MASS-PRODUCED ELEMENT IN STRUCTURAL GLASS: “ARTIFICIAL VINEYARD”
2014
The aim is to design an architectural element flexible and easily adaptable to different urban situations using a material such as glass that, for the last years, is being employed as a structural element. The mass-production is rarely applied to glass construction systems that instead are usually designed case by case. The paper reports the results of a research carried out by the Dipartmento di Architettura and Dipartimento DICAM (Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Ambientale, Aerospaziale, dei Materiali), of the University of Palermo, within the project "VESTRA" (POFESR 2007/2013 - Action Line 4.1.1.1), that aims to the experimentation of mass-produced elements in structural glass. The p…
Progetti per raccontare la città
2020
Nell’ambito di una ricerca interdipartimentale il lavoro presenta l’esperienza di coordinamento di una attività progettuale condotta con giovani laureati nel centro storico di Caltabellotta, i cui lavori si offrono come occasione per aiutare la città a precisare intenzioni e atteggiamenti, riflessioni e azioni per innescare processi reali di rigenerazione. Un testo iniziale precisa e racconta le finalità del coordinamento.
Giuseppe Samonà e la “spina dorsale” di Gibellina Nuova
2020
Nel 1970 Giuseppe Samonà coordina il gruppo di progettazione formato da Vittorio Gregotti, Gianni Pirrone e Alberto Samonà per il Progetto del Centro civico, commerciale e culturale di Gibellina Nuova. Del piano è realizzato il municipio e poi, rielaborato e in altro luogo, il teatro. I monumenti, fondati su un asse pedonale in quota connesso a un suolo artificiale articolato, esprimono l’unità architettura – urbanistica e anticipano, per certi versi, una riflessione successiva del Direttore dello IUAV sulla dialettica fra urbano e rurale.
Le paysage durable de l’événement. L’héritage de Expo 2008 Saragosse
2011
Les villes fluviales, aujourd’hui confrontées à la rénovation des berges et des espaces attenants, ont pris conscience de leur intérêt à tirer parti de cet élément naturel, constitutif de leur territoire, participant de leur identité mais aussi vecteur de développement. Cette nouvelle sensibilité vers un environnement de qualité s’appuie aux notions d’écologie et de développement durable qui accompagnent la plupart des projets autour du fleuve. Cohérente avec l’importance actuelle concédée à l’impact et à l’héritage urbain de l’événement, apprenant de l’expérience récente d’autres événements, Saragosse a réalisée une Expo dont la principale vertu réside dans son échelle, dans son dialogue a…

Dynamic Lighting Strategies with Load Modulation Purposes to Reduce Peak Electrical Demand
2018
This paper proposes a study about the feasibility to modulate the indoor artificial lighting, taking into account both achievable energy savings and comfort conditions, in order to reduce lighting electric loads. In particular, it focuses on the possibility, on one hand, to decrease the luminous flux and, on the other hand, to change the Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT), in order to decrease the absorbed power. Moreover, the impact of daylight-linked control systems was considered. Finally, the possibility to combine the different technical solutions was analysed. The paper proposes the definition of daily scheduling referred to lighting energy management, in order to modulate the maximu…

Towards Positive Energy Districts: Energy Renovation of a Mediterranean District and Activation of Energy Flexibility
2023
The paper presents the analysis of energy retrofitting, integration of renewable energy and activation of energy flexibility in a cluster of buildings in the surroundings of a port on the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Italy, with the aim of checking the potential for it to achieve the status of positive energy district (PED). The objective of this study is to improve the contemporaneity between local energy generation and energy demand and reduce CO2eq emissions by considering signals that reflect the environmental variability of the electricity grid, through flexibility solutions applied to the HVAC system. The proposed scenarios are based on the dynamic simulation of the district and anal…

On the Use of Two Emerging Laser-Based Flaw-Detection Techniques – Considerations and Practicalities
2023
The pursuit of non-contact techniques for detecting ultrasonic waves propagating on the surface of solids is stimulated by the possibility of gaining some advantages over conventional contact methods. Non-contact methods are becoming a milestone in performing non-destructive evaluation in several industrial fields, where hazardous environments, narrow spaces, high temperatures, and complex geometries are encountered. Such methods exploit photo-acoustic interactions between light and sound waves. This work compares two non-contact laser-based methods for detecting artificial flaws of different sizes in metallic specimens. It uses multi-signal homodyne interferometry and single beam deflectom…
