Re-drawing of vanished space: Casa Giobbe della Bitta by Marcello Piacentini
2020
Ha ancora un senso oggi, nel tempo dominato dall’immagine e dal suo potere, interrogarsi sulle ragioni e sulle potenzialità del Disegno di Architettura? Potremmo sfruttare, invece, questa forza immateriale che pervade la nostra era contro il modus operandi della tabula rasa che interessa il patrimonio del moderno in Italia? Un tentativo di risposta a queste domande potrebbe giungere dallo studio di un’opera non più esistente di Marcello Piacentini, Casa Giobbe della Bitta, del 1925. A partire dal ridisegno critico dell’edificio, si vuol tentare una decodifica dell’architettura svanita, analizzandone forme e matrici geometriche che l’hanno generata; la modellazione tridimensionale digitale, …
Images of the imagined city
2018
The essay investigates one of the projects in the competition for the expansion of the North area of Palermo named ZEN 2 and designed by the architects Pasquale Culotta, Giuseppe Laudicina, Teresa Cannarozzo, Anna Maria Fundarò and Tilde Marra, in 1970. The essay aims at illustrating the spatial, figurative and urban qualities of it. The analysis of the project has been guided by a written text and the graphic support, that is the project report and the attached drawings, in Indian Ink, made by the architects themselves, indeed very often fragmented and difficult to be interpreted. In this regard, the support of digital drawing in two-dimensional and three-dimensional form, based on the cre…
Alphabet as a pretext. Representation and architecture starting from J.D. Steingruber
2020
Johann David Steingruber (1702-87) realizzò nel 1773 l’ “Alfabeto Architettonico” (titolo originale “Architektonisches Alphabeth bestehend aus 30 Rissen”),ovvero un compendio di edifici immaginari le cui piante presentano la forma delle lettere dell’alfabeto. A partire dall’analisi delle tavole, obiettivo del contributo è presentare una riflessione su questi disegni, sia in relazione alle intrinseche caratteristiche storiche ed estetiche, sia in relazione alla personalità dello Steingruber. Johann David Steingruber (1702-87) realized in 1773 the “Architectural Alphabet” (original title “Architektonisches Alphabeth bestehend aus 30 Rissen”), that is a compendium of imaginary buildings with p…
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…
