The Influence of the Lotus Flower Theme on the Perception of Contemporary Urban Architecture
2021
We live in the visual culture times, when images continuously and daily are transferring some information. A visual message is also an indispensable element of architecture, in the semantic layer as an aesthetic value, sometimes fulfilling a narrative function by means of a symbol, which is an international visual code. Most of the symbols, hidden in painting, sculpture, or architecture, are elements of nature. The article discusses examples of architecture whose form is based on a lotus flower. Unification of urban landscapes leads to a decrease in the value of aesthetic impressions; therefore, the unique architecture builds the unique identity of the place.
Crónica de una pandemia: confinamiento en Castelló de la Plana, España
2021
Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación comenzada a raíz de la declaración del estado de alarma en España (Real Decreto [RD] No. 463/2020, de 14 de marzo) después que la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declarase la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) como pandemia el día 11 de marzo de 2020.

Todo ello supuso un cambioen las rutinas d…
La sociedad y el espacio público
2019
El espacio público y los actos de la propia sociedad, ¿hasta dónde llega el límite de unos para que comience el derecho de los otros? Son muchas las actuaciones que se suceden en la vía pública y que tienen una repercusión, en la mayoría de los casos, negativa para el paisaje urbano. En esta fina línea, entre la preservación del paisaje urbano y los derechos que la ley confiere a los ciudadanos, se enmarcan las ordenanzas de convivencia ciudadana como el mecanismo adecuado que normativice las conductas que inciden en el espacio público. Se juzga imprescindible analizar las normas de convivencia que presiden nuestro país, a fin de dar con soluciones ecuánimes que garanticen la viabilidad de …
Análisis y tipología de brechas viarias dentro del palimpsesto urbano de València
2020
espanolEl palimpsesto urbano es el resultado de la superposicion y yuxtaposicion diacronica de una serie de modelos de desarrollo urbano que han determinado, en mayor o menor medida, la trama viaria actual. Resultado de esta dinamica, la trama urbana de muchas ciudades presenta una serie de brechas viarias singulares –por sus formas sinuosas, transversales u oblicuas– que dan caracter e identidad al paisaje urbano. En este articulo se analizan –mediante SIG y revision bibliografica– las brechas viarias del palimpsesto urbano, tomando como paradigma el plano de la ciudad de Valencia. Se lleva a cabo tambien una original categorizacion de las brechas viarias de acuerdo a una taxonomia derivad…
Amman. Il progetto di architettura tra modernità e tradizione
2019
Amman è luogo denso di storia e avido di modernità, confine entropico di culture in cui giordani, iracheni, palestinesi, siriani, insieme esprimono l’anima composita della città. L’odierna struttura insediativa è il frutto dell’espansione realizzata sui resti della Philadelphia romana dall’emiro Abdullah intorno al 1921. In quest’area l’Abdali Urban Regeneretion Project, una grande scommessa di trasformazione urbana avviata sin dal 2013, prevede la costruzione di grattacieli, edifici multifunzionali e commerciali, parchi, con interventi pubblici e privati. Qui, sono sorte negli ultimi anni due importanti architetture: l’Al-Hussein Cultural Center e la Greater Amman Municipality. Proprio in …
The urban being between environment and landscape. On the old town as an emerging subject
2018
The landscape units of the Sicilian mountainous inland, as for the case of Petralia Soprana, are marked by the presence of ancient urban centres controlling the agricultural territory, from which they derived their own wealth, and to which they conferred landscape significance. The unity between economy and landscape has been interrupted by the radical transformation of the socio-economic structure and the technologic progress, which have eroded the consistency between structures and superstructures. We propose an assessment approach based on a synthesis of semiotic and phenomenological view. The approach mainly focuses on the basic concepts and contents of the valuation process that can be…

The Promise and Perils of Urban Land Restitution in Latvia
2021
ABSTRACT∞ In this article we address the transitional justice policy of restitution in kind with a case study of urban land reform in Latvia. Contributing to scholarship on the challenge of property reforms after generations of dispossession, we examine the economic, social and political meanings of property restitution in this post-Soviet context. Using process-tracing techniques to examine the creation and implementation of Latvia’s policy in the aftermath of independence from the Soviet Union, we illustrate specific challenges of restitution in kind where property changed through the construction of new buildings occupied by tenants. Financial disputes between landowners and tenants map …

Geomorphological map of urban area of Palermo (Italy)
2018
The results of a geomorphological survey carried out in the urban area of Palermo are described. The study area is located in the northern margin of Western Sicily and is part of the SE-verging Alpine orogenic belt (Catalano et al., 2013). An E-W mountain range (Sicilian Apennines) is the topographical expression of this belt (Di Maggio et al., 2017). In the Palermo area, the physical continuity of the mountain range is broken by a large topographically-depressed coastal area. This area is set on a half-graben and is characterized by a plain (Conca d’Oro plain), opened to sea and surrounded by wide scarps hundreds of meters tall to the inland. The wide and tall scarps are abandoned coastal …
