    La ricerca progettuale riguardante le aree del margine ovest milanese, ha ritenuto il quartiere Giambiellino un caso studio esemplare per la rigenerazione di tessuti urbani periferici. La rigenerazione intesa come processo di modificazione necessario al miglioramento dello stato fisico delle opere e non solo, comprende valutazioni di carattere economico, tecnico e di fattibilità, in rapporto al valore storico e architettonico specifico, con particolare sensibilità alla tematica ambientale. Rileggendo gli spazi contemporanei di aggregazione viene rivisitato l’impianto morfologico del quartiere di matrice razionalista, avviando una riflessione sul tema dell’attacco a terra, del suolo come spazio di connessione e della densità come parametro di gestione dei flussi. Il progetto produce operazioni di demolizione, ri-costruzione e completamento, sia in termini di progettazione del costruito che dello spazio aperto

    Collective intelligence and cities, more than an urban metaphor

    If cities are complex adaptive systems (John Holland, 1995), their functioning and all interactions among their own internal structures could use as possible models plural examples starting from our neuronal system till the immune one. This comparison has to deal with the complexity, which those systems have in common, but it is also based on their prompt responsiveness to stimulations coming from external context, that systems must metabolize in order to evolve and mutate into “something else”. Success of cities and languages (meaning survival and an optimized way of functioning and developing) is therefore crucially based on the capability of reacting to a constant changing environment whether this is shaped by social, economical, ecological and cultural agents. The next challenge should be then to “identify and build new common goals” safeguarding pluralism and heterogeneity as basic elements of a “collective intelligence”, our greatest resource

    I project. Methodologies, strategies and results

    Every year since 2010 - between the end of August and the beginning of September - OC OPEN CITY International Summer School means a fantastic collective experience. Students (the main characters), professors, lecturers and tutors are involved in a great adventure where architecture and design build a common ground. Landscape 4.0 - the title of OC 9th edition - presents the results of the edition of the 2018. Landscape 4.0 is the landscape of sharing: sharing people, sharing ideas, sharing cultures, sharing experiences. "I Project" is a proposal of Landscape 4.0 for an abandoned military area in Piacenza (Caserma Pontieri). Landscape architecture has been considered as a plot of relations to be experimented as material and immaterial connections: through new physical links between heterogeneous urban objects and shared, multifunctional, flexible, real and virtual spaces that interpreted the need of the contemporary society. The experiences of these places - the interactions between subjects and objects - had to be strengthened or “augmented” in a new life and narration

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
