Spagna
2009
Nella cultura architettonica spagnola il tema della casa pubblica è sempre stato una costante che ha seguito il percorso storico-politico della nazione diviso però, a livello amministrativo e legislativo, dalla fine della dittatura e dal conseguente inizio della transizione verso un regime democratico nel 1975.
L’ICT a supporto degli Eco-Regolamenti Edilizi - ICT for Eco-Building Regulations
2013
The issue of the Smart Cities as a model of sustainable urban future is preminent in the objectives of Horizon 2020 and the Technology Platform for Italian and European Construction. The main actor of this change is the Public Administration, which, through the Building Regulation, has to promote building processes, both new construction projects, but especially the requalification of the existing building stock, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability. This implies the use of innovative technologies and new materials, components and systems (distributed micro-generation, solar cooling, etc.), Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve the rational use of energy re…
The reason for a project that was never performed: Alvar Aalto and the residential complex in Pavia (1966-68)
2015
This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the project for the residential complex "Patrizia" in Pavia by Alvar Aalto (1966-1968). Although not realized, for political and economic reasons, the project offers an interesting example of urban planning in an “organic key”. In particular, this paper aims to contextualize the project of Aalto in the broader context of the residential building in Italy after World War II, when the problems of reconstruction and "home" are the heart of the debate on architecture. The project, in fact, takes place in the years immediately following the experiments of the social housing plan INA CASA (1949-63), which - with differences in design and architect…
Indoor Comfort in School Buildings: The Case Study of Palermo
2014
Buildings primary energy consumption in developed countries accounts for about 40% of whole uses. Therefore, the European Union has released many regulations, concerning energy saving issues; particularly, it has enacted Directive 2002/91/EC regarding the energy performance of buildings, and its Recast Directive 2010/31/EU, that promotes the Nearly Zero Energy Building targets, introducing more strict parameters in this aim. Furthermore, the latter Directive asks Member States to include within their national plans measures aimed at supporting public authorities to become early adopters of building energy efficiency improvements. In the same time, Public Authorities should implement effecti…
L'archeologia industriale: una storia di edilizia, economia ed abbandono. La Manifattura Tabacchi di Palermo
2016
Nella storia del nostro paese ci sono stati periodi di grande lustro economico, nei quali fiorirono fabbriche che producevano alacremente e che davano lavoro a migliaia di persone e rappresentando per alcuni centri urbani una enorme risorsa ed un punto di riferimento. Si tratta in genere di complessi edificati, all'interno del tessuto urbano o poco fuori da esso, che dalla loro realizzazione hanno influenzato economia e costumi degli abitanti del luogo, segnando spesso la sua stessa storia. Le fabbriche hanno fornito anche l'occasione di sperimentare tecniche costruttive nuove, rese necessarie dalle grandi luci da coprire o dai carichi da sostenere, e soluzioni funzionali sempre diverse, da…
MALTE INNOVATIVE IN AMBITO ARCHEOLOGICO
2015
The aim of this study is the formulation of a special mortar with improved adhesion, elasticity, workability, water resistance compared to traditional mortars. This has been achieved thanks to the addition of nanostructured products able to influence the reaction of water with the hydraulic binder, in order to reduce the drying shrinkage and the subsequent micro-cracks, increasing the elasticity of the material and favoring the anchoring to the surface application. The study focused on laboratory testing of innovative mortars, based on a mixture of hydraulic lime, pozzolana and a nanostructured additive based on silica nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The physical and mechanical character…
Lo ZEN 2 di Palermo: un laboratorio per il progetto e la gestione del recupero
2012
Il quartiere S. Filippo Neri (ZEN 2) di Palermo alla Piana dei Colli, uno dei quartieri innovativi di edilizia residenziale pubblica realizzati nel secondo Novecento, viene quasi sempre citato come esempio emblematico di quartiere degradato, isolato, privo di identità e abbandonato a se stesso. Fra le cause, le lunghe e tormentate fasi progettuali che hanno portato allo stravolgimento dell’impianto originario e la complessa fase realizzativa, con i primi appalti affidati nel 1978 e gli ultimi nel 1987, costellata da fallimenti e riappalti; l’incendio doloso dell’insula 3E; i servizi e le attrezzature previsti e mai realizzati; alloggi privi di servizi a rete fino alla metà degli anni 90 ed …
Use of drones as complement to safety tests on the structures. Study on the chimney stacks of the brownfields
2017
Our cities are rich in historical testimonies of a productive past, many industrial areas that years ago have been a source of income and work are now totally abandoned. Chimneys stacks are an interesting constructive historical episode, because of their representativeness and their materic characteristics. Their size and location, often inside the city centers, sometimes makes them potentially dangerous to safety, so it is necessary to study their conservation status and their resistance to time and stress. The difficulty of finding designs and reliefs and their height and position often make the approach to knowledge difficult, so putting together traditional methods of study with tools u…
The traditional sacral wooden construction in Lithuania. An illustrated catalogue of building techniques for the safeguard and recovery of cultural h…
2015
La Lituania attualmente può annoverare un patrimonio di circa 600 edifici sacri in legno ancora esistenti, sui quali, ad oggi, non sono stati condotti studi approfonditi in merito agli aspetti storico/architettonici e tecnico/costruttivi. Questa tipologia di edifici costituisce un patrimonio della cultura architettonica locale da esplorare e conoscere, per garantirne la corretta conservazione e valorizzazione. La maggior parte di questi edifici di culto in legno versa in condizione di degrado poiché le comunità non sempre possiedono la dovuta attenzione e le competenze tecniche capaci per salvaguardare tale patrimonio. Le cause più frequenti di danno derivano da una inadeguata manutenzione,…
SISTEMI VERDI COME CULTURA RIGENERATIVA: STRUMENTI E TECNOLOGIE
2021
The study analyzes and proposes in the historical and in the area immediately to it adjacent, the "values-nature" of the buildings through the creation of gardens wall and vertical gardens in the elevatiloy of non-monumental buildings. The study deepens in particular the specificity of the garden roof and the garden vertical, recognizing benefits and critical issues that distinguish these green systems for construction. It also deepens the concept of resilience in close relationship sustainability and regenerative design applied to the built environment. The theme of regenerative design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy at the design stage; it requires you to leave nature stre…
