Preesistenze in postproduzione. Tecniche compositive dell'architettura contemporanea nell'intervento sull'esistente
No full textLo studio è inserito nel vasto ambito di ricerca che riguarda il tema delle trasformazioni e riconversioni e ambisce ad esplorare alcune tecniche dell'architettura contemporanea nell'intervento sull'esistente alla ricerca di un linguaggio della modificazione. Tecniche d'immaginazione sono individuate e ordinate attraverso un processo visuale, analogico e comparativo, svolto su una rassegna di progetti d'interventi sul costruito (Atlante), esaminando l'architettura "fotogramma per fotogramma", trasponendo termini e definizioni del glossario della postproduzione cinematografica all'interno della composizione formale del progetto di architettura, ricercando i legami che collegano la scena della preesistenza alla scena successiva progettat
La caserma "G.Macchi": un ideale mediterraneo
No full textQuesta pubblicazione è il risultato di un’attività di ricerca sul complesso della caserma “G. Macchi” promossa dal Politecnico di Bari e dal Comando Regionale della Guardia di finanza di Bari, resa possibile da una convenzione che prevede diverse forme di collaborazione riguardanti anche attività di valorizzazione degli immobili in uso al Comando Regionale.
L’attivazione di un Laboratorio di Tesi di Laurea dal titolo “La modernità del lungomare di Bari. Il caso della Caserma Macchi” ha dato vita ad uno studio che ha visto impegnati sei laureandi del Corso di Laurea in Architettura coordinati dai proff. L. Ficarelli e M. Ieva, con la partecipazione dei proff. I. Carabellese, G.P. Consoli, A. Labalestra, D. Pastore, N. Scardigno.
Una sintesi di questo lavoro, riportata negli scritti e nei grafici ospitati, offre uno spaccato della serie di eventi - alcuni inediti - che hanno permesso di compiere una tra le più interessanti opere di monumentalizzazione dei lungomari d’Italia.
L’approfondimento sull’edificio della Macchi, eseguito dai partecipanti al Laboratorio di Laurea coadiuvati dai col. M. Favia e M. Mattiace e al Lgt. G. Quatela del Comando militare, ha riguardato numerose attività, tra cui il rilievo, lo studio dell’organismo edilizio e la ricostruzione delle vicende dei corpi che si sono succeduti. Ciò ha permesso di definire una dialettica integrata dei saperi che, senza dubbio necessaria nei casi come quello in argomento, ha consentito di perfezionare il quadro delle conoscenze
Tectonics of the “essential shelter” in the escola paulista. The “diaphragm-ceiling” and the “weft-ceiling” in the constructive logic of reinforced concrete
No full textThis paper investigates the elementary statement of the “essential shelter” as fundamental
archetype of construction during the 20th century. In particular the paper focus on the escola paulista design approach respect to this issue, which tested the constructive logic of the reinforced concrete in order to transfigure in a new material, this idea of the essential “shelter”. This is an aim very difficult to achieve because the concrete has not a well-defined identity but many facets. This implies that the designer has to prefigure the process of construction and the building site before proposing a shape of the building. It is a sort of structural design that deals with the art to mold the material in elements, organism and systems that have an expressive sense. The analysis starts from two structural categories (horizontal beampillars system on one-way or two-ways) to which corresponds a specific spatial character about the construction of the concrete shelter. Hence, one investigates the morphological evolution of the essential shelter from a domestic scale to the urban scale. If the shelter is, according to Giedion, “the main topic of the Modern architectural development” the paper identifies in two design of the escola paulista a morphological contribution to the issue of reinforced concrete “essential shelter”. In this respect, Francisco Petracco e Pedro Paulo de Melo Saraiva (1964) built the Clube XV in Santos, which adopted the structural layout corresponding to a “thrilitic system”, with the figurative idea of the “weft-ceiling”. Otherwise, the FAU building in Sao Paulo by Joao Baptista Vilanova Artigas referred to the idea of the
“trabeated roof”, in which the figurative purpose is to build a “diaphragm-ceiling”. Through a comparative analysis, the paper identifies these two case studies, focusing on the technical, figurative, spatial and urban features
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
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
