As many translocal and cross-border traders, mukheristas cover thousands of miles every week to supply urban markets, thus feeding themselves, their families and the cities they connect.
After an intensive field work travelling with mukheristas between Maputo (Mozambique) and Johannesburg (South Africa), the author shows the role of complex hybrid practices of trans-local mobility in shaping cities and territories in sub-saharan Africa.
A "research on the road" to reflect on the political relevance of informal mobile practices in troubled urban societies, but also on new theoretical concepts and empirical research approaches.
In a world where change is extremely rapid and new issues emerge unremittingly, 'Mobile urbanity' opens up new ways of thinking the spatial dimensions and the agency embraced in human mobility

The development of Bad Nauheim as jugendstil spa complex
No full textThe buildings of the spa complex at Bad Nauheim (Germany) are among the most important examples of Jugendstil architecture in the world, but the place or the architect Wilhelm Jost are not mentioned in scientific works.
Salt water springs in this area were already exploited by the Celts and the Romans. The village of salt producers began to change into a spa in the first half of the 19th century, when the curative power of the salt water from wells was recognized.
At the beginning of 1900, changed hygienic and aesthetic ideas and expectations required the construction of new bathhouses. At that time, Bad Nauheim belonged to the Grand Duchy Assia-Darmstadt. The Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hessen had commissioned artist of Jugendstil to decorate rooms of his New Palace in Darmstadt, and had summoned seven artists of Darmstadt to found an artist’s colony. The new spa complex of Bad Nauheim absorbed the ideas emanating from Darmstadt, and the layout of the whole town was arranged according to the modern precepts of Darmstadt Jugendstil.
The paper describes the transformations and reuse of Bad Nauheim until nowadays, and analyzes typologies and decorative motives of the spa complex, excellent example of early Jugendstil in Germany, from the point of view both of history of architecture (Elena Manzo) and geometrical and morphological analysis of elements (Manuela Piscitelli)

Introduzione ad AWDA 2
No full textIl progetto di AWDA, Aiap Women in Design Award, ha una storia lunga e radici profonde, nasce nel 2009 da un’idea di Laura Moretti, si configura nel 2012 come Premio biennale a cura di Cinzia Ferrara, Daniela Piscitelli e Laura Moretti, diventa nel 2015 internazionale e si prepara ad assumere una dimensione mondiale con la terza edizione del 2017 includendo nella curatela anche Carla Palladino. L’intento del progetto, che affronta un tema importante e ancora poco indagato come quello del design della comunicazione visiva declinato al femminile, non è quello di esaminare un’area protetta, o ricercare peculiarità che caratterizzano una metodologia di progetto al femminile, quanto quello di attraversare un territorio scoprendone le diversità in ogni lembo, date da profonde differenze che derivano dalle diversità di provenienze geografiche, formazioni, committenze pubbliche e private, tessuti sociali nei quali le designer vivono e lavorano.AWDA, Aiap Women in Design Award, has a long history and deep roots: in 2009 it was only Laura Moretti’s idea, in 2012 it took shape as a biennial Award curated by Cinzia Ferrara, Daniela Piscitelli and Laura Moretti, in 2015 it became international – the first step towards the worldwide dimension it would achieve in its third edition, 2017, when Carla Palladino joined the team of curators. The aim of the project, which tackles the important, though still under-explored theme of visual communication design from the perspective of women, is not to examine a protected area, or to search for peculiarities characterising women’s design methodology, but rather to travel across a territory, trying to discover its diversity at every step, by identifying a number of differences resulting from different geographical and educational backgrounds, private or public clients, social contexts in which the designers live and work
