Book excerpt: Catalogo/monografia bilingue (ita / en). Questo catalogo costituisce la prima monografia organica su Francesco Simoncini, ricostruita attraverso il materiale iconografico e documentario – in gran parte inedito – esposto nella omonima mostra di Bologna. Un libro che ripercorre le innovazioni e i traguardi raggiunti da questo singolare personaggio del Novecento italiano. Imprenditore dalle idee innovative e progettista autodidatta di caratteri per la stampa, Simoncini ha testimoniato come pochi altri il valore di un approccio globale al progetto, dove estetica e funzionalità, umanità e ricerca sono tutti elementi equivalenti e indispensabili. Nel progettare i propri caratteri, Simoncini si è sempre posto come obiettivi essenziali la chiarezza e la leggibilità. Questa attenzione, unita alle capacità imprenditoriali e alla diffusione della tecnologia Linotype, fece sì che a partire dagli anni Cinquanta i suoi caratteri ebbero largo impiego in ogni ambito della stampa in Italia: dal Delia, progettato per gli elenchi telefonici, al Garamond Simoncini, impiegato dalle edizioni Einaudi a partire dal 1960, e divenuto il carattere più emblematico e rappresentativo dell’editoria italiana del dopoguerra. E ancora oggi alcuni dei suoi caratteri, anche se creati per una tecnologia ormai obsoleta, sono noti e apprezzati in tutto il mondo. Anche come imprenditore Simoncini si distinse per le sue iniziative originali, sempre attente a valorizzare il contributo dei collaboratori e dei dipendenti. Alla fine della guerra, era riuscito a trasformare la piccola officina paterna di riparazioni per Linotype in una grande industria internazionale per la progettazione e produzione di caratteri. La sua attenzione si estese anche al di fuori dell’azienda assumendo ruoli di rilievo in associazioni di settore e impegnandosi nella formazione dei giovani tecnici e nella standardizzazione della tecnologia. Il catalogo è arricchito dai contributi di Antonio Cavedoni, disegnatore di caratteri, e Elisa Rebellato, studiosa di storia dell’editoria. I loro saggi ripercorrono sia la vicenda biografica e imprenditoriale di Francesco Simoncini che l’analisi dei principali caratteri prodotti dalle Officine Simoncini. Una mostra di Griffo, la grande festa delle lettere, sul contributo di Francesco Simoncini (1912-1975) come imprenditore e type designer, curata da Antonio Cavedoni ed Elisa Rebellato. Traduzione di Johanna Bishop. Grafica: Dina&Solomon. Ebook a layout fisso: se ne consiglia la lettura su uno schermo ampio.

This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains the Proceedings of the 2010 Conference of the Italian Systems Society. Papers deal with the interdisciplinary study of processes of changing related to a wide variety of specific disciplinary aspects. Classical attempts to deal with them, based on generalising approaches used to study the movement of bodies and environmental influence, have included ineffective reductionistic simplifications. Indeed changing also relates, for instance, to processes of acquisition and varying properties such as for software; growing and aging biological systems; learning/cognitive systems; and socio-economic systems growing and developing through innovations. Some approaches to modelling such processes are based on considering changes in structure, e.g., phase-transitions. Other approaches are based on considering (1) periodic changes in structure as for processes of self-organisation; (2) non-periodic but coherent changes in structure, as for processes of emergence; (3) the quantum level of description. Papers in the book study the problem considering its transdisciplinary nature, i.e., systemic properties studied per se and not within specific disciplinary contexts. The aim of these studies is to outline a transdisciplinary theory of change in systemic properties. Such a theory should have simultaneous, corresponding and eventually hierarchical disciplinary aspects as expected for a general theory of emergence. Within this transdisciplinary context, specific disciplinary research activities and results are assumed to be mutually represented as within a philosophical and conceptual framework based on the theoretical centrality of the observer and conceptual non-separability of context and observer, related to logically open systems and Quantum Entanglement. Contributions deal with such issues in interdisciplinary ways considering theoretical aspects and applications from Physics, Cognitive Science, Biology, Artificial Intelligence, Economics, Architecture, Philosophy, Music and Social Systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing Public Spaces in Hospitals illustrates that in addition to their aesthetic function, public spaces in hospitals play a fundamental role concerning people’s satisfaction and experience of health care. The book highlights how spatial properties, such as accessibility, visibility, proximity, and intelligibility affect people’s behavior and interactions in hospital public spaces. Based on the authors’ research, the book includes detailed analysis of three hospitals and criteria that can support the design in circulation areas, arrival and entrance, first point of welcome, reception, and the interface between city and hospital. Illustrated with 150 black and white images.

Download or read book Dialogues on Italian Constitutional Justice written by Vittoria Barsotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection adopts a distinctive method and structure to introduce the work of Italian constitutional law scholars into the Anglophone dialogue while also bringing a number of prominent non-Italian constitutional law scholars to study and write about constitutional justice in a global context. The work presents six distinct areas of particular interest from a comparative constitutional perspective: first, the role of legal scholarship in the work of constitutional courts; second, structures and processes that contribute to more “open” or “closed” styles of constitutional adjudication; third, pros and cons of collegiality in the work of constitutional courts; fourth, forms of access by individuals to constitutional justice; fifth, methods of constitutional interpretation; and sixth, the relationship between national constitutional adjudication and the transnational context. In each of these six areas, the volume sets up a new and genuine constitutional dialogue between an Italian scholar presenting a discussion and critical assessment of the specific topic, and a non-Italian scholar who responds elaborating the issue as seen from constitutional law beyond the Italian system. The resulting six such dialogues thus provide a dynamic, in-depth, multidimensional, national and transnational/comparative examination of these areas in which the `Italian style’ of constitutional adjudication has a distinctive contribution to make to comparative constitutional law in general. Fostering a deeper knowledge of the Italian Constitutional Court within the comparative global space and advancing a creative and fruitful methodological approach, the book will be fascinating reading for academics and researchers in comparative constitutional law.
Download or read book Eleonora Duse and Cenere Ashes written by Maria Pia Pagani and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1916 silent film Cenere (Ashes) features the great Italian actress Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) in her only cinematic role. In her meditative approach to her craft, she reprised for the screen all the "mother roles" she had created for the theater. Marking the film's 100th anniversary, this collection of essays brings together for the first time in English a range of scholarship. The difficulties involved in the making of the film are explored--Duse's perfectionism was too advanced for the Italian movie industry of the 1910s. Her work is discussed within the creative, political and historical context of the silent movie industry as it developed in wartime Italy.

Download or read book Environmental Separation of Heavy Metals written by Arup K. SenGupta and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-09-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book explains advanced and emerging technologies for removing heavy metals from wastestreams and contaminated sites. Separation processes of this type are critical for meeting stringent regulations of priority pollutants, especially arsenic, mercury, and lead, which the text treats in depth. After explaining the chemistry of heavy metals and their transport in various media, the work offers a comprehensive analysis of strategies for separating metals from groundwater, wastewater, contaminated soils, and industrial sludges. Both the basics and the applications of techniques such as ion-exchange, specialized sorbents, novel membranes, advanced precipitates, and electrokinetic processes are presented with a view to current use and potential for future applications such as resource reuse. Information in this volume enables engineers and other investigators to adapt and select the best means to remove and, in certain instances, recover heavy metals.

Download or read book The Sense of Suffering Constructions of Physical Pain in Early Modern Culture written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-31 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early modern period is a particularly relevant and fascinating chapter in the history of pain. This volume investigates early modern constructions of physical pain from a variety of disciplines, including religious, legal and medical history, literary criticism, philosophy, and art history. The contributors examine how early modern culture interpreted physical pain, as it presented itself for instance during illness, but also analyse the ways in which early moderns employed the idea of physical suffering as a powerful rhetorical tool in debates over other issues, such as the nature of ritual, notions of masculinity, selfhood and community, definitions of religious experience, and the nature of political power. Contributors include: Emese Bálint, Maria Berbara, Joseph Campana, Andreas Dehmer, Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen, Karl A.E. Enenkel, Lia van Gemert, Frans Willem Korsten, Mary Ann Lund, Jenny Mayhew, Stephen Pender, Michael Schoenfeldt, Kristine Steenbergh, Anne Tilkorn, Jetze Touber, Anita Traninger, and Patrick Vandermeersch.
Download or read book Architecture in the Age of Printing written by Mario Carpo and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the influence of communication technologies on Western architectural theory. The discipline of architecture depends on the transmission in space and time of accumulated experiences, concepts, rules, and models. From the invention of the alphabet to the development of ASCII code for electronic communication, the process of recording and transmitting this body of knowledge has reflected the dominant information technologies of each period. In this book Mario Carpo discusses the communications media used by Western architects, from classical antiquity to modern classicism, showing how each medium related to specific forms of architectural thinking. Carpo highlights the significance of the invention of movable type and mechanically reproduced images. He argues that Renaissance architectural theory, particularly the system of the five architectural orders, was consciously developed in response to the formats and potential of the new printed media. Carpo contrasts architecture in the age of printing with what preceded it: Vitruvian theory and the manuscript format, oral transmission in the Middle Ages, and the fifteenth-century transition from script to print. He also suggests that the basic principles of "typographic" architecture thrived in the Western world as long as print remained our main information technology. The shift from printed to digital representations, he points out, will again alter the course of architecture.
