TOWARDS A SPATIAL DIMENSION OF SOCIAL RIGHTS. NEW PROSPECTIVES IN ARCHITECTURE AND LAW STUDIES
No full textAim of this paper is to investigate places in the city - and buildings that shape it - where social rights embed in.
The paper proposes to enhance the value of spatial dimension of rights in an innovative way for both constitutional law and architecture. Architecture in fact is the presupposition thanks to which human needs linked to social rights become tangible forms.
The paper assumes that the full satisfaction of social rights doesn't depend only on the distribution of single state benefits, but on the social life that happens in places, buildings. Therefore social rights require the existence of social links - as family, school, working environment, social and personal life environment - in which and through which every people becomes a person and express his-self as a person.
Acting an overturning of method the paper puts in evidence the link between social rights and space, but also intends to create a connection between the architectural dimension of spaces and the constitutional dimension of social rights until to arrive to tangible aspect of those rights in terms of physical space.
The originality of this theme is the interdisciplinarity between both architecture and constitutional topic, and sociality as key to interpretation of rights theory and space morphology
Preservation and Requalification of the Shanghai Urban Heritage. The Case Study of the JingAn Villa District
No full textShanghai city, like most of the Asian historic towns, is undergoing a rapid urbanization, disrespectful to the urban fabric. Due to its particular history, around 80% of the Shanghai urban fabric is characterized by traditional houses called Lilongs that represent an important cultural heritage that is at risk of disappearing over time, as many districts have been demolished to give way to private development projects and skyscrapers. Lilong houses were built after the Opium Wars (1839-41) at the hands of Westerners (French, English, Germans, Italians) who colonized Shanghai, forming different “concessions areas”. The Lilong house originates as a mixture of the European traditional terraced house and the traditional Chinese house. From 1840 and 1949 Lilong houses developed spawning different typologies with common characteristics. Today local government is becoming aware of the need to consider this historic urban landscape so that it shall be preserved and rehabilitated.
In this paper we trace the origin and evolution of the Lilong building typology starting from urban settlement up to defining its architectural and technological characteristics in order to develop a strategic system and obtain information to enhance the qualitative standard of rehabilitation. For this purpose we selected as a case study the district of JingAn Villa at Shanghai located in the International Concession, which comprises 183 complexes, housing nearly 3000 residents
La ricerca. Mario Losasso intervista Roberto Pagani
Full text linkLa radicale trasformazione di scenario della contemporaneità ci proietta con una consapevolezza diversa a discutere di ricerca, del futuro della ricerca e delle prospettive dell’azione della Tecnologia dell’Architettura nel panorama scientifico nazionale e internazionale. La crisi pandemica ha avuto probabilmente un effetto acceleratore di crisi striscianti già in atto e rende, oggi, ancora più attuali le riflessioni svolte nel Convegno di Firenze del giugno 2019 sulle prospettive dell’area della Tecnologia dell’Architettura e, nello specifico, degli scenari evolutivi della ricerca in un contesto sociotecnico soggetto a profondi cambiamenti. Oggi più che mai è necessario interrogarsi su quali possono essere le linee di sviluppo per un aggiornamento della disciplina che possa da un lato considerare i fundamentals dell’area disciplinare - approccio sistemico, esigenziale-prestazionale, sperimentale, processuale – ma che dall’altro, alla luce della rapida evoluzione del mondo contemporaneo, possa generare una riflessione su quali possano essere i nuovi driver della ricerca tecnologica per nuove focalizzazioni del sapere disciplinare e sulle sue possibili prospettive

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
