2017
Los decires narrativos de don Íñigo López de Mendoza representan una de las muestras más sobresalientes de la aclimatación de la ficción alegórica en la literatura medieval hispánica. Uno de los procedimientos centrales en el proceso de composición de estas obras se basa en la selección de recursos estilísticos orientados a recrear una atmósfera de irrealidad. Partiendo, pues, de esta premisa, el objetivo de este estudio se centra en detectar tales elecciones estilísticas e interpretarlas con las herramientas y conocimientos que nos brinda la Filología. De entre el conjunto de recursos expresivos de que dispone la lengua castellana medieval, nos centraremos de modo especial en tres fenómeno…

La piazza, la strada, l’edificio, Progetti che raccontano l’esistente
2017
I centri storici fanno spesso leggere una stretta connessione tra le parti e il tutto, tra le singole architetture e l’intero organismo urbano, tanto che i rapporti spaziali che regolano i singoli elementi si riscontrano nella stessa configurazione della città: nella organizzazione degli luoghi aperti e nello stesso sistema distributivo delle unità abitative, per cui tutto è regolato dalla morfologia strutturata del paesaggio urbano. Il progetto, allora, impone una capacità di lettura del sistema e delle relazioni, considerato che pure un frammento ha il potere di svelare le ragioni costitutive di un sistema spaziale molto più complesso. Il progetto del nuovo trova le sue ragioni nella comp…
