Periferie d’autore. Studi e proposte per il Quartiere Feltre a Milano
Get PDFThe Municipality of Milan has recently focused resources, and attention on some areas considered strategic and fragile at the same time, defined as "peripheries". From the intersection between the geography of these areas and the evidence of 20th-century, architecture resulted in the "auteur peripheries” map, that the research here presented recomposed, choosing to investigate, in the wide range of complexes designed by architects notable at Italian and international level, Quartiere Ina-Casa "Feltre" (1957-1961), which involved the cooperation of 47 architects led by Gino Pollini, indeed an auteur neighbourhood. The peculiarity of the design process that originated the urban structure and the compositive features of the buildings, highlighted by various bibliographic references, has more clearly revealed by the analysis of the sources, partly unpublished, collected in different archives, and is reflected in recognition of this complex as cultural heritage[1]. Several on-site surveys allowed to document the current conditions, the transformation occurred in public spaces, property, use and layout of the buildings, and the actual inhabitants' perception of the neighbourhood. In this knowledge path, the use of a multidisciplinary and, as far as possible, a multi-scale methodology revealed to be essential, favoured by the IT tools features, that allowed to include and manage different information and levels of knowledge, concerning parts of the city, single buildings, up to construction details, partly modified during the last decades. This contribution aims to outline how only an interdisciplinary approach could investigate complex environments such as the fragile urban areas, with the purpose of preserving the recent architectural heritage, essential resource in relation to which is necessary to define the ways of regeneration.[1] DGR 8/8311 of the 29.10.2008, Municipality of Milan – Statement of Notable Public Interest of Quartiere Feltre.La città di Milano ha recentemente concentrato risorse ed attenzioni in alcuni ambiti considerati strategici e al contempo fragili, definiti “periferie”. Dall’intersezione tra la geografia di queste aree e le testimonianze dell’architettura del XX secolo è risultata la mappa delle “periferie d’autore” che la ricerca qui presentata ha ricomposto, scegliendo poi di indagare, nel mosaico di complessi progettati da figure di spicco del panorama italiano ed internazionale, il Quartiere Ina-Casa “Feltre” (1957-1961), che ha visto la cooperazione di 47 architetti coordinati da Gino Pollini, indubbiamente un quartiere d’autore. La singolarità del processo progettuale che ha originato il suo impianto urbanistico, i caratteri compositivi degli edifici, evidenziata da numerose referenze bibliografiche, è emersa con maggior chiarezza dall’analisi delle fonti esplorate, in parte inedite, raccolte in archivi diversi, e si riflette nel riconoscimento del quartiere quale bene culturale[1]. Numerose ricognizioni in sito hanno consentito di documentarne le condizioni attuali, i mutamenti intervenuti negli spazi collettivi, nella proprietà, nell’uso e nell’assetto degli edifici, la percezione che gli abitanti hanno oggi del quartiere. È risultata fondamentale, in tal senso, l’adozione di una metodologia multidisciplinare e per quanto possibile multiscalare, favorita dall’utilizzo di strumenti informatici che hanno permesso di includere e gestire informazioni e livelli di conoscenza diversi, relativi a parti di città, a singoli edifici, fino ai dettagli costruttivi, in parte modificati nel corso degli ultimi decenni. Questo contributo intende mostrare come soltanto un approccio interdisciplinare possa indagare ambiti complessi quali le aree urbane fragili, con l’obiettivo di conservarne il patrimonio recente, risorsa imprescindibile rispetto alla quale misurare i modi della rigenerazione.[1] DGR 8/8311 del 29.10.2008, Comune Di Milano - Dichiarazione Di Notevole Interesse Pubblico Del Quartiere Feltre
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
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
Periferie d'autore. Il quartiere Feltre a Milano 1961-2019
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALE-Over the past two years the City of Milan has demonstrated an increasing interest as regards the suburbs, reaching in 2017 the definition of a specific plan, Piano Periferie, located in five areas within the City, then become ambiti prioritari PP of the latest and wider Piano Quartieri, developed in 2018. Given the presence of multiple diverse factors, we assumed as necessary to explore these delicate sites, going over the concept of suburbs through time and afterwards pointing out 20th century author architecture and neighborhoods, making the intersection of these examples with the boundaries defined by the urban planning. This phase led to the creation of the Periferie d’autore map, using a geographic information system GIS, that enabled to gather and classify data and documentary materials concerning each of the indicated architecture and neighborhoods. The outcomes of this large-scale study proved to be useful for identifying the specific case study, Quartiere Ina-Casa in via Feltre, designed between 1957 and 1961 thanks to the cooperation of many teamworks featuring famous architects such as Gino Pollini (coordinator) and Luigi Figini, Ignazio Gardella, Luciano Baldessari, Giancarlo De Carlo, Vittorio Gregotti, Mario Terzaghi and Augusto Magnaghi, Mario Bacciocchi, Angelo Mangiarotti and Bruno Morassutti, Tito Varisco Bassanesi, Gianluigi Giordani and Pier Italo Trolli. The residential complex analysis was structured into several way, starting from the examination of the unique achitecture features, the techniques and materials used in the construction phase, considering published and unpublished sources. Meanwhile we proceeded to on-site research, facing with the population through qualitative interviews, showing the current conservation status and retracing the visible transformations referred to the elevations of the buildings. We decided ideed to bring attention to the outside areas since the existing environmental constraint doesn’t seem to have accomplished the intended effects, according to the multiple modifications that have been occurred despite the activation of the protection measure in 2008. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the constraint and reactivate the neighborhood context, we proposed several guidelines referring to a multidisciplinary and different scale based method, which brought to the development of an integrated project. This approach, focused on the interaction of an integrated logic and a uniform direction, that involves citizens and the local authority, could be proposed as a model for future operations within author suburbs areas
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
Il campus Bocconi in Milano. Architetture, materiali e tecniche in un secolo di trasformazioni
No full textIl campus Bocconi, nel quartiere Porta Lodovica a Milano, costituisce oggi il risultato di quasi un secolo di addizioni e modifiche che hanno coinvolto alcuni tra i più affermati progettisti della scena internazionale. Uno degli aspetti maggiormente rilevanti di questo complesso universitario è la sua dimensione urbana, che è andata definendosi contestualmente all’espansione edilizia della zona. Sorto, con la prima sede di via Sarfatti, in un’area ancora rurale, costituisce oggi uno dei quartieri più centrali della città, che ha vissuto una transizione da contesto agricolo, a industriale, a residenziale. Ogni progettista chiamato a definire un nuovo elemento del sistema si è infatti dovuto confrontare con significative preesistenze e con un contesto in evoluzione. Lo studio delle diverse stratificazioni di questo campus risulta interessante altresì perché ogni ampliamento ha costituito l’occasione per sperimentazioni nell’ambito dei materiali e delle tecniche. Il complesso, molto indagato dal punto di vista storico e compositivo, viene trattato in riferimento allo stato di conservazione delle sue architetture, con l’obiettivo di verificare come gli edifici abbiano reagito alla prova del tempo, ma anche come i rapporti tra architettura e città si siano modificati, come si siano evolute le modalità d’uso degli spazi e quali trasformazioni esse abbiano determinato
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
