    No Europe without Brussels: The Berlaymont Building and the Development of the Léopold Area

    No full text
    Europe and Brussels had a mutual dependency from the founding of the European Communities. This article explores the historic relation between local urban and the transnational development of post-war Europe. It ultimately raises the question to what extent there exists a dialogue between various actors involved to actively design and build the image of Europe in Brussels.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care.

    A mountain made of woods: the landscape in Mauro Corona's novels

    No full text
    reservedIn questa trattazione i protagonisti saranno le piante, gli animali e i paesaggi emersi dall'analisi dei romanzi Mauro Corona . I romanzi dello scrittore sono stati analizzati in modo da poter creare una panoramica dei paesaggi presenti nelle sue opere. Dando una visione sia quantitativa che qualitativa, i luoghi e gli spazi vengono riportati in maniera dettagliata dal punto di vista fisico, della flora e della fauna, ma anche mostrando la connotazione più legata ad un punto di vista emotivo/soggettivo. L’autore nei suoi romanzi ci parla prevalentemente di un paesaggio montuoso, rurale, mostrandoci spesso i dettagli di alcuni spazi.In this discussion, the protagonists will be the plants, the animals and the landscapes. The novels by the writer Mauro Corona have been analysed in order to create an overview of the landscapes in his works. Giving both a quantitative and a qualitative view, the places and spaces are reported in detail from a physical, flora and fauna point of view, but also showing the connotation more related to an emotional/subjective point of view. In his novels, the author predominantly speaks to us of a mountainous, rural landscape, often showing us the details of certain spaces

    The Cost Benefit Analysis of Commercial 100 MW Solar PV: The Plant Quaid-e-Azam Solar Power Pvt Ltd

    No full text
    The energy crisis in Pakistan has crippled the country's economy with an energy shortfall reaching up to 6000 MW. Fortunately, Pakistan lies close to the Sun Belt and therefore receives very high irradiation. To this end, in the beginning of 2014 the Pakistani government sanctioned a solar photovoltaic project namely Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park which was rated at 1000 MW. In this study, a cost benefit analysis for the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park has been developed. The model uses RETScreen software. In fact, a literature review pointed out that most of the previous research work with reference to cost benefit analysis for solar projects has been mainly carried out on smaller power plants. The outcome of the study shows promising results with the simple payback period coming out at 5.6 years. Furthermore, this analysis can serve as guideline for future solar photovoltaic projects in Pakistan and can help in the development and utilization of the huge solar potential of the country, thus aiding in the reduction of energy shortage. In its proposal, our research is unique and innovative in the Pakistani context. The results aim to serve as a guideline for decision makers and researchers interested in this topic

    Measuring investments progress in ecological transition: The Green Investment Financial Tool (GIFT) approach

    No full text
    Publisher Copyright: © 2022 Elsevier LtdDriving and monitoring the transition toward a sustainable economy requires sound environmental and social indicators. In this paper we outline the ‘Green Investment Financial Tool’ (GIFT), an approach developed within a pilot project of the Italian government to assess the environmental performance of investments through quantitative indicators defined based on system thinking and life cycle assessment, while pursuing the fulfilment of the “Do Not Significant Harm” principle (i.e., no step back in the six environmental objectives set in the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities) as well as social safeguard requirements. We explain how the GIFT can be applied to small and medium business investments without creating competitive barriers associated with high cost of implementation. We also discuss how the approach could be potentially used in support of policy applications (e.g., enhancing green private investments, issuing green government bonds), when defining improvement objectives aligned with the EU taxonomy, and its implications for knowledge creation (monitoring and accounting). Finally, research orientations for potential future developments of the approach are addressed.This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

    Tullio De Mauro e Emilio Garroni

    No full text
    A study of the relationship between the work of Tullio De Mauro and that of Emilio Garroni would require lengthy research on their respective texts, in-depth theoretical reflection, and constant comparison with the Italian and international philosophical-cultural debate contemporary to them, with which they maintained a constant dialogue. Such investigation would also constitute an important chapter in the history of Italian culture from the second half of the 20th century to the present. Of this rich and articulated mosaic, a few individual tiles are considered here. To begin probing the “distance in proximity” that I believe characterizes the relationship between the two scholars, the essay in fact takes its cue from the different way of reading a passage from an author dear to both, paragraph 90 of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. A theoretical knot from which a dialogue unravels, sometimes explicit, sometimes subterranean, centered on the nature of “sense” in human experience and that of linguistic and philosophical (mis)understanding. Two often divergent perspectives emerge, but rooted in a deep ethical consonance
