    Officina IUAV, 1925-1980. Saggi sulla scuola di architettura di Venezia

    No full text
    A circa ottanta anni di distanza dalla nascita della scuola superiore in architettura sono qui raccolti studi e ricerche attorno alle vicende della cosiddetta “scuola di Venezia”. Sotto la direzione di Giuseppe Samonà (1949-1971), insegnano presso la Facoltà di Architettura alcuni tra i più reputati architetti provenienti da tutta Italia. Anche nel periodo successivo si ritrovano personalità di rinomanza nazionale e internazionale, . Alla fine degli anni ottanta due importanti pubblicazioni definiranno lo IUAV come la “migliore scuola d’architettura” in Europa. Nel volume, più che le singole individualità, sono stati privilegiati gli aspetti maggiormente caratterizzanti legati a nuclei e gruppi propri di un’originale geografia didattico-culturale. Fanno eccezione due figure-chiave finora poco analizzate e qui messe in luce: Giovanni Bordiga, il fondatore ed Egle Trincanato, artefice di una caratterizzazione degli studi in senso veneziano. La trattazione è stata divisa in tre parti corrispondenti a tre ben distinte fasi cronologiche: il primo periodo, tra anni venti e quaranta del Novecento; l’”era Samonà” nel dopoguerra ed infine il tempo dell'università di massa dopo il 1970

    Data-centric public services as potential source of policy knowledge. Can “design for policy” help?

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is three-fold. Firstly, through selected case studies, to provide an overview of how non-traditional data from digital public services were used as a source of knowledge for policymaking. Secondly, to argue for a design for policy approach to support the successful integration of nontraditional data into policymaking practice, thus supporting data-driven innovation for policymaking. Thirdly, to encourage a vision of the relation between data-driven innovation and public policy that considers policymaking outside the authoritative instrumental logic perspective. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative small-N case study analysis based on desk research data was developed to provide an overview of how data-centric public services could become a source of knowledge for policymaking. The analysis was based on an original theoretical-conceptual framework that merges the policy cycle model and the policy capacity framework. Findings – This paper identifies three potential areas of contribution of a design for policy approach in a scenario of data-driven innovation for policymaking practice: the development of sensemaking and prefiguring activities to shape a shared rationale behind intra-/inter-organisational data sharing and data collaboratives; the realisation of collaborative experimentations for enhancing the systemic policy analytical capacity of a governing body, e.g. by integrating non-traditional data into new and trusted indicators for policy evaluation; and service design as approach for data-centric public services that connects policy decisions to the socio-technical context in which data are collected. Research limitations/implications – The small-N sample (four cases) selected is not representative of a broader population but isolates exemplary initiatives. Moreover, the analysis was based on secondary sources, limiting the assessment quality of the real use of non-traditional data for policymaking. This level of empirical understanding is considered sufficient for an explorative analysis that supports the original perspective proposed here. Future research will need to collect primary data about the potential and dynamics of how data from data-centric public services can inform policymaking and substantiate the proposed areas of a design for policy contribution with practical experimentations and cases

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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
