Notes about lieux, space and memory
No full textAbstract
In these notes on the nature of one's own places (lieux), starting from the mental condition of the
recollection and the unavoidable relationship of the recollection itself with the general structures of
memory, we analyze the relationship of belonging as part of the theoretical premise to possible
reasoning about personal space and its plural forms, the territory and the landscape, in the sense of
anthropization and re-perception.
The lucid and enlightening analyzes of Walter Benjamin, Ernst Cassirer and Thedor Reik have been
integrated into what is meant to be a minimum path of reasoning on the preliminary activity to
represent as an operation of mimesis. We have pointed out some of the fundamental linguistic
mechanisms that govern the translation actions that each act of representing implies at the same time
of its implementation. The subject is shown as part of the process, of which it is not only an efficient
cause but participates in the formation of each mimetic mechanism through the different
internalizations of the notion of place.
A final segment is dedicated to the transformation of the relationship between lieux and work
Il secolo archeologico
No full textThe twentieth century is characterized by a particular transformation in Architecture. It moves away from its own secular logic based on the recognizability and identity of the constituent elements and becomes the result of an intellectual process built on archaeological logic, the Foucauldian discourse on the aforementioned. From the beginning to the end of the century, with different characteristics and results, it is possible to identify this matrix in the different dominant thoughts in the architecture either conceived and built
La forma architettonica dell'identità
No full textAll the identities in which a subject can identify himself invariably refer to the two-faced concept of inclusion and exclusion. An identity is affirmed in the same way through belonging to a nucleus or through its opposite and, for both, there are different intensities, from acknowledgment to the deepest passion.
In Erik Erikson’s psychoanalytic interpretation, identity is something internal, located in the deep psychic structures of the individual and which, therefore, persists through change. Architecture has the property of marking places, of anthropizing them, of materializing the transforming presence. It is an efficient cause in the elevation of any place to a place of the soul, according to the vector of experience.
Experience is precisely the mechanism of change with which the construction of the conscious self takes place and the contradiction
with the idea of an intimate persistent identity is resolved by observing the question from a sociological point of view.
The concept of change is radical in the genesis of architecture which, through the construction of the project, realizes the intentions of transformation. Therefore, if psychoanalytically we irrevocably belong to places, they sociologically belong to us.
This is not a static determinant: what are the mutagenic experiences that architecture imposes? Through what channels do they lead to that identity belonging or to that same exclusion, to the point of being able to speak of direct responsibility for architecture?
The relationship with the ancestral factor is, in contemporary times, transferred to the private space. What historically has been the tradition has become the set of uses of the personal context that, according to the logic of living, animates the architectural places of intimate inclusion, such as the family home, those of logical inclusion, the native city, and those of emotional inclusion, the affective landscape. The notable product of this transfer is not de-standardization but, unpredictably, a non-historical characterization.
The evolutional factor is an expression of the relational evolution of the person which gives rise to the progressive process of cultural appropriation. It presides over the conscious identification of certain places of real or, above all, fictitious memory, which become one’s own. In the contemporary world, this can be expanded to include as intellectual residues and not necessarily material, the architectures of the recent past, which no longer belong to us on the level of intention but are elements proper to places and, as such, are chosen or rejected.
The representative factor, through which architecture is a mimetic process in itself, where it is a model. The political form of the state (e.g. the Palace of Justice, the Prefecture, the barracks, etc.), the characterization of the group identity (e.g. the stadium, the theater, the school, etc.) are elements of the inclusion and exclusion and, as such, manifestations of the sense of identity.
Within these forms of the conscious self, architecture is a fundamental and indispensable part of the concept of inclusion and both on the physical level, as on the theoretical
Rappresentare l'architettura
No full textQuesto saggio è la raccolta di una serie di riflessioni
che portano all’idea di formalizzarne gli esiti in un piccolo
schema che descriva e strutturi una tassonomia minima dei
prodotti del disegno, con una speciale attenzione alla forma
della comunicazione didattica per le scuole di architettura.
La visione del disegno come strumento, come arma propria
dell’architetto nei confronti della descrizione dello spazio
è tradizionale e immutata, tuttavia la separazione tra
disegno accademico e disegno politecnico è un fatto noto, che
porta a qualche contraddizione

Is Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index (PAPi) a Predictor of Outcome after Pulmonary Endarterectomy?
No full textBackground: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the gold standard therapy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Traditionally, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) represents the main prognostic factor after surgery. The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) has been proposed for the assessment of RV in advanced heart failure, but it has never been applied in CTEPH patients. The aim of the present study is to describe PAPi in patients who underwent PEA, before and after surgery, and to define its predictive impact on postoperative outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 188 consecutive adult patients who underwent PEA, between December 2003 and December 2021. PAPi was calculated for 186 patients and reported. Patients were partitioned in two groups using median preoperative PAPi as cutoff value: Group 1 with PAPi ≤ 8.6 (n = 94) and Group 2 with PAPi > 8.6 (n = 92). The propensity-score-matched analysis identified 67 pairs: Early outcomes were compared between two groups. Results: Mean preoperative PAPi was 10.3 ± 7.2. Considering matched populations, no differences emerged in terms of postoperative hemodynamics; Group 1 demonstrated higher 90-day mortality significance (10.4% vs. 3.0%, p = 0.082); the need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) was similar, but successful weaning was unlikely (25% vs. 85.7%, p = 0.032). Conclusions: Mean PAPi in the CTEPH population is higher than in other diseases. Low PAPi (≤8.6) seems to be associated with lower postoperative survival and successful weaning from MCS
