Periferie (e) questione urbana: creatività, pratiche informali e innovazione sociale
2015
La rappresentazione del periferico come spazio-problema domina media e arene politiche attraverso la narrazione degli esiti più macroscopici della questione urbana e dell'acuirsi delle disuguaglianze sociali. Ma se è vero che nelle periferie prendono forma problemi e conflitti emergenti, vecchie e nuove istanze di giustizia sociale e spaziale, è anche vero che esse si configurano sempre più come laboratori in cui si stanno forgiando alcune delle soluzioni più innovative di riappropriazione della città. Il carattere liminale e potenziale di cui le periferie sono espressione è stato sintetizzato efficacemente nella definizione di Roger Keil Suburban revolution, intesa quale espressione di que…

Una sostenibilidad social para la regeneración urbana de la ciudad inteligente
2013
Today the concept of “Smart City” is usual in the new urban and globalized vocabulary. Despite, the power of its modernity can conceal a insufficient reflection about the scope of its capacity to transform the urban and contemporary paradigm. This research offers a reflection regard what since the euro Mediterranean contest, the concept of “smart city”, can contribute to the international debate, and alerts about the importance to know the deliberation of the urban transformations through the history and also the contemporary age. Actualmente el concepto “Smart City” es habitual en el nuevo vocabulario urbano globalizado. Sin embargo, la potencia de su modernidad puede estar ocultando una r…
Palermo Open Frontier. Progettare l'interfaccia liquida porto-città
2019
Palermo Open frontier, ossia Palermo come "frontiera" aperta, indaga e propone una risposta progettuale alla problematica relazione di interfaccia tra la città di Palermo ed il suo porto. Il lavoro prende avvio dalla consapevolezza del controverso attuale legame tra la città di Palermo e l'acqua, nonché della complessità ed eterogeneità del tessuto urbano. L'area fulcro del progetto è l'interfaccia Molo Trapezoidale-Piazza Tredici Vittime, nodo fra il progetto di ampliamento del porto crocieristico/spugnoso e la città consolidata, ripensando lo spazio pubblico compreso fra la Cala ed il Castello a Mare, la via F. Crispi e la via Emerico Amari.
Revitalization of a community site-specific art and art festivals : a case of art site Naoshima

Pop-Up Architecture as Urban Regeneration
2016
Recent ideas in urban planning, conceptualized e.g., as New Urbanism, emphasize the humane point of view of the city. The focus of these ideas is on the citizens and their experiences of feeling comfortable and at home in the urban space; people´s possibilities of spending leisure time in the city centre; and enabling the encounter of different people in the city space in order to bring the inner city to life. To revitalize the less used, unused, or decayed city spaces by using them as venues for diverse cultural activities is a part of these ideas. The means of urban regeneration often rely on ambitious and permanent transformations of the urban space, such as constructing cultural infrast…
Temporary Architecture as a Means in Urban Regeneration
2018
Heritage, urbanity and transition: methods and tools for a possible future.
2021
It has taken millennia to provide our world with works of art that are sometimes comparable in magnificence and character to natural creation. Some civilizations of the past, without having any of our means, have created a historical heritage of infinite beauty. The literature on heritage and memory reports that heritage exists because society attests that an artifact, event, or place is so valuable that it is handed down to the next generation. Heritage is our anchor and beauty will save us. Architects, historians and geographers have argued that the concepts of heritage and memory are socially constructed, they shape cities and influence their identity. In the current metamorphosis, how t…
Understanding the EU Urban Agenda from the margins of Europe: the case of Porto
2021
This research focuses on the EU regional policy and presents a critical analysis of its influence on the urban regeneration process of the Portuguese city of Porto. A particular attention is drawn to the historic centre area which in 1996 was formally recognised by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The old town's social, cultural and historic heritage has been dealing with a diverse range of challenges and consequently has been the stage of different urban interventions. Among the actions that have been implemented during the last 50 years to steer the area's development, two area-based interventions linked to the EU Cohesion Policy have notably contributed to the processes of urban chan…
