Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of protected crops: an Italian case study
2012
Abstract In this paper a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of protected crops was carried out. In particular, energy and environmental performances of peppers, melons, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini in different typologies of greenhouses (tunnel and pavilion) were assessed. The study aimed at assessing the ecoprofile of each product and the share of each life-cycle step on the total environmental impacts. The related process flow chart, the relevant mass and energy flows and the key environmental issues were identified for each product. Collection of primary data was conducted by means of a detailed questionnaire distributed to a producer company in southern Italy. The analysis was devel…
Il potere dell’architettura. L’ideologia di regime all’Esposizione Internazionale di Parigi 1937
2014
The political crackdown during the 20th Century finds in the International Events a special place for the hosting Countries to spread their ideologies to the visitors and to all the other Countries attending the event. National Pavilions become the subject of propaganda, and their architectural language became an important part of the collective identity’s reclaimed logic, even if it wasn’t always real. Paris International Exposition of 1937 is a paradigmatic case: it’s a mirror of that time and of the prewar period’s international tensions. Born under the auspices of peace, it finally results the most relevant expression of the relation between Power and Architecture.
Una scatola di luce, un gioco di sguardi
2015
Il padiglione progettato dall’architetto siciliano con la collaborazione dell’artista Erich Demetz è un vero manifesto dei principi fondativi del suo fare architettura.

Ocho notas sobre la Casa Farnsworth de Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
2020
Mies was in the top of his career when he built the Farnsworth House. The analysis of this work shows some characteristics of his architectural thought: the relationships between architecture and nature, the definition of the pavilion type, his concept of architectural space, the role of structure and limits, the idea free plan and the meaning of construction
The Geometry of a Domed Architecture: A Stately Example of Kārbandi at Bagh-e Dolat Abad in Yazd
2016
This paper analyses the kārbandi of the Hashti pavilion at Bagh-e-Dolat Abad in Yazd. Kārbandi is a spatial system obtained through the projection of a star-shaped drawing onto a curved surface. It is characterised by a complex use of geometry and repetitive symmetry. The analysis of its geometrical aspects contributes to an understanding of the traditional rules underlying the original design. The kārbandi of the octagonal vestibule of the Hashti pavilion consists of a complex roof system that completes the octagonal volume of the room below; its intrados presents a pattern of interlocking ribbed arches. The paper also looks at the drawings, module and proportions of the Hashti pavilion, w…
An inhabited bridge between city and countryside
2015
With its propagation beyond the ancient walls in the countryside, the contemporary urban pattern of Piacenza flakes off, is frayed, making feeble the limit between rus and urbs; the continuous and porous old town gives way to the sprawl. In this project, the main idea is that, through moderate and small signs, defined by thematic pavilions (which are the general goal to achieve according to the Summer School), the effects can affect the urban scale, in a much wider field than the real area of intervention. So in this case the pavilion itself is thought as a bridge on the threshold between city and countryside. Moreover, the soil design, starting from the edges of the city, allows to fix the…
Vie périurbaine et mobilités quotidiennes, une double contrainte source de difficultés socio-économiques pour les personnes modestes et âgées
2020
Dans les territoires périurbains, la mobilité et l’automobilité sont indissociables autant qu’indispensables, tant pour les travailleurs transformés en « navetteurs » que pour des populations vieillissantes qui risquent l’isolement et la dépendance. Pourtant, les contraintes économiques des uns et l’impossible mobilité des autres, parfois même au sein de leur logement, rendent leur situation très complexe et les mènent vers une vulnérabilité certaine. À partir de sources et matériaux qualitatifs, ces éléments seront présentés et discutés à travers l’examen, dans de multiples espaces périurbains bourguignons, de la situation de pavillonnaires modestes puis de personnes âgées de moins en moin…
