El-Mansoura architectural heritage are divided into main five zones around the city center. The first is the “private palaces and villas zone” in the west of the city center, it was the residence of the aristocratic Egyptians. The second is the “Northern city cen…
TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE CITY
2013
This contribution is about the enhancement of the tangible and intangible cultural heritage and acknowledgement of environmental sustainability principles. It deals with the relationship between new ways of conceiving urban environments and new strategies for urban regeneration in northern and southern Mediterranean cities. Our main research hypothesis will show how the cultural heritage is now the force for change in Mediterranean cities, and involves stakeholders, craftsmen, local inhabitants and consumers. The case studies of Tunis and Marseille will help to address the issue of the enhancement of historic city centres and the redevelopment of abandoned industrial areas. In Tunis we will…
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…
Reconstruir la ciudad sobre la ciudad. El Projet Euroméditerranée en Marsella
2014
At the end of XX century, the city of Marseille suffered a severe crisis caused by decline of industrial and port activities, on which was based city's economy. Despite crisis, Marseille has reacted creating new economic and urban strategies.

The appropriate legal and administrative measures: The Florence Charters and legislation governing the identification, listing and protection of hist…
2021
40 years ago, the ICOMOS-IFLA and Italian Florence Charters canonized historic gardens as cultural heritage. However, neither document has legal force, so they are only influential if voluntarily accepted and translated into legal or administrative measures. This paper uses the city of Palermo, (Sicily) to compare the policy recommendations made in the Florence Charters to the international, Italian, regional and municipal policy that effectively governs historic gardens. Because of its autonomous privileges, Sicily governs its heritage differently than the rest of Italy, and in many ways this independence exacerbates problems in historic garden conservation and management. The Covid-19 pan…
Paesaggio, piano, progetto: problemi lessicali e altro
2012
The notion of landscape and the techniques for landscape design must necessarily be based on two principal regulatory provisions, the European Landscape Convention and in Italy the law on cultural heritage and landscape. Consideration must also be given to what is meant by the term ‘landscape' in normal and specialist parlance and to the nature of the training of landscape architects, because it is from all this that the ambiguities and misunderstandings that surround the notion of landscape originate. Consideration must also be given to the relations between planning and real and local transformations, because the contents and procedures for the formulation of designs depend on them. Lands…
Lapis Resiliency, through Analogic and Digital Drawing
2022
In recent years, life drawings as a tool for site survey had slip into the oblivion of time. Its use is considered anachronistic and superfluous in what is defined as the 'digital age'. Nevertheless, thanks to architecture students, who measure themselves with this type of competence, freehand drawing survives revealing its role in understanding the existing reality. Furthermore, the pandemic emergency has provided the opportunity to reflect on the subject, highlighting the importance of urban sketching as a tool to understand and comprehend the building environment. However, the need to adapt to remote activities has inevitably led to the development of new and interesting methodologies by…
Preserving Cultural Landscapes in South Africa: UAV Mapping of a Bokoni Archaeological Complex
2021
During the second year of the project “A social and spatial investigation at the Moxomatsi village”- Joint Mobility Projects: New Technologies for Social Science, ISARP 2018-20 - the work team of the University of Salerno (Department of Civil Engineering and Department of Cultural Heritage Sciences) was engaged in South Africa for the documentation of the Bokoni Archaeological Complex. Located in the present province of Mpumalanga, the Bokoni was a pre-colonial South African society, the research will be mainly focused on the study of agricultural settlements characterized by areas where densely walled settlements with roughly circular homesteads linked by walled roads are interspersed amon…

Heritage and technology: novel approaches to 3D documentation and communication of architectural heritage
2015
In the past few years we have seen a drastic increasing of image-based modeling (IBM) techniques to get high quality reality-based 3D models. The low costs of these techniques as well as their attractive visual quality have lead many researchers and professionals to invest their energies and resources in several tests. The use of IMB in the field of cultural heritage is mostly exploited in applications such as documentation, digital restoration, visualization, inspection, planning, AR/VR, conservation and design. One of the strengthen of multi-view stereo techniques is the possibility to capture millions of points in a very short time and to get a 3D textured polygonal model that can be eas…
