The government of the waters and natural environment in the metropolitan area of the Lagoon of Venice from past to future
No full textThe Venice problems are not just about protection against flooding. And the Laguna problems are not only those of defense from the rivers that fill with sediment making it disappear. Of these two problems we talked a lot. Today we can say that, like yesterday, the city's problems and the problems of the Lagoon are intertwined. The city presents problems of depopulation, economic base and transport. In Laguna there are environmental problems, archaeological, eustatism and bradyseism. Laguna and city, also as metropolitan area, represent a unified whole, inseparable.
The paper describes the main problems of bradyseism, of eustatism, of high tides that flood the ancient centers (acqua alta) and speaks of the defense of the city from them. But there are also basic economics problems, for the life of the settlements and transport, required to give a reason for living the city, almost as much reason for living for the city is Laguna itself. It's also stressed the importance of integrating these issues with those of the tourist economy, the natural environment, the economy and the harbor, describing some solutions into a systemic vision, because Venice and the Lagoon are inseparable and can not work one without the other
Large Projects for Small building construction companies: from the Key Diagram, to the Architectural Model, to the Local Plan
Full text linkAlong 2016-2019, some educational experiments on the planning of large urban neighbourhoods were developed at the Laboratorio Integrato di Progettazione Urbanistica of Udine University, coordinated by the author with the participation of the architect Elena Olivo and the engineer Giorgio Verri. The attempt is to reverse the traditional urban planning process, anticipating the Volumetric Project, to arrive at the Local Plan only at a later time. Three cities were used: Venice, Udine and Treviso. In Venice compact forms of the lagoon settlements have been designed. Here we tried to rebalance the city with respect to the mainland districts, creating transfer opportunities for inhabitants scattered throughout the metropolitan area, and promoting a new lagoon architecture. In Udine and Treviso forms of infilling, compaction and urban regeneration were sought, with the aim of reducing the sprawl and the spread and to provide urban areas for the construction of buildings demolished in the open countryside for the purposes of landscape refurbishment. The method used is: divide the students into project groups; draw up a Key Diagram of strategies; assign an area to every group; develop analyses on the city and its historical centre and use them to design the urban areas on a 1:1000 scale; join them together in a single project and realize the volumetric model; sketch up some architectures on a 1:100 scale; finally draw up the Local Plan of the whole borough

Montagna veneta e crisi autopoietica
No full textIl saggio, attraverso un esame delle criticità di auto-sostentamento e possibilità di generazione e rigenerazione in proprio dei sistemi insediativi della montagna veneta, dovute a numerosi fattori intrinseci ed estrinseci, anche alla luce delle politiche attuate dalla Comunità economica europea, tenta dapprima di mettere in luce le problematiche generali dell'autopoiesi degli insediamenti montani, poi di evidenziarne le fragilità e le politiche necessarie per un recupero ed una rigenerazione. In tal senso anche gli indicatori di svantaggio della montagna vengono messi in relazione con alcune possibili linee di ricerca atte a fornire supporto alle politiche attive di recupero e rigenerazione degli insediamenti di montagna e della società e del paesaggio che li connota
Mestre che cambia 1985-2005.Trasformazioni viabilistiche e trasformazioni urbane
No full textThe book proposed here looks back at the events, divided by the main points of debate, which affect or have affected the history of the Venetian urban mainland by beginning of the eighties, at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century.
Since the text is laid for the first time in 2004, but resumed in 2010, and then released with changes in 2012, do not be surprised if, in addition to the two decades covered are sometimes added notations concerning recent events. They are mostly aimed at clarifying phenomena in nuce in previous periods, and often give logical continuity to the urban story of Mestre, in a way that can best be understood by the reader for its consequential dynamics
Principi di realtà e fantasia nell'urbanistica contemporanea Principles of Reality and Fantasy in Contemporary Urban Planning
No full textThe fantasy and reality are often confused with each other, creating imaginary and
permanent architectural forms from very simple actions. This can fuel new projects, or take
root in protection through the constraints. Lurking around the corner, there is the
relationship between utopia and its ideological fixation, until the formation of dystopia and
'bad place'. The present paper deals with the relationship between these categories, using, as
paradigmatic background, the landscape of the squares ('campi' = 'fields') of Venice first and
then the city of Almere, in which, in 1982 and 1985, took place the Architectural competitions
for the districts of Fantasy and Reality
Venete Lagune. Un passato e un futuro da non dimenticare
No full textQuesto volume tratta della formazione delle venete lagune, e in ciò trova spunto per trattare della molteplicità dell'azione umana in questi ambienti mutevoli ed instabili.
L'azione dell'uomo tra Ravenna ed Aquileia, tra Venezia e Grado, tra Spina e Caorle, è da millenni caratterizzata da un continuo scontro con le indomite forze della natura. In questi ambienti di transizione, anche gli insediamenti non possono che essere di transizione: molteplici, policentrici, con forme cangianti nel tempo e nello spazio, sempre capaci di adattarsi al contesto, mai fermi e definiti. Ne deriva una pluralità di forme e spazi che non bisogna dimenticare per poter proseguire a progettare, perché la mutevolezza e l'impermanenza rappresenta la loro immutabile natura genetica. I paesaggi delle venete lagune, frutto della descrizione poetica, letteraria, geografica, pittorica, scientifica, e di fatto culturale, sono geofilosoficamente instabili. Capire le ragioni della stessa formazione delle lagune del Nord Adriatico, significa allora immergersi in un mondo di sfumature complesse, in cui archeologia, geologia, idraulica, urbanistica ed antropologia non possono che lavorare assieme per farci intendere, attraverso l'analisi del passato, quale sia la tensione verso il futuro in luoghi di innegabile attrazione e difficile comprensibilità
