DiAP nel mondo | DiAP in the world – International Vision | Visioni internazionali
International openness is one of the fundamental characteristics of the DiAP Department of Architecture and Design, which sees its members active in 57 bilateral collaboration agreements (without counting the Erasmus agreements) with countries in which today there is a demand for architectural design that looks at Italy as a model, not only for studies of historical architecture, but also for contemporary architecture designed in the existing city and for the new building, including complex landscape and environmental systems.
Roma: cosmo materia cultura (b&w)
Tre saggi caratterizzano il volume. Il primo è di Giovanna De Sanctis Ricciardone, una personalità che ha attraversato gli ultimi cinquant'anni di lavoro nella città di Roma nel campo dell'architettura, della politica e dell'arte. Il secondo è di Luigi Franciosini che rappresenta una figura di spicco nel rapporto tra stratificazioni storiche e progettazione architettonica. Il terzo è di Antonino Saggio, studioso dei rapporti tra informatica e architettura e coordinatore del Dottorato di ricerca in Architettura - Teoria e Progetto. I diversi saggi illuminano con angolature diverse e personali alcuni aspetti della progettazione contemporanea. Undici architetti iscritti al Dottorato intessono relazioni tra il proprio lavoro e le tematiche illustrate."Roma Cosmo Materia Cultura" fornisce in definitiva un'apertura non convenzionale, ma ricca di spunti e tematiche molto pertinenti in particolare alla città di Roma, alla sua storia e ai sui suoi sviluppi futuri.
La Città Altra. Storia E Immagine Della Diversità Urbana: Luoghi E Paesaggi Dei Privilegi E Del Benessere, Dell'isolamento, Del Disagio, Della Multiculturalità. Ediz. Italiana E Inglese
This volume proposes a rich corpus of papers about the 'Other City', a subject only few times dealt with, but worthy of all our attention: it imposes itself on the scene of international modern and contemporary historiography for its undeniable topicality. Throughout history, the city has always had to deal with social 'otherness', i.e. with class privileges and, consequently, with discrimination and marginalization of minorities, of the less well-off, of foreigners, in short, with the differences in status, culture, religion. So that the urban fabric has ended up structuring itself also in function of those inequalities, as well as of the strategic places for the exercise of power, of the p...

Knowledge Democracy
Knowledge democracy is an emerging concept that addresses the relationships between knowledge production and dissemination, as well as the functions of the media and democratic institutions. Although democracy has been the most successful concept of governance for societies for the last two centuries, representative democracy, which became the hallmark of advanced nation-states, seems to be in decline. Media politics is an important factor in the downfall of the original meaning of representation, yet more direct forms of democracy have not yet found an institutional embedding. Further, the Internet has also drastically changed the rules of the game, and a better educated public has broad access to information, selects for itself which types to examine, and ignores media filters. Some citizens have even become "media" themselves. In a time where the political agendas are filled with combatting so-called evils, new designs for the relationships between science, politics and media are needed. This book outlines the challenges entailed in pursuing a vital knowledge democracy.
Steven Holl
Steven Holl is revered among architects and students for his quiet and consistent modernist buildings. His reputation among generations of students was cemented during his early tenure at Columbia University and his founding of Storefront for Art and Architecture. His Pamphlet Architecture series furthered his standing as a leader of the avant-garde. With his embrace of computer technology, Holl smoothly transitioned from the 1980s into the digital design era of the 1990s. At the same time, his practice expanded globally and his housing projects in Japan opened to international acclaim. Recently, the ultramodern design of his Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art earned high praise for its revitalizing influence on Helsinki's city center. Remarkably, this monograph is the only book available that documents Holl's full career, covering his early houses of the 1970s to his latest designs for museums currently under construction.
