Strada Paesaggio Città. La città in estensione tra Palermo e Agrigento

2015

La consapevolezza della modernità porta a interrogarsi sull’attuale natura morfologica e dimensionale dei nuovi luoghi, per comprenderne il senso delle relazioni spaziali e tentarne un’elaborazione estetica. A partire dal concetto di città in estensione di Giuseppe Samonà, si è voluto elaborare un quadro interpretativo e progettuale nel vasto territorio interno della Sicilia, definito dalla strada che congiunge Palermo con Agrigento, il Tirreno con il Mare Africano, contrassegnato da numerose città-paese, dalla campagna agricola, dai luoghi ibridi della città diffusa. In questo paesaggio, si è assunto il progetto di architettura per determinare e proporre nuove strategie e forme per lo svil…

Sistemi cibernetici per la ri-definizione dello spazio architettonico. Cedric Price e i laboratori del cambiamento

2020

This paper investigates the introduction of the cybernetic approach in architecture, through the key-role of N. Wiener, G. Pask and their influence on the projects of Cedric Price in the Sixties. The analysis of two of his most representative projects, such as the Fun Palace and the Generator, aims to individuate the informatics influence brought to the spatial composition. Furthermore, the article will clarify the visionary though of the British architect concerning the impact of digital infrastructures on the prefiguration of the most recent responsive and interactive approaches in architecture.

L'Alta Velocità in Cina. Politiche, strategie, territori

2014

High Speed railways in China. Policies, strategies and territories. by Marc Guigon The history of High-Speed railways in China is not a linear one, traced in the course of a rigorous planning process. It has on the contrary experienced moments of rapid surge, only to be followed by periods of slower growth. Fervid action, decision-making and euphoria have been accompanied by scathing failures, against a background of corruption and complex relations with the foreign providers of fundamental technology. The ! nal result is noteworthy however, because China currently has the largest High-Speed railroad network in the world, with a very high level of customer satisfaction, though the cost has …

Mediterranean City in Transition

2019

The critical knowledge of the complex urban context of Palermo has led the research group LabCity ARCHITECTURE to some observations, from a didactic and research point of view, on the theme of inter-active infrastructure as an interpretative and operative figure of project in the city. Thus the projects for the future stations Politeama, Porto and Libertà of the Railway Ring offer possibilities for urban connection at the same time as hybridization and integration of urban mobility system to public space.

Orizzontale vs Verticale. Lo spazio pubblico in sezione

2019

Alla richiesta di citare l’edificio recente che più avrebbe influenzato l’architettura americana, il critico architettonico del New Yorker, Paul Goldberger (2011),rispose senza esitazione: «Può sembrare strano, ma penso che la High Line potrà condizionare il prossimo decennio più di qualsiasi edificio convenzionale». Dietro questa risposta c’è molto della condizione contemporanea dell’architettura in cui si esprime un’innovativa visione dello spazio pubblico. Questo progetto - insieme ad ulteriori esempi dimostrativi che costituranno la massa critica del corpo tematico del futuro saggio - sancisce il definitivo ed epocale distacco da un’interpretazione dello spazio pubblico come livello zer…

LA CITTÁ DOPO IL PROGRESSO: LA STAZIONE DI STOCCARDA E L’AEROPORTO DI BERLINO

2014

The city post-progress: the station in Stuttgart and the airport in Berlin. by Florian Hertweck. In 2012 the Biennale di Venezia dedicated an entire room to the Hamburg Philharmonic. This was a tribute to the project by Herzog and De Meuron, but not for its splendid architecture, rather for the disaster represented by its construction. In a country which has built its identity around its faith in progress and growth, as much as its capacity for developing, on the national scale, a complex of technical, social and cultural infrastructures that is among the most competitive in the world, the inability to bring projects of this scope to term reveals a change in paradigm. In fact, the failure o…

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.

Il riflesso del porto. Il progetto Tanger Port fra promozione politica e frammentazione urbana.

2015

"The reflection of the harbour. The Tanger Port project: political promotion and urban fragmentation" Relying on several large-scale projects launched during the fifteen-year reign of King Mohammed VI, Morocco is addressing its unprecedented infrastructural development as a crucial tool to bolster its economic competitiveness, and to turn the country into an attractive platform for foreign investment. Contributing to enhance the northern region and its Mediterranean façade, the Tanger Port renewal should be framed within the context of the colossal container terminal of Tanger Med, in a scenario distinguished by the current political promotion of the monarchical discourse. As the Tanger Por…

STAZIONI DELL’ALTA VELOCITÁ IN GIAPPONE. TIPOLOGIA ARCHITETTONICA E URBANA DI UN MODELLO PRAGMATICO

2014

High-Speed railway stations in Japan. The architectural and urban typology of a pragmatic model. By Corinne Tiry-Ono The Japanese high-speed railway service was launched in 1964, during a time of rapid economic and demographic growth. It gave birth to a new, standardized generation of railway stations, and embodied the Tokaido Megalopolis. Originally centred on the capital city, its network now stretches across the entire country, seeking a better balance in terms of regional economic development and the revitalization of peripheral areas. Topographical constraints, natural risks and technical choices (elevated tracks, frequent tunnels, and speci! c rail gauge) led to a physically and techn…
