Housing for Europe. Strategies for Quality in Urban Space, Excellence in Design, Performance in Building
No full textUna riflessione multi-disciplinare sullo sviluppo urbano, che indaga:
- strategie
- modelli di governo
- strumenti di guida e valutazione del progetto
nel quadro delle politiche europee sulla città, sul controllo della qualità della vita e della qualità del costruire, sano e sostenibile. Il volume rappresenta il momento di sintesi di progetto di cambio transnazionale durato due anni, sviluppato con la collaborazione di università ed amministrazioni locali, che permette di mettere a fuoco la sfida che dovremo portare avanti nel 21 secolo: lavorare per creare città che siano belle, salubri, ed attraenti luoghi da vivere. Nel volume, in lingua inglese ed interamente a colori, una raccolta di soluzioni progettuali suddivise per Paese di provenienza. Il volume è stato realizzato nell’abito di URBACT II Operational Programme 2007-2013 Working Group HOPUS Housing Praxis for Urban Sostanaibility . Per maggiori informazioni sul progetto:
It is a multi-disciplinary reflection on urban development, encompassing strategies, governance models, guidance instruments and assessment tools, all considered in the wider framework of current European policies on the city, housing and building technology. The looking glass of a two-year transnational exchange project, bringing together universities and local administrations, allows us to understand the great challenge lying ahead in the 21st century: the quest to create cities which are beautiful, healthy, and attractive places to live

Atmospheres of Dwelling. Phenomenologies of “Being-at-Home”
No full textFirst introduced by Martin Heidegger in his later philosophical work, over the decades the concept of dwelling has acquired a fundamental importance in architectural theory. Its “classic” status, however, along with its centrality in postmodern architecture, has largely prevented the unfolding of an open discussion on the present-day validity of this notion. Similarly, the work of another cult author such as Gaston Bachelard, whose book The Poetics of Space is equally revered as a classic, appears to be uncritically espoused outside of a proper contextualization. While dwelling does represent a fundamental driver of human presence in the world, these two primary accounts and their implications in design should be discussed against other complementary or antagonistic models, such as those proposed by Deleuze and Guattari, Sloterdijk and Schmitz. Each of these authors defines his position vis-à-vis Heidegger’s original proposal, while opening to different repercussions on the practices of design
The Climate of Spaces. On Architecture, Atmospheres and Time
No full textThis paper discusses the concept of climate in relation to architectural space. By elaborating on the notion of atmosphere, that today permeates a wide range of architectural research, I intend to expand its relevance by outlining a relationship between atmosphere and climate analogous to what occurs in meteorological studies. While climate represents a rather stable (if evolving) cycle of recurring conditions, atmospheric events are fleeting and less predictable. Equally, architectural spaces can establish a general climatic scaffolding that increases the possibility of particular atmospheres to unfold, without however evolving into a deterministic cause-effect relationship. By addressing and comparing philosophical notions and architectural questions, I intend to formulate a novel theorisation as a useful tool for both criticism and design
