LE OFFICINE DUCROT NELLA DOCUMENTAZIONE D’ARCHIVIO DELLE COLLEZIONI SCIENTIFICHE DE DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA DELL’UNIVERSITA’ DEGLI STUDI DI PALE…
2019
La fabbrica Ducrot svolse un ruolo di primo piano nella cultura della produzione industriale italiana e dell’area mediterranea, almeno fino alla metà del XX secolo; fu, infatti, fra i primi mobilifici in Europa a perseguire una mediazione fra profitto e ricerca artistica; l’impresa palermitana riuscì ad imporsi anche sul mercato internazionale sia con la produzione di mobili e arredi completi di qualità sia con la realizzazione di arredi e decorazioni per gli interni di grandi alberghi, sedi istituzionali, transatlantici, prestigiose residenze ed esclusivi locali pubblici. Il definitivo salto di qualità nell’organizzazione produttiva si verifica nel biennio 1902-03 anche in seguito all’assu…
Teachers’ professional agency in a centralisation-decentralisation system and a hierarchical cultural context : the case of Hong Kong
2022
Teachers are frontline actors in actualising educational innovations. In some contexts, teachers’ professional agency is undervalued. This study investigated teachers’ agency and its related workplace affordances in Hong Kong, which features a centralised-decentralisation education governance system, and a hierarchical work culture. The study was based on 21 semi-structured interviews with teachers, and employed a deductive thematic analysis. Agency enactment was categorised into 1) pedagogical agency within classrooms, and 2) relational agency in the professional community. The factors contributing to workplace affordances were grouped as pertaining to 1) the collegial community, 2) school…
Architetture del vino. Un disegno per il territorio agricolo
2008
L’attenzione verso le architetture del vino realizzate nel mondo ha sollecitato l’interesse per il paesaggio caratterizzato e disegnato dalla vigna; questo ha comportato l’attenzione per gli architetti contemporanei, capaci di esprimere un nuovo rapporto con il paesaggio. Il libro raccoglie gli esiti della ricerca e della didattica svolta in occasione di un workshop internazionale di progettazione architettonica tenutosi a Menfi (AG) nel 2005. L’obiettivo è stato quello di presentare le numerose esperienze prodotte intorno a tale tema e, nello stesso tempo, esprimere le esplorazioni progettuali sui temi della città attraverso una progettualità che aspira ad un nuovo disegno del territorio.
I vuoti: descrizione e progetti
2008
La srategia dell'intervento di riqualificazione di via della Vittoria, che attraversa tutto il centro urbano di Menfi, prevede di potenziare il ruolo degli spazi aperti, considerandoli materia di connessione tra fatti urbani diversi, sia alla scala generale urbana che a quella del tessuto della città storica. Sono stati descritti alcuni caratteri e condizioni per definire i modi di intervento: le relazioni tra spazi aperti, le possibili permeazioni, mai dirette, tra via della Vittoria e via Garibaldi (asse di fondazione della città), le unità suscettibili di trasformazione. Si sono così individuati alcuni nuclei, secondo l'intento di intervenire per punti: lungo il sistema dei muri di spina…
Los paisajes de la globalización, la elección de la ciudad-expo 2008. ¿Qué pasa con la gobernanza urbana frente a las estrategias económicas y espaci…
2005
Am 16. Dezember 2004 wählte das Bureau international des expositions (B.I.E.) Spanien und seine Kandidatenstadt, die Metropole Saragossa, als Organisationsland für die nächste internationale Ausstellung „International Exhibition of Zaragoza Spain 2008: Water and Sustainable Development“. Wir analysieren zunächst die Entwicklung "der Wege" der Kandidaturen zur Wahl der Gastgeberstadt der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008, dann greifen wir in einem zweiten Mal den gesamten Vorgang der Ausarbeitung, Begründung und Durchführung der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008 in Saragossa auf im Kontext der Globalisierung neue städtische Formen und Formen des Regierens hervorbringen, indem alle finanziellen…
Photocatalytic nano-composite architectural lime mortar for degradation of urban pollutants under solar and visible (interior) light
2017
Abstract Recent advances in nano-technology and nano-additives can give enhanced properties to natural hydraulic lime (NHL), creating a multifunctional material. We have prepared a novel nanocomposite, made of a commercial mortar with 1 wt% and 5 wt% added titania nanoparticles (NPs). These TiO 2 NPs are themselves doped with 1 mol% silver, to give the material enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties. The Ag-doped TiO 2 NPs were made from a simple, costs effective, aqueous green nanosynthesis process, and the end material only contains 0.01–0.05% Ag. As this mortar is intended to both combat atmospheric pollution, and create more durable/lower maintenance building facades (plas…
Enterprise Architecture : A Perspective on How Far We Have Come, and Directions for the Future
2019
Enterprise Architecture (EA) appears to retain the attention of both practitioners and researchers, as the technological complexity of organizations grows. Several researchers have noted that research on EA has been diversifying over time, leading to inconsistent use of terminologies. Further, the benefit claims and other results, rather frequently, are not based on empirical evidence. These shortfalls in research on EA impede EA from maturing as a discipline and from demonstrating its benefit claims. Although there are reasons to believe that the research on EA has progressed, the extent of the progress and the directions for future research are not evident. This study draws on a meta-revi…
Towards a Contingency Framework for Engineering an Enterprise Architecture Planning Method
2007
Enterprise architecture (EA) has a key role in managing and relating business strategies and processes, information systems, and IC technologies. EA planning devises an EA plan with development steps to make necessary enhancements to the current state of the affairs in EA. Accomplishing EA planning in a systematic and efficient manner requires the availability of frameworks and methods suitable to the situation at hand. The selection and adaptation of these methodical artifacts for the use of EA planning is often quite challenging in practice. We argue that the contingency approach can help in these activities of method engineering (ME), and present a contingency framework (named here EACon…
Technology Architecture as a Driver for Business Cooperation: Case Study - Public Sector Cooperation in Finland
2019
The current premise in the enterprise architecture (EA) literature is that business architecture defines all other EA architecture layers; information architecture, information systems architecture, and technology architecture. In this paper, we will study the ICT-cooperation between eight small and mid-sized municipalities and cities in Southern Finland. Our case demonstrates that the ICT-cooperation is possible without business cooperation and that ICT-cooperation can be a driver for future business cooperation. The findings challenge the current premise of the guiding force of the business architecture and encourage organisations’ ICT-functions to seek daringly cooperation with other org…
Systems Approaches in the Enterprise Architecture Field of Research: A Systematic Literature Review
2018
This study explores the use of the systems approaches (systems thinking and systems theories) as the theoretical underpinnings for Enterprise Architecture (EA) research. Both the academic and the practitioner communities have maintained an interest in EA due to its potential benefits, promising for the recent technological and business advances. EA as a research area is, however, characterized by diversified views depicted in different definitions of the concept, and no acknowledged common theoretical foundation. A number of prior studies have noticed this gap in the EA field of research, and called for a strengthening of the theory of EA. Variegated systems approaches have been suggested a…
