Carte per la difesa. I disegni degli ingegneri militari negli archivi europei. Maps for defence.Military engineers' drawings in European archives
No full textIn the modern age, the history of the European city was heavily in uenced by the construction of forti cations. In the contemporary age, the demolition of the same forti cations has conditioned the city. Nowadays European military, state and municipal archives are the custodians of the many drawings that are testament to the ways in which the necessities of war shaped the city. This has become an important archival heritage that today ought to be rediscovered, promoted and re-evaluated. From the 15th century, the most important Italian cities used drawings for military, civic, planning and tax purposes. In the same years forti ed structures became fundamental in the defence strategy of the state, and were the direct cause of the ‘revolution' in the urban structure which at the time was still medieval. When an army attacked a city, it was necessary to know both the weak points and the strong points of the enemy

Integrating risk in project cost forecasting
Get PDFEstimating duration and cost at completion based on Earned Value Management (EVM) data and managing risk contingency accounts in ongoing projects are typically treated by both scholars and practitioners as separate processes of project monitoring. However, project risk is claimed to significantly impact on project schedule and cost performance. As an attempt to combine these two management areas, the paper illustrates a methodology for improved schedule-based cost estimates at completion with the added nonlinear profile of risk contingency cost consumption. In particular, the model builds upon a Gompertz S-curve shaped cost profile equation. The model is applied to a sample of real project datasets. Its estimate accuracy and stability are tested at various early, middle, and late stages of project development. The proposed schedule-cost-risk estimate methodology proves to be a viable and effective tool to compute refined estimates at completion of complex projects involving formal management of contingency escrow accounts. The theoretical contribution is about creating a stronger connection between EVM and risk contingency management theories. Practical implications are inherent with the ability of the methodology to integrate cost contingency (CC) management into cost and schedule monitoring processe

Get PDFBuilding upon the implementation of EBPD recast in the large majority of EU Member States, this paper studied how far cost-optimality is from the Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) performance level for an Italian Reference Hotel (RH) undergoing major renovations. The energy performances of retrofit options for the RH were compared with the Italian NZEB requirements. Simulations results confirmed that the Italian NZEB target is reachable. However, the financial analysis of these retrofit options denounced a worrying gap between financially interesting solutions and NZEB ones. Then, through a novel comfort-optimal approach, the comfort-related consequences of the proposed retrofit options were investigated
