Rappresentazione, percezione e wayfinding. L’architettura per l’università del passato e del presente / Representation, Perception and Wayfinding. University Architecture of the Past and Present
No full textIl contributo nasce nel contesto di un più ampio studio sui rapporti tra percezione, wayfinding e rappresentazione dell’architettura. In questo articolo abbiamo sviluppato il confronto tra due ar¬chitetture accomunate dalla stessa funzione come sedi di studio universitario. Si sono sperimentate metodologie qualitative e quantitative per verificare come la percezione visiva permetta di indivi¬duare alcune modalità di riconoscimento dei luoghi e di orientamento all’interno di essi. La prima architettura, il palazzo dell’Università di Genova di origini secentesche, è studiata attraverso il metodo di analisi degli spazi visibili da un punto di osservazione (isovista) con l’ausilio di un algoritmo (Gras¬shopper) capace di individuare l’impronta planimetrica di tali spazi e della loro trasposizione in forma tridimensionale grazie al confronto con la fotografia nodale a 360°. Il secondo esempio, la Facoltà di Architettura dell’Università di Porto costruita tra il 1985 e il 1996, è composto da un complesso di edifici che evidenzia immediatamente l’evoluzione del rapporto tra spazio di studio e fruitori. Quella che nel palazzo secentesco era la manifestazione di una gerarchia monumentale che enfatizzava le funzioni rappresentative e celava quelle private, peraltro composte in una originale formula architet¬tonica, si trasforma, infatti, in una volontà di individuazione dei singoli elementi, grazie alla ricerca di una caratterizzazione geometrica all’interno di categorie comuni.The contribution was born in the context of a wider study on the relationships between perception, wayfinding and representation of architecture. In this paper, we developed the comparison between two architectures that share the same function as university study locations. Qualitative and quanti¬tative methodologies have been tested to verify how visual perception allows to identify some ways of recognizing places and orientation within them. The first architecture, the palace of the University of Genoa built in the seventeenth-century, is studied through the analysis method of the spaces visible from an observation point (isovist), using an algorithm capable of identifying the planimetric imprint of these spaces (Grasshopper) and its transposition in three-dimensional form thanks to the comparison with nodal photography at 360°. The second example, the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto built around 1990, is composed by a complex of buildings, which immediately highlights the evolution of the relationship between the space of study and the users. What in the seventeenth-century palace was the manifestation of a monumental hierarchy that emphasized the representative functions and hid the private ones, composed in an original architectural formula, is transformed into a desire to identify the individual elements thanks to the search for geometric dif¬ferentiation within common categories

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
