International Relations and Heritage
Patchwork in times of plurality encompasses the multitude of actions as a revealing symbol of ethos, actors, organisms, and manifestations of preservation and dialogue frontiers. This plural metaphor, almost like a patchwork, aggregates and yet segregates, conforms, but disfigures, and boosts the meanings which represent this new field that international relations have been recently crossing. Just like the mirror metaphor - that reflects everything to all and, sometimes, intervenes in distortions - the patchwork analogy allowed the book to take responsibility for the disclosure of preservation actions on a global scale. The book has a pioneering role insofar since it is the only publication ...
Designing Landscape Architectural Education
No single project or endeavour is immune to the issues that the climate crisis brings. The climate crisis encompasses a broad register of "symptoms" – increased global temperatures and sea-level rise, droughts and extreme bushfire events, salinification and desertification of fertile land, and the list goes on. It reveals and amplifies complex causal relationships that are inherently present and traverse scales, sectors and communities divulging a range of impacts and inequalities. This publication asks designers and academic practitioners to describe their own work through an ecological lens, and then to articulate design approaches for developing new practices in landscape architecture t...

On Amistà
Although we often think of friendship today as an indisputable value of human social life, for thinkers and writers across late medieval Christian society friendship raised a number of social and ethical dilemmas that needed to be carefully negotiated. On Amistà analyses these dilemmas and looks at how Dante’s strategic articulations of friendship evolved across the phases of his literary career as he manoeuvred between different social groups and settings. Elizabeth Coggeshall reveals that friendship was not an unequivocal moral good for the writers of late medieval Italy. Instead, it was an ambiguous term to be deployed strategically, describing a wide range of social relationships such...
Labor Divided
By examining the Italian labor movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, this book seeks to determine how trade unions set policy positions and strategic agenda in a rapidly changing economic and political environment.
Unions, Change and Crisis
First published in 1982, Unions, Change and Crisis represents the first detailed, comparative, historical and theoretically grounded study of two of the major trade union movements of Europe. It brings together the results of the first part of the first major study from Harvard University’s Centre for European Studies. The book explores, first individually and then comparatively, the evolution of the French and Italian Union movements through the end of the 1970s. It will be of particular interest for students of trade unions, industrial relations and political economy in France and Italy, but also those interested in the comparative analysis of advanced industrial democracies more generally.
Dubai Amplified
Following the British withdrawal in 1971, the Gulf Region entered a heady period of political restructuring, awash with oil money that helped fund national aspirations. Infrastructure investment became a central part of the region's nation-building initiatives and fueled strong competition. Without its neighbours' oil fields, infrastructure and territorial development became particularly vital to Dubai. This book provides a unique and detailed understanding of Dubai urbanism by demonstrating that cumulative programmatic intensification and scalar amplification of its large-scale infrastructural components guided its metropolitan growth and generated a territorial organization logic that outs...
Eisenman 1960/1990
Peter Eisenman è uno tra i maggiori architetti contemporanei. Il suo lavoro ha dato forma dagli anni '60 ad un percorso continuo di ricerca che, contrariamente ad ogni altra esperienza del secondo novecento, si è sempre rifiutato di chiudersi in una 'poetica' consolidata ed ha invece accettato la sfida delle trasformazioni epocali che hanno mutato il mondo: da Hiroshima alla rivoluzione telematica, dalla fine del futuro alla globalizzazione, l'architettura di Eisenman si è sempre proposta interprete dello zeitgeist contemporaneo. Accettandone le continue trasformazioni e muovendosi senza sosta alla ricerca dei referenti (dalla linguistica trasformazionale alla teoria delle catastrofi, dai frattali alla matematica boleana ...) che sembravano volta per volta le migliori chiavi interpretative di quei mutamenti, Eisenman ha prodotto un'architettura di incessante sperimentazione che tra idealità e disincanto, aspirazione all'uno e coscienza del molteplice.
