E Motion
The aim of the EMotion project is to combine both technological aspects and respect for the territory and its history. The main axis considered in this project is the Asmara-Massawa road. The challenges of a new mobility in this part of Eritrea could be met and overcome by preserving the pre-existing historic infrastructure: an extraordinary and vulnerable cultural heritage, consisting of a unique road and a railway, crossing natural and cultural landscapes and connecting archaeological, historical-artistic and architectural sites; the road itself is a summation of artefacts and monuments to be protected and enhanced. A multidisciplinary team, including archaeologists, architects, geologists and engineers has contributed to the research. The vision of the project represents an ideal and real bridge to enhance the transferring of goods, ideas, knowledge and values and promote the connection of people.
Archeologia e Calcolatori, 31.2, 2020
Nel volume 31.2 sono pubblicati gli Atti di due Convegni internazionali. Il primo, “Milano internazionale: la fragilità territoriale dei contesti archeologici” (Milano, 13 marzo 2019), promosso dal Dipartimento di Beni Culturali e Ambientali dell’Università degli Studi di Milano e dal Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani del Politecnico di Milano, è a cura di G. Bagnasco Gianni, S. Bortolotto, A. Garzulino e M. Marzullo. Il secondo, “Logic and computing. The underlying basis of digital archaeology”, è una sessione speciale dell’IMEKO TC-4 International Conference on Metrology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (MetroArchaeo, Firenze, 4-6 dicembre 2019), a cura di A....
Human Interface and the Management of Information
The three-volume set LNCS 8016, 8017, and 8018 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2013, held in Las Vegas, NV, USA in July 2013. The total of 1666 papers and 303 posters presented at the HCII 2013 conferences was carefully reviewed and selected from 5210 submissions. These papers address the latest research and development efforts and highlight the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer Interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas. This volume contains papers in the thematic area of human interface and the management of Information, addressing the following major topics: learning, education and skills transfer, art and cultural heritage, collaborative work, business integration and decision support.
Infrastrutture e colonizzazione
La realizzazione di infrastrutture è sempre stata utilizzata anche come forma di colonizzazione di territori. A partire dal caso africano, in questa pubblicazione si indaga il modo in cui tale fenomeno è avvenuto in alcune colonie tra Otto e Novecento e come questo, seppur in forme e con attori differenti, stia ancora avvenendo. Sulla scia di un lavoro pubblicato in questa stessa collana nel 2018 – Urbanistica e architettura moderne alla prova della contemporaneità. Sguardi sulle città coloniali e di fondazione –, l’obiettivo è riflettere sui possibili modi di rapportarsi con l’eredità di un passato per molti versi scomodo, di immaginarne il futuro prefigurandone forme di infrastrutturazione del territorio non come passepartout di un nuovo colonialismo politico, economico e culturale, ma come strumenti per uno sviluppo consapevole e sostenibile di territori spesso fragili.
Jerusalem. The Holy Sepulchre
Jerusalem is situated in a highly seismic zone, and in the past has been the theatre of disastrous earthquakes. One of these was the 1927 quake, which seriously damaged the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre. A study of the city of Jerusalem has revealed a cyclical pattern of repeated seismic events, every 100 years or so. The desire to avert a danger, foretold in advance, lay behind the project described in this volume. In 2006 the three Major Communities of the Holy Sepulchre invited a research team from Florence University. Architects, surveyors, geologists and structural engineers conducted the investigations, in a highly interdisciplinary collaboration. It was an extraordinary opportunity to draw up a complete survey, using new technology. This resulted in a three-dimensional digital model of the structural situation on that date: a powerful, exhaustive tool for the continuation of further research, and documentation, in the future.
Uomini e acque a San Benedetto Po. Il governo del territorio tra passato e futuro. Atti del convegno (Mantova-San Benedetto Po, 10-12 maggio 2007)
I contributi accolti nel volume forniscono la conoscenza articolata e completa di un bacino territoriale posto tra Lombardia ed Emilia, tra la riva destra del Po e la riva sinistra del fiume Secchia. Caratterizzato dall’abbondante presenza di acque, la necessità di procedere ad interventi di bonifica e sistemazione idraulica, con un lungo processo iniziato in età preromana, ha causato nel corso dei secoli una serie di trasformazioni che ne hanno profondamente trasformato il paesaggio. Fondamentale in questo processo la presenza del monastero di San Benedetto in Polirone. Furono infatti i monaci, a partire dal 1007, i protagonisti dell’opera di modellamento delle terre, via via strappate alle paludi e alle selve, dalle quali l’Abbazia traeva il proprio sostentamento, e a mettere a punto il sistema delle “digagne” che resisterà fino all’avvento delle bonifiche meccaniche nel primo decennio del secolo ventesimo.

The Etruscan World
The Etruscans can be shown to have made significant, and in some cases perhaps the first, technical advances in the central and northern Mediterranean. To the Etruscan people we can attribute such developments as the tie-beam truss in large wooden structures, surveying and engineering drainage and water tunnels, the development of the foresail for fast long-distance sailing vessels, fine techniques of metal production and other pyrotechnology, post-mortem C-sections in medicine, and more. In art, many technical and iconographic developments, although they certainly happened first in Greece or the Near East, are first seen in extant Etruscan works, preserved in the lavish tombs and goods of E...
Structural Analysis of Historic Construction: Preserving Safety and Significance, Two Volume Set
The successful preservation of an historic building, complex or city depends on the continued use and daily care that come with it. The possibility of continued use depends on the adaptation of the building to modern standards and practice of living, requiring changes in constructional or structural features. Conservation engineering is the process
