No full textBorgo Secolo. Intervenire tra lettura dei segni storici e evocazione materica.
No full textL’intervento di edilizia residenziale denominata “Borgo Secolo” è frutto di un progetto di riqualificazione di una ex area demaniale di matrice militare. Il programma residenziale è infatti il risultato di un percorso che è partito con la conversione dell’area militare (su cui sorgevano magazzini) a una nuova destinazione urbanistica, che ha innescato una trasformazione della percezione di quest’area: la sua estensione impenetrabile era una cesura tra il centro storico di Peschiera e la zona fuori le mura verso ovest, anch’essa plasmata da antichi presidi fortificati, ma meno leggibili, i cui segni erano smarriti nell’edificato. Il progetto è andato a rintracciare queste preesistenze nella cartografia storica, reinterpretando i segni per individuare una strategia insediativa in grado di generare qualità a livello residenziale e urbano, trovando nella finitura del laterizio faccia vista con una tessitura evidentemente contemporanea un modo per dialogare con le preesistenze storiche quale la fortezza veneziana, in particolare la cinta magistrale, il ponte dei Voltoni e le porte urbiche. Un parco pubblico raccorda l’area con l’edilizia che si frappone verso la fortezza, studiando punti di belvedere dove il nuovo trova scorci di connessione visiva e evocativa con l’antico.The residential housing project called 'Borgo Secolo' is the result of a redevelopment project of a former military area. The residential programme is in fact the result of a path that began with the conversion of the military area (on which warehouses stood) to a new urban destination, which triggered a transformation of the perception of this area: its impenetrable extension was a caesura between the historic centre of Peschiera and the area outside the walls towards the west, also shaped by ancient fortified presences, but less legible, whose signs were lost in the built landscape. The project has traced these pre-existences in the historical cartography, reinterpreting the signs to identify a settlement strategy capable of generating quality on a residential and urban level, finding in the face brick finish with an evidently contemporary texture a way to dialogue with the historical pre-existences such as the Venetian fortress, in particular the magistral walls, the Voltoni bridge and the city gates. A public park connects the area with the buildings that stand between it and the fortress, designing belvedere points where the new finds glimpses of visual and evocative connection with the old
Il restauro dell'Oratorio di Piazza a San Felice sul Panaro attraverso gli attivi approvativi: nuovi paradigmi di ortodossia?
No full textNegli ultimi anni si è assistito ad una forte oscillazione nei pareri su progetti espressi dalle Soprintendenze; in tale oscillazione, paiono aver ripreso corpo concezioni del restauro che, apparentemente, appartenevano al passato, con un forte rilancio dell'idea della conservazione (o, come in questo caso, ricostruzione) della forma piuttosto che della conservazione della materia e della sovrapposizione di nuovi strati contemporanei chiaramente leggibili. Il contributo ripercorre, attraverso l'illustrazione degli atti approvativi, la vicenda della ricostruzione post-sisma 2012 di un piccolo edificio chiesastico a San Felice sul Panaro
The bathroom in The House of the Future from 1955, discovering a new quality of life
No full textThe “bath”, from the Latin “balneum”, acquires since ancient times the meaning of therapeutic
and spiritual rite. The health aspect and that related to he–donism, to the celebration
of the cult of the body prevailed over the hygienic one; the public and social
dimension prevailed over the intimate and private one. The domestic dimension is a conquest
of the contemporary age, when the bathroom began to be understood as the place
where services had to satisfy hygienic and comfort needs. During the Twentieth century
the bathroom was reinterpreted as the most intimate, functional, technological, smart
space in the home. The centuries–old history of the bathroom foreshadows a development
towards new solutions that transform it into the centre of the domestic project, as a
unique and irreplaceable space for relaxation and the psycho–physical well–being.
This paper aims to explore the changes in the bathroom in the post–war period when
suggestions for aerodynamic lines, coming from America, were reflected in domestic
activities, radically changing social habits. The massive spread of electrical appliances
transformed bathroom into a place full of switches, taps and buttons. Design culture interpreted
change in lifestyles by inventing a new equipped domestic space involving new
relationships between people and innovative auxiliary objects and insights that offered
consumers great hope for the future. In the House of the Future sponsored by Monsanto
Company in 1955 to demonstrate the world would never be the same again, and the bathroom
showed this more than the other rooms in the traditional home
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
