As architectural designs continue to push boundaries, there is more exploration into the bound shape of architecture within the limits of spaces made for human usability and interaction. The Handbook of Research on Form and Morphogenesis in Modern Architectural Contexts provides emerging research on the process of architectural form-finding as an effort to balance perceptive efficiency with functionality. While highlighting topics such as architectural geometry, reverse modeling, and digital fabrication, this book details the geometric process that forms the shape of a building. This publication is a vital resource for scholars, IT professionals, engineers, architects, and business managers seeking current research on the development and creation of architectural design.
Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the 19th century, as well as the beginning of the 20th century. Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
Le vicende politiche e sociali di Casoria – il più vicino e importante capoluogo di distretto della Napoli capitale – dalla Rivoluzione del 1799 agli inquieti decenni delle mancate rivoluzioni liberali, con la riscoperta di importanti protagonisti del dibattito nazionale come i Rocco, Francesco Proto e Padre Ludovico, e la ricostruzione delle dinamiche (e delle lotte) politiche del collegio elettorale fino alla vigilia della Grande Guerra, offrono spunti inediti e interessanti per ricostruire un quadro storico significativo di un’epoca importante, in cui affondano le radici malate di una “questione” che continua ancora a pesare come un’ombra sul cuore dell’Italia. Senza inutili rancori o sterili revanscismi. Ma solo per cercare di capire meglio perché la storia e andata com’è andata.
