THESIS. The value of beauty 02.1.Abstract 02.2. Analytic index and previews 02.3.Maps/ Trieste

TESI DI LAUREA 02.1 ABSTRACT. IL VALORE DEL CENTRO- STORICO ARTISTICO. Prezzi edonici a Perugia; Bologna e Trieste The work starts from a fundamental question that drives the research from the beginning : what’s the value of artistic- historic centres?

Specifically, what is their value for the residential function?

Making this question involves on the one hand to explore the disciplinary universe concerning the heritage management, on the other hand requires building awareness on the territorial diversity that marks each specific context, and this is exactly the reason why were chosen three case studies as diverse as Perugia, Bologna and Trieste. Only after having a strong background on such issues is possible to consciously apply appropriate econometric techniques and tools.

The thesis summarizes the evolution of heritage protection discipline at national and international level; for each of the chosen case study it outlines ancient and recent events relevant in order to understand the urban evolution they have been undertaking. Just after giving this theoretical background the work applies the hedonic price method (HPM): an econometric method that is based on the detection of implicit values through the use of surrogate markets, in this case the surrogate market is the real estate one.

This market is helpful because of the properties characteristic to be composites goods, which means that they derive their value from their features and not from their simple existence.

Understanding the value of artistic- historic centres is not only a mechanical act assigning a number, but is instead a way to investigate many important questions: preserving for whom? What better management? What kind of protection?

What future? What identity?

02.2 ANALYTIC INDEX AND PREVIEWS

02.3 MAPS/ TRIESTE

The thesis is organized in two sections: one theoretical and one of field research, in both sections (chapters 1-2 and 3-4 respectively) the relationship between the images and the text is considered to be essential. Particularly important are the maps for each of the three cities, these help to understand the urban structure, contextualize the old town within the city, constitute a direct link to identify sites to which we refer in the text.

For each of the city there are also maps which precisely locate the samples used for the analysis so that it is immediately visible their distribution.

INTERNSHIP. Water 03.1.The Park Doors (with Ciclostile Architettura) 03.2. Slow velocity Setta Valley(with Ciclostile Architettura) 03.3.Polyhedral Adda (with YellowOffice Landscape studio)

03.1 THE PARK DOORS Ideas competition for the project of Delta of River Po park entrances. with ciclostile architettura

the proposed project includes a framework map that was shows the location of doors inside the park territory and othe six boards where peculiarities of each of them are shown: location, compared to the specific context, form, activities.

The idea that links all six projects is to design a door not only as an entrance or passage, but as a resting place that can comply with different requirements and needs ranging from educational to recreational. From the architectural point of view it was desired to call out one of the main characteristics of the Delta: to be an area below the sea level, which is why the six gates not stand as high as land-marks but rather are rooted in the ground communicating directly with places.

03.2 SLOW VELOCITY SETTA VALLEY for a new fluvial park (with CicloStile Architettura)

Setta Valley often goes undetected, yet all we cross It. Val di Setta is crossed from the A1 highway in its brunch just south of Bologna.

With the construction of the “Variante di Valico” (expansion of the highway) the “autostrade society” has earmarked a sum for the City of Marzabotto to use for works regarding environmental mitigation and compensation.

It is from here that developeded the idea to create a river park in the Setta Valley not only in the Marzbotto municiplality but involving also adjacents municipalities which also have to deal with the inconveniences caused by the construction of the new great work. The analyzes here presented are at a preliminary level and investigate the potentials of the area especially by an environmental point of view but also understanding existing rules rules and constraints.

03.3 POLYHEDRAL ADDA

Leonardo Da Vinci eco-museum: a new entrance inCassano d’Adda (with Yellow Office Landscape studio)

The river Adda is located east of Milan, easily reached from Milan and even more from Bergamo and Brescia and yet, despite the many attractions within it just few consider it as a tourist destination. Leonardo da Vinci worked and lived along its banks, the big power stations and industries from XIX century line up along its course as well as the rich residences and villas Ployhedral Adda because we investigated the many faces of this place: from the presence of accommodation to the naturalistic value, in pedestrian paths linking water and energy. The material produced will be useful to justify the initiation of an info point in Cassano d’Adda, the proposed new entrance for the park.

WORKSHOPS. Memory 04.1.Beyond insanity(Genova Summer School) 04.2. Gothic Line today (Villard15)

04.1 BEYOND INSANITY (Re-use projetc for the two dismisse mental hospital in Genoa)

QUARTO DEI MILLE Quarto dei Mille and Prato Zanino were the two mental hospitals in the city of Genoa used until the last century, their past is full of shadows ... what is their future?

The two structures are extremely different, the first inserted (with discontinuity) within a dense urban area is organized according to a regular grid which is divided, however, on several floors and sometimes breaks. Zanino is more distant from the city and surrounded by green, it is organized pavilions. The two plans of reuse, drawn up during the two-week Summer School Genoa, explore new possibilities for these two places, rescuing them from their negative image but still leaving them to testify.

PRATO ZANINO

04.2 GOTHIC LINE TODAY Territorio come luogo della memoria

The consciousness of the events that have marked (literally) the area deteriorates with the passage of time. The memory disappears. The work within the Workshop VILLARD15 tries to return its memory to the places crossed by the Gothic Line. The project traces the directions taken from the Allies army rediscovers strategic points and breaks new fortresses consist of industrial clusters. The territory is composed of layers: the story of the ‘900, but also the ancient and the contemporary vicissitudes are all part of a single project of landscape ranging from Castel Sant’Angelo in Tavullia.

UNIVERSITY LABS. 05.1.Pilsen post Coal (Chicago) 05.2. AA/AreaAlfa (LainateMilano) 05.3.Montello Barrack (Milano)

05.1 PILSEN POST COAL what after industrial conversion?

Pilsen is a working-class neighborhood mainly inhabited by people of Hispanic orgin in the first band of West Chicago. One of the main industries until now has been coal power plant that is closing along with many others in the area. It is therefore urgent to find a new vocation for a neighborhood that while it has its basis in the proletariat worker immigration on the other it is also rich in cultural and artistic movements that are expressed on the walls of the neighborhood or in the recent opening of the museum Mexican art.

The project after conducting socio-economic analysis, have considered the potential of the district inside and in relation to the city as a whole proposes a new structure for the long-river based on a new cultural industry.

05.2 AA-AREA ALFA Alfa Romeo ex plant

The former Alfa industry is today huge abandoned industrial space located to the immediate north of Milan, between the municipalities of Lainate, Arese and Garbagnate Milanese. These municipalities have entered into a framework agreement for a partial conversion of this space to commercial area resulting in new construction of a shopping center.

Took note of this reality, the economic needs and the constraints ruled by the PGT in force and the urban reality of the Milan area in the complex, the project seeks to provide a development for other parts of the area by transferring the CERBA (new center for cancer initially proosed, among thousands of controversy, within the Park South Milan) and providing for the construction of a new residential area with a mix of temporary and permanent residences to be implemented in three phases, each of which will only begin to completed sale of the residences of the phases previous.

Il progetto proposto comprendeva una mappa generale in cui veniva indicata la localizzazione delle porte e sei tavole dove si approfondivano le peculiarità di ognuna di esse: Localizzazione, rispetto al contesto specifico, forma, attività.

L’idea che lega tutte e sei le porte è quella di concepire una porta non solo come ingresso o passaggio, ma come luogo di sosta che possa assolvere ad esigenze di tipo educativo o ricreativo. Dal punto di vista architettonico si è voluta richiamre una delle principali caratteristiche del territorio del delta: quello di essere un territorio basso, è per questo che le sei porte non si stagliano in alto come land-mark ma piuttosto si radicano nel terreno comunicando direttamente con i luoghi.

05.3 MONTELLO BARRACK new life for the barrack

Montello barrack is, like many others, held for sale, it is located near the historic center of Milan, along the axis of the Sempione in an area characterized by high density close to big urban project City life. The project seeks a new vocation for this space so that it can not only become a new area available to the district but that can actively contribute to improve the energy performance of the area as whole. To test this will be calculated a series of indicators covering four main themes (People, Energy, Environment, Accessibility) obviously interconnected. The project involves the reuse of the existing green but also the rethinking of the road adjacent according to a “complete street approach�. It provides for the maintenance of most of the existing buildings, however, improving the energy performance, presumably moving from class G to E and the construction of a new residential and commercial building also useful to cover part of the costs due to public infrastructure costs

PHOTOGRAPHY. Colours and perspectives 06.1. Black and Whyte Bologna 06.2. Complex Sicily 06.3. A matter of people.

Morocco

BLACK AND WHYTE BOLOGNA

Bologna is the city that welcomed me immediately at the end of my studies and at the same time one of the case studies used in the thesis. Bologna is a city for which I tried fast and irrational affection but I also had to look with a critical eye, sometimes even through the lens of a camera.

COMPLEX SICILY

Three weeks in the most contended island of the Mediterranean Sea

Ours is the period of mobility, mobility easy and fast even over long distances. Westep down from the plane in an airport on the other side of the globe as if nothing but often do not know our own land. These photos were taken during a slower type of trip around Sicily, one of the favorite destinations for travelers since the XIX century.The island beauty is expressed, however, in many contradictions: a nature that takes your breath away, a long history of cultural influences and a carelessness already visible from details; by a door, by a step.

MAROCCO, UN DESERTO ANIMATO

What makes a high desert fertile ground? immediate response: water. But the water must be channeled, to be used, must be preserved and why serve the people. Are the faces, expressions, words, work that make a living desert, space, visited. The trip to Morocco was a trip to space huge and tiny, twisting alleys and streets for endless, but most of all it was a journey between people.
