The history of post Second World War reconstruction has recently become an important field of research around the world; Alternative Visions of Post-War Reconstruction is a provocative work that questions the orthodoxies of twentieth century design history. This book provides a key critical statement on mid-twentieth century urban design and city planning, focused principally upon the period between the start of the Second World War to the mid-sixties. The various figures and currents covered here represent a largely overlooked field within the history of 20th century urbanism. In this period while certain modernist practices assumed an institutional role for post-war reconstruction and flourished into the mainstream, such practices also faced opposition and criticism leading to the production of alternative visions and strategies. Spanning from a historically-informed modernism to the increasing presence of urban conservation the contributors examine these alternative approaches to the city and its architecture.
L'autrice ci mette davanti ad un cambiamento del comportamento nel rapporto dell'umanità nei confronti delle problematiche della pianificazione. […] Certo gli umani sono capaci di fare un paesaggio a mano, potrebbe addirittura essere una delle più belle maniere di agire sul territorio. (dalla presentazione di Gilles Clément) Fausta Occhipinti con “Paesaggi fatti a mano” ci propone un tema ambizioso, una sistematica revisione dei metodi e degli strumenti dello studio del paesaggio nell’università italiana, partendo dall’intuizione che sia necessario introdurre una sperimentazione applicata in costante confronto con i corsi teorici, e questo nel momento più recessivo della nostr...
The 8th International Symposium "Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas. Problems and Measurements Techniques" was organized by CNR-IBE in collaboration with FCS Foundation, and Natural History Museum of the Mediterranean and under the patronage of University of Florence, Accademia dei Geogofili, Tuscany Region and Livorno Province. It is the occasion in which scholars can illustrate and exchange their activities and innovative proposals, with common aims to promote actions to preserve coastal marine environment. Considering Symposium interdisciplinary nature, the Scientific Committee, underlining this holistic view of Nature, decided to celebrate Alexander von Humboldt; a nature scholar that proposed the organic and inorganic nature’s aspects as a single system. It represents a sign of continuity considering that in-presence Symposium could not be carried out due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Subjects are related to coastal topics: morphology; flora and fauna; energy production; management and integrated protection; geography and landscape, cultural heritage and environmental assets, legal and economic aspects.

What is the role of cultural heritage in multi-ethnic societies, where cultural memory is often polarized by antagonistic identity traditions? Is it possible for monuments that are generally considered as a symbol of national unity to become emblems of the conflictual histories still undermining divided societies? Taking as a starting point the cosmopolitanism that blossomed across the Mediterranean in the age of empires, this book addresses the issue of heritage exploring the concepts of memory, culture, monuments and their uses, in different case studies ranging from 19th-century Salonica, Port Said, the Palestinian region under Ottoman rule, Trieste and Rijeka under the Hapsburgs, up to the recent post-war reconstructions of Beirut and Sarajevo.
Gli studi sul paesaggio agrario di Emilio Sereni restano tuttora di grande attualità. La storia dei territori, nel loro intrinseco rapporto tra uomo e natura, è la storia del suolo modellato dal lavoro dei contadini, delle trasformazioni fondiarie, degli ordinamenti colturali, degli insediamenti e delle infrastrutture, ma anche dei rapporti di produzione, con esiti che si caricano di valenze sociali, culturali e visive. I contributi qui presenti raccolgono l’eredità di Emilio Sereni e dimostrano l’attualità della sua lezione, la robustezza delle sue argomentazioni e il fascino che il mondo delle campagne non smette di esercitare. Riprendere oggi a studiare Emilio Sereni ha un significato forte, che richiama i valori dell’antifascismo, della resistenza e le lotte per la giustizia sociale.
