Landscape Lab
This book explores the relationship between the sciences of representation and the strategy of landscape valorisation. The topic is connected to the theme of the image of the city, which is extended to the territory scale and applied to case studies in Italy’s Umbria region, where the goal is to strike a dynamic balance between cultural heritage and nature. The studies demonstrate how landscape represents an interpretive process of finding meaning, a product of the relationships between mankind and the places in which it lives. The work proceeds from the assumption that it is possible to describe these connections between environment, territory and landscape by applying the Vitruvian triad, composed of Firmitas (solidity), Utilitas (utility) and Venustas(beauty). The environment, the sum of the conditions that influence all life, represents the place’s solidity, because it guarantees its survival. In turn, territory is connected to utility, and through its etymological meaning is linked to possession, to a domain; while landscape, as an “area perceived by people”, expresses the search for beauty in a given place, the process of critically interpreting a vision.
Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools
Visual computing and descriptive geometry are multidisciplinary fields addressing the handling of images, 3D models, and other computer graphics. These ideas are experiencing a revival due to emergent technologies and applications available to developers. Based in traditional forms of design and architecture, these fields are currently experiencing a bounty of new research based on old principles. The Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools seeks to add to this knowledge base by considering these technologies from a designer’s perspective rather than reiterating the principles of computer science. It combines aspects of geometry and representation with emerging tools for CAD, generation, and visualization while addressing the digital heritage of such fields. This book is an invaluable resource for developers, students of both graphic and computer-generated design, researchers, and designers.
Fabricate 2014
FABRICATE is an international peer reviewed conference that takes place every three years with a supporting publication on the theme of Digital Fabrication. Discussing the progressive integration of digital design with manufacturing processes, and its impact on design and making in the 21st century, FABRICATE brings together pioneers in design and making within architecture, construction, engineering, manufacturing, materials technology and computation. Discussion on key themes includes: how digital fabrication technologies are enabling new creative and construction opportunities from component to building scales, the difficult gap that exists between digital modelling and its realisation, material performance and manipulation, off-site and on-site construction, interdisciplinary education, economic and sustainable contexts. FABRICATE features cutting-edge built work from both academia and practice, making it a unique event that attracts delegates from all over the world. FABRICATE 2011, 2014 and 2017 are now all available to download free from UCL Press.

La Tradizione Ermetica
L'alchimia, strettamente connessa con l'ermetismo e la tradizione ermetico-alchemica, che dal periodo alessandrino si è continuata fin sulle soglie del mondo moderno, riguarda essenzialmente un insegnamento iniziatico esposto usando il simbolismo di metalli e di trasmutazioni dei metalli. Quest'opera di Julius Evola espone in modo sistematico, con costanti e numerosissimi riferimenti alle fonti, la tradizione ermetico-alchemica secondo questo aspetto essenziale. Essa si distingue nettamente da altri tentativi di interpretazione dell'alchimia, quali quelli dello Jung e del Silberer, perché non si tratta tanto di interpretazioni psicologiche e tanto meno psicanalitiche, ma si considerano realtà ben più profonde, legate agli insegnamenti tradizionali e alla concezione generale del mondo e dell'essere umano posta come base all'insieme delle dottrine esoteriche e misteriosofiche, occidentali non meno che orientali.
