Invito alla lettura
No full textGiuseppe Colombo (Coordinatore dell’iniziativa d’Ateneo «La Misericordia e le sue opere») invita alla lettura del volume, arricchendo con un’interpretazione personale le parti che lo costituiscono. Ciascuna, infatti, è vista come un momento dello spirito umano che transita dalla contemplazione del bello, all’indagine sul vero e, infine, all’operare il bene. Il saggio porta dunque alla luce le strutture ontologica e antropologica che fondano e danno vita ai momenti del cammino giubilare in Università Cattolica.Giuseppe Colombo (Coordinator of the University project "La Misericordia and his works") invites the reader to read the volume, enriching the parts that constitute it with a personal interpretation. In fact, each is seen as a moment of the human spirit that transits from the contemplation of the beautiful, to the investigation of the true and, finally, to the work of the good. The essay thus brings to light the ontological and anthropological structures that found and give life to the moments of the Jubilee journey in Catholic University

City Development Strategy : Colombo
No full textThe Colombo Municipal Council (CMC), in
collaboration with the World Bank, UNDP, UNCHS (HABITAT) and
the Western Provincial Council (WPC) in Sri Lanka, launched
a project in February 2000 to formulate a comprehensive
strategy framework and a perspective plan of action for
development of the city. The purpose was to identify key
areas and issues that need systemic and planned attention of
the Council and other major stakeholders and to develop
appropriate strategies to address them. A Senior Consultant
was assigned to the CMC by the sponsors to help formulate
the strategy through a consultative process. In formulating
the strategy framework, the CMC consulted a wide variety of
stakeholder groups through a series of formal and informal
consultations. They included civil society partners such as
NGOs and CBOs, representatives of the poor; senior municipal
officials; and leading private sector representatives, i.e.,
major investors, realtors, developers and Chambers of
Commerce & Industry. Their views, ideas and suggestions
were reviewed and those compatible with the development
vision and thrust identified by the CMC task forces and
stakeholder consultations are incorporated in this strategy
framework. All stakeholders, particularly the private
sector, considered the opportunity as an unprecedented move
by the CMC and WPC. They welcomed the offer to join in this
unique partnership-building exercise in city management and
have assured the city administration of their wholehearted cooperation
Selecting an appropriate size domestic rainwater tank for Colombo
No full textBoth India and Sri Lanka have experienced rapid population growth and migration to the major cities in the past decade. This rapid urbanisation has resulted in overstressing of existing water supply systems, with a loss of recharge areas and an increased depletion of groundwater. These effects have further aggravated the urban water crisis. During the monsoons, the existing drainage systems are overloaded and overflow thereby resulting in flooding causing severe damage to property. Sewage overflows often lead to the outbreak of epidemics and occasionally to the loss of life. Rainwater harvesting systems serve the dual purpose of water storage to reduce urban runoff peak flows as well as augmentation of the existing water supply systems. To achieve minimum costs while optimising the security of supply, rainwater tanks need to be sized taking the local rainfall conditions into consideration. This paper presents a methodology to determine the optimal size of rooftop storage based on historical rainfall data. Annual savings of in-house demand as well as the security of rainwater supply are discussed. The methodology is applied to Colombo in Sri Lanka. A case study is based on 150lpd household demand with 25m2 of roof area in Colombo. The appropriate rainwater tank is determined to be 2000 L in capacity. The resulting water saving is 54% of annual in-house demand and more importantly, zero supply from the tank happens during only one third of the year
Qualche spunto per ripensare gli anni Ottanta : gli anni ottanta a Milano
No full textIl contributo si configura come premessa metodologica del volume MilanOttanta. Aspetti del sistema artistico e culturale a Milano (a cura di Davide Colombo), che – insieme a quattro ritratti video di Pasquale Leccese (Le cose così come stanno), Marco Philopat (E se i punk avessero ragione?), Ugo Finetti (A Milano...) e Michele De Lucchi (In stile Afrotirolese) realizzati con il regista Francesco Clerici e la Point Nemo Film – è il risultato del progetto di ricerca “ASART80. Ripensare gli anni ottanta”. Un progetto di ricerca interdipartimentale e interdisciplinare finanziato dall’Università degli Studi di Milano attraverso il Bando SEED 2019 e condotto dai docenti del Dipartimento di Beni culturali e ambientali – Silvia Bignami, Davide Colombo (PI del progetto), Paolo Rusconi e Giorgio Zanchetti – e del Dipartimento di Studi Storici – Roberta Cesana e Nicola Del Corno.
Il volume si propone di indagare alcuni aspetti del sistema dell’arte a Milano negli anni Ottanta, quando, dopo la fine degli anni di piombo, la città ha assunto il ruolo di guida in ogni ambito della cultura visiva (arte, design, moda, editoria, pubblicità, televisione) ed è diventata punto di raccolta di importanti influssi culturali internazionali e laboratorio di mutamenti politici e sociali poi diffusi nel resto d’Italia, nonché di mettere in luce la complessità e le relative antitesi dei fenomeni culturali e controculturali, artistici ed editoriali del decennio nella loro interrelazione con la realtà storico-politica.
Senza voler fare resoconti né proporre valutazioni definitive, i testi raccolti in questo libro intendono sollevare domande e mettere in luce contraddizioni e nervi scoperti che vanno indagati con attenzione e precisione, ma anche proporre alcuni – tra i moltissimi che potrebbero essere scelti – momenti significativi che possano aiutare in questo processo di comprensione. Così come frastagliato e apparentemente contradittorio è l’apparato illustrativo, che prova a restituirne una vivacità e ricchezza visiva.The contribution takes the form of a methodological premise for the volume MilanOttanta. Aspects of the Artistic and Cultural System in Milan (edited by Davide Colombo), which-along with four video portraits by Pasquale Leccese (Le cose così come stanno), Marco Philopat (E se i punk avessero ragione?), Ugo Finetti (A Milano...) and Michele De Lucchi (In stile Afrotirolese) made with director Francesco Clerici and Point Nemo Film-is the result of the research project "ASART80. Rethinking the 1980s." An interdepartmental and interdisciplinary research project funded by the University of Milan through the SEED 2019 Call for Proposals and led by professors from the Department of Cultural and Environmental Heritage - Silvia Bignami, Davide Colombo (PI of the project), Paolo Rusconi and Giorgio Zanchetti - and the Department of Historical Studies - Roberta Cesana and Nicola Del Corno.
This volume aims to investigate some aspects of the art system in Milan in the 1980s, when, after the end of the years of lead, the city assumed the leading role in every sphere of visual culture (art, design, fashion, publishing, advertising television) and became a rallying point for important international cultural influences and a laboratory for political and social changes that later spread to the rest of Italy, as well as highlighting the complexity and relative antitheses of the decade's cultural and countercultural, artistic and editorial phenomena in their interrelation with historical-political reality.
Without wishing to give accounts or propose definitive evaluations, the texts collected in this book are intended to raise questions and highlight contradictions and exposed nerves that need to be investigated carefully and precisely, but also to propose a few - among the very many that could be chosen - significant moments that can help in this process of understanding. Just as jagged and seemingly contradictory is the illustrative apparatus, which tries to restore a vividness and visual richness
Arte, artisti e gallerie a milano negli anni ottanta: continuità e novità

All’interno della complessità e fluidità del sistema artistico e culturale (ufficiale e controculturale) di Milano negli anni Ottanta, le gallerie d’arte private hanno giocato sempre più un ruolo propositivo e di apertura internazionale. Il contributo Arte, artisti e gallerie a Milano negli anni ottanta: continuità e novità propone una panoramica dell’attività espositiva delle gallerie milanesi (storiche e di nuova apertura) attraverso alcuni casi esemplari, alla luce di una molteplicità di proposte artistiche rivelatrice di una vivacità che supera le gerarchie, gli incasellamenti e le contrapposizioni di una lettura parziale o di parte, andando Il decennio è fatto di molteplici sovrapposizioni e slittamenti; una fisarmonica che trova il suo baricentro attorno al 1985-86, che non è cesura, ma coagulo di flussi diversi, in cui, accanto a ciò che è giunto a compimento, già appare con prepotenza ciò che si muove in avanti.The essay is part of the volume MilanOttanta.

Within the complexity and fluidity of the artistic and cultural (official and countercultural) system in Milan in the 1980s, private art galleries played an increasingly proactive and internationally open role. The contribution Art, Artists and Galleries in Milan in the 1980s: Continuity and Novelty proposes an overview of the exhibition activity of Milan's galleries (historical and newly opened) through some exemplary cases, in the light of a multiplicity of artistic proposals revealing a vivacity that overcomes the hierarchies, pigeonholing and oppositions of a partial or biased reading, going The decade is made up of multiple overlaps and shifts; an accordion that finds its center of gravity around 1985-86, which is not a caesura, but a coagulation of different flows, in which, alongside what has come to fruition, what is moving forward already appears with overbearance
