Life Inside the Cloister
Sacred architecture as reality and metaphor in secularised Western society Christian monasteries and convents, built throughout Europe for the best part of 1,500 years, are now at a crossroads. This study attempts to understand the sacred architecture of monasteries as a process of the tangible and symbolic organisation of space and time for religious communities. Despite the weight of seemingly immutable monastic tradition, architecture has contributed to developing specific religious identities and played a fundamental part in the reformation of different forms of religious life according to the changing needs of society. The cloister is the focal point of this book because it is both architecture, a physically built reality, and a metaphor for the religious life that takes place within it. Life Inside the Cloister also addresses the afterlife and heritagisation of monastic architecture in secularised Western society.
Placemaking and Cultural Landscapes
Placemaking and cultural landscapes are worldwide multidisciplinary global concerns that cover many points of view of the common impacts of socio-economic cultural and rights jurisprudence planning, wellbeing and related advancements. Concerned with the complex interactions between the development and environment of those factors, it is important to seek ways, paths and implications for framing sustainability in all social activities. This book is mostly based on the 10th ACLA – Asian Cultural Landscape Association International Webinar Symposium that took place during September 26–27, 2020, in the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. It examines contemporary social–cultural issu...

Regenerating Cultural Religious Heritage
This book introduces important reflections on understanding the meaning of cultural-religious heritage in an international context and their relationship with issues of sustainability at the local community level. Through a holistic approach, the book charts new courses in analyzing different cultural policies and methods for preserving and enhancing cultural heritage. Stemming from an intercultural seminar promoted by the International Scientific Committee Places of Religion and Ritual (ICOMOS PRERICO) under the theme of “Reuse and regenerations of cultural-religious heritage in the world: Comparison among cultures,” the book examines the scientific diplomacy and cultural strategies pro...
Kermes 94/95
Numero doppio, 160 pagine, cm21x29,7, brossura, illustrato a colori, anno 2015 Questo numero speciale di Kermes, nell’ambito delle celebrazioni per il 350° anniversario della morte di Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), esce in concomitanza con la mostra ‘Poussin et Dieu’ che il Musée du Louvre presenta nella primavera del 2015. Omaggio al ‘pittore-filosofo’, il volume si pone quale strumento scientifico di riferimento che riporta lo stato dell’arte a livello internazionale negli studi tecnici poussiniani e accompagna la mostra come adeguato complemento al catalogo per la comprensione scientifica delle tematiche. La pubblicazione è stata l’occasione per attivare un dibattito intern...
I buoni progetti di restauro: conservazione, adeguamento, riuso. Atti dell’VIII Convegno Nazionale ARCo
L’VIII Convegno Nazionale ARCo è stato dedicato alla riflessione sullo stato della pratica del restauro del patrimonio architettonico, con speciale riguardo alle sue criticità attuali, con una sezione dedicata ad illustrare interventi di restauro svolti, o in corso di svolgimento, che potessero offrire la rappresentazione dello stato dell’arte nel campo della conservazione, del restauro, in Italia e anche fuori dal nostro paese. Hanno preso parte alla discussione professionisti, liberi o appartenenti al MiBACT, agli Enti Locali, ad altre istituzioni pubbliche e private, comunque attivi nella pratica del restauro e del riuso funzionale, che hanno presentato i propri progetti e riflettuto sui temi del recupero del patrimonio architettonico storico percepito nella sua interezza di forma e di sostanza. A partire dall’inscindibilità degli aspetti architettura e materia l’ARCo ha concentrato la propria attività sul tema del recupero e del restauro svolgendo un ruolo pioneristico nello studio, nella rivalutazione e nel ri-accreditamento delle tecniche premoderne nel cantiere di restauro per ogni aspetto costruttivo, incluse le opere di prevenzione sismica.
Historical Buildings and Energy
This book provides a methodological framework to set properly the thermal enhancement and energy efficiency in historical buildings during a renovation process. It describes the unique thermal features of historical properties, closely examining how the building materials, structural elements, and state of conservation can impact energy efficiency, including sample calculations and results. It also describes means and aims of several fundamental steps to improve energy efficiency in historical buildings with an experimentation on a case study. This timely text also introduces leading-edge technologies for enhancing the energy performance of historical buildings, including the potential for integration of co- ad tri-generation though micro-turbines, photovoltaics and solar collectors and their compatibility with architectural preservation.
