo offerto da Pasquale Culotta e Giuseppe Leone, scegliendo, tra i tanti, il tema forse più caro alla loro maniera di lavorare: l’abitare in relazione ai luoghi We propose a fresh reading of one of the paramount moments of contemporary architecture in Sicily through the presentation of the rich contribution offered by Pasquale Culotta and Giuseppe Leone, selecting from many themes the one that they perhaps cherished most in their work: living in association with the location
Architetture essenziali nella Valle dei Templi di Agrigento
2021
Small architectures can help to reinstate a daily use of the archaeological park, no longer considered as a specialised fence. The projects feed on iconographic memories that indicate where and how to look at. The comparison between the historical views and the current state shows some changes. Today the contemporary city surrounds the temples, arising among billboards, behind traffic lights. Unlike the postcards' logic where the ruins appear isolated, in the wake of a generic polemic against the recent transformations, the article aims to focus on a new aesthetic where contemporary architecture narrates a dialogue between different parts, offering new paths of approach to the ruins.
