Book Metodologie di valutazione della compatibilit   degli interventi conservativi

Download or read book Metodologie di valutazione della compatibilit degli interventi conservativi written by Luciano Cessari and published by Gangemi Editore spa. This book was released on 2016-03-20T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume raccoglie i risultati di una ricerca sperimentale nel settore della conservazione architettonica. Utilizzando e adattando un noto sistema di valutazione e di aiuto alla decisione (AHP) gli autori applicano i principi propri dell’Analisi Multicriteri per creare un metodo operativo che possa aiutare le scelte di storici, conservatori e amministratori quando devono decidere, in maniera concertata, singoli interventi di restauro. Il metodo è stato applicato ad un caso di studio realizzato nella chiesa di S. Agostino a Castelvetrano, in Sicilia. Nella prima parte vengono delineati i principi scientifici dello studio, nella seconda parte sono documentati i risultati delle analisi e dei lavori di conservazione effettuati applicando le tecniche valutative sviluppate dalla ricerca.

Book Sistemi Informativi Integrati per la tutela  la conservazione e la valorizzazione del Patrimonio Architettonico Urbano

Download or read book Sistemi Informativi Integrati per la tutela la conservazione e la valorizzazione del Patrimonio Architettonico Urbano written by Stefano Brusaporci and published by Gangemi Editore spa. This book was released on 2016-01-03T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il Novecento ci ha consegnato una interessante evoluzione del concetto stesso di bene culturale architettonico e urbano, dalla identificazione selettiva del monumento alla contestualizzazione del monumento, alla monumentalizzazione del contesto (ambiente naturale, manufatti storici, stratificazione storica degli usi antropici del territorio). Tale evoluzione ha arricchito e dilatato in misura significativa il campo di interesse in ordine alle azioni di tutela, conservazione e valorizzazione dei beni. Il progetto di conservazione del bene storico-architettonico, nella accezione attuale, si pone in alternativa all'intervento (straordinario) di restauro classicamente inteso, riferendosi, secondo la impostazione teorico-metodologica del restauro preventivo, piuttosto all'intervento (ordinario) di manutenzione e di conservazione programmata. Tali presupposti implicano una ampia, interdisciplinare e organizzata base conoscitiva, mirata allo specifico architettonico in tutti i suoi aspetti (storici, formali, figurativi, simbolici, costruttivi, funzionali...) e anche nella sua realtà contestuale urbana e ambientale, in grado di selezionare e orientare le scelte operative. Conoscenza finalizzata certamente al progetto, ma anche alla diagnostica, al monitoraggio del cantiere e al check up continuo dell'edificio nel tempo. Si esige dunque la possibilità e la capacità di gestire, in maniera visuale, relazionata e dinamica, una notevole massa di informazioni, peraltro fortemente eterogenea per caratteristiche proprie e per formati. Il programma di ricerca si propone di fornire un contributo innovativo in ordine alla definizione delle modalità organizzative e procedurali mirate alla costruzione di data base integrati, finalizzati alla documentazione, e alle azioni di tutela, conservazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio architettonico e urbano, nonché al loro utilizzo da parte degli Enti pubblici territoriali e di operatori tecnico-professionali. Il campo di indagine è lo specifico architettonico, nella sua relazione contestuale urbana, e la città storicizzata, nel suo insieme, quale risultato del processo storico di formazione e trasformazione sino all'attualità. I casi di studio sono individuati da ciascuna Unità di ricerca in riferimento al proprio territorio di ambito. Un significativo contributo su una tematica di permanente attualità, atteso che la emergenza del terremoto ha drammaticamente riproposto la carenza di conoscenza sistemica, organizzata e finalizzata, dei beni storico-architettonici presenti sul territorio. Il volume è a cura di Mario Centofanti con il coordinamento scientifico di Anna Marotta, Roberto Mingucci, Michela Cigola, Elena Ippoliti.

Book The Structure of the Ordinary

Download or read book The Structure of the Ordinary written by N. J. Habraken and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-08-25 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influential Dutch architect's long-awaited manifesto on the everyday environment as the first and best ground for establishing the significance and coherence of architecture. According to N. J. Habraken, intimate and unceasing interaction between people and the forms they inhabit uniquely defines built environment. The Structure of the Ordinary, the culmination of decades of environmental observation and design research, is a recognition and analysis of everyday environment as the wellspring of urban design and formal architecture. The author's central argument is that built environment is universally organized by the Orders of Form, Place, and Understanding. These three fundamental, interwoven principles correspond roughly to physical, biological, and social domains. Historically, "ordinary" environment was the background against which architects built the "extraordinary." Drawing upon extensive examples from archaeological and contemporary sites worldwide, the author illustrates profound recent shifts in the structure of everyday environment. One effect of these transformations, Habraken argues, has been the loss of implicit common understanding that previously enabled architects to formally enhance and innovate while still maintaining environmental coherence. Consequently, architects must now undertake a study of the ordinary as the fertile common ground in which form- and place-making are rooted. In focusing on built environment as an autonomous entity distinct from the societies and natural environments that jointly create it, this book lays the foundation for a new dialogue on methodology and pedagogy, in support of a more informed approach to professional intervention.

Book Construction and Building Research

Download or read book Construction and Building Research written by Carmen Llinares-Millán and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

Book Water Safety in Buildings

Download or read book Water Safety in Buildings written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive experience shows that poor design and management of water systems in buildings can cause outbreaks of disease. The types of building, water uses, disease outcomes and individuals affected are diverse. The health risks are preventable and can be readily controlled. However, evidence from outbreak detection suggests that the overall trend is increasing. With increasing global urbanization, the overall exposure of the human population to poorly designed or managed water systems in buildings is increasing rapidly. Consequently, the risk of disease outbreaks is also increasing. Actions to reduce the risk of disease should be considered a public health priority. This document provides guidance for managing water supplies in buildings where people may drink water; use water for food preparation; wash, shower, swim or use water for other recreational activities; or be exposed to aerosols produced by water-using devices, such as cooling towers. These uses occur in a variety of buildings, such as hospitals, schools, child and aged care, medical and dental facilities, hotels, apartment blocks, sport centres, commercial buildings and transport terminals. The target audience for this document includes the full range of "actors" who influence the overall safe management of building water supplies. In particular, it is directed at those who design, construct, manage, operate, maintain and regulate building water systems.

Book Smart Planning  Sustainability and Mobility in the Age of Change

Download or read book Smart Planning Sustainability and Mobility in the Age of Change written by Rocco Papa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an overview of sustainability and urban mobility in the context of urban planning – topics that are of considerable interest in the development of smart cities. Environmental sustainability is universally recognized as a fundamental condition for any urban policy or urban management activity, while mobility is essential for the survival of complex urban systems. The new opportunities offered by innovations in the mobility of people, goods and information, as well as radically changing interactions and activities are transforming cities. Including contributions by urban planning scholars, the book provides an up-to-date picture of the latest studies and innovative policies and practices in Italy, of particular interest due to its spatial, functional and social peculiarities. Sustainability and mobility must form the basis of “smart planning” – a new dimension of urban planning linked to two main innovations: procedural innovation in the management of territorial transformations and the technological innovation of the generation, processing and distribution of data (big data) for the creation of new "digital environments" such as GIS, BIM, models of augmented and mixed reality, useful for describing changes in human settlement in real time.

Book Urban Agriculture Europe

Download or read book Urban Agriculture Europe written by Frank Lohrberg and published by Jovis Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How can agriculture contribute to the sustainable development of European cities? How can agriculture and horticulture create vital urban spaces that have new social and ecological qualities and are also economically viable? Urban Agriculture Europe is the first comprehensive, transdisciplinary publication about urban agriculture in Europe. Apart from well-known examples of urban food gardens in Western European metropolises, this volume also studies innovative forms of periurban agriculture, bringing in experiences in Eastern and Southern Europe. The contributions approach urban agriculture from the point of view of social science, the economy, agricultural ecology, and spatial planning and address the role of citizens, involved parties, and politics, as well as operational models and planning tools. Case studies from Barcelona, Dublin, Geneva, Milan, Sofia, Warsaw, and the Ruhr Metropolis allow a comparative view of European practice. Statements from involved parties and guidance for cities and regions round off the publication."--Page 4 of cover.

Book The Past in the Present

Download or read book The Past in the Present written by Ioannis Poulios and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Past in the Present deals with the complexities in the operation and management of living heritage sites. It presents a new interpretation of such sites based on the concept of continuity, and its evolution to the present. It is demonstrated that the current theoretical framework and practice of conservation, as best epitomised in a values-based approach and the World Heritage concept, is based on discontinuity created between the monuments (considered to belong to the past) and the people of the present, thus seemingly unable to embrace living heritage sites. From this position, the study suggests an innovative approach that views communities and sites as an inseparable entity: a Living Heritage Approach. This approach brings a new insight into key concepts such as authenticity and sustainable development. Through the use of the monastic site of Meteora, Greece, as a case study, the discussion generated aims to shift the focus of conservation from ‘preservation’ towards a continual process of ‘creation’ in an ongoing present, attempting to change the way heritage is perceived, protected and, more importantly, further created. “The Past in the Present is an important and much-needed contribution to the debate about living heritage – and it is particularly significant in the context of the heritage of the past in the modern world. Anyone concerned with how the past is, or should be, integrated within modern lives and identities will need to read this book.” – Leslie Brubaker, Director, Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies, University of Birmingham, UK. “This interesting and thoroughly researched book by Ioannis Poulios is a useful tool in promoting the Living Heritage Approach, and provides a sound theoretical basis for future work. Living Heritage Approach is a paradigm shift that suggests a new way of addressing conservation for our heritage. ICCROM is proud to have introduced this approach, also with the contribution of Ioannis.” – Gamini Wijesuriya, Project Manager, ICCROM.
