Masterplanning and Regeneration: Villa 31, Buenos Aires.
No full textUrban tissue and morphological principles can be applied in a more systematic way to the task of masterplanning and urban regeneration. A fascinating example is a design research project undertaken by Marco Maretto et al for the regeneration of Villa 3, an informal settlement in Buenos Aires. The aim of the project was to use urban morphological analysis and principles to first understand the structure, character and logic of the settlement and then suggest a regeneration proposal that retains the positive characteristics of the settlement. The approach is founded on the recognition that the informal settlement contain many successful design solutions that were generated by and meet the needs of the residents themselves, 'uncontaminated' by formal top-down controls

Social and Cultural Investigation: Ahmedabad
No full textConceived as a practical manual of morphological analysis, The Handbook of Urban Morphology focuses on the form, structure and evolution of human settlements – from villages to metropolitan regions. It is the first book in any language focused on specific, up-to-date ‘how-to’ guidance , with clear summaries of the central concepts, step-by-step instructions for carrying out the analysis, case studies illustrating specific applications and discussion of theoretical underpinnings tied to evidence from the field
Teaching Urban Morphology in a Sustainable Perspective
No full textThis book brings together contributions from some of the foremost international experts in the field of urban morphology and addresses major questions such as: What exactly is urban morphology? Why teach it? What contents should be taught in an urban morphology course? And how can it be taught most effectively?
Over the past few decades there has been a growing awareness of the importance of urban form in connection with the many dimensions – social, economic, and environmental – of our lives in cities. As a result, urban morphology – the science of urban form, and now over a century old – has taken on a key role in the debate on the past, present and future of cities. And yet it remains unclear how urban morphologists should convey the main morphological theories, concepts and techniques to our students – the potential researchers of, and practitioners in, the urban landscapes of tomorrow
L’analisi della forma urbana. Alnwick, Northumberland
No full textL’edizione italiana dell’indagine su Alnwyck di M.R.G. Conzen, illustre geografo di origine tedesca e fondatore di un’importante scuola di studi di geografia urbana in Gran Bretagna. Lo studio interpreta la città e il territorio come sintesi vitale di un flusso di esperienze storicamente individuate, dimostrando, in modo operante, come ogni forma sia il risultato della progressiva associazione organica di parti
Climatic performance of urban texture: public spaces in Venice fabric
No full texthe open spaces of Venice represent an emblematic excerpt of the social,
environmental, and traditional identity of city life. One of the most disregarded aspects in
Venice is the relationship between the natural and the built environment elements, such as
building facades and the waterways. The paper thus focuses on assessing the fabric
characteristics and their trade-offs in two of the largest public spaces in Venice. The first is
Campo San Polo, a great quadrangular “Campo” of the Venetian urban structure dating back
to the 10th-11th century known as the “Archipelago City”. The second one is Campo Santa
Maria Formosa, dated back to Gothic Venice, which features a bone structure and is
characterized by the balance between water and land systems. The climatic performance of
the two Campo Types is based on morphological and microclimatic analysis via ENVI-met, to
identify the integrated performance of public spaces as the preferential place for reading,
designing, and living in a city. The climatic behaviour of the Campo types was performed
considering four key variables: urban morphology, anthropogenic heat from buildings facades
and from street materials, albedo values, and the role of water. The results show that the
variability of urban form has a major impact on urban temperature, urban livability, as well as on thermal resilience behaviour in future climatic conditions

Riqualificazione di un’area del centro storico di Carezzano Maggiore
No full textLa proposta di riqualificazione dell’area in oggetto è basata sulla convinzione che l’intervento progettuale contemporaneo debba continuare un processo storico di trasformazione della città ancora in atto. La lettura del processo formativo dell’edilizia attuale e degli spazi pubblici di relazione che viene qui sinteticamente eseguita è, per questo peculiare motivo, parte sostanziale ed integrante del progetto stesso e ne costituisce pertanto la premessa logica in grado di costituire un rapporto conseguenziale di necessità tra la città storica ed il progetto contemporaneo. Tale lettura si fonda sulle nozioni ampiamente consolidate in letteratura di organismo e processo
