The Invention of Sicily
Whether you’re vacationing in Italy or simply an armchair traveler, this guide to the Mediterranean island of Sicily is a dazzling introduction to the region’s rich 3,000-year history and culture. A rich and fascinating cultural history of the Mediterranean’s enigmatic heart Sicily is at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, and for over 2000 years has been the gateway between Europe, Africa and the East. It has long been seen as the frontier between Western Civilization and the rest, but never definitively part of either. Despite being conquered by empires—Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Hapsburg Spain—it remains uniquely apart. The island’s story maps a mosaic that mixes the...
Urban Ecological Design
This trailblazing book outlines an interdisciplinary "process model" for urban design that has been developed and tested over time. Its goal is not to explain how to design a specific city precinct or public space, but to describe useful steps to approach the transformation of urban spaces.

Quando l’ornamento non è delitto
L’origine della contrapposizione tra architettura e decorazione nasce dalla definizione di ornamento come parte accessoria, secondaria. L’arte dell’Italia meridionale viene etichettata come meramente decorativa, quindi limitata perché priva dell’elemento «strutturale». Questo volume attraversa cinque secoli di tradizione visiva siciliana per documentare, invece, la tendenza a integrare spazio, architettura e decorazione. I casi studio qui analizzati – dal tardogotico al Novecento – dimostrano come forma architettonica e decoro convivano, divenendo una caratteristica identificativa dell’arte siciliana.
