Aristocratic palaces in the XVIII century in Palermo : The construction site of Merendino-Costantino palace

2015

Palermitan XVIII-century palaces constitute a proper housing typology aimed to reach the highest standards of artistic quality and representativeness. Supported by unlimited financial resources,aristocrats commissioned to famous architects the design and the direction of their construction-sites; nevertheless, technologies were essential and often influenced by an instance of economy with the most effective exploitation of local resources. This work focuses on the constructive specificities of the Palermitan palaces, with reference to the construction history of the Merendino-Costantino Palace, one of the most representative of the historical centre. Its history defines a repertory of const…

COSTRUIRE L’AZZARDO. IL CORNICIONE NELL’ARCHITETTURA STORICA, FRA REGOLA E SPERIMENTAZIONE

2018

The book explores the historical and constructive aspects of the cornices that, from elements of protection, they can also become elements of degradation and instability due to their form. The structure of the text of this volume consists of three main parts, presenting some technical aspects and issues of uncommon attention. The first part analyzes a discussion about the formal and material values of the cornice; in fact, it presents complex characters and summarizes the problems deriving from formal and constructive requirements of the building envelope, due to the double value of ornamentation (crowning of the building) and functional component (removal system of meteoric water from the …

Sine cura. Verso il ri-ciclo dell'architettura del secondo Novecento

2019

Gli argomenti discussi nel saggio interrogano il destino che il Codice dei Beni Culturali (2004- 2011) determina per le opere del secondo Novecento. Nella costruzione del futuro di questi manufatti, che per funzione, tecnologia e cicli d’uso sono spesso segnati dall’obsolescenza e dall’abbandono, le ambiguità e le incongruenze delle attuali procedure legislative sollecitano profondamente il ruolo culturale delle esperienze di ricerca che usano metodologie meta progettuali. Il confronto fra alcuni casi italiani ed altri europei rimarca il ruolo del progetto nella costruzione di una prospettiva di tutela trasformativa per il costruito del secondo Novecento. Nel quadro di azione marcato dall’o…

Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E UrbanaThe essay questions the future's possibilities to operate on the buildings of the second half of the twentieth century according to the Italian Code of Cultural Heritage (2004-2011). When arguing how to encourage the re-use of these artifacts which are often marked by short-life technology cycles obsolescence and abandonment the ambiguities and inconsistencies of current legislative procedures deeply stress the cultural role of research experiences that use project-oriented methodologies. The comparison between some Italian and other European cases highlights the role of a design approach in the construction of a transformative protection perspective for the built matter of the second half of the twentieth century. In a framework aiming to encourage a reconciliation between the recent built environment and the new paradigms of sustainability and circular economy architecture must recognize re-cycle practices as a main theoretical and procedural node. To modernize the late Modern built environment with contemporary construction components is not simply a matter of technical knowledge and expertise: but a theme with theoretical density aesthetic and ethical values. The architectural project in this field today must ask for greater congruence between the bureaucratic and administrative levels and the real consistency of this corpus. It is a matter of identifying strategies to equip it with capabilities meanings and contents remembering that demolition wastes have unsustainable environmental costs and uncertain results concerning the necessary new attribution of political and semantic meaning that these places await.

Implementare il patrimonio archivistico: ricostruzione virtuale di una villa non realizzata di Giuseppe Samonà in Sicilia

2023

Questo saggio vuole essere una testimonianza dell’importanza culturale e cognitiva degli archivi (del progetto) intesi come patrimonio pubblico. L’azione di re-immaginarli può costituire un veicolo per la loro conoscenza? Con l’analisi di un caso-studio di un’abitazione non realizzata di un architetto del Novecento come Giuseppe Samonà si prova a verificare l’efficacia degli strumenti digitali per l’interpretazione dell’architettura come mezzi per l’implementazione comunicativa di un archivio.

Settore ICAR/17 - DisegnoThis essay is a testimony to the cultural and cognitive importance of (project) archives as public heritage. Can the action of re-imagining them be a vehicle for their knowledge? With the analysis of a case study of an unrealised house by a 20th century architect such as Giuseppe Samonà an attempt is made to verify the effectiveness of digital tools for the interpretation of architecture as a means for the communicative implementation of an archive.

Il saggio presenta l’iter metodologico utilizzato per l’analisi dello stato di conservazione e delle problematiche di accessibilità presenti nella chiesa parrocchiale di Sant’Antonio Abate di Palermo, già esistente all’inizio del sec.

Oggi esiste un elevato dislivello (creato con l’apertura della via Roma) tra il piano della via Roma e l’accesso alla chiesa. La ricerca è stata condotta all’interno del Laboratorio di restauro e Teoria e storia del restauro e ha visto protagonisti le allievi e gli allievi del corso LM4 in Architettura del Dipartimento di Palermo.
