Above The Clouds: LabCity_Architecture
2021
The Winter Workshop “Cinema Paradise CAMPUS_Asia: SUAE_Asia 2021” brought to the attention of 14 teams and 5 Universities the challenge of contemporary architectural design in relation to a site of great naturalistic importance. In fact, the Bolognetta Valley, and in particular the location of the cave and the San Nicola waterfall, are located in the Sicilian hinterland, not far from the city of Palermo, in a context-free from the human presence. Here it is strong the necessity to find a design approach that can constitute a mediation between the built and the natural elements. The presence of the Milicia river then is also central to the whole understanding of the site, due to the restrict…
Error. An inventive resource in drawings
2019
A scholarly research study into the issue of error as understood in the procedures of architectural representation. The study analysis the threefold realm of seeing/thinking/drawing using the speculations of the phenomenology of perception and poststructuralism. The study goes into the psychology by which, over time error has been removed from the ideology of "right architecture". Artistic movements of the avant-garde provide the best materials in terms of a positive use of empirical error.
Branding4Resilience: Explorative and Collaborative Approaches for Inner Territories
2022
This article analyzes inner and marginal territories in four Italian peripheral contexts by first discussing some of the results and future steps of the “B4R Branding4Resilience” research project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Research from 2020 to 2023. The overall research is based on three phases: (1) the exploration phase to analyze socio-economic data and territorial dynamics; (2) the co-design phase involving local actors to develop ideas for a selected pilot case; (3) the co-visioning phase where a future transformative perspective for the whole area was shared with the institutions. The article focuses on phase 1 and presents some first results achieved by the application of a m…
Templi, case ed eloquenza. Alcuni appunti sull'impiego di metafore architettoniche tra Cicerone e Tacito
2016
This paper is focused on the presence of some metaphorical images, in Cicero’s and Tacitus’s rhetorical texts, taken mainly from the architectural language. Such presence, usually into a wider allegorical imagery that includes images related to the home and to the temple, becomes constant in the Roman rhetorical treatises. On the other hand, when these images emerge frequently in the Aper’s speech in the dialogus de oratoribus, we may notice that they show a radical change in the eloquence, in its function and in its social perception.
La Madone de Louvain de Bernard van Orley : les dessous d'une attribution longtemps controversée
2013
In the last century, the Virgin of Louvain, a small panel offered in 1588 by the city of Louvain to the king Philip II of Spain, raised some questions. Attributed to Jean Gossart (called Mabuse) at the time of its sending in Spain at the end of the sixteenth century, the painting was the object of incessant discussions in the term of which the authorship of the work was revised to be finally given to Bernard van Orley because of the figuration of the Virgin. If the style of the Renaissance architecture which appears behind the Madonna was for the historians of the time a characteristic of both artists, its study point to Van Orley as the true author of the painting, also revealing the artis…
Bar-sur-Aube (Aube). 13 rue Beugnot et 2, 4, 10 rue du Prieuré [notice archéologique]
2019
Un projet immobilier de réhabilitation de l’îlot du prieuré Saint-Pierre (dépendance de l’abbaye Saint-Claude dans le Jura), accolé à l’église éponyme, au NO de la ville ancienne de Bar-sur-Aube, a entraîné la prescription d’un diagnostic archéologique sur les deux « cours » concernées par le projet et sur une analyse du potentiel archéologique conservé en élévation. Ce diagnostic a montré d’importants aménagements médiévaux encore conservés au sein du prieuré Saint-Pierre dont la création est antérieure au milieu du XIIe s., tant dans les élévations que dans les données stratigraphiques. Bien que les remaniements modernes et contemporains soient conséquents, et caractéristiques d’une opéra…

The sustainable white city
2020
The history of architecture and urban planning tells of white cities, whose chromatic characteristic derives from the use of local resources (stone, lime) and which unconsciously responded to principles of environmental sustainability. During the first half of the twentieth century, some European countries undertook economic and social policies aimed at the agricultural development of the territories and a consequent repopulation of the countryside. Especially in the south of Spain, numerous white-colored cities were founded. Global warming issues call into question the current organization of the city, which must renew itself and create comfortable and compatible living conditions with lon…
Walter Benjamin, taiteen toinen tekniikka ja avantgarden kulttuuripolitiikka
2018
This article provides a fresh look into Walter Benjamin’s famous essay, “Artwork in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” (1936). Following Benjamin scholar Esther Leslie, we claim that Benjamin’s lesser-known concept of “second technique” is integral for understanding both the meaning of essay as well as mapping the political and artistic aims of the 1920’s avant-garde movements in general. The article is structured around two cases of avant-garde, both of which are central already for Benjamin, but remain somewhat under-theorized in connection to Benjamin. These are the Soviet constructivist film and the idea of glass construction in Weimar-era German architecture.
