Postfazione. Il lascito operante di Gianfranco Caniggia
Full text linkQuello che mi accingo a commentare è uno dei libri più chiari e comprensibili riguardo l’interpretazione e lo sviluppo del pensiero di Gianfranco Caniggia e del suo ancora fertile e operante lascito culturale. Il tema dominante riguarda la puntuale ricognizione, articolata e completa dell’imponente attività del maestro come architetto operante
e teorico dell’architettura. La mole del lavoro dispiegata da Matteo Ieva tende a cogliere in modo rigoroso, scientifi co, profondo, il corpus del pensiero e il senso di una disciplina, quella della composizione architettonica, al variare dei problemi, dei fenomeni e delle situazioni che defi nirono il fervido clima culturale dell’Italia della ricostruzione a partire
dagli anni ’60

Tarragona: fragmented development of a city
No full textThe proposed subject is the result of the study realized by the Thesis Laboratory, coordinated by the Professor M. Ieva, in the dICAR department of the Polytechnic of Bari. The study analyzes the urban structure of Tarragona, a city in Spain, and tries to explain the complex evolution of the urban fabric extra moenia and how its linked to the existent walled city. The first part, built from the XVII century next to the walls, is built above the Roman Tarraco whose doesnt survive evident traces in the actual structure, even though appears as a regular planning system that doesnt seem to coincide with the former. This edification corresponds with a phase of an accentuated urbanization and, according to the historical documents, it also responds to a request of new urban residential fabric due to population increase. An important element for the definition of the new boundaries has been, on one side, the superficial hydrography, composed of the Francolì river, and on the other side the coast. The new urban fabric is built next to the coast and gradually reaches the natural limit of the river. The global urban development follows different orientations, often depending on the previous lying and on the territorial itineraries considered matrices of the new urban layouts. A first connection is realized between the upper and the lower part, which is actualized in the construction of the area between the current Rambla Vella and Rambla Nova. The orientation of the coast, instead, conditions the structure of the new district that connects the port to the built in the meantime consolidated. The present Rambla Nova is a structuring axis of the expanding district designed by Josep Maria Pujol i de Barberà, articulated on a structure defined by a central pole, the Plaça de la Imperia Tàrraco, which generates a series of radial paths and of relative controradial layouts, according to a model of behaviour that had found wide use in many European expansion plans. The most recent developments in the urban fabric, which concurr to define a strongly torn periphery and lacking qualified hierarchies, seem to be affected by the strong industrial development that, since the last century, has produced a broad commercial and tertiary specialization with choices on the port system and on the infrastructural one that mark, even today, often negatively, the organization of the Catalan city, generating a strong incoherence of the whole urban system
La caserma "G.Macchi": un ideale mediterraneo
No full textQuesta pubblicazione è il risultato di un’attività di ricerca sul complesso della caserma “G. Macchi” promossa dal Politecnico di Bari e dal Comando Regionale della Guardia di finanza di Bari, resa possibile da una convenzione che prevede diverse forme di collaborazione riguardanti anche attività di valorizzazione degli immobili in uso al Comando Regionale.
L’attivazione di un Laboratorio di Tesi di Laurea dal titolo “La modernità del lungomare di Bari. Il caso della Caserma Macchi” ha dato vita ad uno studio che ha visto impegnati sei laureandi del Corso di Laurea in Architettura coordinati dai proff. L. Ficarelli e M. Ieva, con la partecipazione dei proff. I. Carabellese, G.P. Consoli, A. Labalestra, D. Pastore, N. Scardigno.
Una sintesi di questo lavoro, riportata negli scritti e nei grafici ospitati, offre uno spaccato della serie di eventi - alcuni inediti - che hanno permesso di compiere una tra le più interessanti opere di monumentalizzazione dei lungomari d’Italia.
L’approfondimento sull’edificio della Macchi, eseguito dai partecipanti al Laboratorio di Laurea coadiuvati dai col. M. Favia e M. Mattiace e al Lgt. G. Quatela del Comando militare, ha riguardato numerose attività, tra cui il rilievo, lo studio dell’organismo edilizio e la ricostruzione delle vicende dei corpi che si sono succeduti. Ciò ha permesso di definire una dialettica integrata dei saperi che, senza dubbio necessaria nei casi come quello in argomento, ha consentito di perfezionare il quadro delle conoscenze
Taranto from the post-war period to the ‘big industry’. For a history of the urban morphology and settlement process
No full textIn this analysis of the urban morphology of the city of Taranto we intend to outline the
development of the city from the second post-war period to the crisis of industrial production
in the eighties. The failure of the large metalworking industry linked to naval and war
production has sanctioned a period of deep crisis for the Ionian city starting from the postwar
period. From this moment the process of evolution of the city and the definition of the
morphology of the new neighborhoods seems to take place in the absence of a credible
urban development project. As in the years of fascism, the reactivation of a mechanism of
development passes through decisions and plans that go back to national strategies from
the local dimension. At the end of the fifties, Italsider established a new basic industry in the
city. The city is involved in a state intervention that promises new spaces for economic and
social expansion that require a more structured urban settlement process. The phenomenon
leads the urban growth of the city to a sudden acceleration that does not stop until at least
the seventies and goes beyond the established urban development guidelines involving the
areas north of the city. But the renovatio urbis is not only concerned with the expansion areas,
but also places the recovery of the old city started during the fascism and interrupted with the
start of the world war. At the same time, the new districts are born under the banner of new
urbanistic trends and see the involvement of authoritative designers such as Luigi Piccinato,
asked to define the new directional district of the city, the studio Nizzoli Associati that deals
with some buildings inside the the new industrial complex of Italsider and, finally, Giò Ponti,
who is called to cancel “the cultural infamy” (G. C. Argan) of the process of establishing
the new Taranto with the project of the concathedral in 1971. The purpose of this research
is to make these events, so far documented in a non-homogeneous and fragmented way,
as internal to an urban history of the city and connected to the role that architecture as a
whole has played in the development of the Taranto area, within the physical limits of the
two seas, its projects and its utopias

Spatial design, planning processes and literary works on cities: an ontological approach for integrating heterogeneous knowledge
No full textWe propose to study cities as compositions of layers, each layer presenting some characteristic aspect of the city based on some type of ontological classification. The layers and their interconnections differ from city to city; these differences, we believe, can explain what one informally calls the spirit of the city. From this viewpoint, traditional analysis and functional views of cities offer only a partial, and sometimes misleading, understanding of the city because such methods tend to modularize the city without modelling the complexity of the city-system and its variety of composing entities. Modularizing the system does help in some problems, especially if we fix a dimensional scale, but in deciding and implementing changes in a complex system like cities one has to keep the whole system in the picture to be able to foresee the overall impact of the changes. Our approach helps to make clear that designing and planning for a city (e.g. by transforming natural entities or introducing artificial entities) have impacts across a variety of layers. By taking an ontological perspective we can make justice of the general complexity of the city and pave the way to develop integrated ontological models. Finally, we give a look at subjective knowledge, the knowledge that is part of the perspectival view of the city inhabitants. This kind of knowledge is not always valorised in traditional scientific approaches, yet is essential for understanding whether a change can be embraced and supported by the agent community, the living component of the city system
