Safety and Security Engineering VIII
In its 8th edition the SAFE conference continues to publish important research contributing to the development of the field. The papers included in this volume are the work of engineers, scientists, field researchers, managers and other specialists involved in one or more of the theoretical and practical aspects of safety and security.
Seismic Isolation, Energy Dissipation and Active Vibration Control of Structures
This volume gathers the proceedings of the 17th World Conference on Seismic Isolation (17WCSI), held in Turin, Italy on September 11-15, 2022. Endorsed by ASSISi Association (Anti-Seismic Systems International Society), the conference discussed state-of-the-art information as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to seismic isolation, energy dissipation and active vibration control of structures, resilience and sustainability. The volume covers highly diverse topics, including earthquake-resistant construction, protection from natural and man-made impacts, safety of structures, vulnerability, international standards on structures with seismic isolation, seismic isolation in existing structures and cultural heritage, seismic isolation in high rise buildings, seismic protection of non-structural elements, equipment and statues. The contributions, which are published after a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
New Scapes
Since the famous competition for the Park La Villette in Paris where the participants included Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman and Gilles Deleuze, the relationship between building and landscape has been dramatically transformed. Concepts such as metamorphosis and interaction, layers and fields are becoming as much a part of architectonic discourse as the practical designs and the realization. Author Paola Gregory examines this interplay between buildings and landscapes present in today ́s architecture scene, illustrating her analysis with exciting examples including the ecological landscapes of James Wines and Greg Lynn, the virtual environments of Marcos Novak and Nox, buildings by Jean Nouvel and Toyo Ito which actively incorporate passers-by and surroundings by means of new media.

The Future of Eco-labelling
Eco-labelling is one of the key tools used by policy-makers in many parts of the world to encourage more sustainable production and consumption. By providing environmental information on products and services, eco-labels address both business users and consumers and range from mandatory approaches, such as required product declarations, to voluntary approaches, such as national eco-labels. Eco-labels can play an important role in environmental policy. They reward and promote environmentally superior goods and services and offer information on quality and performance with respect to issues such as health and energy consumption. Eco-labels fit well into a multi-stakeholder policy framework –...
E-Cycling: Linking Trade and Environmental Law in the EC and the U.S.
Provides insight into recycling legislation and its relationship with trade law, explaining numerous environmental policy tools, such as producer responsibility. Examines the relationship between international trade and environmental protection. Uses a case study of electronic recycling and a comparative law approach to clarify the evolving law of the European Community and the United States.
SAAD. Scenari di innovazione architettura e design
La maggioranza delle ricerche nei settori dell’Architettura e del Design in Italia si colloca nel campo del Made in Italy, una specificità esclusiva, impregnata di una qualità evidente e innata, che negli ultimi decenni ha prodotto una ricerca talmente particolare da renderne spesso difficile l’attribuzione a campi e categorie in uso in altre parti del mondo. Ma per poter avere la consapevolezza di questa mutazione in corso è necessario documentarne costantemente le declinazioni e gli avanzamenti. I saggi contenuti nel volume, risultato di una serie di cicli seminariali svolti nella Scuola di Ateneo nell’ambito della formazione degli ultimi cicli di dottorato, permettono di mettere in relazione tra loro le tematiche e le metodologie specifiche delle diverse aree disciplinari con approcci intersecanti, dalle modalità di progettazione alle diverse scale, alle politiche territoriali e del recupero del patrimonio storico-culturale, alle tecnologie di rappresentazione, simulazione e riproduzione degli artefatti, allo scopo di affrontare nel modo più incisivo l’insieme delle questioni legate alla trasformazione dello spazio dell’uomo.
