No full textLo spazio domestico e i caratteri dei luoghi : l'area dell'Abbazia di San Vito a Polignano a mare
No full textNel progetto sviluppato sull'area dell'Abbazia di San Vito a Polignano da alcuni docenti del Politecnico di Bari e della Bilkent University di Ankara, è stato compiuto un lavoro di "rammento" del disperso agglomerato di case esistenti. Un esercizio di sano "realismo". Non si è immaginato cosa l'area di San Vito avrebbe potuto essere, né ciò che, secondo il nostro giudizio, potrebbe diventare. Ma si è voluto dare valore a tutto ciò che esiste, per trasformare questi manufatti sparsi in un piccolo organismo urbano che si rapporta alle emergenze naturali e architettoniche: l'insenatura del mare con la possente massa dell'Abbazia e la torre saracena, e la bellissima campagna intorno miracolosamente protetta. Occorre, in tal modo, "ri-costruire" il luogo
Energy-aware Software
No full textLuca Ardito has focused his PhD on studying how to identify and to reduce the energy consumption caused by software. The project concentrates on the application level, with an experimental approach to discover and modify characteristics that waste energy. We can define five research goals:
RG1. Is it possible to measure the energy consumption of an application? Measuring the energy consumption of an electronic device (PC, mobile phone, etc.) is straightforward, but several applications coexist on it, possibly with very different energy needs. Usage profiles for applications are certainly important too. We will consider the most common platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac Osx).
RG2. Could Energy Efficiency be considered as a software non-
functional requirement? Research has increasingly focused on improving the Energy Efficiency of hardware, but the literature still lacks in quantifying accurately the energy impact of software. This research goal is strictly related to the following one.
RG3. Is it possible to profile the energy consumption of a software application? An empirical experiment could assess quantitatively the energetic impact of software usage by building up common application usage scenarios and executing them independently to collect power consumption data.
RG4. Is there a relationship between the way a program is written and its energy consumption? The same application, at the code level, can be written in different ways. Here the question is if the different ways have impact on energy consumption. The code should be considered at two levels: source code (programmer) and object code/byte code (compiler).
RG5. Is it possible to use the energy consumption information to
trigger self-adaptation? A software application could automatically modify its behaviour in order to reduce its energy consumption
Aris Konstantinidis. Lo spazio mitico, lo spazio elementare, lo spazio collettivo
No full textIl saggio ripercorre le traiettorie di ricerca dell'architetto greco Aris Kostantinidis, con particolare riferimento alle opere realizzate sullo spazio domestico mediterraneo. Le tematiche affrontate dal maestro riguardano il rapporto tra autorialità e linguaggio spontaneo della tradizione, il carattere di mediterraneità dell'abitare domestico, la costruzione come linguaggio
