Accessibilità a Montalbano Elicona: un approccio multiscalare
2021
In any form of the built environment, in order to satisfy the requirement of accessibil- ity, there is a need to consider both material and intangible aspects through a multi- scalar approach. The architectural heritage does not sidestep this need. Any in-depth analysis or project needs to be designed whilst considering the relations and inter-connections between the building, public space and public services on an urban scale. This multi-scalar approach guided some studies carried out under the convention between the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo and the Municipality of Montalbano Elicona, a small town of about 2,100 inhabitants in north-eastern Sicily. In this ca…
Le città di nuova fondazione nella Sicilia del Seicento: committenza, progetti, istituzioni
2011
Il Seicento è per la Sicilia il secolo delle città: città riconfigurate ed ammodernate, città ricostruite, dopo tragiche catastrofi, ma soprattutto città fondate ex novo nel vasto latifondo isolano per creare comunità agrarie stabilmente insediate e socialmente controllate, seguendo una prassi certamente non inedita per l’isola; nessuna delle esperienze precedenti è però paragonabile a ciò che avvenne a partire dalla fine del XVI secolo fino agli inizi del XVIII, quando vennero fondati più di cento borghi feudali da parte dell’aristocrazia isolana, fenomeno che riguarda soprattutto il val di Mazara (corrispondente nella tradizionale divisione in valli dell’isola alla Sicilia centrale ed occ…
The influence of solid retention time on IFAS-MBR systems: analysis of system behavior.
2018
A University of Cape Town Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge Membrane Bioreactor (UCT-IFAS-MBR) pilot plant was operated at different values of the sludge retention time (SRT). Three SRTs were investigated at different durations: indefinitely, 30 and 15 days. The organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus removal, kinetic/stoichiometric parameters, membrane fouling tendency and sludge filtration properties were assessed. The findings showed that by decreasing the SRT, the pilot plant could maintain excellent carbon removal efficiencies throughout the experiments. In contrast, the biological carbon removal showed a slight nitrification and was slightly affected by the decrease of the SRT, s…
Old towns in “smart cities” between conservation and metamorphosis. Pending European Union guidelines
2014
In reflecting upon the role of environmental capital as represented by old towns in smart cities, the author reveals the consequences of re-plastering the facade of ancient buildings while emphasizing the resulting risk of globalization of historic districts. This is followed by a critical consideration concerning the active protection of old towns and their cultural typicality and geographical context, prerequisites for the development of specific guide-lines for the European Union. Explanation is also provided about how the restoration dynamics of the old towns are irreversibly changing the urban landscape in European cities. Strict regulations regarding the preservation of European old t…
Mono industriālie pilsētciemati: Latvijas gadījuma izpēte
2020
Maģistra darbs “Mono industriālie pilsētciemati: Latvijas gadījuma izpēte” apskata iepriekš maz pētītu plānoto mono industriālo pilsētciematu tēmu Latvijā. Maģistra darbā tiek apskatīta un analizēta literatūra par plānoto apdzīvojumu, kā arī mono industriālo aspektu, tāpat arī sociālisma kontekstu un telpiskās plānošanas pieeju Padomju Latvijā un mono industriālais apdzīvojums citās valstīs. Tiek analizēta pilsētciematu piesaiste industrijai, kā arī padziļināti apskatīta četru pilsētciematu, kas atspoguļo dažādus laikposmus, telpiskā struktūra un sociālais profils. Galvenās maģistra darbā izmantotās metodes iekļauj literatūras apskatu un analīzi, mono industriālo pilsētciematu apzināšanu, k…
Miguel del Prado, pintor de retablos en Valencia. Su fallecimiento en las Germanías (1521)
2017
Miguel del Prado, a painter who formed a company with Miguel Esteve in order to paint the now-lost Valencia town hall chapel in 1519, is an artist for whom there is scant documentary evidence. He has been identified with the anonymous Master of the Grifo, but this has been questioned recently. The author here offers news of a contract given to del Prado for an altarpiece in the Rosary Chapel of the old convent of Santo Domingo in Valencia that he was unable to fulfill due to his untimely death. It has been possible to certify that he perished on the battlefield of Almenara during the Germanias Revolt of 1521. Therefore the chronology for this painter has now been reduced by more than 16 yea…

Identity in First and Second Generation Migrants Belonging to a Tunisian Community in Mazara del Vallo (Sicily)
2015
In Sicily, the increasing presence of immigrants has given the society an important challenge which has also required the adoption of an intercultural view and intervention designed to deepen the needs of migrants. Immigrants living in Sicily are distributed above all in coastal areas. The most numerous migrant communities come from Romania, Tunisia and Morocco. In the province of Trapani, the presence of foreigners reflects the regional distribution with migrants from Romania, Tunisia and Morocco. However, a different distribution of the population has been recorded in Mazara del Vallo, a small town in the province of Trapani, where a Tunisian community justifies the prevalence of Tunisian…
