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.

She's won, among others, both Campiello and Strega prizes, which are the most prestigious Italian literature awards. Her books have been translated into 22 languages and some of her bestsellers - such as Storia di Piera [Piera's Story], L'eta del malessere [The Age of Malaise], La lunga vita di Marianna Ucria [The Silent Duchess], Voci [Voices], and Memorie di una ladra [Memories of a Thief] - were turned into successful movies. Writing like Breathing is a unique collection comprising some of her most important works, the majority of which have never been translated into English. The series is divided into four major volumes that are meant to give a full picture of Maraini's production from 1962 to the present: I. Autobiography, novels, short stories and poems; II. Plays; III. Articles; IV. Essays, talks and interviews. Writing like Breathing shows how the finest Italian woman writer alive today has embraced and fought for a vast number of issues: women's rights, abuse of women and children, emigration, discrimination, politics, the Holocaust, among many others.Moreover, this collection of Maraini's autobiographies, novels, short stories, and poems, emphasises the author's long relationship with Japan and the United States, countries to which she has devoted several books and articles, both autobiographical and fictional. Some unpublished manuscripts enrich this unique first volume: two short stories ("A Christmas in the Snow Globe" and "Aylan") and three poems ("At Night", "Rome", "Like Sea Bass Underwater"). The other volumes contain unpublished plays ("Diotima and Socrates," "My Name is Antonino Calderone," "Celia Carli, Ornithologist", and "Lia, Who Thought Herself Antigone"), essays, talks, conversations, and interviews given by the author at American universities.

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. 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.

This book is almost a manual of 'refusal landscapes,' within the Italian context framed through an international approach, inside the multiplicity of the dross spaces of refusal, to extend and clarify the concept of abandoned spaces, beyond Alan Bergers approach. Projects and research are used to engage and interpret the current and future city, in its geographical structure, infrastructures and forms of settlement, and towards a new urban metabolism.This book recycles strategies and multi-scalar design approaches, multiple design actions in different contextual life cycles physical, social, economic processes and programs, alternative scenarios and unpredictable paths of the Hyper-Cycle and Drosscapes. Working off Alan Berger's 'DrossScape' theory, this book explores the concept of waste-culture, where entire urban environments are built atop of mountains of their own refuse.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The aim of this issue of DIID is to describe design as inventor through narrations and illustrations of approaches, experimentation and projects. A useful mapping to re-read the design complexity in order to explore its present boundaries and lay down guidelines for its future developments. Invention pins down a possible solution that the maker uncovers amidst available knowledge. Thinking, inventing and producing: reality - the physical and psychic world - becomes material for continuous investigation and interpretation. Design research 'disrupts to re-arrange', namely, it seeks to achieve original results via re-discussing previously envisaged well-established paradigms and schemes. A penchant for experimentation and contamination allow to define design as inventor: a 'special place' not only for engineering invention, but also for a quest for new forms of behaviour, new material or sensory worlds that can originate radically innovative relationships between men and artefacts.

ILS-Innovative Learning Space is a Summer School organised in 2016 by the Ecourbanlab research facility, founded by Massimo Faiferri within the DADU (Department of Architecture, Design and Urbanism) at the University of Sassari. It was formed as a project activity SPIN-APP: Innovative Learning Spaces (Regional Law No. 7 Promotion of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation in Sardinia) in collaboration with the INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) and with contributions from Sardegna Ricerche through the project Scienti c School 2015. The general objective of the Scienti c School is as an innovative project for learning environments which can serve as a reference and model for the new realisation or adaptation of school education. To intervene on the project of school space means to reflect responsibly on the role that space itself covers in the dynamics of learning processes as well as to think about the renewal of the didactic organisation. The prerequisite is the articulation of a modular and multi-functional space suited to the subjective needs of the individual pathways of pupil skills, and which incorporates principles and material linked to good sustainable practices as their constituent elements, which can accept new technological tools as a form of enhancement of real space. AUTHORS: Massimo Faiferri (Cagliari, 1969) graduated in Architecture from the IUAV in Venice where he obtained a PhD in Architectural Composition. As Architectural and Urban Design Professor at the Faculty of Architecture of Alghero, he lectures on design at a number of academic institutions in Italy and abroad. In recent years his research fields have focused on the relationship between residence and city, investigating through the organisation of conferences, workshops and project experiences the latent potential of new forms of residence for the construction of contemporary urban landscapes. He lives in Cagliari, where he is a partner in the firm Studio Professionisti Associati s.r.l. Samanta Bartocci (Matelica (MC) 1974) graduated in Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture of Ascoli Piceno, University of Camerino. In 2005 he obtained a PhD in Knowledge and Culture of Architectural Forms and Design from the University of Camerino, Faculty of Architecture of Ascoli Piceno with a thesis on 'Anatomy of the Bourgeois Condominium'. He is currently teaching and carrying out research in the Faculty of Architecture of Alghero at the University of Sassari. 300 colour images Charts the progress of an innovative project for learning environments, which can serve as a reference and model for the new realisation or adaptation of school education.
