NATURALLY AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS FOR BUILDING NEW METABOLIC TERRITORIES
2021
Building new metabolic territories is a proactive way of responding to the challenges and precariousness of the contemporary city. Byintegrating solutions inspired by new scientific advances in urban ecology, cities are able to address some of the environmental threats. Many European cities are implementing alternative nature-based solutions to protect their health and tackle water scarcity, land consumption and climate change, to increase citizens' well-being. Wellbeing and health (Agenda 2030) are the most important analytical parameters for measuring the results and impacts of environmental project actions. With this in mind, the study presents a "nature-action" project hypothesis for wh…

Privato versus pubblico. Il progetto per un ambito urbano più vivibile
2015
Esistono realtà urbane nel territorio del comune di Agrigento accomunate da arretratezza culturale e sociale, assenza di servizi basilari, scarsa qualità architettonica ed infrastrutturale, squilibrio tra spazio pubblico e privato. Tali ambiti, nonostante siano vivaci da un punto di vista commerciale, si possono definire come nonluoghi, con tutte le implicazioni che tale locuzione comporta. Villaggio Mosè rappresenta un caso emblematico. Da un lato il rapporto con l’esterno: il mare, le colline e la vicinanza con la Valle dei Templi, dall’altro quello con l’interno: la strada statale n.115 che costituisce l'asse portante di un ambito caratterizzato da un edificato incontrollato, spesso spon…
Salutogenic design and regeneration for building heritage
2022
The design approach used is the SPCI “Salutogenic Park City Immersive” which focuses on the renaturation of urban living environments. A strategic role is played by the use of greening and landscaping design systems that are able to absorb a significant share of the country’s climate-changing gas emissions, as already partly highlighted by the European Green Deal. In particular, the key factors and methodologies of intervention are based on the interaction between Green City Adaptive and Resilient Design, in terms of physical redevelopment, environmental remediation and energy improvement, integrated with the enhancement of existing heritage. With the SPCI we intend to experiment with inter…
