The European Transect: an Organic Way for Architecture to Develop Towns, Cities, and Metropolises
No full textThe contribute is focused on the Transect tool.
The transect’s great value is that it provides practitioners, students, developers, and public officials with a comprehensive system to help guide the rational, organic development of towns, cities and metropolises.
It shows how to Understand the European City through the Transect, and then how to use the Transect to Reform the European City and its suburbs, and to find out practical solutions to the problems of sprawl.
Transect and Urban Code are great tools to relate the metropolitan scale to the refined scale of architectural detail.
It should be adopted by municipal building departments as a law, and by practitioners as a guide

ARCHITECTURE IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION
No full textIl regionalismo in architettura è un modo di pensare l'architettura che si è sviluppato a partire dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo. Trova origine in due fenomeni: la crescita dei nazionalismi e la reazione all'influenza della società industriale. La prima ha dato lo slancio al movimento europeo a favore del romanticismo nazionale nelle arti, la seconda ha iniziato l'idea del particolarismo architettonico applicato alle regioni ed ispirato dalle tradizioni locali. L'Inghilterra, che aveva conosciuto prima degli altri paesi d'Europa gli effetti devastanti dell'industrialismo ad oltranza sulle città e sui paesaggi è la fonte di riferimento attraverso il movimento Arts and Crafts. La sua influenza è stata notevole sin dalla sua creazione, nel 1888, intorno a William Morris, Arthur Mackmurdo, Walter Crane, William Lathaby, Charles Robert Ashbee, Voysey, Baillie Scott, per citare solo questi. In origine, il movimento è un invito fatto agli artisti ad ispirarsi allo spirito gotico vernacolare per combattere il classicismo, essendo quest'ultimo considerato uno stile internazionale contrario alle aspirazioni locali. Una delle più belle applicazioni di questa dottrina si trova in Francia, a Varengeville vicino Dieppe dove Edwin Lutyens e la paesaggista Gertrude Jeckyll hanno realizzato, in riva al mare, una delle più belle fusioni tra architettura e arte dei giardini. L'influenza di Arts and Crafts è alla base di quasi tutti i romanticismi nazionali dell'Europa del nord. L'America del Nord pure vi si è appoggiata per assicurare il rinnovamento dei valori artigianali, difesi, tra gli altri, da Frank Lloyd Wright e i suoi discepoli
An inclusive perspective across Northern and Southern Italy
No full textThe text presents reflections on activities carried out in Italy as part of an international project (RISE) aimed at the inclusion of Roma and Sinti children. The project took place in two different areas, one in the North (Emilia Romagna - Bologna) and one in the South (Apulia- Bari), chosen to broaden the study’s perspectives. The two cities involved (Bologna and Bari) differ in terms of the degree of inclusion of Roma children and existing social policies. The Roma communities in each location are also different. The main action of the project was an action-research involving teachers. This research method can implement a planning-reflexive process that proceeds via exploration and discussion, continuously questioning the knowledge, expertise and competencies of those involved. The educational activities and the school experiences of the Rise Project were carried out according to the action research approach, sharing the goals of the study, its contexts and the activities implemented with the heads and teachers of the schools involved from day one.
The actions proposed by the Project, presented and discussed in this paper are :
- a training programme for teachers, social workers and ATA staff on inclusive educational methods and on discrimination, intercultural pedagogy and the history of the Roma and Sinti communities;
- the participation of local services that oversee actions geared towards Roma children and adolescents facing particular challenges, and their families, in meetings;
- the promotion of educational workshops for all students in the classes involved, aimed at social skills, participation or know-how;
- the implementation of storytelling workshops for all students in the classes involved, aimed at creating a story that deals with the topics of interculturalism, prejudice, or gender discrimination through the use of animation techniques;
- the organisation of a workshop called “Rise English: Connecting with the World
Combining research and academic citizenship: Emergent patterns in Italian Business Schools
No full textResearch performance has been the driver of recent higher education reforms and the main parameter to evaluate academics for tenure promotion. The growing emphasis placed on scientific productivity has, however, cast a shadow over academics’ commitment to other activities vital to university functioning, such as teaching, impact, and service activities. In this study we explore the relationship between research and academic citizenship, i.e., the service behaviors and roles oriented towards institutional service, public engagement, and the growth of a discipline, in a research-focused higher education system.We looked for academics’ outcomes in terms of scientific productivity and engagement with academic citizenship in a sample of 728 Italian academics in business and management schools, using a two-step clustering approach to unravel patterns of behavior. Our results show a multi-faceted picture of six clusters, ranging from a large group of unengaged academics to a small cohort of academics able to successfully combine research and academic citizenship. Other clusters display an overriding focus on research or on a single type of academic citizenship. We contribute to the understanding of academic citizenship and its complex intertwining with research
