ENERGY IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT CONFERENCE. Climate-driven solutions for next generation EU cities
No full textThe Energy in Built Environment Conference posters booklet is a comprehensive compilation of knowledge and insights shared during the inspiring event Energy in Built Environment Conference: Climate-driven solutions for next generation EU cities, held in Lisbon on 30th June 2023. This PED-EU-NET conference brought together leading experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry players to explore climate-driven solutions for the next generation EU cities.
With a primary focus on Positive Energy Districts, this booklet delves into the complex interaction between buildings, users, regional energy networks, mobility, and ICT systems. Through these contributions, the reader will discover an array of strategies, technologies, and collaborative efforts proposed through different works and studies, aiming at shaping the future of sustainable urban development.
The posters presented in this booklet demonstrate the transformative potential of creating energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and thriving cities for generations to come. The authors extend their invitation to join in the exploration of the forefront of positive change and pave the way towards a brighter and more sustainable urban future
Riqualificazione paesaggistica e land art per il recupero ambientale. Design out waste in Landscape Architecture and Land Art
No full textIt was not until the second half of the XX century that artists and designers, with a
growing awareness of environmental issues, refocused attention on the multiple
relationships between waste management, public awareness, and aesthetics. Artists
and designers began to challenge traditional limits and started considering landfills
as settings of artwork, sport and recreation facilities, eye-catching monuments in the
landscape. This contribution discusses people’s changing attitudes toward waste and
illustrates international best practices of “Design Out Waste” in landscape architecture
and land art. The emergence of contemporary projects dealing with waste landscapes
is presented through a twofold analysis of contemporary waste-related design and art
projects. On the one hand, innovative ap-proaches that transform existing waste and
landfills into productive, safe, inviting, and publicly accessible green infrastructure. On
the other hand, post-industrial sites able to bring people closer to landfills and facilities
by integrating educational, sport and recreational activities within the everyday urban
environment. The two approaches represent ways to develop workable strategies
aimed at transforming the liability of waste management into socially attractive
assets in which everyone participates. New York City “Per-cent for Art” program is
a design reclamation project for Fresh Kills Landfill, a 900-hectare site and largest
landfill in the nation. Under the roof of the former pithead bath at the Zollverein
colliery, in the Ruhr District, PACT has created a space for lively encounters and
exchange between actions, experience and theoretical discourse which supports and
forges long term co-operative practices and partnerships. Another project, a flattopped
brown mound, known as Hiriya, is located on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, just by
Ben-Gurion International Airport: the landscape park, designed by the German
landscape architect Peter Latz, is named after the iconoclastic soldier and statesman,
farmer and for-mer prime minister, Ariel Sharon. Hiriya is set to become an
environmental beacon and a theme park on recycling for children, tapping into a
global concern
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
