Giuseppe Samonà e la “spina dorsale” di Gibellina Nuova

2020

Nel 1970 Giuseppe Samonà coordina il gruppo di progettazione formato da Vittorio Gregotti, Gianni Pirrone e Alberto Samonà per il Progetto del Centro civico, commerciale e culturale di Gibellina Nuova. Del piano è realizzato il municipio e poi, rielaborato e in altro luogo, il teatro. I monumenti, fondati su un asse pedonale in quota connesso a un suolo artificiale articolato, esprimono l’unità architettura – urbanistica e anticipano, per certi versi, una riflessione successiva del Direttore dello IUAV sulla dialettica fra urbano e rurale.

Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E UrbanaIn 1970 Giuseppe Samonà coordinated a design team (with Vittorio Gregotti Gianni Pirrone and Alberto Samonà) for the project of the Civic Commercial and Cultural Centre of Gibellina Nuova. From this plan among the monuments just the town hall was built. The theatre was proposed later for a different place. The buildings should have been linked to a pedestrian axial gangway connected to an articulated artificial ground. The complex should have shown the unity between architecture and urban planning anticipating in some ways a later Samona’s reflection about the dialectic between urban and rural.

I Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa di Palermo. Strategie e azioni per un modello di innovazione culturale

2016

Il saggio descrive gli esiti di una ricerca su una area strategica della città di Palermo - un tempo importante area industriale dei mobilieri Ducrot e del design di Basile - oggi adibita a cittadella della cultura. La ricerca affronta i temi della trasformazione architettonica dei padiglioni industriali in spazi per la produzione artistica e culturale, nonché quelli delle nuove relazioni che l'area può istituire con la città. Il saggio esplora gli aspetti della cultura materiale ed immateriale come un unico patrimonio che nutre e istruisce il progetto di architettura e di design e riflette sulle pratiche innovative e sul ruolo della partecipazione attiva degli artisti e degli attori cultur…

La città di Alphabet. Architettura per prosumers.

2021

Attraverso alcuni aspetti salienti dell’ideazione, della produzione e dell’opposizione al progetto del Toronto Quayside di Sidewalk labs, l’articolo discute l’influenza delle infrastrutture digitali per l’informazione sul progetto della casa e del quartiere. L’ampliamento delle attività svolte da remoto nello spazio domestico, enfatizzato dal quotidiano della pandemia da Covid 19, costituisce per gli oligopolisti planetari degli urban data come Alphabet un utile volano pubblicitario e un acceleratore. La fusione dei nuovi vessilli della tecnoemancipazione e della sostenibilità in ipotesi sperimentali che mirano a costruirsi sia per intero che per parti realizza un nuovo orizzonte in cui lo …

Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E UrbanaTaking into account some salient aspects of the conception production and opposition to the Toronto Quayside project by Sidewalk labs the article discusses the influence of urban data-digital infrastructures on the architectural design of the house and the neighbourhood. The extension of remote control on the practices of everyday life in the domestic space emphasized by the daily Covid 19 pandemic constitutes a useful advertising reference and an accelerator for the planetary oligopolists of urban data such as Alphabet. The fusion of the new emblems of techno-emancipation and sustainability in experimental hypotheses that can be built both in whole or in parts draws a new horizon in which the domestic space generates a technological profit and the inhabitants are transformed into producers. From a historical perspective our reality eclipses the idea of technology as an anonymous contribution to collective progress demonstrated by Giedion in Mechanization takes command and subverts the allegorical value assigned by the Architecture of the Seventies to the relational utopias of the Web Stem and Cluster.

Sine cura. Verso il ri-ciclo dell'architettura del secondo Novecento

2019

Gli argomenti discussi nel saggio interrogano il destino che il Codice dei Beni Culturali (2004- 2011) determina per le opere del secondo Novecento. Nella costruzione del futuro di questi manufatti, che per funzione, tecnologia e cicli d’uso sono spesso segnati dall’obsolescenza e dall’abbandono, le ambiguità e le incongruenze delle attuali procedure legislative sollecitano profondamente il ruolo culturale delle esperienze di ricerca che usano metodologie meta progettuali. Il confronto fra alcuni casi italiani ed altri europei rimarca il ruolo del progetto nella costruzione di una prospettiva di tutela trasformativa per il costruito del secondo Novecento. Nel quadro di azione marcato dall’o…

Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E UrbanaThe essay questions the future's possibilities to operate on the buildings of the second half of the twentieth century according to the Italian Code of Cultural Heritage (2004-2011). When arguing how to encourage the re-use of these artifacts which are often marked by short-life technology cycles obsolescence and abandonment the ambiguities and inconsistencies of current legislative procedures deeply stress the cultural role of research experiences that use project-oriented methodologies. The comparison between some Italian and other European cases highlights the role of a design approach in the construction of a transformative protection perspective for the built matter of the second half of the twentieth century. In a framework aiming to encourage a reconciliation between the recent built environment and the new paradigms of sustainability and circular economy architecture must recognize re-cycle practices as a main theoretical and procedural node. To modernize the late Modern built environment with contemporary construction components is not simply a matter of technical knowledge and expertise: but a theme with theoretical density aesthetic and ethical values. The architectural project in this field today must ask for greater congruence between the bureaucratic and administrative levels and the real consistency of this corpus. It is a matter of identifying strategies to equip it with capabilities meanings and contents remembering that demolition wastes have unsustainable environmental costs and uncertain results concerning the necessary new attribution of political and semantic meaning that these places await.

A Case of Cooperative Sound Design

2016

In this design case study, protocol and linkographic analysis are applied to a task of cooperative vocal sketching, proposed in the scope of educational research activities. The understanding of the cognitive behaviors involved in sound creation is aimed at setting the ground for the development of rigorous, designerly evaluation practices tailored to sound design, all the way to the final interactive product. Relevant qualitative and quantitative information about the creative process informs the assessment and possibly improvement of sound design methods.

Exergoeconomic analysis as a tool for supporting the design and operation of multiple chiller systems in air conditioning applications.

2019

Multiple-Chillers systems represent viable solutions for medium/large-scale air conditioning applications. In these systems, however, design and energy savings are highly affected by the configuration and operation strategies adopted. For instance, when considering multiple chillers of same size, “symmetric” or “sequential” load sharing strategies are two viable options. Conversely, when considering chillers of different sizes, a wide combination of chillers cooling capacities may be adopted. It is apparent that an integrated analysis of the design and operation of these systems should be carried out in order to achieve profitable energy saving. With this respect, Exergoeconomics, which res…

STUDIO DI UNA FRIZIONE MAGNETOREOLOGICA PER AUTOVEICOLI

2013

Dopo un’accurata ricerca bibliografica sui fluidi magnetoreologici, il loro comportamento ed impiego, si è passati alla progettazione di una frizione magnetoreologica per autoveicoli. Considerando le caratteristiche di coppia trasmessa e potenza, il dispositivo è stato dimensionato tenendo presente i vincoli di ingombro del veicolo preso in esame. Sottoponendo il dispositivo ad analisi magnetostatica agli elementi finiti, si è determinato l’andamento delle linee di flusso del campo magnetico nel meato di fluido e nelle zone di maggior interesse, calcolando la coppia teoricamente trasmessa dall’innesto.È stato anche eseguito il confronto delle prestazionifra una frizione MR ed una frizione t…

Settore ING-IND/14 - Progettazione Meccanica E Costruzione Di MacchineAfter a thorough literature search on magnetorheological fluids their behavior and use it has gone to the design of a magnetorheological clutch for motor vehicles. Considering the characteristics of transmitted torque and power the device is dimensioned taking into account the constraints of space of the examined vehicle. Subjecting the device to magnetostatic finite element analysis it was determined the trend of the flow lines of the magnetic field in the gap of fluid and in areas of greater interest calculating the torque transmitted theoretically by the clutch. The performance comparison between a traditional clutch and a MR clutch was also performed pointing out that the MR clutch presents shorter response times with high energy savings. The study carried out shows that the device is well suited to a vehicle with automatic or robotic or otherwise with very short response times but requires a control system for the starting the vehicle.
