Accounts
Full text linkAccounts is a record of an extended conversation that took place among the members and invited guests of the AE Foundation in the first five years of its activity. It includes lectures, discussions and interviews with prominent figures, emerging architects and educators. Beginning with discussions on themes including Doubt, Authorship, Architecture, City, Buildings, History and Resistance, the conversation continued to explore the many and varied schools of thought that occupy the discipline. This book is the result of the spontaneous enthusiasm that erupts when sincere individuals meet to discuss their favourite subject seriously.

The Lettere of Andrea Calmo: authorial artifices and historical reality
No full textopenNonostante l’edizione di Vittorio Rossi del 1888, la raccolta di "ingegnosi cheribizzi" e di "fantastiche fantasie" di Andrea Calmo è ancora avvolta da un certo mistero. L’autore, dissimulando la propria identità dietro alla “maschera” dell’umile pescatore veneziano, è stato in grado di offrire uno spaccato della cultura e della società nella Venezia cinquecentesca.
In particolare, è il quarto libro delle Lettere ad aver suscitato maggiore interesse tra gli studiosi ed i lettori: pubblicato nel 1566, a diversi anni di distanza dai primi tre, questo libro si distingue per il fatto che tutte le epistole sono indirizzate a delle donne immaginarie o realmente esistite.
In questa sede si propone, in primo luogo, uno studio della biografia del Calmo accompagnata da un’analisi del contesto storico-culturale della Venezia cinquecentesca; in secondo luogo, invece, viene proposto un commento di alcune lettere dell’ultimo libro dell’opera calmiana, che cerchi di far luce principalmente sull’aspetto linguistico e contenutistico del testo.Despite Vittorio Rossi's 1888 edition, Andrea Calmo's collection of "ingegnosi cheribizzi" and "fantastiche fantasie" is still shrouded in a certain mystery. The author, dissimulating his own identity behind the "mask" of the humble Venetian fisherman, was able to offer a cross-section of culture and society in sixteenth-century Venice.
In particular, it is the fourth book of the Letters that has aroused greater interest among scholars and readers: published in 1566, several years after the first three, this book stands out for the fact that all the epistles are addressed to women imaginary or actually existed.
Here we propose, first of all, a study of Calmo's biography accompanied by an analysis of the historical-cultural context of sixteenth-century Venice; secondly, however, a commentary on some letters from the last book of Calmo's work is proposed, which seeks to shed light mainly on the linguistic and content aspect of the text
The Morphology and Surface Area of Emulsion derived (PolyHIPE) Foams Prepared with Oil-phase Solubile Porogenic Solvents 1: Span 80 as Surfactant
No full textPoly(divinylbenzene) emulsion-derived (PolyHIPE) solid foams prepared with porogens (toluene, chlorobenzene, (2-chloroethyl)benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1-chloro-3-phenylpropane) in the oil phase have morphologies and surface areas that are strongly influenced by the nature of the porogen. For the case where the surfactant employed is Span 80, we show that the solid foam structure depends on (i) the ability of the solvent to swell the growing network, (ii) the solvent polarity, and (iii)
the ability of the solvent to adsorb at the emulsion interface. In particular, relatively polar solvents that are able to transport water through the emulsion continuous phase (Ostwald ripening) are shown to produce much lower surface areas than analogous resins prepared by homogeneous solution polymerization of divinylbenzene in the presence of the solvent in question alone. The influence of Ostwald ripening is further suggested by the observation that surface area decreases with increasing emulsion aqueous phase content for relatively polar solvents whereas little variation in surface area with aqueous phase content is observed for more hydrophobic solvents. All PolyHIPEs prepared were characterized by SEM, TEM, N2 sorption analysis, and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The relative merits of TEM and mercuryintrusion porosimetry as techniques for the reliable characterization of the solid foams are discussed
The influence of porogen type on the porosity, surface area and morphology of poly(divinylbenzene) polyHIPE foams
No full textThe type of porogen added to the continuous phase of HIPEs containing divinylbenzene strongly in ̄uences the morphology of the resulting PolyHIPE foam. The cell size was reduced as the solvent became a better cosurfactant, as inferred from surface pressure measurements of ®lms representative of each HIPE continuous phase. In addition, this caused the windows connecting adjacent cells to increase, to such an extent in two cases that the cellular morphology was apparently lost. The surface area increased as the solubility parameter of the solvent approached that of the polymer, however the materials with highest surface areas also had a noncellular morphology and were very weak mechanically. This could be recti®ed by the use of mixtures of the solvents investigated, producing materials with surface areas up to 554 m2 g21, a cellular morphology and good mechanical properties
