Barnabas Calder, "Architettura ed energia. Dalla preistoria all’emergenza climatica", Einaudi, Torino 2022, 476 p.
No full text"Architettura ed energia. Dalla preistoria all’emergenza climatica" di Barnabas Calder, storico dell’architettura e Senior Lecturer presso l’Università di Liverpool, traccia un percorso diacronico attraverso le opere costruite dall’Uomo dalla sua comparsa sul pianeta all’oggi, dai rifugi delle popolazioni primitive alle megalopoli futuribili, con intento dichiaratamente pragmatico: diffondere la conoscenza dell’architettura, prescindendo dalla storiografia tradizionale degli ordini e degli stili
Ettore Sottsass and the Eco-Thought.
No full textThe historical, political, and cultural context which currently overwhelms mankind requires an urgent reflection on the protection of the ecosystem and an accurate restoration of the endangered balance between Nature and the artificial environment. In this framework, a reinterpretation of the remarkable research in the field of architecture, design, art and literature carried out by Ettore Sottsass Jr – a forerunner of eco-thought – could be helpful for the implementation of a more conscious and more far-sighted design practice. The aim of this submission is to study the means of expression of the architect-designer’s pioneering point of view; Sottsass was, in fact, a careful observer of the synchronic and symbiotic relationship between man and the Earth, which he explored especially in two groundbreaking writings: Graffi d’Amore sulla Pelle del Pianeta and Il Pianeta come Festival. Published in 1971 and 1972, shortly after the moon landing and shortly before the adoption of austerity policies due to the oil crisis, they both convey a timeless message sent to the younger generations, and inspired by countercultural values, Eastern philosophies, utopian architecture, scientific literature, as well as by science fiction cinema. Sottsass invites young people not to stiffen in tight productive schemes and to open themselves consciously to the knowledge of Nature, thus laying the foundation for an ante litteram sustainable logic, which is the focus of this submission
Bounding the HL-index of a graph: a majorization approach
No full textIn mathematical chemistry, the median eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a molecular graph are strictly related to orbital energies and molecular orbitals. In this regard, the difference between the occupied orbital of highest energy (HOMO) and the unoccupied orbital of lowest energy (LUMO) has been investigated (see Fowler and Pisansky in Acta Chim. Slov. 57:513-517, 2010). Motivated by the HOMO-LUMO separation problem, Jaklic et al. in (Ars Math. Contemp. 5:99-115, 2012) proposed the notion of HL-index that measures how large in absolute value are the median eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. Several bounds for this index have been provided in the literature. The aim of the paper is to derive alternative inequalities to
bound the HL-index. By applying majorization techniques and making use of some known relations, we derive new and sharper upper bounds for this index. Analytical and numerical results show the performance of these bounds on different classes of graphs

“SAVE OUR PLANET”. THE OLIVETTI COMPANY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS IN 1971
No full textIn September 1970, Arnold Glimcher, the founder of The Pace Gallery in New York City addressed a letter to Gianluigi Gabetti, the Olivetti Corporation of America’s chairperson at that time. Glimcher submitted a peculiar proposal to the Italian manager; he inquired, in fact, about the financial support of the Olivetti Corporation in promoting an atypical auteur advertising campaign, which would have involved six spokespersons for the art-world and would have been focused on a specific topic - the safeguard of Planet Earth.
On behalf of the Olivetti Company, Gabetti agreed to cover the costs of the operation, which was finally held in 1971, under the name of Save Our Planet. This campaign was brought to life by the likes of Buckminster Fuller, O'Keeffe, Lichtenstein, Calder, Steichen, and Trova: all of them designed one piece of a six-poster gallery, each one depicting an endangered scenario (the cities, the wildlife, the water, the air, the wilderness, and the people).
By the means of their own peculiar artwork, they conveyed an unequivocally clear message: to protect the Earth from the increasing outcome of the climate crisis (which had already arisen in the 1970’s, assuming early traits of a permanent state of emergency) artists had the ethical duty to raise environmental awareness amongst people. As a response to this firm call to action, the Olivetti Corporation donated all the retail revenues to the UN Children’s Fund and to several UN agencies aimed at containing in tangible terms the outburst of the climate crisis – especially in the developing Countries - and at forestalling further damage to the environment.
This submission is focused on the topicality of the artists’ warning and on the resoluteness of the Olivetti Corporation in giving shape to a world of objects designed by the community and for the community. These objects were not merely the result of the industrial production, but they embodied a philosophical approach to the industrial design matter, since they were calibrated to fit man’s gestures and movements, to meet his needs, and to fulfil his aspiration and his will, as an aware moral being
