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
New Urban Stadia. The sustainable pattern to the re-generation of Sport Districts
No full textThis book provides with the most comprehensive collection of new urban stadia built or renovated in the last 30 years.
It displays the success of the new urban pattern in designing and building stadia as part of an urban context. A unique collection of plans all presented at the same scale will help understanding the key role played by new urban stadia in shaping and re-generating existing urban neighborhoods.
The book allows academics and students to have access to the largest collection available today of new urban stadia
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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
MATERIALI PER UN ATLANTE DELL'ARCHITETTURA STORICA-TRADIZIONALE DELLA SARDEGNA: TIPOLOGIA EDILIZIA E TECNOLOGIA COSTRUTTIVA
No full textIl saggio si occupa di tipologia edilizia e tecnologia costruttiva della cultura materiale pre‐moderna della regione Sardegna nella prospettiva di sintetizzare alcune questioni prioritarie legate all’insediamento dell’isola. Il testo affronta sistematicamente i due grandi mondi dei centri di pianura e collina, in cui la corte rurale urbanizzata domina i tessuti edilizi e le regole dell’insediamento, e dei centri a carattere più spiccatamente montano in cui la natura cellulare delle abitazioni, la densità edilizia più elevata e lo sviluppo in altezza costituiscono i principali caratteri urbani. Inoltre, viene esplorata la dimensione tecnologico‐costruttiva dell’architettura tradizionale della Sardegna con particolare attenzione alla divisione fra gli ambiti della costruzione in terra cruda e quelli della costruzione in pietra
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
