The Sicily of the Voyage Pittoresque, with a Quick (and Very "Personal") Gaze at the Travel Literature
2019
Travel literature does not constitute an objective source: neither the images nor the texts escape the cliches of the time in which they were written. In the age of the Grand Tour, western culture appropriated the history of Sicily and the South, andit did so by selecting and distorting data and information. From a personal point of view, the author underlines the legacies, born between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which still condition current historiography, perception of places and the collective imagination. Travel literature does not constitute an objective source: neither the images nor the texts escape the clichés of the time in which they were written. In the age of the …
Goethe's scenography drawings
2017
[EN] Goethe’s facet of playwright and theater manager guarantee his architectural knowledge on these issues shown in his drawings. In its stage proposals he left the Vitruvian and Palladian models, followed in the typological definition, eliminating the architectural frons scænæ frons and preferring sets painted. Thus, fictitious architecture fit each representation but it differed from building’s architecture appropriateness.
Gemelle diverse. Las iglesias de la Santísima Trinidad de Delia y de San Nicolò Regale en Trápani, Sicilia
2019
[EN] The work develops the necessary phases before arriving at a restoration project. The main objectives are: the study and historical-architectural analysis, the knowledge of the current management and enhancement of the two churches, the proposal of strategies to show the value of the remains of the past and to educate the new generations and the development of a method. In addition to the data collection “in situ” relative to the current conditions of the elements, their state of conservation and the documentation of existing pathologies, an architectural survey has been carried out to perform the comparative analysis of both churches and the proposals of action. The two architectures a…
Goethe y la arquitectura teatral
2016
[EN] As a playwright and theatre director in Weimar, Goethe became interested in theatre architecture. He proved it in his architectural drawings. He channeled his ideas through theatre type described by Vitruvius and its modern time adaptation by Palladio in his Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. All this was reflected in several sketches and the project developed together with architect Coudray after the fire in Weimar theatre in 1825
Integración de restos arqueológicos Almohades en el metropolitano de Granada. La investigación multidisciplinar para el proyecto y desarrollo de infr…
2014
The execution of the Granada Metropolitan’s underground line made possible the discovery of archeological remains of a water tank in Alcázar Genil, a royal muslim residence of the 13th century. The water tank, 419 × 88 ft, was destroyed at its ends due to the growth of the city of Granada during the 20th century and today remains only its center section, under Camino de Ronda, exactly where the future Metropolitan will take place. The location of an underground station will allow the recovery, the integration and the exhibition of the archaeological remains of this water tank. The Alcázar Genil station project brings together the work of several disciplines which put in the same level engin…
Public procurement: current situation and points of improvement
2015
[ES] La construcción pública ha sido, es y será uno de los pilares fundamentales del sector construcción español, si bien la actual situación de crisis económica y la reducción de la inversión pública en nuevas infraestructuras ha generado un descenso de actividad hasta niveles similares a los años noventa. El retorno a índices de actividad más elevados no solo se conseguirá con la recuperación de la economía del país, sino que será necesario realizar ciertas mejoras en los procesos de licitación con objeto de conseguir una mayor funcionalidad y flexibilidad en la contratación pública de obras.
Helicoid and Architectural application
2012
Questo articolo è un risultato parziale di una ricerca riguardante la rappresentazione di superfici complesse in geometria descrittiva. La padronanza e l’abilità nell’uso delle diverse tecniche di rappresentazione, consente di raggiungere risultati che altrimenti non sarebbero perseguibili. La Scuola di Disegno di Ingegneria, dell’Università di Palermo si è da sempre fatta promotrice della scienza della rappresentazione attraverso la sperimentazione di tecniche semplificative ed innovative della geometria descrittiva applicata all’architettura e all’ingegneria. In particolar modo, in questo lavoro, si riporta lo studio di una superficie complessa quale è l’elicoide che trova larga applicazi…
Natural assets in the right-of-way of A-4 Motorway in the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park, Opole Region
2014
Construction of the A-4 Motorway section in the Opole Region begun in Summer 1997. Very soon vigorous resistance of ecological NGOs was encountered. The bone of contention was the section of motorway that passes through the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park and verges the natural reserve of strict protection Ligota Dolna where rare species of thermophilic plants are sheltered. Between 2011 and 2013 a detailed mycological, geobotanical, floristic and fauna research took place within the right-of-way of the A-4 Motorway section crossing the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park in the Opole Region. The survey revealed several rare and protected species of fungi, plants and animals along the road, i…
The Minimum House Designs of Pioneer Modernists Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand
2016
The article deals with the study of two projects of Eileen Gray, an architect who had turned her perception of reality into formal delicacy and Charlotte Perriand, who was able to promote the emphasis of collective and rational living. The article proposes the analysis of some unbuilt Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand’s projects designed in response to the social problems arising in 1936. Their projects of minimum temporary houses are a manifesto through which they investigates other principles of the Modern Movement with the variety of composition of small spaces in relation to the inside well-being at the human scale. The redrawing practice, shown in this article as methodological traini…
Harry Francis Mallgrave. L'empatia degli spazi. Architettura e neuroscienze
2015
Le informazioni che possiamo acquisire sul molteplice aspetto della realtà passano attraverso la percezione sensoriale che il nostro corpo ha dell’esterno. La relazione fra il corpo e l’architettura è proprio il tema centrale intorno al quale si snoda il libro di Harry Francis Mallgrave che, in quanto pioniere degli studi sull'applicazione delle neuroscienze alla teoria architettonica, svela attraverso "L’empatia degli spazi" la potenza e la forza del corpo nel costruire le forme della realtà. Information we can acquire on the multiple aspect of reality passes through sensory perception that our body has of the outside. The relationship between body and architecture is the central topic of …
