A numerical model for pre-monitoring design of historical colonnade courtyards: The case study of chiaramonte palace in palermo
2016
This paper proposes a numerical model that can be used for theoretical and experimental dynamic characterization of historical colonnade courtyards. Such an architectural element appears often in buildings of historical heritage and, especially under seismic excitation, it represents the most vulnerable structural part. Therefore, it is very important to have reliable as well as simple models available for vulnerability analysis, to evaluate different reinforcing systems if needed, or to plan dynamic characterization tests or monitoring campaigns, as in the present case. Chiaramonte Palace, a wonderful example of the historical heritage of Palermo, is investigated as case study. Firstly, a …
The Arch as a Composition Element of the Patio in Xativa. XIV-XVIII Centuries
2021
The Arch as a Composition Element of the Patio in Xativa. XIV-XVIII Centuries In the Mediterranean architectural tradition, the patio/courtyard is a “vertebral” space within the configuration of the house. It gives rise to a common typology in the former territories of the Crown of Aragon and other regions bathed by the Mare Nostrum, thus demonstrating the existence of an exchange of knowledge and culture from ancient times. In the particular case of the extinct kingdom of Valencia, as a result of the Christian conquest of the 13th century, this type began to develop, evolving over the years in terms of aesthetics, but not from the point of view of function. In this process of evolution a c…

Il primo concorso per il Palazzo di Giustizia a Roma del 1884. Ricostruzione critica del progetto di Ernesto Basile
2019
1. Breve descrizione dell’oggetto di studio Il concorso del Palazzo di Giustizia di Roma si svolge in quattro fasi svolte tra il 1884 e il 1887. Il progetto per il primo concorso, del 1884, redatto dall’allora giovanissimo Ernesto Basile (Palermo 1857-1932), rivela una grande perizia progettuale che trasforma il complesso programma funzionale in un austero edificio in stile neofiorentino. I disegni originari dell’opera, non realizzata, conservati presso la Dotazione Basile del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo, sono stati oggetto di studio propedeutico alle fasi di analisi, interpretazione e ricostruzione congetturale del modello digitale. 2. Stato dell’arte e riferime…
