This book stems from the seminal work of Robert Venturi and aims at re-projecting it in the current cultural debate by extending it to the scale of landscape and placing it in connection with representative issues. It brings out the transdisciplinary synthesis of a necessarily interdisciplinary approach to the theme, aimed at creating new models which are able to represent the complexity of a contradictory reality and to redefine the centrality of human dimension. As such, the volume gathers multiple experiences developed in different geographical areas, which come into connection with the role of representation. Composed of 43 chapters written by 81 authors from around the world, with an introduction by Jim Venturi and Cezar Nicolescu, the volume is divided into two parts, the first one more theoretical and the other one which showcases real-world applications, although there is never a total split between criticism and operational experimentation of research.
At a time dominated by the disappearance of Future, as claimed by the French anthropologist Marc Augé, Utopia and Religion seem to be two different ways of giving back an inner horizon to mankind. Therefore this book, on the one hand, considers the importance of utopia as a tool and how it offers an economic and social resource to improve cities’ wealth, future and livability. On the other, it explores the impact of religious and cultural ideals on cities that have recently emerged in this context. Based on numerous observations, the book examines the intellectual legacy of utopian theory and practices across various academic disciplines. It also presents discussions, theories, and case studies addressing a range of issues and topics related to utopia.

The scope of the papers ranges f...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good, GOODTECHS 2017, held in Pisa, Italy, November 29-30, 2017. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The papers reflect the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. A social good can be understood as a service that benefits a large number of people in a most possible way. Some classic examples are healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, or even art, entertainment, and communication.
Il volume presenta un'innovativa e inedita lettura del centro storico della città di Brescia attraverso il fil rouge degli assi prospettici che connettono visivamente lo spazio pubblico con quello privato o addirittura, attraverso quest'ultimo, differenti spazi pubblici tra loro. Il “teatro in città” allestisce diversi palcoscenici e ricorre a molti attori disposti lungo gli assi prospettici: facciate, androni, portici, corti, giardini, fontane acquistano un particolare significato, facendo parte di un sistema scenico che dà movimento e respiro all'antico nucleo urbano. I riferimenti alla scenografia teatrale cosí come quelli alla storia dell'arte dimostrano come tutte queste espress...

Le prospettive architettoniche sono un ponte che collega l’arte alla scienza, e la scienza all’arte; e questo ponte l’ha costruito la Storia. Sono un ponte perché nella realizzazione di queste rappresentazioni di architettura che ‘sfondano’ la compagine muraria non si possono raggiungere effetti illusionistici di sì grande potenza senza una consapevolezza delle leggi della proiezione centrale e senza una conoscenza quantomeno empirica dei complessi meccanismi della percezione visiva. Questo ponte l’ha costruito la Storia, pietra dopo pietra, dalle origini delle prime rappresentazioni prospettiche intuitive pervenuteci dall’epoca romana fino ad oggi, attraversando ere storiche...
