e188 | Riviste di architettura. Traiettorie
The present issue of “La Rivista di Engramma” is dedicated to the topic of the architecture journal, a sector that is in transformation, and the centre of ongoing debate. In the current historical moment – where digital platforms allow a sort of happy anarchy for unfiltered information about the architectural culture and each architect, studio or group can build the communication from their own experience in the professional field without great constraints of budget and time – what remains of the architecture journal? What is its goal: information, communication, architectural criticism or something else? What kind of problems do architecture journals face today? Have they accepted t...
Thriller tra i banchi
Questo e-book è il risultato del progetto "GialloLuna va a scuola", realizzato nell'anno scolastic0 2015/2016 al Liceo Scientifico "Alfredo Oriani" di Ravenna. Il progetto ha cercato di stimolare i ragazzi alla lettura, facendoli accostare a quelle forme letterarie che oggi hanno più “fascino”, perché trovano corrispettivi nelle fiction televisive o cinematografiche. Il poliziesco, quindi, o thriller, o giallo che dir si voglia. Al centro di tutto c’è stato un concorso di scrittura: l’obiettivo era scrivere un racconto poliziesco. Questo e-book, realizzato in occasione della quattordicesima edizione del Festival di letteratura di genere GialloLuna NeroNotte, contiene i racconti selezionati per la pubblicazione.
MIAW 2021
The MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the Politecnico di Milano – School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, that provides an international design forum for schools, teachers, and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss issues and share ambitions that education implies. It aims to stimulate cross-over thinking between researchers and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. The MIAW 2021 edition focused on the 2026 Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina. The workshop experimented with new design approaches to make the Olympic Games physically responsible, socially sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
Mapping Urban Spaces
Mapping Urban Spaces focuses on medium-sized European cities and more specifically on their open spaces from psychological, sociological, and aesthetic points of view. The chapters illustrate how the characteristics that make life in medium-sized European cities pleasant and sustainable – accessibility, ease of travel, urban sustainability, social inclusiveness – can be traced back to the nature of that space. The chapters develop from a phenomenological study of space to contributions on places and landscapes in the city. Centralities and their meaning are studied, as well as the social space and its complexity. The contributions focus on history and theory as well as concrete research and mapping approaches and the resulting design applications. The case studies come from countries around Europe including Poland, Italy, Greece, Germany, and France, among others. The book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture.
The Greenhouse Gas Balance of Italy
The book addresses in a comprehensive way the full greenhouse gases budget of the Italian landscape, focusing on land use and terrestrial ecosystems. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the role of terrestrial ecosystems with regard to the carbon cycle and only recently a regional approach has been considered for its specificity in terms of new methodologies for observations and models and its relevance for national policies on mitigation and adaptation to climate changes. In terms of methods this book describes the role of flux networks and data-driven models, airborne regional measurements of fluxes and specific sectoral approaches related to important components of the hu...
Forests, Trees and Human Health
The link between modern lifestyles and increasing levels of chronic heart disease, obesity, stress and poor mental health is a concern across the world. The cost of dealing with these conditions places a large burden on national public health budgets so that policymakers are increasingly looking at prevention as a cost-effective alternative to medical treatment. Attention is turning towards interactions between the environment and lifestyles. Exploring the relationships between health, natural environments in general, and forests in particular, this groundbreaking book is the outcome of the European Union’s COST Action E39 ‘Forests, Trees and Human Health and Wellbeing’, and draws together work carried out over four years by scientists from 25 countries working in the fields of forestry, health, environment and social sciences. While the focus is primarily on health priorities defined within Europe, this volume explicitly draws also on research from North America.
Exuberant Apotheoses: Italian Frescoes in the Holy Roman Empire
From the late seventeenth through the mid-eighteenth centuries, large-scale Italian frescoes soared in popularity as nobles in the German principalities of the Holy Roman Empire constructed new palaces at an unprecedented rate. They competed with one another to produce lavish decorative schemes that expressed their claim to princely power and political authority. Whereas previous art historians have primarily focused on iconographic and stylistic issues and generally treated these programs as individual commissions of regional courts, this book places the works of art within their broad cultural and historical contexts during the Enlightenment. This monograph explains how rulers gradually shifted from emphasizing military heroism to stressing their cultivation of the arts and sciences, and addresses how expressing membership in a specifically European civilization emerged as an integral visual theme and a key ambition of the German nobility.
