Censimento delle architetture Liberty nel territorio di Varese, Area nord, sentiero 10
No full textL’ indagine condotta sul territorio della Provincia di Varese al fine di individuare e censire gli edifici e
i manufatti architettonici Liberty ha avuto come oggetto il territorio attraversato dal Sentiero 10, file rouge dell’intero
progetto “Viaggiando Liberty”.
La scelta di lavorare su un’area limitata ha consentito di sperimentare un metodo di lavoro che permettesse di raccogliere
le informazioni necessarie verificandone l’efficacia prima di estenderlo, con gli affinamenti necessari, all’intero
ambito provinciale.
Fondamentali, per delineare un quadro quanto più completo possibile della realtà indagata, sono risultati essere sia la
conoscenza diretta del territorio sia lo studio di ogni forma di documentazione reperibile
Tipologie murarie e costruttive nei centri storici
No full textNell’ambito del progetto GNDT sul tema “Analisi di scenario nella Liguria occidentale e soluzioni per la conservazione dei centri storici“ si descrive l’applicazione di una procedura multidisciplinare, indirizzata ad una conoscenza articolata sia dei materiali, della morfologia, degli aspetti costruttivi degli elementi murari, sia del comportamento meccanico e dei possibili meccanismi di collasso di edifici posti in alcuni centri storici della Liguria occidentale. La Liguria occidentale è un’area di grande interesse sia per quanto riguarda la sua storia sismica sia anche a causa delle caratteristiche dei suoi edifici (Fig. 1) che presentano un certo grado di omogeneità e formano centri storici di rilevante valore storico e culturale. Scopo della ricerca è suggerire delle linee-guida per una procedura di indagine che possa orientare gli interventi sugli edifici storici verso il duplice obiettivo della sicurezza e della compatibilità
Vulnerability study in seismic areas: the role of on-site and archives investigation
No full textThe seismic response of old stone masonry buildings in Western Liguria is approached by a
multi-disciplinary view. The historical centers of Baiardo, Taggia and Bussana (Province of Imperia, Italy)
and others, still display signs of damage due to XIX century earthquakes, to which the problems of lack of
maintenance and, in many cases, of abandon have overlapped. A method for evaluating their seismic vulnerability
is proposed after: (i) a direct survey of the buildings (based on a stratigraphical survey and on a survey
of the crack patterns and of the wall sections), (ii) the collection of indirect information from documentary
sources, (iii) the collection of data recorded through in-situ non destructive or low destructive mechanical testing
and laboratory investigation aiming at the chemical, physical and mechanical characterization of masonry
components. The role of historical analysis will be shown as a basic source of knowledge of the structures for
the subsequent assessment of seismic vulnerability
Indagine conoscitiva, per l’analisi di vulnerabilità, di due centri storici liguri
No full textThe present paper describes the application of a multidisciplinary procedure aimed at an articulated knowledge both of the materials, the morphology, the constructive details of the masonry elements, and of the mechanical behaviour and the possible collapse mechanisms of buildings placed in some historic centres of western Liguria. Western Liguria is a greatly interesting area, considering both its seismic history, and the characteristics of its buildings. The historic centres of Bajardo, Taggia (Imperia) and other are still displaying the signs of damage suffered during the earthquake of 1887, to which the problems due to the lack of maintenance, and in many cases of abandon, have overlapped. Particular attention has been paid to monumental buildings and to residential buildings especially interesting due to the adopted constructive techniques and/or due to a complex constructive evolution in time
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
A Multi-level Approach for Damage Prevention in Seismic Areas. Application to Historic Centres of the Western Liguria
No full textA multi-disciplinary approach to the understanding of the seismic response of old stone masonry buildings in Western Liguria and to the evaluation of the reliability of retrofitting techniques is presented. This has been set up during a research carried out after the 1997 earthquake in Umbria. The historical centers of Baiardo and Taggia, (Province of Imperia, Italy) on which a new research has been recently started and others, still display signs of damage due to XIX century earthquakes, to which the problems of lack of maintenance and, in many cases, of abandon have overlapped. A method for evaluating their seismic vulnerability is proposed after: (i) a direct survey of the buildings (based on a stratigraphical survey and on a survey of the crack patterns and of the wall sections), (ii) the collection of indirect information from documentary sources, (iii) the collection of data recorded through in-situ non destructive or low destructive mechanical testing and laboratory investigation aiming at the chemical, physical and mechanical characterization of masonry components. The procedure aims at defining the possible mechanisms of failures under the seismic actions in order to apply appropriate mechanical models and to choose the most compatible techniques for prevention and repair
Structural Survey of a Chimney between XIX and XX Century
No full textCarlo Togliani si è occupato della ricerca d'archivio e ha scritto la parte storica (2. Historical evolution) alle pp. 202-204: The assessment of a 110 years old masonry chimney has been carried out through a multidisciplinary approach. The construction appertains to one of the most complete and better preserved example of workers and manufacturing settlement in southern Europe, and belongs to the Unesco World Heritage. The chimney, approximately 65 m high, is affected by a curvature of its upper part and shows a crack pattern characterized by vertical, horizontal and diagonal fissures. Aimed to its safety evaluation, a historical investigation has been carried out together with a geometrical survey through a laser scanner, a measurement of the out-of-plumb, the inspection of the crack pattern along the whole height and a numerical modelling
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
