URBAN CORPORIS. The City and the Skin
In this Urban Corporis volume, ?The city and the skin?, we asked the authors to read, define and interpret the role of the skin as a facade, as a protection, as a compositional image of urban revelation. Without formal restrictions, without ethical preconceptions: the skin as part of the building designed to mediate the relationship. The architectural skin, understood as the technological system of delimitation between architectural space and unbuilt environment, can be analyzed as a boundary system between interior and exterior, the most evident expression of the identity of an artifact. In this dual role of border and interface, receptive as active, the skin of an architecture (seen also through art) is charged with a double value: an element of covering and protection and, at the same time, a tool of relationship and interface, in fact, towards the external world.
Advances in Utopian Studies and Sacred Architecture
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.
Urban and Transit Planning
This book incorporates a wealth of research focused on the more and more urgent challenges that urban planning and architectural design all over the world must cope with: from climate change to environmental decay, from an increasing urban population to an increasing poverty. In detail, this book aims at providing innovative approaches, tool and case study examples that, in line with the agenda of 2030, may better drive human settlements toward a sustainable, inclusive and resilient development. To this aim, the book includes heterogeneous regional perspectives and different methodologies and suggests development models capable of limiting further urban growth and re-shaping existing cities to improve both environmental quality and the overall quality of life of people, also taking account the more and more close relationships among urban planning and technological innovation.
Meditazioni sull'amore
Come l’essere, anche l’amore si dice in molti modi. Diverse sono le grammatiche dell’amore, e diverse sono le fenomenologie dell’esperienza amorosa. Complicati sono pure i fili che annodano le grammatiche dell’amore, che permettono cioè di raccontare le storie d’amore, con le esperienze amorose, le quali, anche quando si dicono nella parola non pronunciata dell’estasi erotica o nel silenzio che accompagna il lutto dovuto alla perdita dell’oggetto amato, sono sempre tese verso il loro dirsi, verso una narrazione possibile. Purificare, o emendare, tali grammatiche non è impresa facile, ma, riconoscendo che in molte di esse si cela la presenza – a volte nemmeno tanto nascosta – del dominio maschile o patriarcale, è per lo meno auspicabile fornirne una decostruzione.
Architecture and Design for Industry 4.0
This book collects contributions of forefront research and practices related to the use of the enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 in the architecture and design fields and their impact on the UN's Sustainable Developments goals. The book is structured into three sections (research, practice, and technologies), with the goal of creating a new framework useful for widespread awareness necessary to initiate technology transfer processes for the benefit of the public sector, universities, research centers, and innovative companies, and a new professional figure capable of controlling the entire process is essential. Thus, the book chapters arouse a series of relevant topics such as computatio...
Proceedings of the 21st Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2021)
This book presents the proceedings of the 21st Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2021), held online on June 13-18, 2021. By highlighting the latest theories and models, as well as cutting-edge technologies and applications, and by combining findings from a range of disciplines including engineering, design, robotics, healthcare, management, computer science, human biology and behavioral science, it provides researchers and practitioners alike with a comprehensive, timely guide on human factors and ergonomics. It also offers an excellent source of innovative ideas to stimulate future discussions and developments aimed at applying knowledge and techniques to optimize sy...
RBAN CORPORIS ¥ THE CITY WITHIN
This pamphlet brings together the contributions of architects, researchers and artists from all over the world. The common ground of discussion is the city analyzed in its less explored "folds" becoming the ground for experimentation and research. These materials together do not want to give solutions but they want to ask new questions, being conscious that curisioty remains neces- sary for any kind of progress.
Obiettivo Periferico ¥ Visioni e previsioni sul futuro delle periferia urbana
Obiettivo Periferico mira a raccogliere e divulgare l'ampia visione eterogenea che articola il legame tra periferia e quello che viene comunemente identificato come centro cittadino. Per questo IUVAS promuove la raccolta e la pubblicazione di saggi volti all'analisi di quelle tematiche che, per importanza strategica e operativa, necessitano di essere divulgate ed approfondite dalla comunit scientifica e amministrativa. Professionisti ed esperti del settore potranno cosi
Advances in Human Factors in Architecture, Sustainable Urban Planning and Infrastructure
This book presents human factors research focused on achieving and assessing sustainability in the built environment and architecture. It reports on advanced engineering methods for architecture and design, and on assessments of the social, environmental, and economic impacts of various designs and projects. The book covers a broad range of practical studies relating to ergonomic design and assessment of public and private places, urban ecological constructions, and urban planning for smart city. Further topics include green area planning, environmentally-responsive architecture, and conservation and adaptation of vernacular architectures in modern design. Based on the AHFE 2021 Conference o...
