Villa Colli by Giuseppe Pogatschnig Pagano and Gino Levi-Montalcini: some graphic reflections
2019
Villa Colli è una delle testimonianze più vivide della collaborazione professionale di due protagonisti dell’architettura del primo novecento italiano, come Giuseppe Pagano e Gino Levi-Montalcini. Costruita nelle campagne appena fuori Rivara, in Provincia di Torino, alla fine degli anni ’20, presenta caratteri di unicità finora non particolarmente esplorati dalla critica storiografica. Con questa ricerca si tenta di colmare tale vuoto, usando una metodologia che vede l’applicazione degli strumenti classici della Scienza della Rappresentazione, ossia disegno, rilievo, modellazione tridimensionale digitale e analisi grafica, qui adoperati come dispositivi di indagine e decodifica dello spazio…
Drawing and Project at the VChUTEMAS. Graphic Interpretations
2019
The article deals with the graphic study of the project for the Kominern Palace designed in 1929 by Lidija Komarova, one of the students of the Russian Laboratories known by the acronym VChUTEMAS, founded in 1920 in Moscow. Strongly characterized by the revolutionary atmosphere that was delineating the artistic progress based on the synthesis of all the plastic arts, the Russian Laboratories attributed to the architecture a position of the first order, a perfect association between the scientific possibility and the art technique. The redrawing of this project allows to deepen the compositional principles of the new architectural formation of the Eastern European avant-garde, providing digi…
Reading the Transformations of an Urban Edge: From Liberty Era Palermo to the City of Today
2019
To honour the battle of 27 May 1860, in 1910 the Palermo City Government decided to realise a commemorative monument. A position at the centre of a large circular plaza was of have afforded the monument a greater solemnity. The commission for the Monument was awarded to Ernesto Basile. In 1927 the City Government decided to dedicate the monument to the Fallen and asked Basile to complete the monument adding an architectural backdrop. The first version of the new project was a fence that enveloped the entire square and the ring road, interrupted only by entrances near the streets flowing into the square, and dividing it into four sectors. The final design instead called for the realisation o…
Virtual tour through the towers of the defensive system in the province of Salerno
2019
The coastal towers of the defensive system in the province of Salerno are architectures developed over time; they are buildings belonging to an extended strategic plan of the coastal territory useful to defend populations and cities from the ancient enemy attacks. Hence, their location comes from careful studies in which the orographic characteristics of the place and the visual connection between a tower and another played a fundamental role.The aim of this work is to focus the attention on the visual communication between the towers, or on the “dialogue” that the different artefacts entertain each other. In order to pursue this objective, a virtual tour that connects the different ancient…
Digital Vitruvius, or an elogy of the equilateral triangle
2012
On interpretation of an architectural project, triangle’s form generally refers both to plans of organic architecture and to fronts of Romanesque and Gothic churches. This wonderful form, that contains God’s eye, is, according to Vitruvius, the geometric generative principle of the Roman Theatre. Everybody knows that De Architectura arrived to us without images; in the past there were innumerable interpretations, from editio princeps (1486). A digital transcriptions, that follows side by side a Vitruvius’ book’s translation, highlights the compositional process that defines that the equilateral triangle is the geometric element that give origin to the composition of theatre.
IDENTIFYING STUDENTS’ WAYS OF LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL
2019
The Mathematics study course is one of the core subjects in study programs of Technical Universities. To acquire this course successfully it is necessary to have mathematics background of sufficiently high quality. The authors of this paper recognize the difficulties first year students face due of their insufficient mathematical knowledge.Today, universities emphasize independent study work by students and allocate special time slots for this. To be successful, students need to plan their study time, use appropriate learning methods, and have motivation. Because of the significance of students’ individual work, a questionnaire was developed to research how students plan their time and acti…
Una rappresentazione dell'architettura stratificata
2009
<p>La representación de una construcción y su restitución gráfica, es un código que permite conocer todas las informaciones que el edifico puede ofrecer.</p><p>En la época del levantamiento “no selectivo” por el escáner- laser, creemos que existe la posibilidad de considerar la tarea del levantamiento de planos, no solo como la organización de trabajos prácticos, si no como una filosofía metodológica.</p>
A tabu search algorithm for the bipartite drawing problem
1998
Graphs are used to represent reality in several areas of knowledge. This has generated considerable interest in graph drawing algorithms. Arc crossing minimization is a fundamental aesthetic criterion to obtain a readable map of a graph. The problem of minimizing the number of arc crossings in a bipartite graph (BDP) is NP-complete. In this paper we present a Tabu Search (TS) scheme for the BDP. Several algorithms can be obtained with this scheme by implementing different evaluators in the move definitions. In this paper we propose two variants. Computational results are reported on a set of 300 randomly generated test problems. The two algorithms have been compared with the best heuristics…
Variable Neighborhood Search for the Vertex Separation Problem
2012
The vertex separation problem belongs to a family of optimization problems in which the objective is to nd the best separator of vertices or edges in a generic graph. This optimization problem is strongly related to other well-known graph problems; such as the Path-Width, the Node Search Number or the Interval Thickness, among others. All of these optimization problems are NP-hard and have practical applications in VLSI, computer language compiler design or graph drawing. Up to know, they have been generally tackled with exact approaches, presenting polynomial-time algorithms to obtain the optimal solution for speci c types of graphs. However, in spite of their practical applications, these…
REALIZATION OF INTEGRATED LEARNING IN STUDY PRACTICE: PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS EXPERIENCES
2018
The integrated teaching is important tool for promoting the development of students’ critical and creative thinking, self-cognition, learning and cooperation skills and cultural understanding in a constantly changing world. In Latvia, integrated curriculum has become a challenge for educational reforms, too. Latvian teacher educators are looking for appropriate Curriculum content and strategies, in order to promote pre-service teachers with understanding of integrated learning, courage and ability to implement them in professional activities. The aim of an article is analyze possibilities how to improve the pre-service teachers’ readiness to plan integrated lessons for study practice. Metho…
