    AN EDUCATIONAL CENTRE IN SALEZ Designing sustainability through simple interactions between users and architecture|IL CENTRO DI FORMAZIONE A SALEZ Progettare la sostenibilità con interazioni semplici tra utenti e architettura

    Full text link
    The article presents the case study of the Landwirtschaftliches Centre as an example of a building capable of promoting new modes of interaction between users and architecture through simple and analogical technologies. The paper aims to understand how a low-tech approach, based on prefabrication, local materials, and solutions without automation, can stimulate user awareness and responsibility. The study, conducted through site visits and interviews with users and the centre's director, Markus Hobi, underlines how a 'structural' design approach can generate conscious and positive interactions between users and architecture. The paper's originality lies in exploring the educational role of these interactions, which can offer a new perspective on architectural sustainability

    Estr-ART. Progetto di rivitalizzazione locale attraverso il riuso dell’ex villaggio minerario di Les Rey a Ollomont - Valle d’Aosta

    Il territorio di Ollomont è stato nei secoli passati oggetto di un’importante attività mineraria che ha lasciato tracce indelebili di cultura materiale e immateriale ad oggi solo in parte valorizzate, che costituiscono una risorsa potenzialmente molto rilevante per il paese. Obiettivo del progetto Estr-ART è la creazione di uno spazio incentrato sull’arte, la cultura e la socialità, in linea con i nuovi modelli di abitabilità della montagna che puntano a valorizzarne la dimensione “produttiva”, affiancando alla vocazione turistica quella di luogo in cui costruire percorsi di vita e attività di natura creativa e professionale. La proposta presentata in questo studio, che traccia un’ipotesi per il riuso degli edifici dell’ex villaggio minerario di Les Rey, è stata delineata sulla scorta di alcuni orientamenti strategici condivisi e concertati a più riprese con la comunità locale, i portatori di interesse e i frequentatori del paese, e che sono stati approfonditi nei vari aspetti tecnici, sociali, economici, culturali

    The corpus of traditional architecture that had shaped the Alpine territory before the 20th-century “rupture” – which is looked further into in the introductory essay – in the modern and contemporary ages has been a basis for designers and scholars who have dealt with different modes of interpreting architecture and the landscape in the Alps

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
