Integrated procedures for the drawing of linear networks: Digital graphic processing of cycling paths
No full textThe paper aims to highlight the potential and applicability of an integrated digital approach that uses the drawing as a concrete tool in support of the territorial and urban design. The integration of territorial analysis tools, together with others more traditionally used in algorithmic-generative processes, could allow to reach a global management system of data and information. In fact, territorial and urban transformations, by their nature or by virtue of their intrinsic complexity, require multi-scale control and managed on multiple interconnected levels. Through specific digital representations, we intend to illustrate the possibility of using a GIS system, integrated with parametric mod-ellers, for the management and verification of a series of design choices that involve urban or territorial transformations. The proposed methodology aims to validate an analysis system applicable whenever actions are needed within an already con-solidated urban space, especially to create or implement linear networks. The proposed operating procedure is therefore aimed at identifying cycle paths through a semiautomatic framework: the contribution proposes, in particular, an application on the road network of the Capaccio-Paestum Municipality, in the province of Salerno
Pascal Coste, viaggiatore d’architettura per lavoro, per studio, per passione
No full textIl saggio è nato nell’ambito degli studi che l’autore ha condotto sul disegno di viaggio e sui viaggiatori d’architettura.
È dedicato a Pascal-Xavier Coste (Marsiglia, 1787-1879), architetto e ingegnere, figura singolare tra i viaggiatori d’architettura del XIX secolo. I suoi viaggi, molteplici e a volte con itinerari ripetuti – in Nord Africa, Medio Oriente, Europa – per certi versi aprirono nuovi orizzonti, sull’antica strada del viaggio per studiare e documentare l’architettura.
I disegni di viaggio di Coste, tecnico e artista a un tempo, costituiscono un insieme coerente che si configura come un vero e proprio lunghissimo giornale di viaggio. Coste non si limita a disegnare monumenti antichi, moderni e contemporanei, ma dedica la sua attenzione al territorio, al paesaggio, alla morfologia dei luoghi, alla vita pulsante quotidiana; per gli edifici va oltre la rappresentazione d’insieme e cerca di indagare l’articolazione degli spazi interni, di comprendere le tecniche compositive e i sistemi costruttivi, i dettagli, gli arredi, la vita che vi si svolge.
Inoltre, nell’ambito dei viaggiatori d’architettura, Pascal Coste rappresenta per certi versi il momento di passaggio tra due epoche distinte: quella dei “pensionnaire” all’Académie de France a Villa Medici e la nuova stagione dei viaggiatori contemporanei, inaugurata agli inizi del XX secolo da Le Corbusier
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
