Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Contemporary large scale interventions, leading ongoing transformation processes of world cities, are often related to mobility systems. Developed around the reconversion or the implementation of infrastructural nodes, they deeply impact surrounding areas within a more general rethinking of urban conditions. However, the relation between urbanity and infrastructure appears at least ambiguous. On the one hand mobility flows represent key components and engines for transformations, on the other hand their physical presence progressively disappears from the urban scene itself, subtly declaring a figurative irreconcilability between the two. Starting from this observation the book, as a contribution for the architectural and urban discourse, reflects on the status of a conflicting relation, with a specific focus on the 20th century, retracing paradigmatic design positions to outline in which ways these hidden infrastructures are actually reshaping the contemporary city scape and which are the opportunities in the architectural research. 100 b/w images The book retraces paradigmatic design positions to outline in which ways hidden infrastructures are actually reshaping the contemporary city scape and which are the opportunities in the architectural research.

The book is the catalogue of the exhibition 'In Balance - Islands, Taiwan and Sicilia' promoted by Nicola Marinello together with Group.G, and curated by Alessandro Martinelli, Massimiliano Robino and Yen-Wen Fang. The exhibition showcased 9 artists from Taiwan and 8 from Sicily, the work of which elaborates on different aspects of their culture and landscape of reference. By the means of this operation, the exhibition aimed to spark social and cultural exchange between two different island cultures, and to raise a question concerning the island culture as such. Indeed, the exhibition understands island life as a form of resistance against the homogenization of globalisation, a resistance that must be understood in its positive aspects in order to improve and contribute to the life of contemporary societies across the world. 80 colour images The book is the catalogue of the exhibition 'In Balance - Islands, Taiwan and Sicilia' which showcased 9 artists from artists from Taiwan and 8 from Sicily, the work of which elaborates on different aspects of their culture and landscape of reference.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Facies refers to the ability of architecture to enable, by means of its outward appearance, interaction between the space occupied by the building and the setting within which it is found. Architecture, Gio Ponti argues, is made to be looked at, because through the facades of architecture is a public landscape. The facades are the street walls and a city is made of streets. Restoring the facade to the world of meaning requires shifting the role of the building from object to subject, elevating it beyond the exclusive need to meet a set of requirements. However, architecture, to be recognised as such, shouldn't represent, signify, or symbolise something other than itself, but provide a process generating form that organises and builds its own assumptions within disciplinary autonomy. The world of forms thus refers to the wealth of architectural knowledge from which it draws nourishment and thanks to which it generates new forms.

As the co-ordinator of scientific research programmes and director of research conventions he has curated various exhibitions and participated in numerous national and international design competitions.

This book explores this deep relation, reflecting upon the role of environmental knowledge and conscience in the design of cities: the place par excellence for human life.

From their very origin, gardens have always beared an ideal tension between knowledge and pleasure, resulting in the archetypes of the botanical garden and the garden of pleasure. Botanical Garden was born, specifically, as an actual eristic instrument to order, classify and preserve living beings by means of spatial separation. Even if humanity had underwent a journey of dematerialization of knowledge, still space is the most powerful instrument for the comprehension of reality.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The perfect city is a vibrant organism of data and information, sensors and actuators, actions and reactions, generated by users and environment both. Ten thousand years ago the city was invented as an aide for evolving communities. It bought together the top innovators of the day. Now once again, the city must become a device for augmenting our life - hence the title of this book. As technological immersion increases, our cities must adapt and be responsive to our behavioural changes. In 'The Augmented City', everyday data-capturing devices monitor rainfall, pollution, water, energy, natural light and traffic. They process this information in real time, creating a seamless pre-planning system that will enable the optimisation of resources. Giving collective access to this information will allow the public to synchronise their lives to the surrounding environment. A utopic, yet attainable, vision of a future metropolis.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. At the beginning of the 21st century digital technology disrupted city life. The use of ICTs (information and communication technologies) has radically changed the way we inhabit and operate in the urban space. Over the last few decades an increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary work developed by architects, artists, urban and media designers has defined a particular landscape of projects that engage information technology as a catalytic tool for expanding, augmenting and altering public and social interactions in the urban space. Through essays, case studies and conversations, this book aims to present a critical historical overview of the impact of information technologies on the physical public space while providing an inspiring vision of possible future scenarios for the public realm in a digital culture. Through the projects and prototypes presented, the book aims to dissect the modes in which spatial practitioners operate in the digital city and how information technology and media are tools for place making.
