Sustainable architecture and complex design
Today, it is more vital than ever to build, or restore, a sustainable quality in our environment, from small scale interventions to landscape design. Such result can only be achieved by addressing specific theoretical and practical issues, namely how complexity should be conceived in architecture, how nature and architecture should interrelate, how the various disciplinary processes and the subjects who contribute to construction should be managed and mutually integrated.
My name is Elisa
Elisa is 16 years old and has never eaten chicken with cutlery. She has two brothers and two sisters whom she adores, a best friend and many holiday plans. In order to understand something about herself, she keeps a diary, in which she recounts her summer of adventures lived with enthusiasm, unforeseen events faced with delicacy and endless surprises: a new friend in London, a plate of spicy spaghetti by the sea, a helicopter trip during a weekend in the mountains and a fake date that will perhaps become something more. By the end of the summer, so much has happened that Elisa decides to end the experiment and throw herself enthusiastically into everything her teenage life has in store for her.
Cicatrici a forma di quadrifoglio
Ci sono incontri che possono cambiare per sempre la nostra vita. Così è stato per Alba, una ragazza di diciassette anni che un giorno incontra Angelo. Con lui scoprirà la forma di amore più innocente e spontanea di adolescente, ma allo stesso tempo le ferite mai guarite del passato ritornano prepotentemente a galla increspando la sua tranquilla quotidianità. Non sempre è facile fare i conti con il passato e proprio quando pensavamo di aver dimenticato e superato i drammi vissuti e ciò che ci ha fatto soffrire, scopriamo invece che il passato è molto più presente e vicino di quanto pensavamo tanto da sconvolgerci la vita. L’amore di Alba e Angelo li salverà o li porterà nel profo...
Cultural Mobilities Between China and Italy
This book offers a critical analysis of global mobilities across China and Italy in history. In three periods in the twentieth century, new patterns of physical mobilities and cultural contact were established between the two countries which were either novel at the time of their emergence or impactful on subsequent periods. The first two chapters provide overviews of writings by Italians in China and by Chinese in Italy in the twentieth century. The remaining chapters cover: Republican China’s relationships with Italy and Italian Fascist colonialism in China during the 1920s–1930s; Italian travelers to China during the Cold War from the 1950s to the 1970s; migrations between China and Italy during the 2000s–2010s. In analyzing these cultural mobilities, this book opens a new line of inquiry in Chinese-Italian Cultural Studies, which has been dominated by historical study, and contributes a significant case study to the scholarship on global cultural mobilities.

The Politics of Architectural Pedagogy in Iran
The Politics of Architectural Pedagogy in Iran explores the evolution of architectural pedagogy during two significant socio-political upheavals in Iran: The White Revolution (1963) and the Islamic Revolution (1979). It examines how these transformative periods influenced the field, providing valuable insights into the intersection of architectural education and broader socio-political shifts in Iran. By examining the critical role of education in achieving geopolitical objectives during the Cold War, this book explores architectural pedagogy as an agent for resistance and revolution. It highlights how architectural pedagogy not only reflects radical ideologies but also actively engages in s...
Travel Writings on Asia
This open access book provides an analysis of human actors and their capacity to explore and conceptualise their own agency by being curious, gathering knowledge, and shaping identities in their travel reflections on Asia. Thus, the actors open windows across time to present a profound overview of diverse descriptions and constructions of Asia. It is demonstrated that international and transnational history contributes to and benefits from analyses of national and local contexts that in turn enrich our understanding of transcultural encounters and experiences across time. The book proposes an actor-centred contextual approach to travel writing to recount meaningful constructions of Asia’s physical, political and spiritual landscapes. It offers comparative reflections on the patterns of encounter across Eurasia, where from the late medieval period an idea of civilisation was transculturally shared yet also constantly questioned and reframed. Tailored for academic and public discussions alike, this volume will be invaluable for both scholars of Global History and interested audiences to stimulate further discussions on the nature of global encounters in Asia.
Architettura sostenibile e progetto complesso
È questione vitale, ancor più oggi, costruire o ricostruire una qualità sostenibile del nostro ambiente dalle piccole dimensioni a quelle del paesaggio. Per fare ciò è necessario affrontare aspetti teorici e operativi che riguardano: il come intendere la complessità in architettura, le connessioni tra natura e architettura, la gestione e l'integrazione tra i vari tra momenti disciplinari e tra i protagonisti della costruzione.
