2008
La commedia analoga
2018
Tavola di interpretazione architettonica della Divina Commedia. Su invito di Luca Molinari 70 architetti italiani hanno dato una loro libera interpretazione dell'enigma spaziale prefigurato da Dante. Le tavole sono oggetto di una mostra tenuta allo Spazio FMG di Milano, alla Reggia di Caserta ed a Foligno. Architectural interpretation of the Divina Commedia - exhibition in Caserta and Foligno - with catalog
An Application of Analytic Network Process in the Planning Process: The Case of an Urban Transformation in Palermo (Italy)
2014
The primary objective of this study is to test the multicriteria analysis application in favor of a selection process among alternative transformations of an urban area in the city of Palermo. The choice is referred to as a strategyoriented one aiming to create “new urban centralities” able to redraw all urban structures that start to activate renewal processes within the existing city. The application of multicriteria analysis technique, such as the Analytic Network Process (ANP) - BOCR model, is due to the need to represent the complexity of the decision problem characterized by interrelations among several elements described by many indicators from different levels. The case study is als…
A Paradigm Interpreting the City and the Analytic Network Process for the Management of Urban Transformations
2018
When urban and environmental transformations occur in areas where the equilibrium between nature and culture is complex and fragile, public ad-ministrations could decide to induce private investments using several tools, such as financial contributions to those projects of refurbishment that better re-spect the purpose of improving the environmental quality and of preserving the local architecture. Multicriteria models may support public decision process re-garding this issue, but it is essential to adopt a scientific paradigm that provides a major theoretical reference. This study proposes the development of a net-work model based on the scientific paradigm by Rizzo and the Analytic Net-wo…
«L’antico come principio di nuova architettura». Il tempo perenne delle opere e dei progetti
2022
Nonostante la raccolta degli scritti e dei progetti di Angelo Torricelli copra un arco temporale di oltre trent’anni (dal 1990 al 2021) essa costituisce una straordinaria narrazione coerente e coesa nella quale si ha chiara la sensazione di come l’oggetto della riflessione sia la connaturata dimensione sincronica dell’architettura tesa a essere, inevitabilmente, espressione di valori atemporali. Non a caso i titoli dei testi di Torricelli, ad iniziare da ciò che ne costituisce la sintesi suprema, l’espressione metonimica per eccellenza — "Il momento presente del passato" — tendono ad essere quasi dei voluti emblematici ossimori. Nella lettura interpretativa dell’antico in architettura propo…
Angiolo Mazzoni
2015
Engineer and Architect, Mazzoni is famous for his numerous projects and completed works, mainly comprising public buildings, train stations and post offices. In 1919 he obtained a degree in engineering at the Scuola di Applicazione per Ingegneri, where he studied under G. Giovannoni, G.B. Milani, and V. Fasolo. Subsequently he attended Bologna’s Accademia di Belle Arti, where he obtained a degree in architecture in 1923 As most of his work presents a wide use of experimentation and different styles, it is hard to find a common denominator. Moreover, during his training he was also influenced by the monumental and traditional styles typical of Piacentini, whose studio Mazzoni frequented for …
Augmented Cities in the Neoanthropocene
2021
Contemporary cities could be considered vibrant organisms of places and communities, of data and information, of sensors and actuators, and of actions and reactions generated by people and environment both. Cities must be more responsive to our behavioral changes, enabling devices for enhancing our contemporary life. We would be able to build amore efficient urban environment, able to sense, to understand and to act every day and for everyone. In the post-city age and beyond the smart city, Augmented City is a new paradigm that perceives the demands of more networked, knowledge-based, and creative society that answers to the global change by a new circular metabolism. The Augmented City is …
Urban Circular Metabolism as a Generator of Value and Resilient Communities. Creative Recycling of Industrial Architecture: The Case of Nordkraft (Aa…
2022
Aalborg has modified its urban metabolism to overcome the economic-industrial crisis and tackle climate change. The city, however, has not changed its DNA. Without distorting its identity as an industrial city, it has been able to respond to new and unpredictable needs through a process of architectural and urban exaptation. Nordktraft is a significant part of this regeneration process based on sustainability, both from an environmental and socio-cultural point of view, with a vision that is particularly focused on physical health and the growth of the relational life of the population. The vision that inspired the Nordkraft project is that diversity is the most powerful factor fueling resi…
Nella città proibita. Conoscibilità, accessibilità e progetto come condizioni per la valorizzazione e il riuso del patrimonio fragile dei beni confis…
2022
In relazione ad una ricerca internazionale volta ad indagare modi di costituzione e di crisi del Pubblico, inteso come insieme di edifici, spazi pubblici, funzioni, processi e pratiche, l’articolo discute la fragilità e la marginalità intrinseche e di fruizione del patrimonio dei beni confiscati, inteso come terzo patrimonio, riconducendole alle sue conoscibilità e accessibilità. Facendo riferimento al territorio comunale di Palermo, la città europea con il più alto numero di beni confiscati alla criminalità mafiosa, l’articolo argomenterà dapprima in termini generali il rapporto fra la frammentazione e l’inadeguatezza dei processi di inventario e la sostanziale inconsapevolezza che consegu…
Antoine Picon: Digital Culture in Architecture
2012
Today’s explosive developments in digital technology have also affected architecture and the urban landscape. The new possibilities opened up by digital simulation have led to an increasingly strategic approach to planning, an approach based on generating scenarios, which thus represents a radical departure from traditional planning. This volume provides a profound introduction to the important role of digital technologies in design and execution. In four chapters, the author systematically examines the influence of digital culture on architecture but also on the urban landscape as well as product design. The relationship of digital architecture to the city is also an important focus.
