Narrative as a design tool in marginal landscapes
No full textThe focus of the research is to investigate the effectiveness of possible
design methods and tools when related to
marginal contexts. Taking advantage of my
previous and ongoing experiences herein I
firstly debate my experience of "Spectacular
Courtyard’ in San Siro social housing
neighborhood, as my position project. This
experience identifies the horizon of meaning
of my research, by pointing out the need of

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
Miaw Papers. Writing Architecture
No full textFor architects, writing and publishing activities are, at least from Vitruvius’ times, extremely important. In architecture, the book always was and is an essential instrument of knowledge, of technical and cultural exchange, and often can be also something more, an artwork which acquires a relevance comparable with the built work, acting as a key work in the architectural scenario.
Nowadays, websites, social networks and blogs are dramatically changing the cultural frame of architecture and writing rises, for a huge number of architects, a constant and absorbing activity to be made on a daily base. Articles, discussions, chats, images of projects and buildings accompany every part of our daily and night time, of our work and domestic space. Writing, evolving in something o completely new and different, is again the main vector, a medium that is receiving a strong implementation exactly because of the overdevelopment of the electronic field which, on the other hand, is probably going to kill the traditional formats like books and magazines
