Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability is a concept that has monopolised a large number of the scientific debates in a wide range of spheres connected not only with architecture, urban planning and construction, but also with the product market, tourism, culture, etc. However, sustainability is indissolubly linked to vernacular architecture and the lessons this architectu

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume accoglie gli Atti del Convegno organizzato dall’Università degli Studi di Siena (Siena, Santa Maria della Scala, 15-17 novembre 2007) per ricordare, a pochi mesi della sua prematura scomparsa, la poliedrica figura dello studioso e rimettere insieme le principali tematiche da lui perseguite. Il volume rispecchia la struttura del convegno, divisa in tre sezioni: la prima, dopo una introduzione sulla figura di Riccardo Francovich, è dedicata ai temi propri dell’archeologia medievale italiana da lui più fortemente perseguiti, la seconda è incentrata sul rapporto fra le sue attività di ricerca ed il più ampio dibattito europeo e la terza sulla tutela, la valorizzazione e l’innovazione tecnologica.

This book was released on 2015-10-22T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il tema affrontato risulta cruciale: quali sono i limiti della responsabilità etica e professionale del restauratore architetto e ingegnere negli interventi di conservazione del patrimonio storico? L'ARCo, nei suoi venti anni di vita, ha inteso offrire uno spazio di ampia discussione e di libero confronto sui temi della conservazione e del restauro del patrimonio storico internazionale. Patrimonio di meravigliosi tesori, complesso, ricco e sfaccettato nel quale il tessuto dell'edilizia storica minore deve essere parte integrante da tutelare e conservare anche contro specifici interessi economici e politici, e per il quale l'Associazione sta sempre di più sottolineando la preoccupazione per il crescente rischio di depauperamento e distruzione. Questa situazione si riflette sulle difficoltà che i professionisti incontrano nell'esercizio della professione. Il convegno è stato quindi un'occasione per fare il punto e confrontarsi, anche con i colleghi dell'Accademia di Francia, su quali siano i margini della responsabilità nei confronti della norma, delle condizioni finanziarie e sulla conduzione a regola d'arte degli interventi di restauro; quale sia lo spazio del progetto e delle responsabilità contenute nell'assunzione di determinate scelte. Il volume raccoglie gli atti del Convegno "Responsabilità nella Conservazione del costruito storico" organizzato dall'ARCo in collaborazione con l'Accademia di Francia a Roma, il 29 e 30 novembre 2010 a Villa Medici, in occasione del ventennale della fondazione dell'Associazione.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980, and has helped to shape architectural practice and discourse worldwide. For this extensively revised and updated fifth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a new section that explores in detail the modernist tradition in architecture across the globe in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He examines the varied ways in which architects are not only responding to the geographical, climatic, material and cultural contexts of their buildings, but also pursuing distinct lines of approach that emphasize topography, morphology, sustainability, materiality habitat and civic form. It remains an essential book for all students of architecture and architectural history.

Download or read book Questions of Tradition written by Mark Salber Phillips and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tradition is a central concern for a wide range of academic disciplines interested in problems of transmitting culture across generations. Yet, the concept itself has received remarkably little analysis. A substantial literature has grown up around the notion of 'invented tradition, ' but no clear concept of tradition is to be found in these writings; since the very notion of 'invented tradition' presupposes a prior concept of tradition and is empty without one, this debunking usage has done as much to obscure the idea as to clarify it. In the absence of a shared concept, the various disciplines have created their own vocabularies to address the subject. Useful as they are, these specialized vocabularies (of which the best known include hybridity, canonicity, diaspora, paradigm, and contact zones) separate the disciplines and therefore necessarily create only a collection of parochial and disjointed approaches. Until now, there has been no concerted attempt to put the various disciplines in conversation with one another around the problem of tradition. Combining discussions of the idea of tradition by major scholars from a variety of disciplines with synoptic, synthesizing essays, Questions of Tradition will initiate a renewal of interest in this vital subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!. Vavilov. He was undoubtedly the first scientist to understand the impor tance for humankind of conserving for utilization the genetic diversity of our ancient crop plants and their wild relatives from their centres of diversity. His collections showed various traits of adaptation to environ mental extremes and biotypes of crop diseases and pests which were unknown to most plant breeders in the first quarter of the twentieth cen tury. Later, in the 1940s-1960s scientists began to realize that the pool of genetic diversity known to Vavilov and his colleagues was beginning to disappear. Through the replacement of the old, primitive and highly diverse land races by uniform modem varieties created by plant breed ers, the crop gene pool was being eroded. The genetic diversity of wild species was equally being threatened by human activities: over-exploita tion, habitat destruction or fragmentation, competition resulting from the introduction of alien species or varieties, changes and intensification of land use, environmental pollution and possible climate change.

Download or read book The Boundaries of Europe written by Pietro Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.
