Lezioni di Piano. Il racconto di un’esperienza con le scuole di Palermo
2022
The new Sicilian regional law on territorial government introduces a number of novelties in the urban planning debate of recent years. It places 'participation' among the fundamental principles underlying Sicily's spatial planning activities. The Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo has gained an extensive experience in the field of participatory practices, and to maintain this inclination it decided to create a memorandum of understanding with the City of Palermo. The first project activity that the protocol has produced is the "Lessons in Planning" project, which aims to promote the culture of urban planning with students of first and second-grade secondary schools of P…

Towards a Smart Campus Through Participatory Sensing
2018
In recent years, the percentage of the population owning a smartphone has increased significantly. These devices provide users with more and more functions that make them real sensing platforms. Exploiting the capabilities offered by smartphones, users can collect data from the surrounding environment and share them with other entities in the network thanks to existing communication infrastructures, i.e., 3G/4G/5G or WiFi. In this work, we present a system based on participatory sensing paradigm using smartphones to collect and share local data in order to monitor make a campus 'smart'. In particular, our system infers the activities performed by users (e.g., students) in a campus in order …

Carceral Aesthetics. Art and Everyday Life in Prison
2021
The paper aims to focus on everyday life in prison following a double perspective, a historical and a contemporary one. First, the historical phenomenon of prison graffiti will be investigated in connection with one case study: the graffiti in the prisons of the Holy Office in Palermo. Subsequently, the effect of making art in today’s prisons both on space and on inmate life will be taken into account. The overall aim of this twofold reading is to show to what extent making art in prison can be seen as a strategy of activation of those relational and familiarizing processes which bestow an aesthetic value on everyday life.
Anecdote-Spin-Instructional-Design
2015
Instructional Design is a wonderful tool in the hands of any Instructor, be a class teacher or a lecturer, or a professor. Having an Instructional design and knowing how to use it will make one an effective instructor (Bandura 1997). The design could be in the form of a method or a paradigm, or any cognitive frame work (Elliot and McGregor 2001; Cury et al., 2006). Each design could have its own logic, for example Clarke, Ayres, and Sweller (2005) used spreadsheet application as instructional design to teach students mathematical concepts and procedures (Ambrose et al., 2010). Here we propose a design namely Anecdote-Spin-Instructional-Design. People of every age, be it young or old or midd…
