Tissage et métissage. Le textile dans l’art (XIXe-XXe siècles)
2011
International audience; Après avoir été longtemps limité aux productions artisanales et décoratives, le textile intègre les Beaux-Arts, occupant sur la scène contemporaine une place qui ne cesse de s'agrandir. Ce recueil offre un regard sur l'histoire de l'art textile depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Il se penche sur les multiples pratiques élaborées par les artistes et sur les questions qu'ils ont soulevées aux différents moments de l'histoire artistique, pour s'émanciper des catégories et tenter d'agir sur le monde, sur la conscience que nous en avons.

Multi-scale modelling of heterogeneous shell structures
2011
International audience; This paper reviews multi-scale computational homogenisation frameworks for the non-linear behaviour of heterogeneous thin planar shells. Based on a review of some of the currently available methods, a computational homogenisation scheme for shells is applied on to representative volume elements for plain weave composites. The effect of flexural loading on the potential failure modes of such materials is analysed, focusing on the reinforcement-matrix delamination mechanism. The attention is next shifted toward failure localisation in masonry unit cells. Subsequently, a recently developed computational FE2 solution scheme accounting for damage localisation at structura…
Universities’ “Third” Mission, Industrial Conversion and the Quest for Surgical Masks: A Sicilian Tale from the First COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
This contribution is a brief testimony of a “third mission” project conducted in collaboration by two university departments that, despite the operational difficulties, and thanks to institutional support, have promoted an initiative aimed at the productive reconversion of a clothing sector company into a health sector company. The project highlights the benefits of integrating different areas of scientific expertise and highlights the role of full involvement and co-creation of a new production unit. Moreover, it is an example of the role that the university can play in a complex operational context in support of a constructive relationship between public and private actors for the develop…
Rigenerazione dell’area dell’ex fabbrica tessile Gulì a Palermo
2018
L’attività industriale palermitana, pur avendo vissuto un periodo fiorente piuttosto breve, ha lasciato tracce ben riconoscibili e identificabili all’interno del tessuto urbano, con manufatti architettonici di notevole importanza per qualità di progetto e dimensioni. L’ex fabbrica tessile Gulì è un complesso interessante sia dal punto di vista architettonico sia per la sua localizzazione urbanistica, molto prossima a poli di rilevante interesse culturale. Lo studio, condotto presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Ateneo di Palermo, propone un intervento di rigenerazione che coinvolge non solo i manufatti edilizi presenti ma l’intera area e la sua trasformazione in un nuovo centro di qu…
Applying Axial Symmetries to Historical Silk Fabrics: SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom
2020
Symmetry is part of textile art in patterns and motifs that decorate fabrics, which are made by the interlacement of warp and wefts. Moreover, the 3D representation of fabrics have already been studied by some authors
