Coesione, trasformazione e riuso creativo dello spazio abitativo: un caso di studio sostenibile nel territorio siciliano
2015
Cohesion, reuse and transformation are key concepts of the project of sustainable regeneration of the built environment. They are also essential for the development and control of territory. In a perspective of sustainable regeneration also the transformation and reuse "creative" of depressed urban areas and abandoned buildings, are crucial for the protection of the environment and against the land consumption. For many years the sustainable regeneration is a key concept of Community policies: "It is imperative to reuse urban areas unused, derelict or contaminated. Today these urban areas are in excess of any other period of the industrial urban history. The reuse of land and abandoned buil…
PATRIMONIO CULTURALE E MARGINALITÀ. LA PANDEMIA DELLA SOLITUDINE. QUALE RIGENERAZIONE?
2021
We start from the assumption that culture is what man assimilates, modifies and transforms, to which he contributes with his work, adding to and preserving the historical heritage. The sum of heritage diversities and values gives cultural uniqueness to the coexistence of the communities that make up each territory. Our main task, the task of each one of us who with an educated eye understands the meaning and value of heritage, must be directed towards committing ourselves not only to be actors in the present historical moment in which such testimonies survive, but to be authors of practices of preservation and enhancement. We cannot learn culture just by looking at its symbols, but by livin…
Design of the EU-1MW gyrotron for ITER
2013
EU is developing a 1 MW cylindrical cavity gyrotron. In the last year the design of the components of the new gyrotron has been finalized while the technological design of the new tube has been defined. In the present paper, the main characteristics of the new EU gyrotron for ITER are presented.
PRINCIPI CONCETTI E METODOLOGIE DELLA RIGENERAZIONE RESILIENTE
2021
The idea of regeneration is the one that best adheres to an inclusive practice of architecture, capable of accepting the continuous change, made of adaptations and contradictions of the built environment we have been given, and of processing its inputs. We can certainly start from an established awareness, that the success of regeneration projects is strongly related to the ability to govern the processes of which they are part. These concepts and actions are at the basis of every regeneration intervention and of the urban transformation modalities that it brings to the built environment, including the new complex elements of the socio-economic processes taking place in the contemporary wor…
Theoretical and Experimental Model for the Analysis of a Cardan Cross
2015
The work presents the aproach of initial moddeling and calculus in order to prepare an finite element investigation of the cardan transmission joint. For this, it is necessary to develop a flexible informational system that would connect the constructive design of cardan transmissions to the technological design within a unitary structure. Due to the typodimensional diversity of cardan transmissions, the design and manufacturing of the various components for a certain application domain (medical aparature, dental and agricultural machines, lifting and transportation machines etc.) has been typified. In order to study the problems that occur in the practice of using cardan transmissions, the…
RIGENERAZIONE URBANA E PATRIMONIO IMMOBILIARE PUBBLICO
2021
Rehabilitation and/or redevelopment of the built heritage is a strategy for urban and territorial balance. The rehabilitation project is mainly addressed to the adaptation of new housing and urban needs, but it is obviously conditioned and/or "constrained" by the limitation of the building itself, in particular when its intrinsic characteristics must be preserved. The concept of "restriction" extends to its relationship with the site, the quality of its image, its living conditions. In this paper we focus on some aspects of the general framework of urban regeneration: the balance on the "urban question" and on the methodology of integrated planning; the connection between quality and urban …
PROGETTARE LA PARTECIPAZIONE. PRINCIPI E METODI FRA TRADIZIONE E CONTEMPORANEITÀ
2021
The theme of participation is urgent and timely, also in view of the inclusive forms of decisionmaking introduced years ago by ministerial and European norms. The research is therefore part of a well-structured cultural and regulatory context characterised by new and interesting experiments. Participation in the field of the disciplines of architecture and technological culture should be studied in its processual forms and directed above all towards strategies of recovery of the existing where the presence of urban and environmental conflicts requires new processes of requalification and/or reintegration. As widely testified by the production of manuals in recent years, carrying out partici…
Il tempo sospeso del processo interrotto: oltre la rimozione, un futuro per l’incompiuto
2020
Gli esiti di processi edilizi interrotti sono ascrivibili a una categoria di ambiente costruito anomala, che offre un banco di prova importante per la progettazione tecnologica dell’architettura. Infatti, il finalismo incentrato sul conseguimento di obiettivi e la visione lineare del tempo entrano in crisi a fronte di costruzioni il cui ciclo di vita non ha mai preso avvio, irriducibilmente estranee al presente e il cui futuro è controverso. Il fenomeno bipolare dell’incompiuto offre il quadro a interpretazioni dei suoi legami con la variabile tempo, intesa come fattore di trasformazione e perno del progetto architettonico. Considerandone la diffusione e l’evoluzione, si può delineare per l…
TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD
2018
The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…
PRINCIPLES OF RESILIENCE AND REGENERATIVE DESIGN IN COASTAL ENVIRONMENT
2020
The paper explains critically principles, methodological approaches and strategic project actions for a greater resilience of the built environment. In particular, the concept of resilience is explored in relation to sustainability and Regenerative Design applied to the built environment. The theme of Regenerative Design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy in the planning phase, requires, compared to Resilience’s theme, that nature strengthens its capacity for self-healing and its integrity, trying to give us back what the industrial development has taken away from the natural system, through the use of integrated regenerative methodologies. We examine in depth the case study of…
