In The Evolving European City, renowned urban planner and architect Giuseppe Marinoni and eminent photographer Giovanni Chiaramonte assemble a breathtaking presentation of cities that have undergone profound change in order to combat congestion, pollution, and the unsightliness of industrial wastelands. Marinoni conveys a profound belief that unified urban plans under the direction of one creative vision can bring an enhanced quality of life to city dwellers, provide them with the means to move easily to and from home, work, and at the same time ensure environmental sustainability. Chiaramonte, through his exquisite photographs of sites in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, and the United Kingdom, offers readers visual evidence of the architectural and infrastructure accomplishments of European urban projects over the last two decades. Beautifully presented in eye-opening detail, The Evolving European City is a timely representation of environmental sustainability and social progress in the modern age.

La popolazione mondiale cresce, linurbamento cresce, le citta crescono. Inesorabilmente. E inesorabilmente aumenta il consumo delle risorse non rinnovabili contestualmente al riscaldamento globale e alle emissioni inquinanti. È possibile conciliare tale progressiva e inarrestabile urbanizzazione con i principi di sostenibilita ambientale? Ma, soprattutto, qual e il modello di insediamento umano che meno confligge con i principi orientati alla salvaguardia del pianeta? Si, perche dobbiamo farcene una ragione, non e possibile abitare sulla terra a emissioni zero.

Breve elaborato sulle tecnologie a disposizione della Pubblica Amministrazione per garantire una vera e propria transizione energetica nelle caserme dislocate sul territorio nazionale.

As an industry that relies on extracted materials and an intense use of resources, isnt construction unsustainable by design? The pressure is increasing for the sector to diligently address the harm caused by the built environment, begging the question of whether real sustainability in architecture and planning is possible. As institutionalized and commodified greenwashing hollows out the term, how do architects and designers position their work beyond the inadequacy of a flattening universalistic understanding of sustainability? What forms of practice allow for accountable and revolutionized construction modes? How can we critically engage with technology as an ambivalent tool in the service of green capitalism. The first volume of a forthcoming series by RIOTResearch and Innovation On Territory, a laboratory within the Institute of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), On Architecture and Greenwashing presents a cross-section of positions on architecture and its political economies and explores ways to correct course in the face of a climate crisis of unprecedented magnitude beyond greenwashing.RIOTResearch and Innovation On Territoryis a laboratory engaged in pedagogy and research within the Institute of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), lead by architect and urban designer CHARLOTTE MALTERRE-BARTHES. Believing that the construction sector and design disciplines must pivot and wholeheartedly engage in the current social and climatic urgencies by rewiring themselves to face and repair the harm, RIOT utilizes tactics and strategies to decarbonize, decolonize, and depatriarchalize space productionby design.

Cosa puo insegnarci una citta che ha attraversato secoli di gloria e di sfide, su cio che significa rinnovarsi pur rimanendo fedeli a se stessi?Questo libro svela il volto nascosto della citta, attraverso un viaggio nel tempo che riscopre gli edifici, i monumenti e le piazze che hanno segnato unera di grande trasformazione urbana e culturale. Una esplorazione profonda delle tensioni tra innovazione e tradizione, dove lambizione di modernita del regime fascista si scontra e si fonde con leredita storica di Firenze. Il testo illustra non solo gli aspetti estetici dellarchitettura del Ventennio, ma anche le controversie culturali e politiche che ne hanno influenzato lo sviluppo, offrendo una lettura critica delle opere di architetti come Cesare Bazzani e Enrico Del Debbio. Attraverso una narrazione coinvolgente, il libro invita i lettori a riflettere sul significato dellarchitettura nel modellare la nostra percezione dello spazio urbano e della storia.

Lidea di citta-ponte sullo stretto di Messina dellarchitetto Sacripanti, prima che venisse bandito il concorso,da spunto ad una riflessione o meglio visione di citta e di societa con i suoi valori del tutto nuova che ritengo valga la pena affrontare.Cosi mentre lattenzione indugia sulle immagini iconiche del passato, delle affascinanti costruzioni Babilonesi e delle liriche architetture greche, il confronto con la realta contemporanea obbliga al paragone, nel riscoprirne il messaggio di grandezza, di mistero ma anche di tensione interiore e responsabilita, per la capacita di coniugare la convivenza civile con i valori della natura ma sopratutto con la spiritualita.Si conclude, grazie alla lettura di quellesperienza unica di architettura, che e la chiesa di San Francesco alla Vigna a Venezia, che esse non sono creazioni "individuali"o "personali" ma frutto di elaborazioni di tradizioni profonde e condivise: dalla tradizione biblica, a quella talmudica ed ermetica, alla cabbala, qui mirabilmente armonizzate, oggi piu che mai feconde, ma conculcate dallatteggiamento spesso corrotto, ipocrita dell"opinionionismo prevalente" imperante. Lipocrisia e il disastro totale sono dunque nientaltro che la somma della immoralita e dell egoismo individuale. Non a caso il prof. A.Paolucci sul mio libro sullarte defini lattuale epoca un utile concime per la futura era artistica.

Architectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of Aby Warburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organized Warburgs remarkable library. From 1927 Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferred to London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architectural commissioning continued, including projects designed by the avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminating in the construction of the librarys present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models: Buildings as Bilderfahrzeuge follows this history, using archive photographs, architectural drawings and a series of architectural models to show how the Warburg scholars projected a connection between their own physical occupancy of architectural space and their shared ideas about intellectual order, cultural survival, and memory.MARI LENDING and TIM ANSTEY are both professors of architectural history at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Their continuing archive-based seminar on the relationship between the Warburg Institute and architecture has developed into an exhibition and a book, not least because of the skilled participation of their model-building students.

Birth Houses (Mammisis) are important components of late Egyptian temple complexes but have not been investigated in detail since the fundamental study of Francois Daumas published in 1958. In the meantime, new archaeological findings as well as re-evaluations of theology and piety in Greco-Roman Egypt have considerably expanded our traditional understanding of these extraordinary buildings. Therefore, reassessment of phenomena and expanded research approaches need to be undertaken. This book presents the printed versions of the lectures given by international Egyptologists at the IFAO in Cairo on March 27-28, 2019, as part of the 1st Colloquium on "Mammisis of Egypt". In the publication, criteria and reconsiderations are put up for discussion that can be decisive for the identification and definition of Mammisis. The spectrum of topics ranges from theological basics (including the significant birth cycle) and typical features, through historical development and cultic events, to the architecture of these temple buildings. Special motifs, theoretical and iconographic concepts and finally the persistence of certain rites in modern Egypt are also covered. One chapter introduces current scientific projects and their methods that are dedicated to selected mammisis or chapels (Coptos, Deir el-Medina, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae, Bahariya, Kellis, Jebel Barkal). Numerous illustrations complement the contributions. They contain new material from excavations that is being published for the first time.

At the intersection of architecture, art, public culture, and political theory, Socializing Architecture urges architects and urbanists to mobilize a new public imagination toward a more just and equitable urbanization. Drawn from decades of lived experience, Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman engage the San DiegoTijuana border region as a global laboratory to address the central challenges of urbanization today: deepening social and economic inequality, dramatic migratory shifts, explosive urban informality, climate disruption, the thickening of border walls, and the decline of public thinking.Complementing Spatializing Justice, Socializing Architecture is the second part of a two-volume monograph. It continues to build a compelling case for architects and urban designers to intervene in the contested space between public and private interests. Through analysis and diverse case studies, the authors show how to alter the exclusionary policies and instead advance a more equitable and convivial architecture.Professors Cruz and Forman are principals in ESTUDIO TEDDY CRUZ + FONNA FORMAN, a research-based political and architectural practice in San Diego. They lead a variety of urban research agendas and civic/public interventions in the San Diego-Tijuana border region and beyond. Serving as directors, they are also invested in the University of Californias Center on Global Justice, which advances interdisciplinary research with an emphasis on collective action at community scale.
