Transforming Our World Through Universal Design for Human Development
An environment, or any building product or service in it, should ideally be designed to meet the needs of all those who wish to use it. Universal Design is the design and composition of environments, products, and services so that they can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people, regardless of their age, size, ability or disability. It creates products, services and environments that meet people’s needs. In short, Universal Design is good design. This book presents the proceedings of UD2022, the 6th International Conference on Universal Design, held from 7 - 9 September 2022 in Brescia, Italy. The conference is targeted at professionals and academics ...
The Future of Heritage Science and Technologies
This book gathers a selection of contributions dealing with the application of mechanical engineering for preserving and managing cultural heritage. It covers advanced techniques for 3D survey, modeling and simulation, reconstruction, data management as well as advanced diagnostics and testing methods. It highlights strategies to foster sustainability, inclusivity, energy saving and waste reuse in preventive conservation of historical buildings and sculptures, and large heritage sites. Based on contributions presented at the 3rd Florence Heri-Tech International Conference, held on May, 16-18, 2022, in Firenze, Italy, this book offers a timely source of information concerning engineering methods in heritage for both researchers and professionals in the field.
Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices
Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices explores how the changing modes of representation in architecture and urbanism relate to the transformation of how the addressees of architecture and urbanism are conceived. The book diagnoses the dominant epistemological debates in architecture and urbanism during the 20th and 21st centuries. It traces their transformations, paying special attention to Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s preference for perspective representation, to the diagrams of Team 10 architects, to the critiques of functionalism, and the upgrade of the artefactual value of architectural drawings in Aldo Rossi, John Hejduk, Peter Eisenman, and Oswald Mathias Ung...
Townscapes in Transition
How did urban Italy come to look the way it does today? This collection of essays assembles recent studies in architectural history and theory exploring the historical paradigms guiding architecture and landscape design between the world wars. The authors explore physical changes in townscapes and landscapes, covering a wide range of architectural designs from strict modernist solutions to variations of regionalism, mediterraneanism and national style from all over Italy. Specifically, the volume explains how conservation, restoration and town planning for historic areas led to the production of heritage, and elucidates the role played by architects like Marcello Piacentini, Innocenzo Sabbatini, Mario De Renzi and Giulio Ulisse Arata.
Città e guerra : difese, distruzioni, permanenze delle memorie e dell’immagine urbana. Tomo II : tracce e patrimoni
[Italiano]: In un momento così significativo per la storia europea e mondiale, questo volume vuole essere la raccolta di riflessioni scientifiche condotte sui rapporti tra le scelte politiche, le azioni militari e la fisionomia delle città e del paesaggio urbano, sull’evoluzione delle strutture e delle tecniche di difesa, sulla rappresentazione della guerra e dei suoi effetti sull’immagine urbana, sul recupero delle tracce della memoria cittadina. Da una parte il campo delle Digital Humanities apre nuove prospettive per studiare l'immagine della città prima, durante e dopo la guerra, dall’altro le tecnologie digitali impegnano studiosi e ricercatori di varie discipline: in particola...
The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture
Today, nearly a century after the National Fascist Party came to power in Italy, questions about the built legacy of the regime provoke polemics among architects and scholars. Mussolini’s government constructed thousands of new buildings across the Italian Peninsula and islands and in colonial territories. From hospitals, post offices and stadia to housing, summer camps, Fascist Party Headquarters, ceremonial spaces, roads, railways and bridges, the physical traces of the regime have a presence in nearly every Italian town. The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture investigates what has become of the architectural and urban projects of Italian fascism, how sites have been tra...
Riverine
Riverscapes are the main arteries of the world’s largest cities, and have, for millennia, been the lifeblood of the urban communities that have developed around them. These human settlements – given life through the space of the local waterscape – soon developed into ritualised spaces that sought to harness the dynamism of the watercourse and create the local architectural landscape. Theorised via a sophisticated understanding of history, space, culture, and ecology, this collection of wonderful and deliberately wide-ranging case studies, from Early Modern Italy to the contemporary Bengal Delta, investigates the culture of human interaction with rivers and the nature of urban topography. Riverine explores the ways in which architecture and urban planning have imbued cultural landscapes with ritual and structural meaning.
LA CITTÀ PALINSESTO/II. Tracce, sguardi e narrazioni sulla complessità dei contesti urbani storici: Rappresentazione, conoscenza, conservazione
[Italiano]: Questo volume accoglie le più recenti riflessioni attorno ai necessari fondamenti, teorici e di pensiero, nonché gli aspetti tecnici, artistici, tecnologici che portano a concepire la città e il paesaggio come palinsesto figurativo e fenomenologico. Città e paesaggio, infatti, continuamente soggetti a operazioni di cancellature e riscritture – in termini di progetto e restauro, di tutela e valorizzazione, di disegno e ridisegno – sono i testimoni visivi di come appare a noi il palinsesto oggi, grazie al connubio sempre più stretto fra tecnologie e strumenti di visione, in un’ottica proiettiva e trasformativa fortemente relazionale./[English]: This volume contains the m...
Centri storici, digitalizzazione e restauro
La Carta del Rischio per i Centri Storici del Ministero della Cultura vuole garantire la conservazione e il governo dell’edilizia storica diffusa e fa riferimento a premesse culturali, finalità e potenzialità qui sintetizzate con l’ausilio di rimandi bibliografici. Il gruppo di ricerca di Sapienza Università di Roma lavora da tempo in maniera congiunta sullo sviluppo del sistema digitale curandone l’efficacia dal punto di vista del restauro architettonico e della digitalizzazione. Si presentano in questa sede le norme relative a due delle sei schede della CdR (Centro Storico e Unità Urbana-Aggregato), così da favorire una compilazione coerente ed efficace, e quattro schede da campo (CS, UU-A, Unità Urbana-Edilizia Puntuale Residenziale o Specialistica, Fronte Edilizio), in modo da ampliare i contenuti illustrati. Vengono poi approfondite due componenti fondamentali del sistema, costituite da vocabolari, algoritmi, e le problematiche legate alla schedatura delle Unità Urbane e dei Fronti Edilizi.
