In February 2018, the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence (DIDA) promoted an open and public analysis and evaluation of the research carried out by the Department during its first five years of existence in order to define its strategy, the relationship with third and second cycle education, the role of experimental research and the DIDALABS laboratory system, as well as of research units and inter-university research centers. The objective of the DIDA Research Week, through the documentation, communication and evaluation of the activites carried out by the Department in national and international research projects or in individual or exploratory projects, is an analysis and an in-depth reflection on the research activites at all levels carried out during the first five years of the Department: a wide and transparent reflection which communicates what the research carried out by DIDA is in all its different forms, calling the most qualified colleagues in Florence, Italy and abroad to discuss and to evaluate it and to contribute to the identification of future goals, strategies and actions. The transparency strategy in scientific communication developed by the Department plays a central role not only concerning the dissemination of knowledge but above all for the effective evaluation by the entire scientific community, certainly more effective than the current assessment procedures.The increasingly international dimension of research and education requires the maximum possible transparency and accessibility of research results. The Department’s commitment to supporting scientific journals, the DIDAPress publishing, the Communication Laboratory and the first DIDA Research Week itself aims to meet this need.

DIDA Research Week

Overview of DIDA research environment from 2013 up to 2018 Saverio Mecca Dean of DIDA | Department of Architecture

The product of fantasy, like that of creativity or invention, comes from relationships that thought does with what it knows. It is evident that thought cannot make connections between what it does not know, nor between what it knows and what it does not know. […] The imagination will therefore be more or less fervid if the individual has more or less chance to make relationships. An individual with a very limited culture cannot have a great imagination, he must always use the means he has, what he knows. (from Bruno Munari, Fantasia, Laterza, Bari 1999 [1a ed. 1977], p. 29)

This book appears one year after the fruitful experience of the first DIDA Research Week (DRW), of which it is the ideal conclusion. Carried out in February, 2018, but dating back in its preparation to the end of 2017, the DRW generated a wide participation from all sectors and “souls” of the DIDA, who responding to the invitation to “open up” toward each other as well as toward the outside world, reacted promptly and with the necessary effort, producing both a large amount of material (approximately 350 thematic posters) and a comprehensive exhibition mounted in the renovated spaces of the premises at Santa Teresa, accompanied by a thematic week that was rich in events and in which the deep significance of the research was placed at the centre of the entire academic activity. Events such as this have the aim of increasing internal and external interconnections to the academic reality and tend to the widening of perspectives in terms of action and thought. It is not only a question of taking stock of the research experiences but also of reflecting on the features of the context in which the research is produced, financed and disseminated. The idea that the integration of the various disciplinary contents and the overcoming of the sectorial barriers which traditionally divide academic knowledge is perhaps the only viable path for the future of research is increasingly gaining ground. Big Data, multi-dimensional models, micro- and macro-simulations and a number of systems for gathering, managing and interpreting data point to new forms of analysis and are clear indicators of a swift re-positioning of the figure of the researcher. In this sense, given the responsibility of universities in the process of training tomorrow’s researchers, it is necessary to ask ourselves straight away what adaptations are possible, given the conditions in which teachers, researchers, and especially students carry out their activities. The DRW has tried to develop this line of thought by placing among its objectives that of stimulating the sharing of contents, opening to reciprocal exchange and debate and the possibility of collaboration and the creation of new research models. Last but not least is the objective of a greater aperture toward students who, through the exhibition and now with this volume, have the opportunity of increasing their awareness regarding the world of post-graduate university research and of developing a systemic and creative idea of academic life. In other words they have the opportunity of perceiving the faculty as a system of relations, on the quality of which depend the development, health and efficiency of the educational and professional environments. Therefore, the motives that guided the creation of this experience are already present in the general approach to the configuration of the educational and training environment, and are closely connected to the concept of creativity and to design thinking. We often think of creative people as having a natural gift, but research has shown that creativity is a skill that can be taught, practiced and developed. The world needs creative thinkers in all disciplines, mostly in design; people who can tackle complex challenges and develop innovative solutions.

The educational system of our department in the field of global design traditionally focuses on teaching students “divergent thinking”, “open minded innovative design”— how to come up with multiple solutions to open-ended, unscripted problems. It is these types of open-ended and complex problems they will face as they pursue future careers as professional architects, designers, planners, or next professionals. Design thinking for us is a methodology that leads students through a process of human-centred problem study, from imagination and idea generation through a recursive “trial and error” process, through experimentation to define and solve problems creatively. In our design courses students are encouraged to develop multiple ideas, to demand feedback, to create a rough prototype, to discuss it with other students, to analyse and defend it from critics, test and refine it through a series of iterative designs. We as department of Architecture are favoured because we inherited the pedagogy taught in art and design studio classes, the tradition of training of the academy of fine arts, which we were part of, and the long tradition of learning by doing, which is how architects have been trained for centuries. A Creative Environment In brief, we are working to offer students a creative environment, an innovation oriented ecosystem to support Florence University students and alumni in their quest to explore, imagine and design the future world. We want to stimulate the innovative power of individuals, of young architects, designers, landscape architects and urban designers through essential disciplinary courses and a network of labs, DIDALABS, offering highly-experienced advisors and mentors, peer collaboration and interaction, and comprehensive resource and programming support. We believe that innovation and talents training needs both knowledge and design-oriented skills design, as well as an open environment where connection and collaboration, sharing different visions and competencies are the keywords. We believe that if we create and manage a similar fluid community bringing together the right mix of diversity of people, of knowledge, of cultures, with shared intentions and similar values, innovative and effective projects can be born. We believe in providing all the necessary support for innovation, including physical security, transparency, empathy, compassion, connection and opportunity for creative production. We believe in unlocking the unrealized value of individual talent that can have a profound impact on the markets, the world and on the individuals themselves who enter the environment they are trying to build and innovate. A strategy for nursing creativity Based on these considerations, the Department has taken the main decisions regarding the promotion of creativity both globally and for individual students, in the belief that professional competition will lie, in particular in the digital development of design and production processes, in the ability to innovate, on creativity based on rigorous methods, on a “reflective and responsible creativity”. We give importance to support creative individuals working in groups, and to prepare graduates to think creatively at work, in their personal life, and in society. We are operating to create an open learning environment, a creative environment characterized by these main factors supporting creativity: • ¥ interdisciplinarity, • ¥ variety of training experiences on the most relevant and progressively complex methods and design problems, • ¥ research and experimentation labs open to all students to support experiments, modelling, testing, by physical and digital technologies for simulation, decision and communication of their projects. Interdisciplinarity Our courses seek to help students learn the mindsets and skills needed to approach ambiguous issues, understand multiple viewpoints, to collaborate across disciplines, and to imagine and realise new solutions. One of our core principles is to nurture connections, to bring students together from different disciplines and different scales of design problems. When we run a class or workshop, we try to have architecture and design, regional planning and landscape architecture along with students from other disciplines students working together on a project, bringing different approaches and perspectives.

Furthermore, the students we are enrolling come from different universities and countries in order to generate a mix of people with different backgrounds. In this way the traditional vertical flow of knowledge is balanced and enriched by a horizontal exchange of different languages, experiences, competencies, ways of design thinking and learning, creating a social environment with a high level of cultural diversity. Variety of training experiences applied to the most relevant and progressively complex methods and design problems We found that the more effective and preferred strategies were short duration and high intensive design workshops where the students make design-related decisions through the application of the concepts they have learned, work together with students who most of the time come from other countries or at least other universities, and try to solve real problems with real stakeholders in the frame of research activities of our system of laboratories. These brief workshops foster the ability of rapid decision-making and effective communication on a short time frame. The credit hour for Design Studios normally ranges between six to twelve hours per week, with hours devoted to lecture sessions and hours dedicated to studio critic sessions. The role of the Design Studio critic session is that of ensuring that the design processes are well-informed and thus satisfy the project’s requirements. In the first year, Design Studios begin with basic and elemental design projects, then, in the following semesters of the 2 and 3 years bachelor degrees, students are asked to cope with much more complex projects. Students will complete their degree course with a final dissertation project, after which they are awarded their degree. Research and experimentation labs open to all students to support experiments, modelling digital technologies for simulation and communication Since 2014 we have created a system of laboratories parallel to the master courses, where research, training and knowledge transfer are combined with a proportion that varies according to the theme. The DIDALABS laboratories system consists of more than 30 laboratories on all basic and specific research topics, both supporting technologies and design research. The laboratories are important, as in the case of communication, because the new graduates are measuring themselves, with full responsibility, in real projects that would not have the opportunity to deal with at the beginning of a professional career. Moreover, being followed by university teachers and tutors gives them the opportunity to express themselves in a protected environment that mediates the transition from being students to becoming professionals. The DIDALABS system is a flexible and open system, opening and closing laboratories according to the research development in the project domain. At the same time, DIDALABS System is a resource available to all current students from any school belonging to the University of Florence who are seeking support for their design experiment. Some of labs are open for students who want to explore innovation and entrepreneurship at any stage. The DIDALABS provides all the physical and intellectual resources current DIDA students need to develop and grow, including one-to-one advising by experts, workshops, short courses and lectures. We are working now on new projects for creating open co-working spaces and incubators also available for any Florence student or graduate looking to develop his or her project, meet other students who are working on their start-ups, experts, entrepreneurs and public institutions to get support for project development and fund raising. I wish to take this opportunity to underline the experimental nature of the DRW experience and its potential to become a fixed occasion, perhaps annual, for the dissemination of DIDA research. By consulting this volume, students, researchers, authors, PhD candidates, teachers and readers will get a ‘full picture’ of the research projects undertaken, of their orientation and discoveries, both present and future.

Project and relations between fields of knowledge Giuseppe Lotti President of the Master of Science in Design

Project means innovation. And innovation today is an increasingly complex action, which results from the contributions from a variety of disciplines. The complexity of reality in fact requires complex responses. Human sciences, on the one hand, sociology and anthropology above all, capable of interpreting the variety of societies and their transformations. Psychology that deciphers cognitive processes. Engineering, in its various subdivisions – mechanics, information technology, management -capable of ensuring innovation on various levels. Economy which seeks to understand the rules of the system and looks with a scientific eye at the market. Art with its capacity to read weak signals and foresee the future. In this way the success of an innovation is increasingly linked to the capacity to hold all of these contributions together. But it is not only the sum of these contributions. It is something that necessarily goes beyond, if it wants to emerge from the variety of the offer. It is precisely within this scenario that the contribution of the project – at the various scales of intervention, from the territory to the city, architecture, the project, communication, services – seems essential. Through a systemic approach, the designer manages to hold together the various contributions, renders them immediately usable, and carries out a role as synthesiser and catalyst. A difficult task which goes well beyond individual specialisations which are typical of merely technical contributions, and which is expressed in the capacity of the designer to render thought visible. A project which, when confronted with the various contributions, comes out strengthened by this interdisciplinary approach. As Umberto Eco wrote a few years ago on the occasion of his experience as a teacher at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Florence (Eco, 1968), the architect is condemned, by the nature of his work, to be the only and last humanist in contemporary society: forced to think the totality while becoming a sectorial, specialised technician, devoted to specific operations rather than to metaphysical speculations. Whereas, more recently, Renzo Piano wrote: “That of the architect is an adventurous profession: a frontier profession, caught between art and sciences. At the boundaries between invention and memory, suspended between the courage of modernity and the prudence of tradition. The architect lives of necessity in a dangerous world. He works with all sort of raw materials: and I do not mean only concrete, timber, metal. I refer to history and geography, mathematics and the natural sciences, anthropology and ecology, aesthetics and technology, the climate and society. All the things with which we are measured on a daily basis. Architecture is the most beautiful profession in the world because, in a small planet where everything has already been discovered, to design is still one of the greatest possible adventures.” (Piano, 1997, p. 10)

Thus, apropos of design, Flaviano Celaschi writes: “The design we study today seems to be a knowledge that establishes relationships between other fields of knowledge. A discipline that would seem to consolidate around the sensibility of not producing an autonomous knowledge (or not having yet succeeded in doing so) in competition with the analysis capacity and knowledge belonging to the other historical lines of modern science; if anything, precisely by respecting the statutes and synthesised analytic knowledge of the other disciplines, it seizes and uses them as project input, as the foundation upon which to develop organised transformation actions of the world of products that surround us”.

And later: “Design as a discipline that lies at the crossroads of four knowledge systems (inputs) that do not traditionally communicate with each other: the ‘humanities’ and technology/engineering on one axis, and art/creativity and economy/management on another axis which stands perpendicular to the first”. (Celaschi in Germak, 2008, pp. 21-23) While Alberto Bassi writes: “We certainly know how to move on the ‘edges’ of a vast knowledge and ‘know-how’, drawing from knowledge and competencies that are both multi- and inter-disciplinary, following a ‘lateral’ form of thought and action that is the result of reason, inspiration and feeling simultaneously”. (Bassi, Bulegato, 2014, p. 12)

23


The section of the DIDA Research week devoted to Inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research, originates precisely from these premises. The various representatives of the different sections of the Department participated in the event, presenting the various “souls� of these sections, from architecture to design, from urban to landscape planning. Academics with competencies in other fields – from technology to sociology -, such as Marco Fioravanti and Leonardo Chiesi, were invited to enrich the discussion and feed the reflection, thus expanding the range and contents of the debate.

Towards an innovative doctorate Giuseppe De Luca PhD Programs Coordinator

The primary strategic aim of the PhD Programme in Architecture is the training of researchers who are highly prepared to carry out their activities with competence at an international level, with an autonomous capacity for critical research and highly scientific specialisation in the fields of the project and sustainable management of the territorial heritage that history has bequeathed to us: from natural landscapes to cities, from buildings to products. A heritage-oriented approach to the project and to management that requires a strong element of interdisciplinarity and dialogue between competencies and fields of knowledge. The educational project is characterized by eight study curricula which express the plurality of the disciplines capable of providing a balanced answer to the complex questions to be addressed both culturally and scientifically in a reciprocally integrated manner. The eight educational areas are those: • Concerning Urban and architectural design, with the specific aim of training researchers whose path is the result of a circular development of both theoretical and critical in-depth analysis and of project experimentation in the three main sectors of study: Architectural design; Urban design; Interior architecture. • Concerning the Technologies of architecture, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of interpreting and governing the processes of transformation of habitats through the project. In an integrated vision of the building process, the various forms of innovation represent the general context of cultural reflection and the objective of doctoral research within the four main study sectors: Quality of dwelling; Architectural, urban and territorial sustainability; Technologies for the built and natural environments; Management in architecture. • Concerning the History of architecture and of the city, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of addressing themes inherent to architecture and the city through history, from antiquity to the present, with the widest possible conception of cultural asset, and through the reflection upon the various research and interpretation methods, and their transformation in time. The refining of critical capacities is aimed to the drafting of scientific texts and to efficiency in the various modes and registers of communication. • Concerning Design, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of operating in research projects at the university level and in collaboration with entities and companies on topics related to strategic design, product design, and communication and services, with an interdisciplinary approach. • Concerning the Survey and representation of architecture and the environment, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of operating in the scientific field related to the analysis, documentation, survey and representation at various scales of both architectural structures and the environment. The educational and training process explores the fields of Design, Geometry and Survey, also through learning how to use digital documentation, archiving and data bank systems, and how to manage them in function of the project, from the scale of the territory to that of architectural buildings. • Concerning the Structure and restoration of architecture and of the cultural heritage, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of carrying out activities regarding five fields of study: the interpretation of the historical built heritage, the diagnosis of architectural and culturally relevant individual buildings or of their additions; the safeguarding of the built heritage through methods capable of linking the investigation of building techniques and materials with compatible choices regarding structural consolidation and strengthening, with specific attention to seismic vulnerability; the restoration, conservation and salivation of architectural assets and the cultural heritage; the structural design and research on materials and techniques, both innovative and traditional, to be used in anti-seismic prevention; the valorisation and safeguarding of

27


architectural and building cultures, present also in international contexts exposed to anthropic or environmental risks. • Concerning Landscape architecture, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of operating in processes of landscape planning and design and in research projects functional to them. The research fields therefore regard the landscape-related elements of territorial administration plans and the safeguarding of listed assets, as well as to projects involving the conservation, re-qualification and transformation of landscapes, using an inter-disciplinary approach. • Concerning Urban and territorial design and planning, with the specific aim of training researchers capable of exploring the various aspects of urban and territorial design and planning, focusing on the relationship between the design and planning of space and the administration of the territory. The educational programme explores methodologies, approaches, policies and tools for the analysis of contemporary regional urbanisation processes and for the construction of strategic scenarios and territorial projects which are integrated and participative, in an inter-disciplinary approach that includes environmental, ecological and political issues. The educational programme of the eight areas is included in the DiDALABS system, which is used not only as scientific support to research, but also for the transfer of knowledge. Furthermore, the PhD programme avails itself of the long standing cooperation activities undertaken between the various disciplinary fields, both in Italy and abroad, and of the relations with Italian and foreign research institutions, also with the purpose of ensuring the placement of the future researchers in the international scientific community and in production processes. Both the educational offer of the PhD Programme in Architecture and its organisation are therefore polyphonic, because they express the variety of fields into which the School and the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence is articulated. This comprehensive approach has been capable of providing a balanced answer to complex questions connected to the architectural, urban, landscape and product project today. In order to further strengthen this wealth and to better orient it to the new emerging needs and to national and European research and innovation programmes, a repositioning of the educational offer is being undertaken that will be divided into two separate PhD Programmes, organised by a Doctoral School. The idea is hat of designing two innovative ranges of action for the doctorate: one linked to the grouping together of project-related disciplines operating in the different fields; and the other to the project-related disciplines that operate at the specific level and on the product. All of which within a unified strategic objective at the level of the Doctoral School of safeguarding and caring for the cultural heritage and of ensuring the sustainability of every project for the transformation of the environment, both in urban and open-air contexts. Two innovative PhD Programmes: one international, focused especially on the experience of the project of what could be deemed the Italian school of architecture, on the historical dimension of the project, on the survey, restoration and rehabilitation of the heritage, from a perspective of safeguarding, but also of active conservation through applied research; the other intersectorial, focused especially on the project for the creation of a sustainable territorial heritage, on new forms of innovation of the economic-productive system, and on a new promotion of product sustainability and technological innovation, in other words on research in action. The new organisation and the objectives set for it (applied research and research in action), open a more general reflection on the role of the PhD student, and of the Doctor of Philosophy once he has graduated, who from a simple “post-graduate student” will become a “researcher in training”, as envisaged by the European Charter for Researchers, in order to become a source of innovation and of hope for change of the economic and social system of the country. The DIDA Research Week has always represented for the PhD Programme in Architecture, as for the other departmental research contexts, an important occasion for debate and intellectual exchange between the best doctorate research projects produced during the past few years, presented originally as a series of posters and now summarised in the information sheets included in this volume. Experiences of this type increase the opportunity for reflection, both within the doctorate and outside of it, and ensure a ‘continuous’ possibility of growth and learning for graduate and post-graduate students alike.

Clusters and applied research Giorgio Verdiani DIDAlabs Coordinator

The DIDALABS system is one of the main innovation in the transformation from the former “Facoltà di Architettura” and the new “Dipartimento di Architettura”. Its strength stands not in imposed rules, but in the will of creating a solution and a practical renovation in the approach to research and teaching. In a very short range of time, starting from the 2013 with a system based on a small number of laboratories (about 8) the system quickly grew up reaching about 30 laboratories, linking new disciplines and areas, offering new services, connecting a larger number of researchers and students and creating the full possibility to reach results of excellence. The development of the system, done side by side since the beginning by professors/researches/students has produced a versatile support tool, fully oriented to multidisciplinary approach in problem solving. The characteristics of a DIDALABS laboratory are quite simple: having a specific idea, being linked to a service or research proposal, having a well-defined space/room, being OPEN to students and other researchers/professors, presenting a vocation in hosting and promoting experiences. What it is not a DIDALABS laboratory is being a closed space reserved to single persons or small group activities or being limited by a lack in interdisciplinary interest. From the student in need to learn a tool to an entire research unit, the parts of the DIDALABS system are available to promote and support the possibility to reach a step forward in the reached result. Each laboratory in this system has a scientific director and the whole system has a coordinator, many laboratories have specific technical operators, the all of them are expert in the subject area of each laboratory, so anyone interested in exploiting the opportunity created by the DIDALABS system have more than one reference figure helping to find the proper links between each proposal/need and the system. Each laboratory started from a research or from the idea about offering a service, in this sense the difference between a “service laboratory” like a Modelling Lab (LMA/LMD) or the Informatic Lab (LIA) or the Photographic Lab (LFA) and a “research lab” like the Heritage City Lab or the Sustainability and Design Lab are quite evident, the first kind offers directly services with affordable costs and the possibility of experience practical technologies for all the students/researches, the second kind offers the possibility to enter and collaborate in a specific research field, developing researches, thesis, Ph.D., internships side by side with the activities of the labs. For a DIDALABS laboratory any request should be a challenge to answer with proper solutions, bringing on the subjects at the base of the laboratory itself. In this logic it is possible to foresee “connected” laboratories (“Laboratorio Congiunto” according to the common definition), with specific collaborations with external units/agencies, thus the presence of a “connected laboratory”, created following a research on contract with an external operator, does not necessarily mean that there is the creation of a DIDALABS laboratory. The function of a laboratory in the DIDALABS system is to offer the chance to access solutions, technologies, competencies while learning how to integrate each course or research experience with the specific function of the laboratory. Just to make a simple sample: the LMA (Architecture Modelling Laboratory) offers the opportunity to 3D print or cut CAD models, thus this possibility is not limited to a mere “service”, the users of the lab may ask for assistance, have indication, follow and work directly on the preparation/development of their projects, in case of research proposals, the lab can give consultancy about technologies and procedures to allow more efficient results. In this way the reason at the base of the DIDALABS is offering technologies with a proper competences support, helping the users to benefit from advanced solutions. The high cost of commercial services is compensated by the DIDALABS system effort in limiting from one side the “hidden” cost of learning, allowing the access to basic service like printing, photographing, 3D printing, surveying, scanning, using tools for diagnostics, etc… at very affordable conditions. The whole thing done not accessing to low level solutions, but most of the time to middle range to high range tools and solutions, always supported by appropriate technical operators. The presence

of specific technical operators, well prepared and always ready to correctly hear the requests from students and researchers/professors, is one of the core of the DIDALABS system, the presence of a range of well skilled professional, well prepared, devoted to their subjects, kind and resolutive when needed operators makes the real strength of the system. The results reached by the DIDALABS system is the introduction of a well working service, parallel to all the learning and research needs of the DIDA. The possibility of accessing to solutions and technologies has expanded the opportunities to all the courses, the technical operators and/or the scientific directors of the labs can meet the students in classes or in the occasion of workshops or can simply be the student to enter the labs and ask for which options are offered to his/her. And the options are numerous and most of the time advanced. Each professor has only to invent or define the solutions about how implement the functions of the DIDALABS in the next course. A talk with the scientific director, with the coordinator or with the technical operators may resolve the last doubts and the course may benefit from a new and interesting integration. In The presence of competencies open to implement a research has simplified the preparation of complex research activities: any scholar can start from a complete set of tools, fully available to the need of the research. A condition capable to move the starting point from the origin to the state of the art, an important step forward in the development of new studies and experience. Recently, the DIDALABS system has started to be directly part of research on commission and research project, creating excellent opportunity in promoting projects and offering the tools and the competencies for making advanced investigations, survey, documentations, designs, giving proper and strategic contributions. The activity in Florence, all around Italy and often abroad, has consolidated the team of operators and disseminated the image of a well working structure, which is not based on the way it appears but on a concrete knowledge and structure. The great potentiality of the system has been showed in the DIDA Research Week in itself: all the materials, contents, graphics, are products of the vital activities of our Department, produced using the machines and supported by the people of the DIDALABS system. Soon, the evolution of the DIDALABS system will see the completion of the ongoing reorganization in several “clusters�, grouping the laboratories according to their specific service and/or vocation/subject area, with a dedicated figure coordinating each cluster and referring to the general coordinator. In This way, the large number of labs will be easier to manage, allowing more efficient common choices and improving more and more the sys-

tem of interrelationships and sharing of resources between laboratories. The logic at the base of the DIDALABS system: “offering technologies trough competencies” should definitively go beyond the condition, quite common before the introduction of the DIDALABS of the “find solutions, do/learn it yourself”, helping the reach of better and more successful results to all the users/participants in the system of laboratories, while stimulating, with new requests, the development of the laboratories themselves. The success of some laboratories, highly request and continuously full of students getting benefit from the specific offer is not the final point of the system, the continuous reinvesting of the gathered resources in promoting new laboratories, little by little is increasing the quality of the system and enhancing the global offer. A process continuously ongoing and capable, if properly supported in the future, to push forward the quality of the teaching and researching of the Department and contributing in a significant measure to the quality of the whole University.

Understanding research through communication Concept, methodologies and tools of DRW Susanna Cerri DIDA Communication Lab coordinator

You want people to learn from you if they’re your students and your staff, and you don’t want to cripple them from getting ahead. You want to do your own work and succeed and grow, and you want everyone else around you to do the same thing. Paula Scher

Paula Scher’s words describe the feelings of a graphic design professional when confronted with the educational context: two worlds which, for many reasons, are not necessarily the consequence one of the other. The designers of Paula Scher’s generation, but also of the person writing this contribution, did not receive an academic education in project culture, and their training was largely personal, occasional, being the result of encounters and opportunities. The men and women who invented graphic design in the 1940s and 1950s were mostly self-taught and yet, in some ways, their work is still interesting, the tangible result of an insatiable curiosity not only about art and design, but also about culture, science and history. Today, an increasing number of high school students aims at pursuing a brilliant career in “graphics”, often without a proper idea of what it really means: an army of eighteen-year-old aspiring designers, who are sometimes only offered the possibility to learn an increasing number of graphic design programmes. The experience developed at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence is, in a certain way, an attempt to bridge the gap between two worlds, that of theory and of the profession itself, not only through courses, workshops and seminars, but also through the creation of a proper “laboratory” where to develop a cross-fertilization experience by “grafting” a “non-academic” figure with a long experience in the profession within a group of young graduates. The Laboratory works on projects in the various fields of communication (publishing, communication, wayfinding) and allows research to be carried on by developing as much interdisciplinary contexts as possible: the creative process favours innovation and the continuous critical revision of the work makes education and training pass through a process of osmosis. It is in this spirit and in full respect of its own characteristics that the Communication Laboratory has welcomed the experience of the DIDA Research Week, a complex event which only apparently is internal to the School of Architecture as actually being aimed at the dissemination of the results outwards and inspired by the principle of interdisciplinarity. The approach to the DRW has been consistent with the objectives of the laboratory, such as self-sustainability, namely the aim of providing paid services, thus including in the creative process also one aspect which is usually neglected or even omitted in the academic environment: trying to “sell” the finished product and to follow its production processes. However, designing and managing an event which has among its founding principles to provide visibility to an enormous amount of research projects and to organize them into a coherent system, has proved to be not an easy operation. The main problem has originated from the “fragmentation” of research itself, which is mainly due to the previous organisation model of the Department of Architecture that, over the past few years, has undergone a radical and certainly more integrated change. The main difficulty was therefore to bring together and make coexist on the same communication level research projects which were dissimilar both in terms of disciplinary sectors as well as of methodology and tools. The coexistence of such different projects within the same environment is part of the wealth of the Department of Architecture. It fosters debate and deserves being valorised. This is the reason why it was decided to

37


define an open graphic design that would favour a formal homogenization, not as a form of standardisation but rather a tool to enhance the differences. It is for this same reason that the authors of the research projects (PhD candidates, research fellows, professors) were asked to assembly the information on a graphic layout that has then been processed by the Laboratory. Of course, the assembly of the posters by the authors has highlighted the specific features of each research project, which have been maintained in the later editing stages. The use of thematic textures, the identification of hierarchies within topics, sectors, key words, all contributed to define a general framework that would maintain the idea of diversification into research areas or clusters which, however, share the same space, both physical and conceptual, theoretical and practical (which is why terms such as ‘map’ or ‘environment’ were used). The construction of this scheme was possible thanks to the synergy between the communication competences within the Laboratory and those of the academic and organisational areas of the entire Department. This was the principle upon which both the communication choices and the entire DRW experience were based. In fact, the DRW, since it consists of an exhibition of posters, a week of events and a book, forced the laboratory to work on several levels of communication, thus integrating more closely the activities of the publishing and communication sectors. Experiences such as the DRW have clearly an educational value. Actually working on practical aspects of important projects is an opportunity that most young people seldom have in other contexts, and at the same time it is an opportunity to experience teamwork, to take on responsibilities in the development of products and to be clear as to the motivations, thus learning straight away that design for visual communication is a job with precise rules and procedures, not just creativity or intuition. By taking advantage of the possibilities that the university offers, young graduates are selected through competitions for scholarships or fellowships and remain within the laboratory for relatively long periods, which range on average from 18 months (in the case of scholar-

38

dida research strategy


ships) to 6 years (in the case of fellowships). An important aspect to highlight is that this learning path is never suggested as an “incubator” for university career, but rather as a personal and professional training to be used “in the outside world”. Finally, there is another and more personal aspect to consider, that is how much the experience at the Laboratory is fundamental also for the professional. Being forced to analyse one’s own creative processes, to transmit the motivations, explain the references, or illustrate what usually is done as “part of the job”, brings about an unexpected, and often surprising process of analysis. And on an everyday basis, the ‘osmotic’ advantages of this relationship find concrete expression in stimulating, innovative and unexpected projects that foster growth, not only in the students. It is fundamental to understand how research-based continuous learning and training opens the doors to new projects in which all the individual experiences of the past can merge, regenerating energies and motivations, and how this is the basis for a new “student / teacher” relationship which both, not just the students, can benefit from.

Setting Connections Inter-university Centres Roberto Bologna Director TESIS Centre Full Professor Paola Gallo Associate Professor

Research is a strategic resource in international purview for the competitive development of a country when it comes to realise new opportunities for economic growth and social well-being through innovation and technological transfer foreseeing the synergetic sharing of heterogeneous subjects: University, Research Centres, public and private subjects, etc. The creation of innovation through research happens more and more under the form of network, which operates according to a reticular structure putting together in an organized form human resources, institutions and companies. The network is the expression of a new collaborative model finalized to the coordinated and organic offer of experiences and competences able to connect and make interact different ambits, political, economic and social, with the aim to elaborate proposals and strategies that would stimulate not only the innovation intended as creation of new knowledge, but also compared to knowledge circulation and diffusion. In this scenario it is placed that the activity of Interuniversity Research Centres (ex art. 91, D.P.R. 382/1980), consisting of more Universities in order to promote the scientific cooperation between professors and researchers to the progress of research activities with considerable commitment explicated on pluriannual-length projects. Professors, researchers and PhD students belonging to different universities venues, national and international, commit themselves in research and training activities in diverse multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary ambits according to a new advanced form of collective intelligence nourished by synergies and participation spirit that, thanks to a more effective management of the organizational processes typical of network, is able to valorise the specific competences inside the net amplifying the effect and the fallouts of the results of the actions taken at global level. The benefit to scientific innovations is amenable to the contamination of knowledges derived from the constitution of relations between a plurality of actors and is the result of the intensity and quality of relations between different actors even before the contribution of individuals. The three Interuniversity Research Centres (ABITA Centres, TESIS, CIST) present inside the Architecture Department DIDA, each operating on specific interests themes related to Area 08 (Architecture and Engineering), has been established with the aim to promote and encourage, though its own activities, the knowledge exchange and the scientific nature cooperations in the framework of the national and international research in the architecture field. The ABITA Centre, “Architettura Bioecologica e Innovazione Tecnologica per l’Ambiente”, is an Interuniversities Research Centre between Florence University, Milan Polytechnic, Federico II Naples University and La Sapienza Rome University, to which have joined in 2004 the venues of Turin Polytechnic, Genoa University, Second University of Naples, Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria. The Centre has been conceived to promote the cooperation, the exchange of information, data, methods and programs to develop research and training activities about the themes of sustainability, energy saving and renewable energy integration in architecture and in environmental technologies, elevating the characteristics and the standards of these treatments in academic teaching, in research and in external consulting for Entities and Administrations. ABITA has consolidated in the years a strong bond with the institutions of national and international domain, providing them consulting, technical and scientific support to draw up and realize strategical projects, of integrated planning, of urban revitalization, pointing towards environmental and energetic high quality objectives. TESIS, “Sistemi e Tecnologie per le Strutture Sanitarie, Sociali e della Formazione”, is a Research Centre that takes care about the development of tools, techniques and methods to improve the structural system of health and social services, for the promotion of well-being and citizens’ health, through research activities that inter-

41


est all the building process’ phases: from the programming, designing and realization to management, use and maintenance. TESIS is structured as a multidisciplinary scientific network, consisting of researchers, designers, environmentalist psychologists, doctors, economists, historians, technical-physical sociologists afferent to Florence University, La Sapienza Rome University and Turin Polytechnic. The scope of TESIS, as delineated in its statuary acts and progressively extended during the years, is to build a permanent exchange network of information with structures, organizations and public and private institutions, and to stimulate the innovation in realization processes of health and social structures with specific reference to hospital and training ones. Centro Interuniversitario di Scienze del Territorio, CIST, established to respond the need for a multi-disciplinary recomposition and coordination in the framework of territorial politics evolution from sectorial planning forms to integrated and multi-sectorial forms of territorial governance, has a precise interest in developing a research activity applied on the training of the landscaping component in the territorial planning ambit cooperating with public institutions to experiment innovative methodologies of intersectoral approach. Between the services offered by the Centre fall the multi-disciplinary methodological and scientific support activities to elaborate knowledge framework, politics and projects about themes related to the different articulations of territorial governance; individuation of innovative development lines for the diverse territorial, environmental, landscaping, urban and building politics. Between the actions that in the last years have contributed to strengthen the trans-disciplinary value of the research carried by DIDA through its Interuniversity Research Centres, we point the emphasis attributed to base and applied research internationalisation, on scientific projects that, through the results’ promotion and diffusion, have aroused a strong interest from the entire scientific international community, opening the field towards new opportunities of collaboration and participation in financing programmes and competitive calls launched by European Frameworks Programmes and Horizon 2020.

Moreover, support activities for researches and operators’ training join the research through the activation of III level university training paths (PhD Programme, Specialization School and Masters) and supporting actions to research professionalisation, contributing to the spread of a know-how culture between young future researchers, also through internship experiences abroad, so they acquire a wide vision of the meaning of make research, adopting innovative methods on scientific base for new technologies’ production. As important is the contribution provided through the stipulation of convention and third-parties’ agreements to the network active under the profile of cultural exchange and cooperation with institutions (public and private), and with the entrepreneurial world, for what concern those companies that have interest in extending or diversifying their own market through process and/or product innovation. In this perspective, the Interuniversity Research Centres act as facilitators in the technological transferring process, promoting and extending the University and its connection with industry and territory, encouraging cooperation initiatives to support the local productive system. At the end, it makes necessary a reflection about the future prospective, underlying the importance of focusing the role and the functions that the Research Centres cover inside and outside the academic world, also compared to their capacity of integrating research, experimentation and training, opening to industrial and entrepreneurial rules and behaviours to allow our Universities emerging and collocating in competitive positions in the international panorama.

DIDA RESEARCH

DIDA, the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, performed an open and public analysis and evaluation of the scientific research carried out during the first five years of activity since its establishment, in order to define its research strategies, their relationship with the 2nd and 3rd cycle education, the role of experimental research and the system of labs at DIDA (DIDALABS), as well as the role of research units and interuniversity research centers. The aim of the DIDA Research Week is to communicate the results of such research, in all the aspects which were carried out at DIDA during its first five years of activity. The most qualified colleagues, from Italy and abroad, along with professors and researchers of the University of Florence in particular, have thus been called to discuss and evaluate the research so as to highlight future directions and organisations.

The aim of this section is that of setting the basis for a complete compilation of all the research activities carried out by DIDA. The construction of the map was possible thanks to the collection of the thematic posters prepared by the scientific supervisors of the research projects for the occasion of the DRW which took place between December 2017 and February 2018. Every disciplinary section to which the various posters refer was coordinated autonomously by the area supervisors who, in close collaboration with the DRW editorial committee, drafted the lists of participants and established contact with the authors during the realisation both of the posters and of this publication. We are thus re-proposing these posters in a modified version for their publication, collected and organised into thematic sections. The process of synthesis and adaptation of the contents of the posters was carried out in full respect, when possible, of the order of the information and of the materials as they were drafted and handed in. Due to an editorial decision the management, editing and English translation of the texts were considered to be entirely under the responsibility of the scientific coordinators of the individual research projects and of the disciplinary area supervisors. For this reason the minimum necessary modifications were made to the delivered material for preparing the posters and for their publication. The graphic and editing activities were focused on: • the drafting of a common data base (credits column on the left), in which the definitions in the English language were made uniform so as to render them as comparable and integrated as possible; • the editing of the text (UK English), whenever possible, considering possible typographic errors or inaccurate definitions; • the establishment of a layout that maintains the same graphic line than the posters in terms of distribution and hierarchy of information, both internal and between one topic and the other (thematic textures); Out of consideration for the different approaches and applications of the research tools no intervention was carried out for homogenising the bibliographies.

Ur.C.A. - Urban (Con) Temporary Agriculture, a research project developed by UNIFI - ABITA Research Centre and DISPAA, in partnership with “Azienda Agricola Cammelli” financed by Tuscany Region. Target Main target is to define the potential of urban agriculture as new urban regeneration method: through research Ur.C.A system we defined, a strategy to refurbishment unused or marginal city areas. Research aims to improve possibilities and potentials of integrating agriculture in architecture, especially in transitional areas, as brownfield and marginal areas, taking advantage of hydroponic technologies in order to pursue an environmental, architectural and social requalification and re-functionalisation of urban spaces. Main focus is indeed on the design approach, that aims to define the principal criteria useful for both public administration and designers, improving urban agriculture with a temporary perspective. We can divide the design approach of the new urban agricultural space into three areas: urban regulation (planning and functional)relationship, social pattern already present in the area and of its critical points, technical aspects necessary for crop production and functional design. As results, research develop the first prototype of a temporary urban farm inside the city of Florence. With the Project Ur.C.A. and the involvement of the City administration, we have identified a central area where to install the first prototype: Largo Annigoni, near the school of Architecture and then moved the structure inside the Agrarian Institute. Scope was to demonstrate how the same prototype can be used focusing each time on a different characters of urban farming: creating new social enterprises in food production and selling, with local cooperative, involvement, attention will be especially stressed on the producing areas; When focus will be enhancing social participation, inclusion and education, the attention will be especially stressed on the common vegetable garden space, and rural culture dissemination. Temporary urban farming will be used to re-define a new role for the three mentioned areas, to reduce their local decay and to increase their value.

ABITARE MEDITERRANEO is a research project funded by the Tuscany Region, developed in collaboration with the University of Florence and 12 Tuscan companies, to create an open system as a platform of knowledge that promotes the improvement of environmental performance of the building as well as, provides participants with a key competitive tool in the promotion. The goal is to create a Centre of Expertise on sustainable architecture in the Mediterranean area increasing of competitiveness in the building sector by fostering the synergic collaboration between university research and regional enterprises, and by stimulating experimentation and continuous innovation in an OPEN SYSTEM: continuous updating of criteria and procedures in order to re-define a quality-based methodology for integrated conservation of existing buildings; defining new building models able to meet changing customers profiles, rising standards of indoor comfort in hot and cold season and the necessity of a more aware management of the available energy resources.

Mediterranean Approach: 5 ideas to share Architecture and Climate condition | The Mediterranean climatic condition requires building appropriate solutions: the problem of energy consumption for summer comfort can not be solved by following the logical construction of Northern Europe. To reduce energy cost, it is necessary to define innovative strategies in the building, which is strongly related to climatic and cultural characteristics. Inclusiveness and Change | The fast and dynamic evolution of social and demographic structure of the population of the Mediterranean area suggests a change, that determines the need for new models of urban spaces and residential use, with typological and technological innovations to support new social and intercultural issues. Identity and Competitiveness | The Mediterranean ecosystems and environmental assets are based on the knowledge of the art of living, the management of the landscape, the ability to stimulate cooperation on issues of sustainable development, for development of regional identity. And ‘on architectural elements and cultural climate in which the distinctive scientific subjects, companies and governments should aim to boost competitiveness at international level. Urban Transformation and Environmental Quality | Forced transition to a sustainable city of strategic importance to revitalize the area. To manage the population growth in the Mediterranean, the resulting increase in energy consumption and increased demand for comfort, it is necessary for the construction market provides appropriate solutions to new social needs and more environmentally friendly technologies. Innovation and Tradition | The Mediterranean architectural traditions of the past, full of potential and interesting cultural influences, represent an important heritage of civilization and it is from these that we must be inspired to develop new building components, high energy performance. There is the need to recover and innovate traditional design principles and increase the level of environmental and architectural quality of the interventions of building retrofitting and new construction.

TESIS develops criteria, methodologies and tools for the improvement of the structural system of health and social services with regard to building and systems design, through research on the whole building process, namely from the planning phase, to the design, construction, property management and related services. TESIS was founded in 1992 by an agreement between the University of Florence, the University of Milan and Rome “La Sapienza” in order to create a multidisciplinary scientific network, made up of researchers, architects, environmental psychologists, doctors, economists of universities related to the structure. The Centre was originally set up to exchange knowledge and information between professors and researchers engaged in research and training on systems and technologies for health facilities. Over time, the activity has extended to the field of social housing, intended with a wider exception, in reference to issues as social housing and university buildings on which researches and insights have been developed concerning the question of residences for university students and the definition of criteria of economic management and sustainability in the revision of the principles of planning for university training facilities. The scientific research activities are characterized by an operational approach in which the intersection between research, training and innovation is the fundamental key to competitiveness. Research activities are dealt through a continuous dialogue between different disciplines such as environmental psychology, sociology and environmental physics, which are essential for translating the knowledge inherent to the requirements into a common language. TESIS has strengthened its institutional relations with prestigious international organizations. At the national level, it carries out research activities on behalf of, among others, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, University and Research. On behalf of the Public Health Group (PHG) of the UIA - International Union of Architects, it carries out the dissemination of the culture produced by publishing the Proceedings of the seminars and conferences held.

L. 338/2000 National Plan for University Student Residence Halls Evaluation of co-financing requests

Scientific Coordinator Roberto Bologna (from 2017) Romano Del Nord (2001-2017) Coordinator Claudio Piferi Partnership MIUR Ministry of Education, Universities and Research CDP S.p.A. Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Research Group (2013-2017) Adolfo F. L. Baratta Laura Calcagnini Sandra Carlini Gianluca Darvo Mario Di Benedetto Giuseppe Fialà Maria G. Giardinelli Francesca Nesi Matteo Randazzo Valentina Santi Andrea Sichi Alessia Spirito

The Law n°338/2000 “Provisions on housing and residence halls for students” and related implementing decrees establish state co-financing for interventions promoted by both public (Regions, Autonomous Districts, Regional management Authorities for the right to university study, public universities) and private authorities (private universities, colleges and university consortia, NGOs operating in the field of the right to university study) aimed to: • remove architectural barriers in existing buildings used, or to be used, as residence hall; • adapt to current regulations on safety and extraordinary maintenance, energy retrofit, restoration, renovation of existing buildings used, or to be used, as residence hall; • build new constructions and purchase of areas and buildings to be used as residence hall. A list of merit is drawn up by a special commission appointed by the MIUR and a contribution not exceeding 50% of the total cost is granted to the winning projects. The funds are divided among the projects with a three-year plan and are disbursed on the basis of the progress of the works according to the timing and procedures envisaged for each intervention. The Law 338/2000 was implemented with 4 separate calls for proposals: • September 2002 (DD. MM. 116/2001 and 118/2001 - 09 May 2001); • December 2007 (DD. MM. 42/2007 and 43/2007 - 22 May 2007); • July 2011 (DD. MM. 26/2011 and 27/2011 - 7 February 2011); • May 2017 (DD. MM. 936/2016 of 28 November 2016 and 937/2016 - 29 November 2016). The aim An agreement stipulated with the MIUR is in force, through which the TESIS centre: • provides counselling to subjects interested in obtaining co-financing, in the preceding phases to the deadline for submission of applications; • carries out evaluation activities of the projects presented in order to verify the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the project and the respect of the procedural and design criteria established by law.

The TESIS Centre has stipulated an agreement with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A., with which, in relation to the interventions in the three-year national plans, it carries out monitoring activities through the development of tools and control actions aimed at evaluating the correctness of the procedures, the call for tenders up to the commissioning of the student residence halls. The monitoring process consists of two phases: 1. Verification during the execution of the work: • control of the progress reports; • inspections and visits to construction sites; • assessment of the consistency of variance survey with respect to the co-funded program; • preparation of economic frameworks for the possible recalculation of the amount of co-financing. 2. Verification of full functionality and commissioning of the student residence hall: • verification of the correctness of the documentation proving the full functionality of the work; • final inspection of the student residence hall and verification of conformity between the project that had been co-financed and the student residence hall completed. TESIS provides, within the scope of this agreement, support for the Ministerial Commission set up pursuant to the Law 338/2000 for all the activities related to the release of the permits for the provision of the state contribution, to the verification of the correct progress of the works, to the proposals for withdrawal of co-financing.

Humanization of Care Spaces

Scientific Coordinators UNIFI | TESIS Romano Del Nord POLITO| DINSE Gabriella Peretti Partnership UNIFI | TESIS Systems and Technologies for Social, Healthcare and Educational Facilities POLITO | DINSE Polytechnic University of Turin Department of Science and Techniques for Settlement Processes MINISTRY OF HEALTH CIRPA| Inter-university Research Centre of Environmental Psychology TESIS Research Group Gianluca Darvo Alessandra Cucurnia Giuseppe Ridolfi Daniela Sorana Donatella Lippi Marino Bonaiuto

The contest The concept of humanization in healthcare was developed along the evolutionary process that led to a change of the way health is perceived and of the means used to guarantee it. The biomedical approach, in which the diseased organ was to be treated, has evolved into the bio-psycho-social one, introducing a multidimensional view of health, which has shifted the focus from the disease to the individual in all its complexity. The cornerstone of this vision is the patient centricity and, therefore, his relationship with the surrounding space and the people with whom he or she relates. The aims The research Humanization of Care Spaces carried out for the Italian Ministry of Health, by TESIS (University of Florence) and the Department DINSE (Polytechnic University of Turin) under the responsibility of Professors Romano del Nord and Gabriella Peretti, has set as its overall target to systematize in organic form the framework for the design of care spaces in terms of humanization, considering as a priority the needs of psycho-social and physical well-being of users. This fits consistently within the major international guidelines related to hospital design, which recognize in the humanization of social and health facilities a central factor in innovation, both in terms of clinical and medical assistance provided, and from the point of view of the building structures project. The research highlights how, in care spaces for sick people, where the fragile condition of the patient is faced with the frequent absence of comfort, warmth and well-being, focus on humanization can provide conditions that contribute to accelerate the process of healing and alleviating the disease. This is a further proof of what has already been seen in high level projects and buildings, where post occupational evaluations are, in fact, highly positive (Del Nord, 2011). The project guidelines, which are already taken into account by careful and proper planning, were structurally organized in relation to scientific, international and cultural references contributing to the spread of knowledge and cross tools also useful, and mainly to who is not used to face these issues. For an interdisciplinary and pragmatic research, in addition to the group of researchers from the two universities, also qualified teachers and researchers of hospital design, environmental psychology, health statistics, sociology, medicine, medical and nursing staff and managers of the structures had been involved.

The contest The increasing importance of cost containment in healthcare following the 2008 financial crisis has added constraints to the sector. Moreover, shifting trends in epidemiology (mostly an increase in multi-chronic conditions and an aging population) demand changes in healthcare and service delivery. There is need therefore to accept that hospital designs of the past are no longer appropriate. The challenge is to be ahead of the curve while avoiding major mistakes with regard to anticipating future needs. The current pace of change in healthcare makes it difficult to reconcile extended periods of time between design and completion, which can still take up to 10 years even in advanced European countries. However, innovation allows for shortened construction times, which should enable designers to think progressively and take advantage of the opportunity. The first step to accelerate the full construction cycle is to re-evaluate the various procedures and stages of decision-making. Rather than prioritizing administrative procedures, decision-making steps should progress with an emphasis on the opportunity cost of delays. There is increased emphasis on providing greater attention to economic impact in the building process. Economic development is rapidly progressing and its impact must be better taken into consideration during the design and the construction process. Well managed finances can contribute to reduced costs. The aims The aspects of experimentation and the prefiguration of future scenarios for healthcare represent a constant reference point for the TESIS Centre as a support for the comparison of ideas and trends perceived by opinion leaders with whom the TESIS Centre constantly interacts. Starting from an international workshop held in Florence in 2014, a joint project, “Reducing hospital costs through better design�, is currently being developed with UIA-PHG (International Union of Architects - Public Health Group) and IHF (International Hospital Federation) in order to develop guidelines and recommendations aimed at directing the planning and design of hospital facilities towards solutions that allow the containment of the costs of initial investment and during the following phases of use, management and maintenance of the structures. A part of research focuses on the definition of specific benchmarks for evaluating the maintenance and energy costs in Hospital Buildings. The identification of benchmarks about hospital maintenance costs has the objective to mapping hospital maintenance consumption, and then to direct economic resources towards those buildings that require intervention priorities.

The research theme concerns birth spaces with the purpose of identifying the best spatial and environmental conditions for users (in terms of both workload management, comfort and care) and supporting a participatory process in order to implement the awareness of birth. Due to the recent increasing of the intervention rates in childbirth, the crucial point of this research is trying to understand how the physical environment affects childbirth outcomes and exploring the connection between birth spaces and users’ experience. Many studies have shown how the designed environment influences patient and staff health outcomes by affecting the behaviour, experiences and interactions of users. This power of the environment has important consequences also in birth spaces, both at the unit and the room scale.

The built environment plays an important role in preventing and promoting health, especially in our cities. Studies show how the built environment affects public health and in particular chronic diseases at least in two ways: with the presence of toxins and pollution, and because it acts on lifestyles (physical activity, healthy diet, positive social interactions). Healthy Neighbourhoods and Towns means integrated multifunctional settlement systems designed to promote community health and care. The size and the multifunctional character of a neighbourhood and its relationship with a metropolitan area are factors that influence healthy lifestyles for everyone in the respect of specific needs, preferences and choices. The “Casa della Salute” (CdS) model of the Tuscany Region has the potential to coordinate primary care, act in diseases prevention, and favour promotion of healthy lifestyles with structures embedded in the neighbourhood environment. CdS could enhance its role in care activities by promoting health environments both indoors and outdoors. CdSs were established in the regional territory from 2007 and 2015; more are projected to be implemented according to this aim in order to attend health needs of the population, especially chronic patients at the district level.

Hospital Public Spaces

Assessing flows and accessibility

SPACES Scientific Coordinator Maria Chiara Torricelli TESIS Research Group Nicoletta Setola Sabrina Borgianni Angela Masciullo Partnership UNIFI | TESIS Regione Toscana | FAS Space Syntax Ltd | UK AOUC | Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Careggi

The presentation of public spaces inside a hospital is one of the most important factors that helps to shape contemporary hospitals and makes the hospital not only a place dedicated to health but also to urbanity and to the relationship between the city and the health facilities as well as between patients citizens and workers. The transitionary nature of public spaces inevitably leads to address the topic of “flow”, a continuous and widespread flow that is then channelled to accompany the user through shifts from mainly public and fluid spaces to private and delimited spaces. The users’ experience during the flow also concerns the accessibility to the building, the possibility of orientation in the building, the comfort perceived in the different areas of the hospital and the familiarity that the user can establish in contact with certain spaces.

Public spaces are spaces that do not appear as functional areas in traditional design guidelines and whose aspects have still not been fully analysed or studied. The 3 researches here aim to an analysis and assessment of public spaces and their impact on individual actions and behaviours, dealing with spatial indicators for health policies, requirements for spatial layout design, and perception of users.

SPACES (2011-2013) SPACES is an interdisciplinary research project that studied the relationship between the right to health, design and hospital space utilization with the objective of providing criteria and indicators for the evaluation of those spaces and the public policies that affect them. The research was funded by Regione Toscana within EU FAS program and was developed by a UNIFI group of legal experts, architects and sociologists. FlAA (2014-2015) Flow Analysis and Accessibility in the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna is a research funded by the Bologna Health Trust. The aim was an assessment of the pedestrian, vehicular and logistics flows in the public area of the hospital. The research followed these steps: paths surveys, accessibility evaluation, critical points and their impact on users’ experience, defining of new design requirements, and proposal of different designing scenarios.

Con frequenza minore si verificano interferenze fra flussi di persone ed il flusso sanitario barellati dal pronto soccorso al pronto soccorso ortopedico. In parte questi fenomeni possono essere interpretati e compresi grazie alle analisi dell’accessibilità dello spazio.

Dal confronto delle mappe delle osservazioni con il modello di accessibilità dell’interno si può notare che i punti in cui le persone hanno problemi di orientamento (simbolo persona rossa) corrispondono alle aree più integrate, ovvero più accessibili (colorate in rosso). Questo significa che le persone hanno bisogno di precise informazioni in corrispondenza di determinati punti, i punti più facilmente accessibili dove vi si arriva senza bisogno di ulteriori indicazioni ma dai quali si dipartono più direzioni verso aree meno accessibili. In questi punti le persone hanno bisogno di adeguate informazioni per potersi orientare.

The issue of accessibility and safety in public health services is explicitly addressed in many of the analysis and verification procedures for performance and quality assurance, as well as in specific regulatory guidance: are remembered the D.P.C.M. 19 May 1995 (Charter for public health services), the quality assessment systems, like those AGENAS (Agenzia Nazionale per i Servizi Sanitari Regionali) and recent analysis campaigns defined in the framework of specific studies such as the cognitive survey on the hospital pathways of people with disabilities, carried out by the National Observatory on Health in the Italian regions. The Tesis Centre, in agreement with the University Hospital of the Scotte in Siena, has defined an operational plan, realized in 3 macro phases, with the aim of defining a plan of the interventions necessary for the attenuation/overcoming of the “architectural barriers”. The Objectives of the research programme can be summarised as: • Realization of an intervention model (system for overcoming architectural barriers); • Definition of methods of verification and monitoring of the system for overcoming architectural barriers. Coordination with safety planning for users and medical professionals.

The second session ‘’Design Issues for Healthcare Buildings’’ provides an overview of design solutions that improve the quality of life of users at all stages of life, from birth to old age. The excursus leads to a reflection on how it is essential for care environments to be safe and ahead of the new technologies, while at the same time they should take into account the social and psychological sphere of patients, family members and staff who attend the facility. The third session ‘’Planning and Design Healthcare in Developing and Newly Industrialized Countries’’ outlines a broad framework of initiatives and activities designed and implemented in developing countries. The situation described emphasizes the important role of the designer in the construction of new buildings and the guidelines for interventions to improve the buildings system, moreover as a researcher a designer can analyze the needs of the local population as well as document the de facto state of existing buildings.

visibility, proximity and intelligibility affect people’s behaviour and interactions in hospital public spaces. Based on the authors’ research, the book includes detailed analysis of three hospitals and criteria that can support the design in circulation areas, arrival and entrance, first point of welcome, reception and the interface between city and hospital. The book is illustrated with 150 black and white images.

Contributions concerning alternative approaches tested to ensure adequate assistance for the growing spread of chronic diseases and co-morbidity in elderly people are particular stimulating. This problem, in addition to enhancing awareness of the set up of the entire system of regional public health services for an ever broader range of users, raises some questions on the characterization of spaces where environmental logistical support prevails over the true function of care.

Proceedings edited by Romano Del Nord

Designing Public Spaces in Hospitals

Particular attention was paid to problems deriving from the need for “integration”, for which the hospital must ensure an adequate response given that users of different cultures tend to co-exist with similar health demands while their expectations over treatment methods often vary.

Percorsi, flussi e persone nella progettazione ospedaliera

As regards the increasingly marked and widespread attention to the “patient centrality” requirement, the existence of very different design solutions was noted, which were particularly stimulating due to the understanding of the impact generated by “lifestyles” on the arrangement of the care environment.

Il processo attuativo del piano nazionale di interventi per la realizzazione di residenze universitarie

Anche grazie all’emanazione della Legge 338/2000 “Disposizioni in materia di alloggi e residenze per gli studenti universitari”, infatti, negli ultimi anni non solo è stato messo a disposizione degli studenti universitari un numero sempre crescente di posti alloggio, ma residenze e servizi esistenti si sono trasformati radicalmente, così come le modalità di programmazione degli interventi e di gestione degli immobili da parte di soggetti pubblici e privati. Operazioni complesse di sviluppo edilizio e gestione immobiliare, contratti unici per l’affidamento dei lavori e della gestione delle residenze, interventi di rigenerazione urbana attraverso il recupero e la riqualificazione di intere aree dismesse o di singoli edifici storici anche di pregio, realizzazione ex-novo di strutture ricettive caratterizzate dai più alti standard in temi di qualità architettonica e ambientale e il confronto con le recenti esperienze europee e internazionali, sono solo alcuni dei temi approfonditi nei contributi pubblicati nel volume che raccoglie le riflessioni di studiosi, professionisti e operatori del settore.

Scientific Coordinators Antonio Capestro Leonardo Zaffi Address Santa Teresa, via della Mattonaia, 8 Firenze Lab Technician Aldo Regoli

The “Architettura e Autocostruzione” Lab, belongs to the DIDALABS net, and is focused on research development and students training. The Lab is aimed at developing, increasing and promoting the culture of auto-construction in the architectural design. This cultural activity comprehends all the experiences, at the different scales, including all the steps of the objects fulfilment, from the conceptual design to the final realization. The research activities are made on real models, prototypes and 1:1 scale systems, which are both the final product of the work and in–progress subject of study. The proposed procedure, based on the adoption or models in the design developing and optimization, can be applied from the urban scale, such urban staging and temporary constructions, to the detail scale, such as structural nodes or single components. The “Architecture and Auto-Construction Lab” supports all activities where the adoption of 1:1 models is an essential part of the students training, or research and integrative activities.

The Prato Laboratory, born from an agreement between DIDA and the Municipality of Prato, coordinates the consulting, research and didactic activities carried out by DIDA in the territory of Prato. Prato is the third largest city in Tuscany after Rome and Florence, and the second one in Tuscany after the capital of the region. Despite the crisis of the district, it is still the most important centre of wool manufacture in Italy and is home to the main European district of Pronto Moda. More than 120 ethnic groups live together in Prato, with problems of compatibility between different uses and customs. This city is home to the third largest community of Chinese origin in Europe, after London and Paris. Prato is a real experimentation forge in which new approaches to governance and design are tested. The Laboratory carries out various activities including: • organization of project workshops on themes of particular interest for the administration of Prato, in coordination and with the support of public and private institutions in Prato; • coordination of degree theses that have as their object the territory of Prato; • organisation of thematic conferences and seminars; • research activities, also on agreement with administrations of the Province of Prato.

The proposal of a TEST CELL for the Mediterranean climate has been part of a research project Abitare Mediterraneo, funded by the Tuscany Region as part of the POR CREO Fesr 2007-2013 and developed by the Department of Architecture of University of Florence, jointly with 12 local building sector’s companies. Main project objective is to develop a technological innovation and architectural quality system in which test real application in the construction field, increasing energy saving and promoting a close collaboration between manufacturing companies, builders and research centres. As a significant result of this research, Test Cell LABIMED was realized in order to investigate the overall energetic and thermophysical performances of opaque and transparent façade systems testing full scale products by means of dynamic measurements in real climatic conditions. The project of Test Cell LABIMED moved on from the outcomes of the research activities carried out during PASSYS and PASSLINK projects. They focused on the development of agreed quality procedures for full scale test and dynamic data analysis investigating the energy quality and thermophysical properties of passive solar building components as the thermal transmittance U, the solar factor g-value and the dynamic behaviour. Test Cell LABIMED has been designed likewise the other PASSLINK Test cells, but some improvements were achieved to overcome some critical aspects such as overheating, thermal bridges effects, problems due to infiltrations and heat conductive parts. The advantages offered by using test cells compared to other methods depend on the possibility to test full scale façade systems by means of well-controlled realistic room sized environment equipped with advanced measuring instrumentations providing a high quality of output data coming out from the dynamic monitoring test. Reliable data sets can be largely used for data analysis and to validate the most common building energy simulation tools.

TEARC is a permanent workshop set up by the collaboration between the Department of Architecture and the company TSK | Teatro Studio Krypton. TEARC is aimed to the research, education and knowledge transfer from the architecture field to that of theatre, in order to create the relationship between space and time and resulting into events and performances. The laboratory is made up with operational activities which are applied in the field of architectural and setting design, such as theatrical, exhibition and fair setups and sceneries. From the urban perspective the “mise-en-scene” turns into instruments for enhancing the city itself. The TEARC workshop tackles the scenes machinery, starting from the assessment of the historical theatrical devices and up to the newly technologies. The learning-by-doing activity embedded into the “Nel chiostro delle geometrie” project is developed along with this didactic path, applying a specific methodology in order to combine the didactic and operational activity. The workshop project is formed by a permanent workshop and performing actions. The former involves the architectural students, whilst the second is addressed to realize events as such as poetical and dramatic readings, music and light performances realised by the workshop students.

The restoration of the “Ancient Duomo of Pisa”

Evaluation and monitoring of conservation techniques

Scientific Coordinator Susanna Caccia Gherardini Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Stefania Aimar Francesca B. Giusti Salvatore Zocco CNR | ICVBC Emma Cantisani Fabio Fratini Barbara Sacchi Silvia Vettori Partnership Phase Restauro

The approach to the restoration of the church of San Paolo a Ripa d’Arno by Piero Sanpaolesi, who worked on the building mainly following the damages it suffered as a consequence of the bombings, can be contextualized within the broader scenery of the postwar restoration efforts. The accurate analysis of the historic events from the construction of the building throughout its modifications, resulting from the investigation of historic sources and the direct validation with the construction materials, is the outset to test the operational aspects of the ongoing restoration. It allows to validate the historical events through archives’ research, and to evaluate and monitor the various restoration techniques. The many investigations performed during the examination phase establish the ground for a critical and informed selection of the methodologies to be applied during the working phase. The research aims at identifying the methodologies which are most suitable for the restoration by means of evaluating the technologies and products first in laboratory, then on site, primarily for the consolidation of the external surface of the building.

Scientific Board Susanna Caccia Gherardini Luisa Rovero Ugo Tonietti Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Stefania Aimar Michele Coppola Francesca B. Giusti Giovanni Minutoli Sara Stefanini Gianfranco Stipo Salvatore Zocco

The cognitive project of the system consisting of Villa Garzoni, its historic garden and the buildings - including Filippo Juvarra’s Summer House -, and the village of Collodi standing behind, has involved many researchers from different academic fields. The complexity of the system has been investigated and analysed according to different, though complementary, points of view so as to define a unitary project with intertwined complementary interpretations. The research will be summarized in a sequence of thematic boards moving from the rendering of the geometrical information, to the reading of the buildings’ and artefacts’ polymatericity as well as their alteration and degradation (an in-depth analysis of the materials’ chemical-physical characteristics has been carried out by the CNR Laboratory in Florence) to the definition of guidelines for restoration interventions.

The Historic Centre of Florence, enclosed by a circle of paths that over the old medieval wall of the city, was admitted onto the World Heritage List in 1982 during the sixth session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. In February 2005, the desire to preserve and appreciate the city’s great heritage led to the establishment of the specific UNESCO Office of the Municipality of Florence. The Office was created in order to respond to the primary needs of creating a document, the Management Plan, to protect and enhance the UNESCO World Heritage site “Historic Centre of Florence” and to fulfil the provisions of the UNESCO Convention 1972 concerning the protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Specifically, the tasks of the Office, with DIDA, include many realization, and coordination of studies and research about the history and the conservation of the city, the territory, and it’s monumental heritage.

The loss of historical identity in the urban city centres, in particular UNESCO world heritage sites, due to the continued disappearance of commercial activities connected with its social and cultural structure, constitutes a priority for action at national and international level. The evolving of urban fabric it is strictly dependent on the musealisation of art heritage cities and the integration of new requirements amended by the Era of Mass Tourism. The project takes the Historic Centre of Florence as case study, still including a variety of activities deeply connected with its tradition. The project, promoted by the Municipality, concerns the development of a census system that took in consideration, not only the architectural aspects of the activities, but also those connected with the urban and social background. The aim of the census is to define parameters able to develop a reference indexes system, useful to plan renovation, management and promotion plans, through the creation of virtual platforms, promoted by the Municipality, that guaranty accessibility and promotion.

Research strategy The UNESCO World Heritage Centre/ICOMOS Advisory Mission to the world heritage site of the historic Centre of Florence (22-25 May 2017) delineates priorities for preservation and management. The research set itself a goal to: • Develop and maintain a register of buildings (regardless of ownership) with HECO Project that contributes to the OUV of the city. The register includes also heritage buildings that are ‘at risk’ of under-use or decay (R4); • Identify more clearly how the Outstanding Universal Value is expressed through the physical and social fabric, defining the attributes of the site which carry its Outstanding Universal Value (R5). Develop guidelines to evaluate the importance of building heritage; • Edit HIA based on the Guidance on Heritage Impact Assessments for Cultural World Heritage Properties (ICOMOS, 2011) as a process in managing the city. For infrastructure projects, it should begin when concepts are first suggested, with a correspondingly strategic assessment of their potential impacts (both direct and consequential) on cultural heritage, particularly OUV. HIA should then be developed and applied through options appraisal and all subsequent stages of project development (R6); • Arrange an evaluation model that works through macro-contents and set an inter-disciplinary workshop of professional figures; test the model on real transformation projects. ACTIVITIES Research Grant related to the development of a Heritage Impact Assessment for the Historic Centre of Florence, UNESCO World Heritage site, following the ICOMOS guidelines. The grant was issued by the University of Florence - DIDA and the Municipality of Florence – UNESCO Office. A.Y. 2015-2016, 2016-2017.

The scientific study carried out by the research group of the University of Florence and the various stages of sharing and comparison between the concerned authorities of the municipalities of Florence, Bagno a Ripoli, Fiesole, Sesto Fiorentino, in the proceedings, led to the proposal and final approval of the buffer zone for the “Historic Centre of Florence” UNESCO site. The buffer zone is that additional level of protection around the property, inscribed in the List, functional to the preservation of its Outstanding Universal Value; we might define the buffer zones as an area around the core zone designed to safeguard and to ensure the integrity of the site, its scenic frame and the main views from and towards the property to be safeguarded. The buffer zone for the Historic Centre of Florence was approved by the World Heritage Committee the 6th July 2015, on the 39th session (Bonn, 2015) with Decision 39 COM 8B.44. The research activities led to refining a critical survey methodology, providing adequate knowledge and project management tools for managing the buffer zone of the UNESCO site. In addition data on the main panoramic viewpoints was collected, supplying a model for cataloguing landscape assets of historical, cultural or aesthetic importance.

Memory and the future are attributes on which we have to work in order to guarantee Florence to preserve, enhance and promote its immeasurable value. Florence is a World Heritage site, represent culture and knowledge and this specific research project aims to develop specific technologies and processes for the realization of a new system of data management and information of the historical centre of Florence, a “narrative path”, which will also be proposed as an example at the national level of integration with historical/scientific/content. That will help ensure that the city maintains its exceptional universal value. The Department of Architecture of the University of Florence together with the UNESCO office of the city of Florence through the Joint Heritage City Lab collaborate constantly to develop targeted research, specifically the critical analysis and enhancement of the urban image of Florence’s historic centre in a coordinated manner with the UNESCO site management plan. The aim of the project is the creation of a single multifunctional data container of various types of uses and the implementation of the digital archive of the georeferential data of the images, the critical surveys, the thematic cartography, the result of research carried out in collaboration with the various institutions.

The objectives of the studies carried out by the research group of the University of Florence as part of the project “Heritage Colours” (HECO), have included the conservation and enhancement of the integrity regarding the landscape and architectural heritage of the UNESCO World Heritage site – The Historic Centre of Florence. This publication shows the scientific study which was carried out to develop innovative methodologies for the analysis and evaluation of urban, historic buildings and green spaces. The results related to the management of the UNESCO World Heritage site were obtained, following the indications expressed in the Guidance on Heritage Impact Assessments which were provided by ICOMOS, through tests and field implementations. These are illustrated within this publication in summarised and detailed frameworks. The HECO Project is based on the critical study of the urban landscape and the existing historical construction through a systematic and detailed reading of the colour of the façades, particularly with regard to the introspection on the surfaces of the buildings of architectural interest (ex Legislative Decree 42 / 2004). It is also based on the urban serial aggregates, and the data revealed information related to: evolutionary and typological historical characters, material and constructive characterisation, geometry and size, state of conservation, visual impairment and morphological vulnerability for seismic purposes. In the measure of the research used in the project, the colour of the façades, catalogued according to chromatic and mineral matrices, acts as a litmus paper for alteration, degradation and incongruous phenomena that distinguish the main threats affecting the transformation dynamics registered at the city level. Data records have been entered and managed through an online data management system linked to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications. All the collected data was processed through a series of algorithms to allow information synthesis which was useful to monitor and update databases.

Graphic project of the editorial identity of the Department of Architecture, University of Florence

The most important task of a University is to spread its research, studies, and daily developments to as many people as possible. It is vital to share what researchers are doing and what they are working on to the wide public. Indeed, “Communicating the Research” seems to be one of the main institutional objectives. Thus, the Department of Architecture (DIDA) decided to create a publishing company which has two lines. The first one is institutional, it deals with the production of brochures and booklet that inform students about the formative offers of the Department. The character of the second line is strictly related to present and promote the work of the professors and students of the Department of Architecture (DIDA) by means of books and journals. Actually, there are three chains of books: the “White” one is devoted to the most valuable results from the courses or the thesis of the students; the “Coloured” one deals with the research of the professors from DIDA; the last chain of books, “Essays”, tackles more theoretical topics.

Honorary Mention – ‘Professionals’ Category Susanna Cerri DIDA EDITORIAL IDENTITY For being able to coordinate, within one single system, the editorial identity of the Department of Architecture at the University of Florence. The project, implemented with the collaboration of junior graphic designers, becomes a major reference point in the world of editorial design for public institutions, thanks to its ability to design different levels and, most importantly, different registers of communication within a single system.

Wayfinding System

Università degli Studi di Firenze

“Unifi wayfinding system” is a research project aimed at defining an innovative wayfinding system, original and unique, for the buildings of the University of Florence. The input of the research project was the need for a new signage system to be coordinated with the University of Florence identity in all its parts: from the logo to the typefaces and the colours. The signage system is specifically designed to be usable in every situation, from the cityscale banners to the single door signs. One of the main goals of the project is to create a visually unified urban campus by eliminating the graphic clutter created by the wide variety of the pre-existing signs. The primary design idea is to generate all the objects from a single and pure geometric shape: the square. From this starting point, a whole catalogue of user-focused devices has been constructed: not just squared panels and signs, but also modular rectangular banners and plates, square based self-standing totems and hanging or edge-anchored cube-shaped signs. All the details have been accurately devised, from production to installation and use, for each of the aforementioned elements. A carefully crafted and highly flexible graphic system provides the guidelines for placing the information in order to guarantee a perfect readability and a completely coordinated visual result.

Botanical garden, Natural History Museum

Giardino dei Semplici is one of the 5 sites of the Museum of Natural History of Florence. Founded in 1545, it is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. It attracts both scholars as well as families with children; indeed, it constitutes a precious green area in the centre of the city. The research project defined the museum’s itinerary with the aim to accompany the visitor without being invasive, without covering the view of the garden, and thus avoids any excessive structures and any redundancy of information: simple and light elements that signal the various areas within the garden, providing for the visitor subtle support and guidance. These light structures support the signage which provides the captions useful to move within the garden, they also indicate the areas to explore according to themes and colours.

Lavagnini,58 Firenze Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Gabriele Goretti Roberta Baccolini, Margherita Tufarelli

DIT lab, Italian Design for the train, is a transdisciplinary design research area where researchers and students experiment and combine design culture with new materials and new technologies. The Laboratory aims at promoting the communication in between design culture and other departments and research centres of UNIFI or other Universities. DIT is a design-driven research laboratory where ‘HARD’ scientific research subjects (as engineering, chemistry and physics) are contaminated by ‘SOFT’ Research topics (as anthropology and sociological studies, ergonomics, and formal references from Italian culture). Through this approach, the laboratory supports on cross-fertilization between design studies and digital technologies, in particular about the management and development of integrated transportation systems and service as sales processes, distribution and communication. The laboratory aims at training of human resources devoted to the study of products and components for the train architecture system. In particular the laboratory is dedicated to coach furnishing, interacting devices for the train and integrated transport systems.

The Intermodal Bike

Multi-modal Integration of cycling mobility through product and process innovations in bicycle design | Project - Wp Ergonomics

Director Alessandro Belli Scientific Coordinator Francesca Tosi Research Group Alessandra Rinaldi Coordinator Alessia Brischetto Collaborator Collaborators Grazia Tucci Valentina Bonora Vincenzo Cupelli Marco Petranelli

The research project, funded by the European Union within the 7 th Framework Programme, was aimed to design a folding bike, super-compact and super-light with electrically assisted pedalling, that is an efficient means of transport for the urban mobility. The work starts from the idea that the synergy between the bicycle and public transport systems and / or private means of transport can increase the modal share of bicycle and also can have an effect to discourage the use of private cars in city centres. The WP Ergonomics provided acceptable range of possible posture configurations, to ensure maximum pedalling efficiency, to protect the spinal column, neck and arms from the effects of stressing, and to ensure the effectiveness and control of the vehicle.

Ecology and Ergonomics in the Kitchen Technological and usage innovation of the kitchen environment

Scientific Director Francesca Tosi Development and Coordination Alessandra Rinaldi Research Group Simone Lucii Irene Bruni Partnership UNIFI | Dipartimento di Tecnologie dell’Architettura e Design Italy EFFETI INDUSTRIES Italy

The specific objective was to define new domestic environment scenarios, which put at the centre of the production not only aesthetic aspects and functional and economic development, but also the respect for man and the environment. The analysis of the users’ needs and expectations, based on the human-centred design approach allowed the individuation of typological and technological innovation in the kitchen systems, in its components and the individuation of new services. The identified guidelines in the research project was evaluated and tested with the workshop “Well-living in kitchen: technological and usage innovation in kitchen environment.” The workshop took place within the Effeti company where young creatives produced concepts focused on four categories identified as highly innovative for the kitchen system: the smart table, the wall system and the furniture, the wearable accessory, the smart floor.

(AID) Auxiliary Interface Design Role of Evolutionary Computational Design in Energy saving and Architecture gains exploratory research

Today contemporary buildings are exploring new levels of performance and adaptability opening up a brand-new world for architects. Cutting edge invasive technologies reveal previously unseen sets of problems for designers who, together with the complexity of architectural design deriving from the observance of rules and particular requirements in the design process, force them to face different aspects in each stage. Within the discipline of Digital Computing, Evolutionary Design intends to create and develop different design solutions through evolutionary processes employing the so-called ‘flexing’ procedure, that is the ability to generate alternatives, test and run benchmarks parametrically, in a short time, for billions of progressive and consistent options. It is an available skill that, thanks to the growing computational power of computers, now exceeds those of the human brain, offering a powerful tool to improve decision-making processes on an increasingly complex built environment. For this reason there is a strong expansion of Evolutionary Design in different application areas of the design that is facilitated by the diffusion of simulation programs for the optimization of countless aspects such as energy consumption, human well-being, functionality, etc. In this scenario, and in the face of an increase in efficiency and competitiveness in the design market, it is easy to foresee a different scenario in which we will have to be ready for a new modus operandi where Evolutionary Design is not to be seen as a simple tool, but as a collaboration environment that, through intelligent interfaces, is able to provide highly effective and timely assistance.

The REI lab studies how the use of technological processes (applied to manufacturing) can be transferred with success to the field of Artistic and Historical Heritage, in particular to statuary works of art and small objects. The technology, in the form of the digitization of heritage, allows to combine history, culture and tradition, making available to a wide audience those materials that otherwise, also for conservation reasons, could not be accessible and known. Documentation and archiving of the status of an artwork are essential if there is a need for reconstruction or conservation works. The possibility of detecting very complex geometries with considerable accuracy allows the in-depth study of construction techniques, allowing the perception and analysis of geometric details that are difficult to detect with traditional techniques. Furthermore, a three-dimensional representation allows us to design the fruition of art goods in a synchronic and diachronic way, making this type of documentation exceptional also in the educational field.

The training pathway is characterized by an alternation between theory and practice in an interdisciplinary perspective. The centrality of the project is expressed in the Atelier that take place at the end of each semester, in collaboration with local artisans and businesses. This close relationship with the business world makes it possible to put into practice the notions and methodologies learned as well as to create the conditions for having real spin-offs in terms of innovation and competitiveness of the territories.

The project aims at the development of an innovative neurologist support system to diagnose Parkinson’s disease objectively, non-invasive and economically favourable compared to clinical procedures currently under vigour. To this end, a new wearable instrumentation has been devised, based on inertial sensors, able to return an objective measure of the motor performance of patients with Parkinson’s disease or of individuals who show other risk factors. The wearability and portability, low cost and ease of use of the system designed allow you to predict the use of instrumentation not only in health care facilities, but also at home, thanks to a control system remotely through a telemedicine service.

Fiscal sources are one of the most interesting tools available to researchers who deal with the urban history. The first geometric cadastres, in particular, provide the possibility of linking information to their precise geographical location, at a time when the cities still maintain the old urban structures, before the contemporary transformations. In order to obtain an analytical framework of the urban structures of the centre of Florence in the nineteenth century, the research focuses on the study of the Catasto Generale Toscano (1817-1835). By comparing this source with the subsequent cadastral changes and the previous documentation, the research aims to reconstruct urban transformations during the space of the last five centuries. The project also aims to create a sort of georeferenced digital container for documents concerning the urban history of Florence, which can be updated continuously. To achieve these objectives, tools were made available by computer sciences and territorial studies. The transformation of the cadastral maps into vectorial drawings, the transfer of data into relational databases, the geo-referencing of historical informations and the use of a geographical information system (GIS) have enhanced the analysis and facilitated the possibility of obtaining synthesis. The analysis is also configurable according to needs, creating a tool useful not only for scholars, but also for professionals (to realize works within the historic centre), for administrations (to plan actions on the urban territory), for the public of citizens and tourists (for the knowledge of the urban history of the city).

The New Regional Scale Topographic Map of Tuscany

Scientific Coordinator Fabio Lucchesi Research Group Bruno Giusti Fabio Nardini Chiara Nostrato Giulia Bartoli Annunziata Centonze Giulio Donati Sarti Leonardo Piu Daniel Ladinel Timpu Partnership UNIFI | DIDA RT SITA | Regione Toscana Sistema Informativo Territoriale ed Ambientale

Purpose The New Regional Scale Topographic Map of Tuscany is a product born from the collaboration between Regione Toscana, and the Cartography Lab of DIDA. The map is designed to be published both in traditional edition and through the web map services of Regione Toscana, in compliance with the guidelines of INSPIRE directive (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe), the project of the European Commission which aims to establish spatial data infrastructures in the European Community. Geographical databases The project involved the creation of a series of geographic databases obtained through the generalization of the territorial information available in the regional archives, integrated through public domain materials, both institutional (European Environment Agency) and produced through collaborative sharing (OpenStreetMap) and original elaborations of the DIDA Cartography laboratory. The Map is conceived as a multi-scale product and can be consulted on the various scales characteristic of the medium-scale cartographic representation (from 1/25000 to 1/250000). Symbolizations have been designed, optimized for the different forms of use, specific for each display scale. The finalized edition for traditional publication is designed and built to maximize the understanding of the relationships between geography and settlement characteristics of the regional territory.

Critical Planning & Design roots | theories | practices

The Lab of Critical Planning & Design comprises a group of researchers from the Department of Architecture at the University of Florence, in collaboration with a network of international scholars. The laboratory aims to develop a critical view on urban and regional planning, in particular along the following research paths. Roots: critical exploration of the roots of planning; genealogy of the ‘restless’ and radical concepts of planning; emphasis on dissenting imaginations, and eccentric and alternative planning traditions. Theories: critical discussion on planning theories; difference-sensitive planning approach; multi-agent planning and interactive design; the concept of co-evolution applied to the relations between nature, territory and settlements; planning approaches based on self-organization and insurgent urbanism. Practices: interactive design experiences; radical participatory planning practices; involvement of the inhabitants in the rebuilding of shared urban and regional codes. Researches cover the following areas of work: critical planning and design, urban policy, new regional planning paradigms, DiverCity and interactive design, comparative urbanism and planning, research methodology, heritage and sustainable design for cities and regions. The laboratory is geared towards planners, policy makers, community activists, institutions, no profit foundations and third sector, metropolitan governments, individual citizens and disadvantaged communities.

Research framework Post-Metropolitan Territories: Looking for a New Urbanity is a research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It constitutes a thorough overview of a country that is one of Europe’s most diverse in terms of regional development and performance: Italy. This research brings together case studies of a number of Italian cities and their hinterlands and looks at new forms of urbanization, exploring themes of sustainability, industrialization, de-industrialization, governance, city planning and quality of life. Research focus Processes of multi-scalar regional urbanization are occurring worldwide. Such processes are clearly distinguishable from those of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries due to the shifting concepts of both the city and the metropolis. International literature highlights how what we have historically associated with the idea of cities has long been subjected to consistent reconfiguration, which involves stressing some of the typical features of the idea of “cityness”.

A strategic urban agenda to cross the territorial borders Strategic Scenario of San Giovanni Valdarno Research Program funded by the Municipality of San Giovanni Valdarno (Italy-Tuscany) Coordinator: Prof. Camilla Perrone Collaborators: Flavia Giallorenze, Antonell Granatiero, Maddalena Rossi

SGV: Density of cooperation.

The main aim of the research group was to push an active, shared and aware reflection on the San Giovanni Valdarno territory and its historical centre because now, many courses have made, and they’re still making huge changes on the city and on its economic, social and cultural structures. Trying to embrace the complexity of the present conditions, the research group has organized a structured programme in three work phases: an organizational first step, a second moment of public events in which they’ve reached out peoples voices and opinions, and three final appointments to work with citizens on project laboratories. This work has led to build a Urban Agenda that assumes the time horizon of 2050 for the strategies for the city of San Giovanni Valdarno. A key method to implement this Agenda is to coordinate policies that are actually sector-specific and to connect different actors, both public and private, that invest on the territory. At the end of this long working process (almost two years of field research), a final day-long event, “Cantiere Civico”, delivered many “building sites” around the centre and the periphery of San Giovanni. Local people have then gone on using some facilities made during the “auto-construction site” that livened up the main square during the event.

Urbanity beyond institutional borders From strategic planning to statutory planning in the greater metropolitan area of Florence Research Program funded by the Municipality of San Giovanni Valdarno (Italy-Tuscany) Coordinator: Prof. Camilla Perrone Collaborator: Maddalena Rossi

CM: Density of cooperation.

The research explores the relations among strategic planning, spatial planning and projects/policies on specific topics selected by The Metropolitan City of Florence (CMF) to draw up its metropolitan Agenda. This is made up of measures, tools, policies and actors.

research map | dida research system


The interactions between these components require a strategic approach aimed to identify goals and ways to achieve them (effective strategic actions) and geared to finding connections (synergies, complementarity, matching) among different fields, skills and expertises of the metropolitan governance. The studio examines relations of complementary, discrepancy and correlation between current different tools, outlining a new “act� of policies of metropolitan governance (the CMF is working on). It suggests to write a protocol of inter-institutions cooperation to implement the Strategic Plan and, in broader terms, to develop coordinate local Urban Agendas. The aim of the research is to highlight critical issues, chances and work directions of the metropolitan agenda of Florence, and overall, of other Italian metropolitan institutions.

This research has addressed the ways the area of Santa Barbara’s mine can be transformed and enhanced in connection with its territory and history. The characteristics of the site have given us the possibility to deal with different issues and themes a mining area, memory, strategies and design for large scale landscapes, connectivity with the agrarian territory and with historic villages, possible ways to deal with the existing landscape and waterfront design. These issues have been treated both at a large scale, paying attention to the strategic dimension, and at the local scale, by dealing with the spatial dimension. Specific attention has been devoted to development.

The Landscape Design Lab integrates research activities and training in landscape architecture. The design is the main point of view adopted in applied studies and initiatives for dissemination. The preservation and transformation of landscapes are investigated as needs and complementary opportunities in the context of the pursuit of sustainability. The thematic areas intercepted by the studies include the protection and the enhancement of natural and protected landscapes, the care of everyday urban open places, agricultural and rural landscapes, the regeneration of derelict and/or degraded sites, the integration of structures and infrastructures. In the tradition of the discipline, the garden and the urban park are two focal research categories. The studies by design are developed in collaboration with public and private partners and include the coordinated activation of additional Ph.D. trainings, research fellows and master’s degree stages. The initiatives of dissemination and training that support the research are promoted with international partnerships.

The Laboratory of Ecological Design of Settlements (LaPEI), established in the ’90s by Alberto Magnaghi, represents a specialised structure aimed at researching, training and transferring knowledge in the specific area of regional and urban planning and design. Research relationships LaPEI is connected with three Research Units of the University of Florence: Progetto Bioregione Urbana (ProBiUr, Project Urban Bioregion), Projects on Environment, Cities and Territories in the South (ProjECTS) and TreeNexus. Mission LaPEI operates in the field of territorial analysis and planning through a participatory research/action methodology, exploiting the national and international research networks that each of the research units afferent to LaPEI has built over time. LaPEI is active in the construction of public policies at the urban and regional level in cooperation with public bodies, international governmental and non-governmental organisations, self-organised groups, local communities and social stakeholders. Education & training LaPEI offers students, Ph.D. students, interns and trainees the opportunity to follow these processes accompanied by teachers, researchers and tutors in order to foster the understanding of the different process aspects of the urban and regional project built in a participatory and interactive view.

Research The research aims to reinterpret the heterogeneous and complex territory of the Metropolitan City of Florence (from the mountains, to the plains, to the hills) through a bioregional methodological approach that is able to highlight and tackle the environmental and territorial criticalities present in the current multi-sectorial actions the peripheral centre model in which it is articulated: strong polarization and congestion on the central Florentine area, high consumption of land, banalisation of periurban contexts, marginalization of internal areas, high ecosystem criticalities. Goals and strategies • Overcoming the functional and polarized vision of the Metropolitan City of Florence towards a polycentric bioregional system based on the enhancement of local specificities; • Rebalancing of ecosystem and territorial exchanges between mountains, hills and plains; • Definition of a complex and participatory model for the public management of ecosystem services; • Environmental, territorial and landscape redevelopment of the metropolitan suburbs of the Florentine plain and reactivation of complementary relations between the city and the countryside; • Rural repopulation of mountain areas and inland areas to ease the pressure on the highly urbanized plains and ensure the protection of the territory; • Valorisation of territorial energy sources for the energy transition in the Metropolitan City of Florence; • Valorisation of short supply chains and food communities to rebalance the food budget of the Metropolitan City of Florence; • Strengthening the continuity of the ecological network in the Metropolitan City of Florence; • Integrated and participated river and river redevelopment.

The research goals The research project, called “A Geographical Information System on local heritage of Apuan Alps for the development of the agriculture-craft- tourism-culture chain”, is part of the establishing path of the Apuan Alps Ecomusesum, providing a technical-scientific contribution for the elaboration of an integrated project of local development alternative to the current economic model, focused on the monoculture of marble. Methods and strategies The research analyses at different scales the foundational characters of the Apuan bioregion (in terms of hydro-geo-morphological, environmental, ecological, settlement and agro-forestry settings, energy resources, socio-economic and cultural models) to identify and represent the assets to be redeveloped and reinserted in local and supra-local circuits of value production. In particular, the study focuses on the currently inactive assets (uncultivated lands, rural buildings, paths, woods, pastures, abandoned quarries…) to make it the cornerstone of a new development strategy for Apuan territories, classified as “inland areas” and afflicted by problems of depopulation and abandonment (with all the critical issues that implies, both in environmental/landscape and in social/ economic terms). The research products The cartographic and documentary material related to the patrimonial resources identified along the research (also through the activation of paths for the involvement of local communities) will form the base for the construction of a Geographical Information System of Apuan Alps, apt to support the activities of the Ecomuseum and of the local governments involved in the project.

The French-Italian research network, including urban planners, architects and political scientists, carried out the Bioregion research with the primary objective of experimenting in Aquitaine (France), and in particular in the framework of the Regional Natural Parks already existing (PNR Landes-de-Gascogne) or being established in the Pays Medoc, the resources offered by the Italian territorialist school approach in the field of environmental planning and self-sustainable development of regional territories. An urban bioregion is defined as “a set of local territorial systems strongly transformed by man, marked by a plurality of urban and rural centres organised in reticular and non-hierarchical systems. These systems are linked by environmental relationships tending towards the closure of water, waste, food and energy cycles” (Magnaghi, 2010). The bioregional approach seemed pertinent in the framework of an experimental path undertaken by the French PNRs in terms of sustainable land planning, which takes into account the richness and fragility of natural resources. The PNR framework has proved to be an effective operational structure for connecting territorialist analysis and projects to the Schéma Régional de Cohérence Ecologique. Thanks also to the work of co-tutored trainees and Ph.D. students in research institutes such as CNRS or in local governments (PNR Landes Guascogne, Pays Médoc, Conseil Géneral, SYSDAU), important stages of patrimonial analysis and research-action have been developed, frequently intercepting local actors. The research products Patrimonial atlases of the Gironde territories in contexts like Landes-Guascogne, Médoc and the Bordeaux metropolitan area; new narratives on the long-term patrimonial management of territories (forest, swamp, internal and external waters, settlement systems); a recovery and integration of memories and knowledge in the territorial project; a survey on complex critical issues related to local heritage; strategic projects linked to the polycentric reorganisation of the inland and metropolitan areas, to the food system, to the energetic closure of resources, to the socio-economic valorisation of patrimonial assets; the definition of a complex system of urban centralities; projects for the redevelopment and reconstruction of urban margins integrated into the multifunctional ecological network; a project for the agricultural parks in the Bordeaux urban belt; a promotion of the bioregional vision among local authorities; the inclusion of the “bioregional metropolis” action within the territorial government instruments (SCoT) of the Bordeaux agglomeration.

Background/Context and location The project area coincides with the periurban area among Florence, Scandicci and Lastra a Signa. More specifically, the site covered by the project is the rural/agricultural area, belonging to the three municipalities, included among the rivers Arno, Greve and Vingone. The whole area is strongly urbanised (the overall urbanised surface passed from 23% in 1954 to 60,55% in 2010). Nevertheless, such territories preserve a rural character, hosting proximity agriculture and horticulture. The project is strongly integrated to the forthcoming “Arno” River Contract. Goals and strategies The project aimed at proposing a new cooperative tool for territorial government, a participatory and shared agricultural park, in order to identify regeneration rules for redeveloping, securing, transforming and managing territories apt to overcome the ‘protected areas’ vision, considering them as mere constraints, and to foster actions and projects pointed at creating new integrated economies favouring local markets, living quality and the beauty of places. In the course of work, the project has refined its primary goals, giving them an operational nature through a research-project-action methodology, which has interacted with local actors spreading awareness and knowledge and, most of all, has helped building positive proposals and shared projects, designed to be carried out through twelve (local or vast area) “social contracts” involving active citizenship, institutions and associations. Key actors involved and their role The project has involved many actors – public institutions (municipalities, Basin Authority, Reclamation Consortium, penitentiaries, schools, hospital and so on), associations of

The Laboratory “Plans and Projects for the City and the Territory” is a part of DIDALABS, it is a structure aimed at researching, training and transferring knowledge to the territory. Activated within the protocol of understanding between Territorial Organizations with expertise in the field of planning and the DIDA Department, to organize, coordinate and enhance the territorial governance activities developed in the settlements and territories under their jurisdiction; moreover it operates within the coordination of DIDALABS System Workshops, integrating their competences with those referring to the projects and the action lines activated and to the own fields of the PPCT. The Laboratory PPCT promotes and coordinates training activities such as seminars, workshops, project applications, and also operates as a coordination structure between the Territorial Bodies, the DIDA Department and the University of Florence for the participation in Horizon 2020 calls, national and regional calls and scientific management of funded projects. The activities of the laboratory can involve the fields of knowledge and monitoring of urban and territorial phenomena, planning, evaluation, territorial governance, urban planning within the city and territory. Some Laboratories 1_Urban Innovation Project - Empoli Scientific Coordinator: Francesco Alberti The project intends to establish an organic and integrated program among the objectives set by the POR, in this perspective the following objectives are set: reduction of social hardship in the field of social health services and recovery of buildings and areas for social functions; integrated system of services through the recovery of public assets; functional and intelligent connection of public spaces; experimentation in the field of innovative technological systems; involvement of the various social components and management of equipment and services. 2_Urban Regeneration “Senzuno” - Follonica Scientific Coordinator: David Fanfani Redevelopment project of the urban fabric of Senzuno, through the enhancement of local resources and the contextual context of the territory compared to the wider context of the city of Follonica, both at the infrastructural level but also in the context of complex relationships between the Senzuno district and the fabrics adjacent urban areas. 3_Building scheduling - Livorno Scientific Coordinator: Claudio Saragosa The research project aims to rediscover and valorise areas of the city of great value, but a little known, through a paper and computer filing creating an App for smartphones and tablets and an “urban code”, the urban genetic code, that is the quantities and the proportions that make every human settlement pleasant. The purpose of these tools is to collect accurate information on the city’s buildings that are not deductible from cartography. 4_Census of the Brownfields on the territory of the Metropolitan City of Florence Scientific Coordinator: Claudio Saragosa Census and distribution of urban or urbanized disused areas with pollution problems that require reclamation, redevelopment and re-functionalisation, with a view to functional rebalancing of the territory. research map | dida research system

Follonica Periurban Forests

Scientific Coordinator Claudio Saragosa Address Polo San Giuseppe via Paladini, 13 Empoli Scientific Board Iacopo Bernetti Francesco Ferrini Claudio Saragosa Research Fellow Marina Visciano Press Office Francesca Oddo

The research is focused on theme of periurban forests’ planning and management in Follonica: forest of Montioni and east coastal pine forest. First complex is a ‘bridge’ between sea and hinterland. In forest there are a lot of archaeological testimonies of Montioni’s mining history, and it has a high nature value. Second complex is a coastal pine forest near Follonica and it can be divided in three parts: the ‘head’, linked to the city, it’s used as ‘urban park’; second part, is characterized by strong presence of touristic spaces and structures, with consequent anthropic pressures. Finally, third part is characterized by typical environmental role of the coastal pine forest. The research use method of multi-criteria analysis applied to forest types and agro-eco-mosaics of area to define ecosistemic services that characterizes the complexes. Final objective is to propose a strategic scenery to valorise forests’ principal vocations.

Brownfields Survey

of the Metropolitan City of Florence

Scientific Coordinator Claudio Saragosa Address Polo San Giuseppe, via Paladini, 40 Empoli Scientific Board Claudio Saragosa Iacopo Bernetti Research Fellow Giacomo Rossi Press Office Francesca Oddo Editor Giacomo Rossi

The topic of the research carried out within the DIDA Plans and Projects for the City and the Territory, commissioned by the Metropolitan City of Florence, is part of the territorial transformations that have taken place significantly from the 50s to today. After the long processes of structuring of the territory and the phases of development and transformation of the various productive activities disseminated in urban and suburban areas, we are today in the presence of large areas that are variously abandoned with sometimes very complex recovery problems. The so-called brownfields, production areas abandoned or in a state of degradation or under-utilization, with known or perceived environmental pollution, relevant for the urban and territorial regeneration processes. At a time when, at least in Tuscany, work is being done to reduce rural land consumption, so as to limit urbanization according to the provisions of LRT 65/2014, brownfields become strategic for any urban regeneration path and metropolitan. In these areas, once they have been redeveloped, they can be provided in fact those functions that would otherwise have to be located in the external perimeter of the urbanized areas, creating new and deplorable processes of land consumption. At the same time, they offer the possibility of experimenting participatory processes on a subject that is strongly felt by the community.

A research team of the Dipartimento di Architettura of Florence, in collaboration with the municipality of Empoli, has planned a set of urban interventions for the historic centre of Empoli inspired by the idea of an inclusive city, catalyst of urban, economic and environmental regeneration. The project is part of the Urban Innovation Projects of Regione Toscana, supported by the EU’s Structural Funds POR-FESR 2014-2020 for regeneration, and it was selected - through a competitive call - to be financed with 6.1 million Euros, in addition to the 2.9 million Euros co-financed by the municipality.

Data Processing Group Ran Farhi Simona Fusiello Giovanni Leoncini Simone Rossi Carlotta Sergiacomi Francesca Tommasoni Collaborators Antonio Faija Andrea Morbidoni

The intervention is located in a fringe area of the historic centre, near the train station and outside the pedestrian area where the main public spaces and facilities are positioned. The site has not been re-designed yet, and it is poorly permeable due to the fragmented internal pathways. The abandoned building compounds, owned and disposed by the Public Administration to face budgetary problems, allowed the development of projects which increase services that promote inter-generational exchange, social solidarity and the meeting of different communities of the area, in a regenerated and revitalised urban context, safe, accessible and with new functions. The project is a model for the valorisation of public properties, whose greatest strength lies in search for the best match between social needs and available space.

VR perceptual evaluation

Scientific Director Iacopo Bernetti Address Polo San Giuseppe via L. Paladini 40 Empoli (FI) Scientific Coordinator Claudio Saragosa Research Group Elena Barbierato Irene Capecchi Maria Cipollaro Sandro Sacchelli

The perceptual laboratory is aimed at researching urban and landscape quality, basing on the awareness of the loss of value of some spaces. These particular spaces do not favour the sense of recognizing oneself and the sense of belonging to the place where people live. The cause of the alienation of man with the surrounding environment derives from the inability to reproduce spaces according to coherent structural models that determine a perception of the place faithful to the forma mentis of a given cultural reality. Thus it is necessary to regenerate these places through the identification of those spatial patterns capable of generating emotion and empathy, since each individual acts and behaves according to how the space is composed. For this reason public perception, subjective expression of value judgments, has acquired a strategic importance in the political decisions of the territorial government, considering, therefore, the evaluation operation a fundamental tool in planning and regional planning, which anticipates and supports the real decision-making moment. Therefore some researchers over time have tried to solve this complex issue through two different approaches: objectivist and subjectivist paradigm. The first method, conducted mainly by experts, maintains that quality is inherent in its own components, or the formal rules that make up high quality spaces. The second one is based on the judgment and on the evaluation of the interviewed people taken into consideration and it allows to evaluate the landscape from a visual-perceptive point of view. Consequently the methodological proposal that the laboratory offers to try to integrate the different approaches in a single evaluation framework, which uses advanced tool. In particular big data, social media, virtual reality, eye tracking, saliency map and three-dimensional simulation. The ultimate purpose of the research activity is to develop guidelines and tools to support public and private decisions, correlating the results of the above mentioned assessments with the actions and regulations of regional planning.

Manifesto 10 points for an adaptive planning

1 CHOOSE THE SOCIAL REFERENCE MODEL Urbanism is an action that refers to practical reason. This is why it is a technological investment to transpose a desired social, economic and environmental structure towards the near future. Before starting any regulatory device, it is necessary to ask ourselves what kind of social model we want to implement. The European Union is the social and economic model of reference and the principles are the European ones acknowledged by the member states: subsidiarity, adequacy and cohesion, on the basis of which it is necessary to find the appropriate scale with respect to urban and territorial functions and policies.

2 OVERCOMETHE PRINCIPLE OF UNIFORMITY Urbanism is the reorganization of the territorial structures. It is an action that outlines organizational modalities among the territories, for this it requires the overcoming of the principle of uniformity of all territorial entities, with respect to urban practices and its spatial “ingredients”. To bring the territory of the various institutions closer to the real economy, new narratives and new inter-institutional cooperative governance are needed.

3 OVERLAY INSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES Urbanism is the right spatial dimension for action. The municipal administrative boundaries are no longer able to include the economic and productive factors that underlie the communities. Institutional cooperation to define the right spatial dimension is a necessity for innovative, inclusive and active territorial and urban policies.

4 REDUCE REGIONAL ECLECTISM Urbanism is the interconnection of institutional arrangements. Regional legislative systems have produced a sort of “eclectic” regionalist federalism with the introduction of very diversified tools, procedures and contents, which does not seem to correspond to an interregional and inter-institutional debate on the effective definition of the field of action of the so-called “government of territory” and its concrete anchoring to the practices of action.

5 OVERCOME INEFFECTIVE SECTORIALISM Urbanism is overcoming the separate planning sectors. Urbanism, meant as government of the territory, is a cooperative action, which presupposes the recomposition and

232

research map | dida research system


integration of what concerns the defence of the territory, the protection and enhancement of the environment (landscape, basin, reclamation plans, parks, etc.) and of what has operational content (infrastructure, transport, health, facilities, landfills, quarries, etc.).

1 6 SPATIAL PLANNING IS PROJECT 8

Interpreting, selecting and planning is the planner’s operational supply chain. There is no urbanism without social and economic interpretation. There is no urbanism without selection of backgrounds, facts, and contents. There is no urbanism without an efficient, sustainable and fair narrative and vision towards which we should tend.

7 INCREASE THE PUBLIC CITY

5

2

Urbanism is the construction of the public city and of the common space. The project of the public city requires territorial endowments and performances which are different from the traditional urban planning standard. The territorial endowments constitute that set of equipment, works and spaces which make a site “urban” and determine its quality. For this reason, they must also include intangible infrastructures, without which contemporary society would be limited.

2

Urbanism is a management tool for public governance. To govern the territory, one must have inspiring principles: those of equity and efficiency in action. Forms of cooperation and coordination of the instruments, at the different scales of the project, must determine conditions of greater equity and greater efficiency. These are achieved when the project calls for equalization and urban compensation.

9 USE PLANS FOR TAX REORDER 1 8 104USE NEW ADAPTIVE TOOLS 7

3

Urbanism is a project of territory and city. It is one of the main tools for the formation of urban land rent, but it does not govern taxation, contribution or tariff levy related to the surplus values generated or derived from it, directly or indirectly. The regulatory dimension of the adaptive urban plan must also be used as a fiscal instrument.

5

2

Urbanism is a process of research-action, for this reason it is adaptive to the physical-spatial context and to the existing socio-economic circumstances. The behaviour of the actors is tactical, because it is open to the unexpected and to the control of the repercussions that the action produces in reality. An adaptive plan is built with a vision, which aims to regulate the governance needs of cities and territories in an ecosystemic, sustainable and creative perspective.

Regional Design Lab

Urban Design beyond the local

The Regional Design approach is tested through studies and explorations that address the concrete aspects of spatial and urban planning: the laboratory provides scientific and technical support to research institutions and public bodies in drafting of guidelines and in development of local urban planning tools. The effectiveness of the Regional Design approach is experienced on a multi-level field: from macro to micro scale, from strategy to tactics (and return). The research interest concerns multiple areas in which it is essential to link wide strategic visions with punctual urban interventions, especially proposing disused and abandoned spaces as case studies.

Strategic planning for Metropolitan Cities

Scientific Director Giuseppe De Luca Scientific Coordinator Valeria Lingua Address Palazzo San Clemente via P. A. Micheli, 2 Firenze Research Fellows Luca Di Figlia Carlo Pisano Michela Chiti Chiara Farnè Fratini Raffaella Fucile Devid Orlotti Elisa Caruso

Regional Design is characterized by a communicative and argumentative approach, capable of activating processes of extended interaction, involving social and institutional actors, in order to transpose knowledge into action through cooperative practices. For this reason, the Regional Design approach is appropriate for strategic planning of vast territories, which in the national context has discovered renewed propulsion with the administrative reorganization determined by the law 56/2014 and through the establishment of metropolitan cities. Metropolitan cities, in particular the metropolitan city of Florence, represent the key issue of the laboratory.

Visioning is the fundamental and connotative component of Regional Design that combines the ‘analytical’ and ‘normative’ dimension of planning concepts; moreover, Regional Design assumes a third dimension, the ‘discursive’ one, through which spatial representations assist the analytic process of co-production of knowledge and, at the same time, attribute meaning to the definition of policies, through their spatial transposition. The design effectiveness of the Vision is adopted, in the Regional Design laboratory, in large scale planning: in river contracts and in the strategic planning of Unions of Municipalities.

A new form of localism in Italy: challenges, risks and opportunities for spatial planning across local boundaries

Scientific Director Giuseppe De Luca Scientific Coordinator Valeria Lingua Address Palazzo San Clemente via P. A. Micheli, 2 Firenze Research Fellows Luca Di Figlia Carlo Pisano Michela Chiti Chiara Farnè Fratini Raffaella Fucile Devid Orlotti Elisa Caruso Collaborators Matteo Scamporrino Patricia Guerriro Damiano Iacopetti Alexander Palummo Caterina Fusi Michela Fiaschi Annarita Lapenna Lara Tozzi

The project aims to understand the forms and outcomes of cooperative spatial planning practices at a supra-local level. Assuming co-operation as one of the key challenges for planning strategically across local boundaries, the research will deal with the rescaling of formal planning activities carried out by joint local authorities, under a cooperative attitude that, in a Localism era, is supposed to replace sub-regional planning strategies. The research focuses on the changes occurring in the Italian planning system after the Law 135/2012 that, in the name of the spending review, aims to abolish the provincial level, obligating municipalities with certain population and territorial surface requirements to come together into “Unions of competences”, including planning, and obligating the 10 main regional cities to form joint metropolitan city governments. Notwithstanding the obvious differences in the institutional systems and planning cultures, the research provides a comparative perspective with other West European countries where this obligation is active since several time (i.e. the “agglomerations” system in France, introduced in 1999) or has just been putted in place (i.e. the obligation for municipalities to face strategic issues under a “duty to cooperate” in England, under the Localism Act 2011) or in other countries where the national or regional governments incentive cooperation (i.e. the “Regionale” in Germany or ongoing sub-regional planning practices in The Netherlands and Sweden). Despite the strong differences between countries, Italy could take advantage from looking to these experiences, that have conveyed to questions and answers very close to the demands for change in place. Of course, the need of co-operation on strategic issues is not new. Institutions have an old history of working together and with other bodies to address planning issues of common concern. Nevertheless, the emergence of cooperation as a duty, i.e. as a new obligation for Local Authorities in all fields (including spatial planning), certainly poses some questions concerning the redefinition of planning spaces, the role of the planner, the access to the cooperative arena. If these are typical problems of collaborative planning, the government expectation for plan-making authorities to undertake joint work on supra-local concerns affects issues of governance rescaling and accountability for planning. The research aims to systematize the lessons learned from the solutions given to strategic issues in previous Italian and European sub-regional/ supra-local co-operative practices, in terms of shared strategies, in order to define: • the pertinent extension of cooperation, in relation to the concerned issues and typologies of agreements; • a model for evaluating the effectiveness of cooperation; • a virtual platform for managing supra-local planning. The expected results are concerned with the definition of policy recommendations for join supra-local planning, addressed to Local Planning Authorities and practitioners. The challenge is the redrawing of inter-institutional relations and spaces of planning on cooperative basis, for defining relevant planning strategies across local boundaries. The research should thus provide guidelines (collected in a manual for planning officers and councillors) aimed to approach supra-local planning practices as co-operative platforms between different councils, capable to really imprint local planning strategies.

The primary strategic objective of the PhD program in Architecture, in cultural and economic terms and both at a national and supranational level, is the conservation and sustainable valorisation of the cultural heritage, from landscapes and cities to buildings and artefacts. The purpose is to train highly qualified academics and professionals, capable both of contributing to and transmitting the comprehensive knowledge related to the fields in question, and of collaborating, with a propositive and executive attitude, with the private and public entities involved. All the classical fields related to architecture are present (history of architecture and design, urban planning, landscape architecture, architectural design, architectural restoration, construction technology, physics, science and techniques, industrial design, real estate appraisal), as well as other concomitant subjects (mathematics, social sciences, history, physical sciences). This integration of fields allows doctoral candidates to experiment with various types of research methods using both traditional and innovative technologies. Comparison and contrast with similar international research entities must respond to the transnational nature of the objectives Professional and employment possibilities The first possibility is research, either at a university, at an alternative research centre, or in the industrial sector, in the many fields related to the construction industry and industrial design. The high qualifications offered by the program allow graduates to operate in very interesting and greatly dynamic fields, and in state of the art technological conditions. As for a technical position, the possibilities are manifold and include employment in the various sectors of the public administration, both at the local, regional, state and communitarian levels, as well as in private enterprises.

PhD Thesis

Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul: fragments of generous ideas The case-study of Sedad Hakki Eldem

Author: Serena Acciai I Advisor: Francesco Collotti I XXIV Cycle I 2012 The two PhD Thesis consider the relationship with ancient places as contemporary urban issues. The analysed case studies are aimed at proving the modernity of tradition.

The research analyses the work of Sedad Hakkı Eldem (1908-1988) and is aimed at showing how the ancient is truly a source of “design” in Istanbul, a city where cultural interactions are rooted in every instance of transformation. With the analytical tools of the architect, but also relying on the graphic and textual documentation that characterizes the work of the historian, the author traces the lines of a poetics of environmental domestication. Eldem’s work is investigated in its continuity against the rich, multi-cultural palimpsest of the urban heritage and landscape, and in its complex articulation of an opus where modernity and sense of place, monumentality and human dimension, institutional space and the concrete experience of place enter in synergy. Eldem’s dialogue with the European protagonists of modern design does not challenge his Turkish identity. In Serena Acciai’s reading, his relationship with Le Corbusier, with Perret and Bonatz are as crucial as his commitment to exploring and reworking the characters of the dwelling model which he himself called ‘Turkish’, but which is actually transnational and multicultural, extending from the Balkans to Anatolia and Egypt. Developed from an architectural point of view, this thesis produced important historical knowledge, drawing on unpublished materials in the Eldem’s archives.

Garden place composition

Comparative analysis of 17th-20th century East and Central Asia gardens Author: Mostafa Movahedinia I Advisor: Francesco Collotti I XXVI I Cycle 2014 Western and central Asia, given its climate, requires the creation of green and fresh spaces; these spaces, in the history of this area, are built as gardens. These gardens have architectural characteristics and styles so remarkable that they need a detailed historical study. The theme of the research is based on an in-depth analysis of the gardens in western and central Asia over three centuries: between 1600 and 1900 AD. Necessarily, the research extends its field of interest also to previous periods, where the presuppositions of a specific and rooted culture are thrown. The general objective of the research is to identify a “theory for a practice�, searching the compositional codes to approach the making of a garden. Making a garden means being able to control a process that requires mastery over the theory and composition of the gardens in the area under examination, therefore means exercising a discipline that requires specific technical and practical skills, theoretical and compositional knowledge. To achieve this goal we started from the in-depth study of the individual gardens and the reading of their places. An haptic approach, not a theoretical one. In the first part we talk about the problems existing in the study path and the research method.

The Doorway Area

A Lesson from travelling in the works of Louis I. Kahn Author: Roberto Bosi I Advisor: Fabio Capanni I XXIX Cycle I 2017 The following doctoral researches deal with the theme of the relationship between space, light and structure, with particular attention to the transitional spaces between interior and exterior in the work of Louis I. Kahn and the importance of the role of light in sacred architecture of Pier Luigi Nervi. PhD Program Coordinator Francesco Collotti Scientific Board ICAR 14

During his several trips to Europe, Louis I. Kahn registered the spatiality of ancient Mediterranean architecture on his travel journals, with as much precision as a seismometer would do. From an analysis of some of his relevant sketches from the first journey (19281929) and the second one (1950-1951), it is clear that the chosen point of view is very significant for him. It allows him to establish a relationship between the architecture and the context, moving from the shade to the light to represent the connection between internal and external areas, as a doorway organized in a sequence of spaces, be they porches, openings or anything else. Louis I. Kahn had already dealt with the doorway theme in his juvenile project on Casa Weiss, where internal and external spaces were managed through a two-dimensional diaphragm. The doorway will then become a central theme in all his later projects, such as for the U.S. Consulate in Luanda, Angola, for the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, for the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad and for both the Parliament and the Hospital in Dhaka. In these projects, the doorway is considered as a space on its own, encompassing the internal building with another building.

The structurality of space

Light in sacred architecture of Pier Luigi Nervi Author: Angela Benfante I Advisor: Fabio Capanni I XXXI Cycle I 2017 Pier Luigi Nervi, protagonist of the twentieth century architecture, produces during his long career a large number of original and emblematic projects and realizations where the most surprising thing is the essentiality of the architectural space defined exclusively by structure and natural light. G. C. Argan wrote in 1955: “the constructions of Nervi aim above all to define the structurality of the space-light; and since the space-light or, which is the same, the space-phenomenon manifests itself in the luminous sensation, it is clear that the process of formal intuition must move from sensation and tend to produce a sensation, of which the inner structure or coherence is manifested. This explains the continuous variety of the structural textures of this architecture: a variety that tends to reproduce in the form the infinite possibilities of refraction and diffraction of light rays, to develop the whole series of relationships between quantity and luminous quality.“(Argan G.C., 1955, Pier Luigi Nervi, Il Balcone, Milan). The research aims to confirm the statements of Giulio Carlo Argan by analysing the works and projects of sacred architecture by Pier Luigi Nervi, which are little known works but suitable to deepen the theme of natural light and the relationship with the structure as fundamental elements in the definition of space.

Touching what is invisible

Light and Shadow, architecture design’s fourth dimensions Luis Ramiro Barragan Author: Alessandro Cossu I Advisor: Maria Grazia Eccheli I XXIX Cycle I 2017 PhD Program Coordinator Francesco Collotti Scientific Board ICAR 14 Fabrizio Arrigoni Riccardo Butini Fabio Capanni Francesco Collotti Maria Grazia Eccheli Alberto Manfredini Fabrizio Rossi Prodi Paolo Zermani

The research aims to investigate the role that light and shadow have in the perception of architectural space and in the determination of the character of buildings: if “architecture is the wise, rigorous and magnificent play of the volumes under the light”, it is up to the dialectic element of the shadow the task of identifying the character of the buildings. For an investigation that is not merely theoretical and / or abstract, it has seemed useful to analyse the compositional principles used by those who, among the interpreters of the Modern Movement, have been able to raise the theme of light and shadow to real building material, like lime and cement: Luis Ramiro Barragán Morfín. Starting from the analysis of the theoretical doctrine of the Modern Movement, exhibited by two of the major interpreters, such as Le Corbusier and Louis I. Kahn - whom Barragán has the opportunity to know -, the thesis aims to investigate how the Mexican master, during the course of his composing career, he analysed and put into practice these theoretical statements, transposing them both in the light of his human character of great pathos and spirituality, and also to his conscience as a child of Mexican culture, taking part in the construction of Emotional Architecture. The exile of shadows Emotional architecture turns out to be the synthesis of a careful analysis that, to its veiled shoulders, presupposes a succession of contaminations that border on the field of art, architecture, philosophy and visual perception. What is certain is that, although we can be misled by the definition of the term, it does not appear to be a true architectural current, nor an almanac of compositional suggestions, but rather a long reflection on the methods of composing, which find in Barragán the greatest exponent, but that however they do not have a direct correspondence with words written by the author. All this finds justification in the very personality of the teacher of Guadalajara, extremely introverted and reserved. The transmissibility of the teachings is taken over by Mathias Goeritz, who in his multiple and controversial opportunistic positions, realizes an encroachment from the field of art to that of architecture, realizing, no longer symbolic works without function, but a real and its own architecture, which, in the intent of the author, can become a manifestation of these concepts: the El Eco experimental museum. In this “adventure” apparently Luis Barragán leaves no trace of his presence, but the construction seems to pay constant tribute, even with some apparent “errors”. This intervention, realized by will and by the hand of Goeritz, sums up all the contaminations that will be transformed, at the time of the inauguration, into the Manifesto of Emotional Architecture, written by the German artist, but which contains contaminations and experiences of a whole group that for years shares the principles of composing not only understood as those of the field of architecture, but of composing an emotion.

Urban types in Italian residential complexes since 1970 Author: Tommaso Rafanelli I Advisor: Fabrizio Rossi Prodi I XXVI Cycle I 2014

A few doctorate studies reconsider the contents and methods of urban design, explore in detail the themes of public space and in-between spaces, the evolution of urban types, the features of residential settlements and some typing tools of settlements and neighborhood. PhD Program Coordinator Francesco Collotti Scientific Board ICAR 14

The research explores the problems inherent in the urban analysis of contemporary Italian residence, identifying a methodology for research on the scale of the urban pattern. The difficulties encountered in trying to classify contemporary residence are mainly due to the heterogeneity of building types and settlement rules that determine the disposition of the building on the parcel. The analytical apparatus generally referred to the historical city is then reinterpreted through a “change of typological scale” (C. Aymonino) that allows to identify formal invariants on the scale of the urban pattern, named “urban types”. The proposed classification is based on the observation of the elements that contribute to define the urban pattern: the building, the lot and the road network. The city is therefore understood globally considering as a field of investigation those transformations of “consolidated” districts or recent peripheral expansions that identify precise relationships between these elements, regardless of their extent.

In-between places in the urban project in Netherlands and Italy

Author: Francesca Genise I Advisor: Fabrizio Rossi Prodi I XXIII Cycle I 2011

The design of urban space, understood as a space free from rigid distinctions between public and private property, finds its completeness in the architectural qualification of threshold spaces; the relationship between road and private spaces exists only thanks to the quality of the project on the threshold, understood as an in-between place (A. Van Eyck). From the second post-war period, the road will no longer be conceived as a corridor, but as the first place beyond the doorway where social relations are possible, the urban block will open in search of an intermediate staircase where the relationship between neighbouring buildings can take shape. In this sense, the articulation of the in-between space becomes the most important aspect, since in relation to how the space is articulated a certain plasticity is conferred to the places that is decisive for its perception. The intermediate space becomes, therefore, a complementary element to the buildings in the qualification of the block, but it also becomes part of a system of places held together by flows (polycentric net of K. Lynch) that innervate the city and that allow to keep together at the same time the scale of the house and that of the city.

Between place and journey

Angiolo Mazzoni’s architecture from Italy to Colombia Author: Giulio Basili I Advisor: Paolo Zermani I Cycle XXVI I 2014 PhD Program Coordinator Francesco Collotti Scientific Board ICAR 14 Fabrizio Arrigoni Riccardo Butini Fabio Capanni Francesco Collotti Maria Grazia Eccheli Alberto Manfredini Fabrizio Rossi Prodi Paolo Zermani

The research explores the design activity of the architect and engineer Angiolo Mazzoni, in the relationship between Italian production expressed from the mid Twenties until the Thirties and the projects developed in Colombia between 1948 and 1963. The original feature of this story is represented by the emblematic comparison that the architect establishes with the landscape and the architectural tradition of the two countries. Mazzoni is fully placed inside of the typological transformation process of many technically complex buildings. The results of this research oscillate, in both circumstances, between “traditionalist” and “modern” solutions, with the controversial ambition to be included in the Italian tradition of the early twentieth century, also in foreign countries. This aim desired by Mazzoni with the definition of “futurism”, but rather recognizable, especially in Italy, in a good identification with the Dechirichian metaphysical figuration.

Modern Masters at Palazzo Strozzi The exhibitions of Wright, Le Corbusier and Aalto Effects on the Florentine School Author: Lisa Carotti I Advisor: Paolo Zermani I Cycle XXVI I 2014 The research investigates the story of the exhibitions organized at Palazzo Strozzi from 1951 to 1966, dedicated to Wright, Le Corbusier and Aalto and conceived by Ragghianti as part of a post-war political-cultural project, where the re-foundation of the arts and their disclosure represents an opportunity for collective awareness and a means of achieving freedom. A program that assigns to the modern architectural language a cathartic, re-

generative role, able to trigger a process of rebirth of the Italian culture. Successfully inaugurated by Frank Lloyd Wright’s exhibition, Ragghianti’s project loses its strength as it is realized, because of the reduction of the general program and the time dilation between one exhibition and the other, but also due to the impossibility for Ragghianti to express his own vision through the exhibitions. The weakness of the results is reflected, perhaps, in the architecture built in Florence between the ‘50s and’ 60s, which too often rereads the Masters’ lesson in a superficial way, so much so that it is questionable if this reading would not have been deeper under the guidance of what could be Ragghianti’s exegesis of Modern architecture.

Alvar Aalto and Italy

The ancient roots of New Finland Author: Chiara De Felice I Advisor: Paolo Zermani I Cycle XXIX I 2017 This analysis investigates the bond between Aalto and Italy. It enlightens the permanent knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean world as model and reference during his whole production. The evolution, that leads Aalto’s oeuvre towards an increasing abstraction and deeper synthesis, is presented through the reconstruction of some main episodes of Aalto’s story. The chronicle of his journeys in Italy, combine with Aalto’s photos and sketches of his trips, demonstrates how the Italian journey is always experienced by Aalto with the same feeling, almost reverential, for the Italian dimension. At the same time it represents the metamorphosis of Aalto’s gaze on landscape and architecture: progressively released from formal issues, but closer to universal themes instead. A symbolic journey, nearly Omeric, trough the themes of tradition and human nature.

The evolution of architectural and urban conception of health and care structures sees the affirmation of a less specialized approach, not only based on functional and technological aspects. The renewed interest in the architectural and urban quality of care places moves in a systemic vision, that aims at promoting structures conceived as a network, from the point of view of the functions to be performed and inserted in the economic, social and territorial context. At the centre of this vision there is no longer the hospital with its technological complexity, but the person with his/her life and needs, people able to provide assistance and care, the social context and the people’s health that should be protected and promoted. Research main objectives, approaches, and methodologies Research in architecture is based on analytical and interpretative methodologies to propose design solutions capable to respond to functional, technological and process requirements, that could be responsible and innovative, in terms of space quality, technological efficiency, social, environmental and economic sustainability. The Technology of Architecture, intended as a discipline of the project, with the development of research and design methodologies, particularly in Italian technological culture, brings a specific, non-specialist contribution, able to coordinate the different skills necessary to design health facilities, starting from the living places and arriving to the places of acute care. The application areas do not materialize in predetermined building types, but rather in places capable of adapting to the evolution of the use and technological requirements and operating on a network, to respond to a changing society, to the new acquisitions of the medical and social sciences, to the plurality of needs of each person, that are exacerbated in the case of fragile, sick or disabled people.

ASD: architecturAbility

Sensory “therapeutic” environments to make people Able. An integrated life project for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder Author: Elena Bellini I Advisor: Maria Chiara Torricelli ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by challenges with social skills, communication, repetitive behaviours and sensory perception. The most recent data estimate autism’s prevalence as 1 in 68 children (CDCP, USA) with a male-to-female ratio of 4:1. This research aims to improve the quality of life of people with ASD in living environments, to make them Able and included in the society. This research affirms also that universal design is not the right answer for ASD, as it can differ a lot from person to person. On the contrary, it is presented a new co-design approach to support the design process based on flexibility, customisation and dynamic space. The autism-friendly waiting room in Careggi Hospital is an application of this method and the first example in Italy of a sensory room in Emergency Department.

FLexible, Universal, and Adaptable system for acute patient room Author: Virginia Serrani I Advisor: Maria Chiara Torricelli Research purpose is to improve services provided by patient room, in the light of the complexity of users’ needs, and to optimize the production system related, in relation to the request for flexibility in short and long term. The analysis of technological and environmental requirements, users’ needs, specific features linked to medical specialities and levels of care, allow the development of a “unique” patient room. The construction of a performance requirements framework and the following development of a fit-out system for the patient room leads to the definition of spatial, technological and environmental features of a new model for acute patient room. It is called FL.U.A, which means FLexible, Universal, Adaptable acute patient room.

Airport architectural design study can be defined as a challenging research area due to the constant dynamism of aviation industry and operations complexity. Researchers should get in acquaintance with common practices and obtain useful references for deepening their knowledge regarding Airport Design methodologies. It’s also needed to better understand what are the main inefficiencies of the projects individuated by users and other disciplines previous researched and these have direct and indirect consequences on Airport operation.

Airport Lean Integration - ALI Author: Filippo Bosi I Advisor: Maria Antonietta Esposito, Rafael Sacks The research deals with the methodological aspects of project design development to detect, also on the base of practice, useful elements to define new project design development methodology and its supporting tools, based on the Lean Mind-set. The methodology and tools are aimed to the definition, generation and increment of “value” of

the project with the reduction of “wastes” in project design development activities. Reducing wastes allows the design team to focus on the delivery of value to the client. Moreover, the doctoral research proposes to clear the contemporary scenario of Airport Design (AD) and to foresee future tendencies with the evidences emerged from the investigation of current practices, best practices and common issues found in the matrix of contemporary Airport Design Project Development. Two methods have been used in the development of ALI, Design Science Research and Action Research. Design Science Research is aimed to produce an innovative product – an artefact – that allows to better understand the scientific and industrial problem and to develop a methodology to improve the quality of the design process, conveying more value with its final product. Action Research aims to address scientific problems and issues involving the researcher in a “community of practice”, namely a collective whose members share a peculiar interest towards a cause, craft or have the same profession or profile. The common interests of its members lead naturally to the evolution and improvement of the community of practice knowledge base, mainly through information sharing, experiences sharing, side-by-side learning and, on-thejob training. Specific objectives of ALI are: • Transferring Lean process logics typical of the industrial production to the development of airport projects; • Strengthening the knowledge of Airport owners in the industry about Integrated Product Delivery and Lean Processing in Project Design Development; • Integrate aspects related of the Life Cycle in project design development; • Define criteria and measurement unit for Lean evaluation of the design process; • Implement the methodology and tools inside the Project Design process to make it leaner.

The scientific context is the research applied at the transformation processes of the environment. At different levels, from the building materials to the settlement systems to the landscape, methods and tools of the research proposed are designed to contribute to innovation and scientific and technological development of the architecture. The different fields of inquiry are affected by a similar theoretical base: the performance design approach. In our vision of “conducting research”, the design carries out an educative function thanks both to its role as a speculative and interdisciplinary synthesis tool. Interdisciplinarity is achieved through the promotion of specific educational projects targeting at dialogue among different academic fields designed to strengthen specific competencies and skills.

Urban Agriculture and sustainable city Innovative technologies for urban requalification

Author: Chiara Casazza I Advisor: Marco Sala I Co-advisors: Daniela Poli, Giacomo Pietramellara In the last decades a complex phenomena that involves architectural disciplines is spreading even in European towns: urban agriculture, the practice of growing vegetable “within the city limits for the city itself”.Food production in urban contexts became nowadays a tangible strategy for urban requalification while enhancing a network of social, recreational and commercial activities, private and public space (especially neglected ones) revitalization, shared green spaces creation, integration between built environment and nature, awareness toward sustainable lifestyles, education, social cohesion and new possibilities for a green (productive) infrastructure boosting. On these bases was conducted a doctoral research tackling the theme of sustainable urban renewal and those new strategies and technologies to be adopted. The research aim was pointing to analysing the potential of urban agriculture as an innovative strategy to increase urban green and green infrastructure, defining a range of design possibilities in terms of a new interpretation and function of urban (both built and open) space that it offers to designers, architect, and public administrations.

Prefabricated timber structures for temperate climates Method for investigating thermal comfort and energy efficiency in residential buildings

Author: Alessandra Carta I Advisor: Marco Sala I Co-advisor: Michele Vio Prefabricated structures are characterized by rapidity, ease of construction and a greater control of quality project: this integrated design involves not only the construction methods and materials but also the HVAC systems. In this scenario is interesting to understand how the choice of light construction structures, with low thermal mass values, affects the variation of energy consumptions and indoor comfort levels for a residential in temperate climate. At the same time the research wants to investigate on heating and cooling strategies suitable for timber structures, in order to avoid overheating in buildings, reducing energy consumptions arise from the use of air-conditioning. This analysis aims to define a comparison of performance and energetic consumptions between two different structures (Cross Laminated Timber and Timber Frame off-site modules), verifying the different configurations for temperate climate. The research develops a method for a comparative analysis and an open catalogue of the results obtained, as guidelines for planning and design integrated system: a tool for support the technical design of residential timber constructions.

The research has defined an operational tool for a synergic evaluation of energy and seismic issues in existing schools buildings. The aim is to identify, through a simplified procedure, the main buildings that need urgent retrofit interventions, both in terms of reducing energy consumption and improving seismic safety. Because of the inadequacy of the existing school buildings at recent norms, the limited public economic resources available, and the urgency of taking preventive action to avoid damage due to earthquakes or other natural disasters, it could be useful to have an expeditious analysis tool, for a rapid investigation of the state of existing schools, in order to direct funding towards those buildings that necessitate of a priority for action. The tool allows to evaluate the necessary measures to be taken and to facilitate the “activation� of an integrated retrofit process, identifying integrated technological solutions.

Urban growth, economic crises’ relapses and migration phenomena are creating even more economic and social vulnerable populations, which are impacting cities with novel housing emergencies, threatening basic human rights and social cohesion. The shortage of affordable housing solutions is forcing such new inhabitants in informal ways of living, representing both a threat to and an opportunity to rethink urban strategies for inclusive, resilient, safe and sustainable cities, as suggested in the UN HABITAT and EU Urban Agendas 2016. Research main objectives, approaches, and methodologies With the challenge to cope with the right to housing for the most vulnerable of “city seekers”, leaved out from public social housing solutions and forced to turn into informal and self-managed ones, researches explore the intermediate grey zone in between, analysing the emergence of new ways of living and of temporary, flexible and evolutive housing solutions in urban areas, both in regeneration and in new construction. Collecting international best practices (realized or projects), conducting field researches (involving squatters and third sector associations) and “networking” with international field academics (Workshop “New Cities and Migration”, Florence University, September 2016), researchers have focused on proposals for new requirements and guidelines towards more resilient urban responses.

Housing emergency and minimum requirements for Reception: contribution to the strategy of resilience

Author: Ilaria Montella I Advisor: Roberto Bologna I Co-Advisor: Chiara Tonelli The population pressure and the massive urban migration determine a constant housing discomfort in huge masses of population that, in conditions of disadvantage, do not have access to housing, as migrants, low income peoples and those who are already on the waiting list for public housing or not yet enrolled on it. Without a quick response the housing crisis results in informal solutions that become an emergency themselves. The city is called on to face this chronic stress enhancing its resilience, which also includes housing, as highlighted in the Resilience Framework. Developing a complex methodology, based on the analysis of informal settlements and of case studies designed in the world to prevent them, the present study investigates the contribution of architecture to the general Resilience Framework and if any characterising features exist (technological, typological, functional, procedural) that, if preemptively applied to the project, may favour resilient responses. Taking metadesign as a reference, the research drafts a “Framework of technical guidelines for essential new and temporary housing solutions”, structured in “Technical sheets for planning” aimed at helping all the players involved in design processes reach resilient outcomes.

Reception centres for asylum seekers: from critical spaces to opportunity for the resilient city Author: Gisella Calcagno I Advisor: Roberto Bologna The ongoing Mediterranean refugee/migrant crises are stressing the capacity (numbers) and capability (performances) of EU reception systems to guarantee adequate standards of living (housing), threatening the protection provided by the human right of asylum (local integration). The research focus on the less-described architectural and urban dimensions of “reception centres”, formally instituted by arrival countries to collectively accommodate needy applicants during the asylum procedure and informally spreading in European cities, where the transition from emergency to integration should start, or not. Research methods included literature reviews on the space of asylum; diachronic and comparative analysis of EU and IT reception centres’ standards and conditions; EU best practices’ analysis; stage at the NTNU of Trondheim (NO); field research in reception centres of Florence (mapping and case studies analysis). Results depicted a heterogeneous spectrum of improvised settlement and housing solutions, reflecting the lack of shared/qualitative standards and strategic/contingency urban scenarios: the research proposes architectural and urban guidelines to regenerate reception structures and infrastructures looking at temporary uses and social innovation, even as an opportunity to strength urban resilience.

Architecture, patrons and Spanish presence in Florence in the 16th century Author: Carlos Plaza I Advisor: Amedeo Belluzzi I Co-advisor: Ana Marin Fidalgo I Cycle XXIII PhD Program Coordinator Mario Bevilacqua Academics Gianluca Belli Amedeo Belluzzi Alessandro Brodini Ferruccio Canali Emanuela Ferretti Riccardo Pacciani Saverio Sturm Corinna Vasic

The relationship between politics, court and architectural language in Florence at the time of Cosimo I are the basis of this PhD thesis research which focuses on the study of palaces and villas commissioned by Spanish patrons in the sixteenth century Tuscany. The documental and iconographic research, together with the production of new planimetric schemes, give force to new critical interpretations on Florentine palace’s architecture in the XVI century.

architecture and artistic patronage between Rome and Florence in the early 16th century Author: Alessio Caporali I Advisor: Amedeo Belluzzi I Co-advisor: Emanuela Ferretti I Cycle XXIX The research outlines the figure of Bernardo Bini (1461-1548), a rich Florentine merchant and a clever politician who became one of the most powerful bankers of the State of the Church during Leone X’s pontificate. Through the study of the artistic patronage promoted by this figure, is possible to reconstruct the history of works of art and palaces – not well known – that enter plentifully into the artistic outline of Renaissance.

This stair is associated with others similar, but not studied, models (figg. 2-3). The study consists of the critical reading of bibliography and documents, the survey of the lumaca and the construction of a parametric model for the structural dimensioning of sixteenth-century architecture (at the CNRS of Marseille).

The Camaldolese monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence

Historical and architectural events from the 17th to the 20th century Author: Chiara Ricci I Advisor: Gianluca Belli I Co-advisor: Cécile Caby - Université Lumière Lyon 2 I Cycle XXX Founded in 1295, the monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli was for a long time one of the most important centres of culture and artistic production in Florence. The religious and civic role of the monastery was accompanied by the architectural development of the complex, which culminated in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with many works on the cloisters, the church, the library and the novitiate. The thesis reconstructs the historical and architectural events of the monastery during the last four centuries, in which the complex knows a progressive decline and a series of strong transformations that today prevent recognition of original structures and importance of the complex.

Carlo Francesco Bassi (Turin 1772-Turku 1840) Between Italy, Sweden and Finland

Between the end of the Eighteenth and the first half of the Nineteenth century, Finland experienced a complex political situation - the transition from the Kingdom of Sweden to the Russian Empire - but also a profound urban and architectural transformation. Along with the German architect Carl Ludwig Engel, renowned for turning Helsinki into one of the most interesting European neoclassical capitals, another talented young man worked in Finland: the Italian Carlo Francesco Bassi. Left at the edge of historiography and mostly unknown in Italy, Bassi is one of the leading figure in the birth of Finnish architecture. After spending a short time in Stockholm, Bassi moved to Finland and became the first director of the Intendant Office responsible for public buildings. Before his death in 1840 he produced hundreds of projects for the main Finnish cities, mostly unpublished, and built dozens of buildings. The research aims to reconstruct the life and work of the Italian architect and, analysing drawings and documents, to reconsider his role in the construction of the architectural identity of modern Finland.

From the primeval hut of Vitruvius to its iconographic fortune in architectural theory between the 15th and 18th centuries Author: Eleonora Guzzo I Advisor: Amedeo Belluzzi Co-advisor: Sabine Frommel - Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Parigi I XXVI Cycle The thesis concerns the study of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s tombeau in the crypt of Pantheon in Paris, a subject still unexploited. The formal characteristics of the wooden monument, a small scale rustic temple, are observed and framed within the context of the iconographic tradition of the origins of architecture with the Vitruvian Hut as its archetype.

The Market and the City

The Network of Giovanni Mengoni’s new Covered Markets in Florence (1865-1870) Author: Rita Panattoni I Advisor: Mario Bevilacqua I Co-advisor: Emanuela Ferretti I XXXI Cycle The research on the architect Giovanni Mengoni (1829-1877) and on Europe’s covered markets and commercial spaces is very inadequate! The thesis investigates the role of Mengoni in Florence, during the short but lively time when the city functioned as the new capital of the young Kingdom of Italy. Covered markets were essential infrastructures in late-Nineteenth century European cities, and the case of Florence, through the analysis of a wealth of new documentary evidence, is an outstanding example. Studying Florence’s covered markets addresses more general questions: the outrageous destruction of Paris’ Halles Centrales in the 1970s can now be seen against the more recent program of heritage preservation in Florence’s Mercato di S. Lorenzo. A case-study where experience overcomes the archetype?

The analysis of the transformations of an urban development almost entirely managed and financed by the public administration, in an attempt to promote public over private interests. The aim was to develop the seaside resort alongside the thriving local naval industry. The idea of a city with a double vocation needed specific infrastructures. The research discovered the existence and emphasised the development of a general idea of the town of Viareggio as a whole, multi-faceted body, where the history of its different areas is read as an interactive historical process.

The aim of the course in Design is to train a researcher with a high scientific profile, capable of working both in the academic and productive fields, on the basis of the theoretical methodological knowledge and design propositional skills typical of Design. The acceleration of technological innovation processes, the environmental urgency, the globalization of production processes and the growing maturity of the markets, require the confrontation with new and multiple levels of complexity from which arise both problematic conditions and opportunities for development and innovation. The strategic role of Design in seizing these opportunities is based on its ability to interpret innovation (formal, technological, social) through project management tools, through the transversality of skills, through the creative synthesis ability that characterize the culture and practice of Design. The curriculum is divided into 3 areas of study: • Product design • Interior design • Communication design

INTERDISCIPLINARY DESIGN Today, more than ever, innovation intended as systemic, multidimensional, crossroads of more knowledge, appears to be the only real competitive variable for companies and territories. Within this scenario, design has an important task as a discipline capable of conveying, making acceptable, promoting and enhancing innovative practices. The designer plays the role of mediator between different knowledge, integrating the different contributions and multiplying their effects.

DESIGN RESEARCH The doctoral thesis presented in this book tell us about the specificity of research in design applied to several disciplinary domains. Design as mediation and catalysis of tacit and codified knowledge, able to make technological innovations immediately applicable and usable, absolutely not referential, but in relation to the needs of society. Design is capable of intervening on the challenges of contemporary life, often of an applied/project nature. Design is instrumental, that is aimed at developing project’s methods and tools and less frequently theoretical.

Social inclusion in the field of learning technology the “Universal Design� approach

Author: Alessia Brischetto I Advisor: Francesca Tosi I XXVII Cycle PhD Program Coordinator Giuseppe Lotti Academics Gianpiero Alfarano Elisabetta Benelli Elisabetta Cianfanelli Laura Giraldi Vincenzo Legnante Saverio Mecca Alessandra Rinaldi Francesca Tosi

To date, among the Information and Communication Technologies for learning, assistive technologies are increasingly employed to allow anyone to work in a healthy, effective and with equal access to the technology, regardless of any impairment (physical or cognitive) or disability. Nevertheless, people are often not able to perform pre-determined tasks, as many limitation to accessibility can be encountered. To overcome such drawbacks, computer systems as well as hardware and software tools that follow universal access rules should be created, thus allowing to all people an equal access to information. In other words, it is strictly necessary to design for accessibility. Bearing this in mind, the present work is focussed on the study of design and regulatory aspects that may affect the Educational Technology research area by underlying the relationship between Universal Design for Learning, collaborative learning and accessibility standards in the field of inclusive learning. Moreover, thanks to the contribution coming from the sector of Ergonomics for Design, the work wants to analyse what are the main features involved in the development of inclusive learning platforms.

Sustainability and Design

Method and Tools for product design and services Author: Marco Marseglia I Advisor: Giuseppe Lotti I XXVIII Cycle The present study takes into account both methods and tools which are traditionally used as a support to sustainability-oriented design, such as Life Cycle Design and Life Cycle Assessment, and methods and tools which are deemed promising as the Cradle to Cradle concept, the Product Service System, the Biomimicry (biomimicry), the Social Innovation and the Design Thinking. Some of these tools have been applied over the course of two research projects concerning the design of new models of camper (Trigano Spa) and freezer (HIGH CHEST, Whirlpool). A reflection about the methods and the instruments analysed has been made in the end, by integrating them into a hypothetical design flow with the aim of understanding how these do foster the project fertilization. The same action was done for research projects in order to map the design process involved and thus to identify the various contributions given by methods and tools. It is further advanced a hypothesis about how some of these tools can be integrated to facilitate the design flow between multiple participants.

Design for social inclusion

An Analytical Tool for Sharing-Based Services Author: Daniele Busciantella Ricci I Advisor: Francesca Tosi Co-advisor: Alessandra Rinaldi I XXIX Cycle PhD Program Coordinator Giuseppe Lotti Academics Gianpiero Alfarano Elisabetta Benelli Elisabetta Cianfanelli Laura Giraldi Vincenzo Legnante Saverio Mecca Alessandra Rinaldi Francesca Tosi

According to the demographic projections the European and the world’s population is progressively ageing. This condition will lead to profound social changes globally and involves people of all ages. The Active Ageing is a strategy that concerns the process of optimising opportunities for health and participation where it is necessary to involve people of all ages. According to these assumptions, this research defines the hypothesis that contexts and people activities based on ‘sharing’ are particularly appropriate to the promotion of the health in favour to the reduction of the health care during ageing. The main topics of this thesis are related to the health promotion, the social inclusion and exclusion, the social innovation. An in-depth analysis points to the ‘sharing’ concept, the collaborative consumptions and services based on sharing. For this reason specific tools in the filed of service design, human-centred design and inclusive design approaches were analysed. The main result is the development of the analytical tool named ‘Inclusion in Sharing-Based Services’ (I-SBS). The aim of the I-SBS tool is to analyse the exclusion and inclusion concepts in services within the ‘Sharing-Based Services’ (SBS) conceptual framework by the analysis of the service structure. According the hypothesis services within this framework could be helpful to foster inclusive and health-enabling contexts. Furthermore the thesis describes the design and development process, the prototyping and the evaluation phases of the I-SBS toolkit. A discussion about results, limits and future developments of this research is reported in the conclusions of the thesis. In particular it was described a comparison among the results obtained by the evaluation of the I-SBS tool and the hypothesis and the objectives previously identified.

Designed and made in Italy

Towards a new paradigm of craftsmanship excellence Author: Ramona Aiello I Advisor: Elisabetta Cianfanelli I Co-advisor: Luca Toschi I XXIX Cycle The research aims to internationalize the Italian cultural heritage through the craft product. The general objective of the research is to contribute to the dissemination of tacit knowledge that lies in people, artisans, places, and in the history and society as a strategy of competitiveness for a country’s economic system. An e-commerce platform was created in collaboration with luisaviaroma.com with the aim to support the difficulty of internationalization for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Each product has been selected according to a qualitative tool developed by the research. The monitoring of the effectiveness of the platform has led to the design of a tool for the communication of Italian artisan products. This tool is a practical application of the knowledge transmission model developed by Nonaka and Tekeuchi (1995). In this case the model is applied to the tacit knowledge of artisans which make products “designed and made in Italy”. Applying this tool to communication it does mean considering the Italian artisan product as a vehicle of knowledge-experience for the global user-customer. The main objective is to lead the global user-client to the point of origin of the artisan process by the activation of a transfer of interiorisation from explicit to tacit and making it as a memorable experience. Therefore the hypothesis is to consider a new economy for the Italian manufacturing sector and at the same time supporting a virtuous circle of knowledge. Finally the research proposes an Italian way for the Industry 4.0 focused on the knowledge economy as a real resources for the individual, social, economic and political well-being. Keywords: Tacit knowledge, Communication design, SME Internationalization, Industry 4.0.

The goal of the research project has been the development of a operating plan that, through an experimental methodology of landscape analysis and survey using of the photographic tool, would be able to lead to credible and reliable representations of the acquired urban context. The experimentation involved the application of the Structure from Motion methodology above five case-studies, on national and international contexts: the village of Korza (Karelia, Russia), the pueblo of Portobello (Panama), the historical centre of Bethlehem (Palestine), the historical centre of Samara (Russia), the historical centre of Pavia (Italy); chosen because of their identity character that makes them recognizable at the territorial level. The research was then aimed at experimenting the ways in which three-dimensional systems obtain, through the separation of the corresponding elements that help to define the “landscape�, a capacity for reading and managing three-dimensional mesh surfaces through the importation of digital data on G.I.S. platforms where, to each graphic element of the three-dimensional drawing, can correspond multiple information levels defined by data connect to the model.

The research project deals with the topic of surveying and representation methodologies for the documentation and analysis of wooden architecture through the analysis of case studies in Russia: Kizhi island, Kinerma, Yurgilitsa, Korza, Syargilahta. The research wants to determine how to perform survey operations, identifying fundamental aspects for the analysis and for the census of complex timber settlements, through the constant exercise of discretization of the information, from the general to the particular. A comparison of cultural models has been elaborated considering the main elements of the survey, representation of architecture and of the environment. The theoretical approach embraces practical experimentation and vice versa with the aim of establishing guidelines fundamental for the survey of wooden architecture. The use of technological instruments and experimental acquisition methods have contributed to the increase of the relevant techniques specifically applied to wooden structures.

Structure and Conservation of Architecture and Cultural Heritage

Stone Conservation Monitoring

PhD Program Coordinator Ugo Tonietti Scientific Board ICAR 08 - ICAR 09 ICAR 19 Valerio Alecci Alberto Bove Giuseppe Centauro Angelo D’Ambrisi Mario De Stefano Maurizio De Vita Stefano Galassi Luca Giorgi Pietro Matracchi Tommaso Rotunno Luisa Rovero Roberto Sabelli Marco Tanganelli Giacomo Tempesta Ugo Tonietti Stefania Viti

Preventive Conservation, preventing or reducing the potential damage of building heritage, could be, in the long term, more effective and cost efficient than remedial conservation. A large number of studies have been conducted in recent years to investigate this topic as well as the question of the effectiveness of consolidating and conservative treatments for stones. However, a conceptual delineation and systematization of data in view of real utility for Preventive Conservation of Monumental Heritage is lacking. The researches presented below have as their object the study of two monumental complexes of considerable importance: the first one studies Giotto’s bell tower, an integral part of the monumental complex of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence; the second one studies the San Zeno Cathedral and the San Giovanni in Corte Baptistery in Pistoia. Complex archival research have identified the restoration interventions and the materials that make up the factories in order to highlight and propose useful suggestions for inspection and monitoring activities required by modern maintenance, which, according to the definition of the current Italian Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape (D.Lgs. 42/2004, art.29, c.3), consists of the “set of activities and interventions aimed at controlling the conditions of cultural heritage and maintaining the integrity, functional efficiency and identity of the asset and its parts”.

The maintenance of the stone vestments of large factories

The materials of the external encrustation and their replacement of the 19th century until today in Giotto’s Bell Tower Author: Antonio Lattuchella I Advisor: Luca Giorgi I 2017 The work has as its object the restoration of the marble ‘incrustations’ and the substitutions which, in the last two centuries, have affected the covering materials of Giotto’s bell tower. The study was carried out on the basis of lengthy and complex archival research in order to trace the photographic material and the documents useful for identifying and reconstructing the marble substitution interventions carried out from the nineteenth century, up to the sixties of the twentieth century and attesting the state of conservation of the bell tower over the decades. The research also attempted to identify the origin and nature of the materials and the period of substitutions in order to achieve an accurate reconstruction of the restorations performed and the mapping of the coating. The collected data have been graphically returned by means of 2D representations of the substitutions that have affected the eastern façade in the last two centuries. The mapping of the façade in question has provided essential data for the development of a system for monitoring the conservation status of all the marble surfaces, which includes, among other things, the periodic verification of the water repellency of the surfaces, of the state of conservation of the materials and the anchoring iron brackets of the marble encrustations to the underlying structure and of the air quality. From the monitoring results will be able to achieve targeted conservation actions. Through the ideas offered by the study of some experiences in the field of maintenance of historic buildings, the research has also made some suggestions on the most suitable strategies for the Florentine monumental complex. In this way, we wanted to contribute to the preparation of a management model that allows to perform in a systematic way all the possible practices of planned conservation, in order to postpone and / or avoid the restorations that, according to the most common practice, are realized when the damage has already occurred, according to a logic based on cyclic replacement programs.

Preventive Conservation Issues applied to decorative and sculptural apparatuses of Monumental Heritage

PhD Candidate: Mila Martelli I Advisor: Maurizio De Vita Co-advisor: Carlo Alberto Garzonio - UNIFI Scienze della Terra I 2019 The research project focuses on the possibility of ‘measuring’ and ‘quantifying’ the residual efficacy and therefore the ‘durability’, of conservative / protective interventions on valuable surfaces of Cultural Heritage; it aims to identify the levels beyond which deterioration phenomena are triggered or reactivated, as well as to identify the return period of the crisis phenomena and, consequently, to establish the periodic cycle to implement the minimum conservative actions, in order to prevent the reactivation of new phenomena of degradation. The study of the state of the art confirmed some hypotheses on the basis of this study:• the importance of protecting and reducing the porosity of materials, in order to contain the degradation processes • the substantial lack of data of treatments’ effectiveness in time and the lack of in situ monitoring • the absence of useful data for a concrete planning of actions of Preventive Conservation on Monumental Heritage. The research is conducted according to a double line of inquiry: • The systematization of information regarding methodologies of intervention on Monumental Surfaces • Tests on some monuments, in order to evaluate the residual efficacy of conservative treatments. Two representative case studies have been identified: the San Zeno Cathedral and the San Giovanni in Corte Baptistery in Pistoia. The two monuments are characterized by close proximity, by the presence of the same stones, by the same environmental conditions and by the presence of documentation of the restorations carried out in various periods. The choice was made possible by the partnership between the DIDA and the Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio SABAP Firenze, Pistoia, Prato. Proposed experimental investigation: non-invasive and / or micro-destructive diagnostic investigations to evaluate the treatments’ effectiveness in time: Colorimetry : in situ Contact Sponge Water Absorption Test UNI 11432: 2011; FTIR spectroscopy. Research main objectives: • Systematization of knowledge concerning Water-Repellent Treatments of Monumental surfaces. • Identification of in situ monitoring methods for the evaluation of treatments’ effectiveness in time. • Determine residual efficacy of conservative treatments for the two monuments. • Provide forecasts on the temporal threshold of treatments’ effectiveness. • Identification of methodologies to program periodic cycles to implement the minimum conservative action, in order to prevent the onset of new degradation phenomena.

Structure and Conservation of Architecture and Cultural Heritage

Rehabilitation and Reuse

PhD Program Coordinator Ugo Tonietti Scientific Board ICAR 08 - ICAR 09 ICAR 19 Valerio Alecci Alberto Bove Giuseppe Centauro Angelo D’Ambrisi Mario De Stefano Maurizio De Vita Stefano Galassi Luca Giorgi Pietro Matracchi Tommaso Rotunno Luisa Rovero Roberto Sabelli Marco Tanganelli Giacomo Tempesta Ugo Tonietti Stefania Viti

In the contemporary architectural debate, the areas of protection and rehabilitation are mutually linked in the projects on the historical heritage. Rehabilitation that is identified with the measures to ensure the vitality of the cultural heritage that involves the transformation of the building, which, without compromising its historical and architectural characteristics, takes a new use and a different meaning for the society. An enhancement of this type must therefore promote the knowledge of the protected architecture, the compatible use proposal and a sustainable intervention project. Both the doctoral research presented below studies the cohabitation between the heritage and the new architecture through representative case studies: in the first research the conservation and reuse of monumental architecture is evaluated, while in the second the scale is extended to the urban aggregate. What emerges is the constant comparison between the richness of historical signs and the potential of a new project that has as its purpose the respect of historical architecture and whose quality can be assessed in the permanence over time.

Old Buildings, New Museums

The evolution of the dialogue between conservation reuse and museography Author: Elisabetta Matarazzo I Advisor: Maurizio De Vita I 2018 The research deals with the transformation of historical buildings into permanent exhibition spaces, and therefore the topic is the dialogue that takes place in these operations between conservation, reuse and museography. The importance of assigning a function to historical buildings ensures their conservation and re-entry into contemporary reality; it is in this scope that the current cultural reuse is placed, which assigns the museum a fundamental role in the promotion of sustainable development, as an instrument to preserve the cultural heritage. In the first part of the research we will see, in parallel, how the awareness of the importance that a building hosts a certain use grows together with the compatibility of the interventions made in this regard with the historical building. In the second part we enter the contemporary. The convergence of old and new architecture within the theoretical development of the conservation, as well as the necessity of an active protection of the cultural heritage that sees in the museum institution a territorial value, is compared with the profound changes that have invested the museum institution in recent years. And so we choose to start from these changes to identify three thematic areas - related to the museum’s spatiality, to new urban functions and identity and to ways of planning a narration of the collection - to be reported in the study of current museum reuse projects, some of the most important European achievements of the last twenty years. The arguments will be supported, then, by the study of two representative case studies, the Neues Museum in Berlin and the Mountain Museum- Forte di Bard (Aosta), chosen for the critical, conservative and creative component of their restoration and for the recognized effectiveness of their program museum. The overall picture that is drawn, starting from the changes in the issues identified, will ultimately define the design trends in progress in this increasingly rising phenomenon and outline the lines of development. Research main objectives. Analyse how, within a museum re-use project, the relationship between the needs of a historical building to be protected and those of a modern museum to be installed inside has evolved.

Conservation and Valorization

of the “Salitreras” in the Region of Antofagasta, Chile Methodologies and intervention techniques PhD Candidate: Daniel Pinto Fuentes I Advisor: Roberto Sabelli Co-advisor: Jose Manuel Lopez Osorio - University of Malaga, Spain I 2019 The study is carried out on the recovery of the industrial-mining architecture and their respective smaller “historical” centres in abandonment, addressing the different topics that involve the complexity of their valorisation and management. In the second region of Chile, in a context where the architectural heritage is undervalued and often destroyed through the growth of cities, lack of regulations, and the “need” to introduce the “New”, but especially where the mining identity of the region, responsible for the birth of these cities, is not recognized and in the extension of the regional territory we can find different evidences of the past that make us understand the mining origin. An example of the lack of awareness for heritage and the lack of interest in mining recognition can be found the “Salitreras”, ancient settlements belonging to the extraction period of Saltpeter, extended around the years 1870-1930 having a global boom. These settlements gave rise to a system of territorial structuring that is maintained until today in the region. But, as a result of abandonment, today they are in complete disuse and deficient conservation states, isolated from the main cities in the immensity of the Atacama desert. Therefore, it is necessary to contribute to encouraging the recovery and conservation of our monuments as a fundamental issue and above all to demonstrate that it is possible to coexist architectural heritage with the new architecture through a conscious intervention. As well, it is imperative to disseminate the knowledge of the industrial-mining architecture in Chile, having to begin with its valorisation as a cultural heritage, understanding this not only as a monumental work, but as a “minor” architecture that as a whole takes relevance and carries with it the identity and historical-cultural values of a past and present mining. These arguments frame the development of the study, which has as its general objective the determination of a study methodology for the “Salitreras” construction cultures, through an in depth knowledge of the architecture present in the “Salitrera Chacabuco” and, after the analysing its situation current, propose an instrument for their recovery, reuse and conservation, identifying and classifying the various actions of intervention possible on this site (restoration, reconstruction, structural consolidation, etc.). Research main objectives: To identify their main “architectural and technological typologies”. Document the various constructive techniques present through schemes that provide the key for aspects legacy to the subsequent intervention. Determine the current state of conservation, vulnerability and threats of each architectural type. Propose methodologies of intervention catalogued according to the different requirements. Propose new uses.

FIMU - the city walls and the defensive system of Florence: representation and communication of the urban landscape between tradition and innovation. The city walls of Florence - with its doors, its towers and its ‘deficiencies’ - represent, for their historical importance and their charm, one of the identifying elements of the city. Despite this, however, they have not always been treated in deserved consideration. Responding to an appeal by the Municipality of Florence, since 2012 the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence (DIDA) and the Technical Services Office of the Municipality of Florence, continue the study of the complex of the city walls, with surveying campaigns of the surviving wall sections and with direct and indirect specialist investigations. In 2016 the ‘strategic basic research project’ was approved and funded by the University of Florence under the title “FIMU - The urban walls and the defensive system of Florence: representation and communication of the urban landscape between tradition and innovation”. The interdisciplinary project, with the creation of didactic-traditional and didactic-informatic supports, aims to bring to the knowledge of a wider public the complex of the city walls and to the creation of specific visit routes through a complex system of valorisation. A correct valorisation policy, however, has the obligation to set up control and management systems to maintain the safety levels of the structures and visitors. The Information Technology Development Department of the Municipality of Florence has made available its expertise and the Geonetwork-OpenData platform of the Municipality of Florence, for the creation of a specific archive that can be integrated, to allow various possibility of interface and the development of a management and maintenance plan of the structures. A more modern and efficient data storage, with the possibility of their use for the definition of a ‘Maintenance and management plan’ of the complex of the city walls - with a high ratio between the investment for knowledge (costs) and the possibility of its use (benefits) - will be supported by a Building Information Modelling (BIM), an integrated data management tool, to be jointly developed by the Municipality of Florence and the DIDA-UNIFI.

The theme of the relationship between restoration and landscape is a very complex subject. It was considered, from a theoretical point of view, also by one of the main figure of Italian restoration, Roberto Pane, who was the protagonist of the Venice Charter of Restoration (1964). The charter dealt with the protection of the urban and landscape environment, in defense of landscape. At a time when Italy was overwhelmed by post-war building speculation, Pane not only took defensive positions, but tried to understand the reasons that led to make quantitative logics prevail on aesthetic ones. According to Pane, landscape is a complex dynamic unit, which contains living and non-living matter, changeable both in time and in subjects and produced by profound interactions of nature, technique, art, culture, human sciences. In these two doctoral researches the theme of landscape is declined from two different points of view, to underline how the restoration project can be multi-disciplinary and multi-scale: one of the two doctoral researches deals with the study of conservation of works of art present at the Celle farm (Pistoia), a great example of environmental art, while the other deals with the theme of the relationship between historic villas -with the case study of the Medici villas- and the landscape.

Metals in contemporary art and architecture the Gori collection - Fattoria di Celle (Pistoia)

PhD Candidate: Tiziana Romiti I Advisor: Maurizio De Vita Co-advisor: Stefania Agnoletti - Opificio delle Pietre Dure - Firenze I 2019 The choice to analyse from a conservative point of view, the artworks in the Gori Collection, that is the first private land art collection in the world, was suggested by the need to try a first approach to degradation contexts that had not been investigated until now, about contemporary art and site specific art in particular, comparing them with the more classical ones of materials’ degradation in historical buildings. There are many similarities with architecture: site specific art means, in fact, the observation of specific context’s factors (light, vegetation, climate) so as to merge very deeply the art with environment, just like in a building. Another aspect of contemporary art, is the presence of polymaterical works, made with the same materials as architecture. In this case, the focus is on metallic materials:Stainless steel - Cor-ten steel - Cast Iron - Bronze and copper alloys - Aluminum. Each material is analysed in the general and particular aspect, related to the single artwork in which is used, and are studied also the processes, treatments, and surface finishes and the sources of deterioration. If interdisciplinarity is the basis of the ‘traditional’ architectonic conservation, the same is for land and site specific art conservation, so that it can’t be the prerogative of a single discipline; this is why the collaboration with the Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence has become essential for this job. Research main objectives: Find differences, or similarities, between modern and contemporary architectures and site specific artworks made with the same material (metallic material in particular). Find the action criteria and common guidelines eventually.

Villa, garden, landscape

Medicean villas’ system in Tuscany PhD Candidate: Virginia Neri I Advisor: Maurizio De Vita I 2019 The theme of the close link and the continuity between villa and rural landscape is an ancient consciousness that has gradually hardened over time, both in Italian and in European culture. If we consider the system of a villa with its historical garden, it is recurring that also from both the critical reading and the protection point of view, agricultural lands, always considered as an integral part of the complex, such as woods and streets, aren’t part of the same protection regime. This aspect should, however, have a fundamental role within the conservation project. The revision of the boundaries and the original relationship with the landscape context are useful for a redefinition of the borders of a place, initially conceived as an ideal of continuity with all the elements defining the landscape, such as agricultural textures, Roman centuriation, drainage works, and all those systems stratified over the course of history. This research develops this theme both from a theoretical point of view and with the help of case studies. My case study will focus on the Medici villas located in the plain around Florence. In this and many other cases, both in Italy and abroad, the villa with its garden and its landscape, is not a single complex, but it is included in a larger scale system, which involves other villas in the same area, forming a single system. The historical moment in which this phenomenon develops is very important: during the Renaissance, in fact, the great Florentine families invested in agriculture and then in the reorganization of villas, gardens and farms annexed. The relationship between the residential complex (as the set of buildings and gardens) and the surrounding environment, is one of the most amazing innovations of the modern Italian villa’s typology, defined starting from the mid-fifteenth century. In these cases the villa represents the sign of the dominant presence of the city in the countryside. The rural settlement development witnesses the openness and the increasingly symbiotic relationship with the environment, the territory and the surrounding landscape. Research main objectives: Find a new tool for the system’s critical reading. Find a specific tool to investigate the forms of landscape assets’ degradation.

Protection of cultural heritage against seismic risk constitutes one of the major challenges of the scientific community, which is actually engaged in refining operative solutions for practitioners as well as theoretical mechanical models. The response of special architectural elements, like arches, domes and vaults, has attracted the interest of historic scientists, but still today comprehensive and general formulations lack of a full dynamic perspective. Several investigations are available in the literature on the dynamic response of architectural elements typical of the wester building culture. However, when the constructive background changes, such models can hardly be employed with equal effectiveness. For these reasons, it is necessary to investigate on specific technological solutions widespread in eastern cultures and “translate” them in adequate and dedicated response structural models capable to tackle the structural “genius loci”.

Seismic vulnerability of pointed arches under rigid body assumption Numerical and experimental evaluations

Author: Giulia Misseri I Advisor: Luisa Rovero Co-advisor: Matthew DeJong - Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge I 2017 This dissertation reports on a parametric analysis of the vulnerability of pointed arches made of two circular arcs. The analysis considers variations of arch slenderness and sharpness that result from different positions of centres of circular arcs. Firstly, the arch is addressed as a rigid macro-block system, and limit analysis with the kinematic approach is exploited to determine the collapse acceleration through Non-Linear Programming optimisation. The pattern of hinges at collapse differs considerably from the one that occurs for circular arches. Acceleration necessary to initiate motion grows with the rise, as opposed to what occurs for circular shapes. Dynamic response of pointed arches for rectangular-shaped and harmonic inputs are investigated as well transforming arch mechanisms into four-bar linkages. Systematic integration of the non-linear form of the distinctive differential equation of the problem revealed that failure during second half cycle of motion occurs form most of the profiles. Such a trend would have never been tackled in the framework of linearised motion, which however provides more conservative estimations. Moreover, failure during second half cycle of motion for harmonic inputs, especially for low and medium frequencies, is found to be deeply influenced by the adopted impact model and, more importantly, by position of hinges. Considering also a micro-block approach, a wide experimental campaign addressed the equivalent static and full dynamic response of a set of 11 reduced-scale models of pointed arches made of prismatic Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks. The whole experimental campaign was carried out in testing Laboratory of DIDA (LabProvMat). Tilt tests and shake table tests uncovered the inherent sliding vulnerability of these profiles. Thus, a novel and specifically designed kinematic model (two-bars hinged at ground and connected by a slider), capable to consider sliding independently from the adopted friction coefficient, was validated as an effective tool to tackle global sliding mechanism of thick and sharp profiles. The sliding failure was recorded also employing the Distinct Element Method through the commercial code 3DEC with the aim of numerically modelling

the experimental campaign. Given the stated vulnerability of pointed arches to crown sliding, the four bar linkage model will be always lacking a fundamental aspect, especially for sharp and stocky profiles subjected to high frequency inputs. Future investigations should address vulnerability to complete time histories and in a probabilistic framework, sliding phenomena when overloading is considered and 3D.

Traditional construction techniques in northern Afghanistan

Consolidation of ancient architectures: Noh-Gunbad mosque in Balkh Author: Arash Boostani (PhD Candidate) I Advisor: Ugo Tonietti I Co-advisor: Luisa Rovero I 2019 The study zone in northern Afghanistan is selected along the significant historical Trans-Eurasian root latterly known as “Silk Roads”. Owing to its position, Afghanistan has collected cultural bias from both eastern and western neighbouring cultures, such as from Tibet and Buddhism as well as from ancient Great Persia and Zoroastrianism, resulting in strong and different featuring elements. Also the geographical background of the country can be very different from north to south, consequently affecting the technological solutions developed from place to place; from low hot oasis on the west up to high and cold mountains of Pamir and Hindukush on the east, with related different geology and seismicity. Due to the decennial state of war of the country, begun in 1979 and never ended, not even right now, most of the attention of national and international organizations focused on humanitarian aids and temporary sheltering for the refugees and little attention was devoted to cultural identity of this country. When available, studies on the architectural culture of the country focus on the history of the major monuments and never address a technological point of view, or traditional construction techniques used on ordinary housing or less historically important buildings. In fact, authors of most of the references are art historians and archaeologists. It is only thanks to the archaeological reports from Délégation Archéologique Française en Afghanistan (DAFA) particularly from Roland Besenval and some of the well-known art historians in the field, like Lisa Golombeck and Bernard O’Kane, that we had access to ancient evidences on the construction culture in the area. This documental information is fundamental to understand and investigate the history of many cultural heritage sites, but very limited data about the construction culture in the area are available. Motivations: Lack of research on the issue due to limited access to the country. Dispersed and limited (Art and History) knowledge. Personal concern for seismic risk of cultural heritage Objectives: Recording and systematizing of the existing traditional construction techniques. Detecting inherent weaknesses to build up compatible strengthening solutions. Benchmarking novel, fibre-composite solutions for seismic safety of earthen buildings.

Recent earthquakes showed the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings and, for this reason, scientific community is interested in evaluating new materials and techniques for reducing their seismic vulnerability. In this context, composite materials reinforced with long fibers represent a new technology, increasingly suitable for strengthening masonry structures in seismic area. Among them, Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites are becoming a valid alternative to Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs), especially for the strengthening of historical and monumental buildings, thanks to their high compatibility with the masonry substrate, low weight, rapidity and ease of application. FRP and FRCM composites present different mechanical behavior and failure mode. Main failure mechanism of FRCM composites is due to a delamination phenomenon at the matrix-fiber interface, while the FRP composites failure is due to a delamination at matrix–support interface. The correct evaluation of the bond performance of such materials plays a crucial role for properly designing a strengthening intervention by using FRCM composites.

Analysis of the mechanical behaviour of cement-based composite materials in the reinforcement of masonry structures Author: Gianfranco Stipo I Advisor: Luisa Rovero I Co-advisor: Ugo Tonietti I 2014 The research objectives: • Understanding of the main resistive phenomena that characterize the reinforcement system; • The interpretation of the behaviour of the fibre/matrix interface; • The evaluation of the effectiveness in terms of both deformation and resistive capacity of structural elements, such as panels and arches; • The calibration of analytical models for the determination of the transmissible force; • The composite materials were tested are PBO, carbon, glass with cement matrix and carbon with polymer matrix. Experimental phases: 1. mechanical characterization of the constituent material; 2. DST- double shear tests; 3. Diagonal test on 8 wall panels in 1:2 scale; 4. 18 tests on reinforced arches in 1:2 scale. The results were experimentally used to be the analytical model that interpret both phenomena of adhesion and the global behaviour of the reinforced models. Bond tests showed that the de-bonding phenomena occurs at the fiber-matrix interface. Sliding, the four bar linkage model will be always lacking a fundamental aspect, especially for sharp and stocky profiles subjected to high frequency inputs. Future investigations should address vulnerability to complete time histories and in a probabilistic framework, sliding phenomena when overloading is considered and 3D.

Bond behaviour of FRCM composites experimental tests and analytical models

Author: Sara Barducci I Advisor: Mario De Stefano I Co-advisor: Valerio Alecci, Luisa Rovero I 2018 The bond behaviour of FRCM composites applied on a brick support was investigated through both an experimental and an analytical approach. Four different FRCM composites were experimentally tested using four types of bond tests. In particular, the four composites consisted of the same basalt fibre textile and four types of matrix: • a lime-based matrix produced by Kerakoll S.p.a.; • a lime-based matrix produced in laboratory; • a cement-based matrix produced in laboratory; • a cement-lime-based matrix produced in laboratory. Four types of bond test were carried out on 111 specimens consisting of a brick support reinforced with the composites above described: Single-Shear Test; Double-Shear Test-type A; Double-Shear Test-type B; Beam Test. The experimental campaign allowed: 1. to study the bond behaviour of FRCM composites, identifying those characterized by good bond properties and by a lower variability of the results. In particular, lime-based composites showed higher bond properties; 2. to identify mechanical characteristics that affect the bond behaviour. In particular, an influence of the mechanical properties of the matrix on the bond capacity of the lime-based composites was identified: as the mortar’s strength increased, an increase in the debonding load was matched; 3. to evaluate the different bond tests carried out in terms of procedure and results. In particular, it was possible to conclude that the Single Shear Test is the most reliable type of test for the study of the bond behaviour of FRCM composites. Finally, an analytical approach based on fracture mechanics was applied. Five different cohesive laws were adopted, each of them calibrated by an indirect method. In fact, the unknown parameters of each laws were determined based on the experimental results for each specimens. The five analytical applied load-global slip response were then compared with the experimental ones for each bond tests previously performed. The comparisons allowed identifying the most suitable cohesive law to evaluate the load response of the FRCM composites for each type of bond test.

With the aim of developing seismic risk reduction plans, an assessment of seismic vulnerability must be carried out, together with seismic hazard and exposure evaluation. For existing buildings, the problem arises essentially in the evaluation of the current predisposition to damage and the analysis can diversify depending on the quality and quantity of information that can be acquired in the field. The vulnerability analysis for seismic risk mitigation cannot refer to a deep knowledge of the single building but must be based on territorial or urban contexts and therefore on a plurality of buildings. The analysis, based on masonry building techniques, leads to the definition of damage indexes for each considered building and therefore allow to obtain fragility curves that correlate the seismic intensity to the probability of damage. These curves are useful tools for drawing up lists of intervention priorities, for simulating post-simulation scenarios, and finally for managing emergencies. Both the researches presented below deal with the assessment of the seismic vulnerability of buildings on a territorial scale, but they differ in the typology of examined buildings: Palazzi research aims to study the behavior of monumental buildings, while Stefanini research deals with a historical urban aggregate.

Seismic vulnerability assessment

of unreinforced masonry churches in Central Chile PhD Candidate: Chiara Nuria Palazzi Advisors: Luisa Rovero, Juan Carlos de la Llera - Pontificia Universidad Catolica, RCH Co-advisors: Ugo Tonietti, Cristian Sandoval - Pontificia Universidad Catolica, RCH I 2019 The Chilean Built Heritage underwent extensive structural damage during the 2010 Maule earthquake (Mw 8.8), in particular, unreinforced masonry churches, which highlights the importance of implementing effective retrofit and safety strategies. These religious structures exhibit profound typological and constructive peculiarities, which is wholly unique and manifests the synchronism between Chilean constructive culture and European architectural revivalisms. The peculiarity of this heritage and the high seismic hazard of the Chilean territory motivated the need of defining a systematic method to assess the seismic vulnerability of these monuments. Three representative case studies for each homogeneous group have been identified (San Francisco for neoclassic churches, Basilica del Salvador for Neo-gothic churches, and La Viñita for colonial churches) and their seismic behaviour has been assessed through multi-level structural analyses: • As concerning the Local analyses by damage mechanisms, the linear and non-linear kinematic analyses within the rocking analysis have been carried out; • As concerning the FEM Global analysis, Linear Dynamic Analysis has been carried out. Objectives: Generate a complete database with characteristics of a representative stock of 106 URM churches located in central Chile. Calculate geometrical and simplified safety indexes for the seismic vulnerability. Calculate the average level of damage suffered by each church through the global damage index. Provide Damage Probability Matrices, at both global and local level. Determine Fragility Curves to be used in a risk assessment.

The architectural heritage of Mediterranean cultures at risk of disappearance Perception, protection and sustainable innovation in the case of Northern Morocco

Author (PhD Candidate): Sara Stefanini I Advisor: Luisa Rovero, Ugo Tonietti I 2020 The research project intends to develop a strategy of intervention aimed at the recognition and protection of the Architectural Heritage of the Mediterranean basin consisting of historical centres built in earth or masonry, monuments and vernacular settlements at risk of disappearance under two different typologies of threats: • Environmental threats: earthquakes, floods, climate change; • Cultural threats: loss of knowledge and uncritical affirmation of technological cultures incompatible with previous ones. The need to identify a significant and representative field of investigation of the described processes, but at the same time limited and capable to allow direct investigations and plausible relationships with the context, led to choose the Medina of Fès as the field of application of the study. The choice was made easier by the partnership between the DIDA and the School of Architecture at the Université Euro-Méditerranéenne de Fès (UEMF). Until now, the project was divided into two basic phases. On the one hand it was started a survey on the existing literature. In parallel, we started to build, through field-research activities in the Region of Fès, a knowledge framework on a case study surveying its constructive features and their influence on the structural response. Through the study of the state of the art on seismic vulnerability assessment methods at a territorial scale, together with the analysis of researches carried out on historical settlements of North Africa, the choice of the method to be applied and, in particular, its possible modifications on the basis of the local features, is currently under review. Objectives: Systematization of knowledge concerning the fundamental elements of local tacit cultures. Anthropological assessment of the social perception of values related to conservation and enhancement of heritage as well as to the perception of seismic risk. Determine Vulnerability Curves for different macroseismic intensities. Development of codes of practice for structural reinforcement and protection.

The PhD program, established in 1997 with the XII cycle, is dedicated to Landscape Architecture’s disciplinary profile, whose fields of research refer to the landscape conception of the plans for the territory management and for the protection of restricted assets, even projects for conservation interventions, requalification or transformation of the landscapes. Due to the size of the problems faced and the types of tools referred to them, the program includes a wide variability of study types. The complexity and the spatial-temporal transcalarity of the structures proper to the landscape and its functioning, are the main common characteristics to which has been given priority and constant attention during the two decades of studies produced. This complexity induces a demand for trans-disciplinarity intrinsic to the landscape architecture. For this reason, the college of teachers associates the focal discipline with the natural sciences and agricultural sciences, in a tradition of relationships developed in Florence using a consolidated didactic collaboration with teachers of territorial and urban planning and architecture from University of Florence and other universities.

Open Session on Landscape is a scientific and professional training program, in line with a teaching and research internationalization process linked to many issues of Horizon 2020. It adheres to a common European platform for vocational training (Professional Qualifications Directive (2005 / 36 / EC). The four cycles of international seminars Open Session On Landscape (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) are united by a common thread that bonds all four editions: an invitation to dialogue between Architecture, Territorial Planning and Urban Planning and the innovative design culture of Landscape Architecture, in order to educate “new professionals” to a holistic conception of the contemporary city and to an “integrated” design of urban and peri-urban systems, with particular attention to the role of Art in urban landscape design and in the re-identification processes of places or in participatory processes involving the inhabitants. Contributions, most significant reflections and projects presented in each of the international seminars have been collected in separate publications of the DIDAWorkshop series, called “OPLA’, Ongoing Projects on Landscape Architecture”.

The program focuses on various aspects related to urban and landscape planning and design, with a special attention to the relationship between spatial planning and design, and regional government. It explores methodologies, approaches, policies and tools for the analysis of contemporary regional urban planning processes (bio-regional dynamics, polycentric models, metropolitan and post-metropolitan morphotypologies), and for the construction of integrated and participative strategic scenarios and regional projects. It also carries out an in-depth analysis of environmental questions with a special focus on the ecology of the region and regional policies regarding sustainability. The program fosters a critical approach to planning strategies, inquiring on the multiplicity of interpretations and scientific contributions, from an international perspective that is both comparative and integrated, aimed at finding those strategies that are more adequately adaptable to the local contexts in question. It orients the educational and training processes towards on-field research methodologies, promoting contact with the various stakeholders active in the region. It focuses especially on the following research areas: • The project of the city,with reference to the subjects of public space, the regeneration of the urban fabric, infrastructures and accessibility, the re-qualification of historical centres, the redesigning of suburbs and fringe peri-urban areas, and the relationship between private and public city; • The project of the territory and the landscape, with reference to the “territorialist project”, which is oriented towards ascribing added value to the region through modes of social governance of the territory’s production, understood as a highly complex living sys-

PhD Thesis

Self-Organization and collective management and care of places Author: Chiara Belingardi I Advisors: Daniela Poli I XXVI Cycle I 2014 The thesis explored the concept of Commons in relation to urban spaces. These common spaces can be individuate among the urban places which are self-managed by inhabitants. The thesis had two main objectives: the description of the common urban places and the suggestions of policies to deal with them. The description of commons is done through a list of seven characteristics, resulting by an interdisciplinary survey on the concept of commons, the research about traditional urban commons and the review of study cases at national and international level. These characteristics are: 1. Self-determination: the decisions are in charge of the people. 2. Multifactoriality: it is necessary to take into account more factors together. 3. Care. 4. Self-management. Rules collectively decided in horizontal ways. 5. Use: the adapting of the space depending on the use. 6. Relationships among the community members. 7. Inclusiveness. These characteristics are useful to individuate a particular kind of spaces, called Commonalities. In order to give some idea about the consistence of the commonalities, as they are mainly tiny spaces, a Map of the existing and potential commonalities in the city of Rome was drawn. Finally some policies suggestions were formulated. These were based on the characteristics, on municipal rules dealing with citizens self-organization in public spaces and on the current debate about commons at national level. Commonalities can be places by which start to achieve a real right to the city.

Urban and Regional Planning and Design

Put into circulation (re-cycle) the drosscape Author: Luca Di Figlia I Advisors: Giuseppe De Luca I XXVII Cycle I 2015 PhD Program coordinator Camilla Perrone Scientific Board ICAR 20-ICAR 21 Camilla Perrone Francesco Alberti leonardo Chiesi Giuseppe De Luca David Fanfani Giulio Giovannoni Valeria Lingua Fabio Lucchesi Giancarlo Paba Raffaele Paloscia Daniela Poli Claudio Saragosa Iacopo Zetti Alberto Ziparo

The research is about the urban vacant space (drosscape, brownfield, greyfield, etc.) and the strategies to regenerate them. The thesis explored spatial, economic and social implications of the theme after the changes occurred with the economic crisis of 2008, because the crisis generated new forms of abandonment in the contemporary urban landscape. The research use two keywords: waste and recycle; the complementary notions have been used in the urban dimension to investigate the new geographies of abandonment in the contemporary cities and to analyse the innovative policies and actions of urban re-use which activate new ‘life cycles‘ in lost spaces.

Troubled geographies

The between spaces in post-metropolitan territory Author: Maddalena Rossi I Advisors: Giancarlo Paba I Co-advisors: Camilla Perrone XXVII Cycle I 2015 PhD Program coordinator Camilla Perrone Scientific Board ICAR 20-ICAR 21 Camilla Perrone Francesco Alberti leonardo Chiesi Giuseppe De Luca David Fanfani Giulio Giovannoni Valeria Lingua Fabio Lucchesi Giancarlo Paba raffaele Paloscia Daniela Poli Claudio Saragosa Iacopo Zetti Alberto Ziparo

The contemporary city has undergone profound changes. They are redefining the geography of the borders within and between cities and bringing about the gradual formation, on various levels (physical, political and symbolic) of reality (Calvino 1984), of in-between spaces, undecided and troubled spaces, often unpredictable and sometimes awkward. The research proposes a typological narrative of these in-between spaces aimed at the formulation of new interpretative and lexical categories, which are capable of fixing their nature and particularities, and of requesting specific ‘governance episodes’.

In many European and non-European countries, important changes are taking place in the economic, institutional and planning systems and apparatus. The ongoing transition aims at repositioning the objectives, methods, forms and tools of territorial governance in a context of progressive globalization. The need to realign the institutional levels, the data and the policies to the spatial processes intervened over time, determine the obsolescence of conventional territorial structures and divisions, as well as the need to identify institutional and functional structures more coherent with the renewed economic dynamics to govern the territory in an integrated and multi-scalar perspective. Important changes emerge in the organizational and institutional structures aimed at greater efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy in the governance of the territory in all its aspects, from the management of services to territorial and urban planning, from environmental and economic policies to technological and infrastructure developments. These changes are expressed through rescaling processes in which the large area emerges as the strategic level of territorial restructuring. Research objectives The research unit aims at the dual purpose of 1) activating reflection paths concerning institutional transformations and emerging issues in territories marked by dimensions and dynamics of a large area, and 2) devising project proposals through which it is possible to support the operation administrations and actors who interact in these areas, at all levels. For this purpose, the A.Vast Research Unit assumes the following scientific objectives: • define a theoretical-methodological and instrumental framework of an interdisciplinary and trans-scalar nature for an advanced research on analytical and planning issues related to the territorial dimension of the vast area • to stimulate research and experimental and innovative projects on the issues of the vast area, creating networks with universities and national and international research centres, also in order to participate in national and international calls • interact with institutions and actors involved in the field of vast area planning, through scientific support to concrete processes of programming and planning • define innovative tools for representation and communication of the vast area, which increase both the recognition and the understanding of spatial, functional and economic dynamics that often go beyond administrative boundaries, and the prefiguration of possible futures.

In these years, resilience is assuming an increasing as instrument to check, analyse and improve communities. The resilience is the attitude of a system to recover its functionality after the occurring of a catastrophic event. It moves the focus of the analysis from the integrity of the system to its functionality. To analyse and to measure the functionality of a community, different systems, fields and activities must be faced. The reliability of the buildings has to be evaluated together with the efficiency of the organizational issues, the integrity of the infrastructures, the attitude of people to react and to find a new asset. As a consequence, a meaningful evaluation of the seismic reliability does not involve the seismic engineering only, but requires knowledges regarding economics, statistics, psychology etc. The Research Unit “COmmunities REsilience” (CORE) is aimed at evaluating the resilience of complex urban areas and their sub-systems. This topic, traditionally faced within specific thematic fields, is developing more and more in these years, involving a multi-disciplinary approach. CORE collects researchers of different fields and competences, and it is aimed at creating a multidisciplinary platform for developing resilience projects. Main issues • Multidisciplinary analysis of strategic buildings and setting of procedures aimed at maintenance planning; • Setting of multi-level databases at urban scale with consequent redaction of thematic maps; • Setting of procedures aimed at the evaluation of seismic risk in urban areas and communities; • Seismic risk mitigation of communities.

Small historical settlements (SHS), typical of the EU urban landscape, require specific analysis and management tools. The close link with the morphological and geological aspects of their landscape, the proximity to agricultural land or forestry, the need to adapt their buildings to contemporary housing needs, the relationships with local economic activities, and the development of public-private partnerships are just few aspects that must consider when undertaking their conservation, management, enhancement and promotion. The Research Unit Documentation and Management of Small Historical Settlements aims to promote the knowledge of historical, environmental, social and economic transformation processes of SHS, in order to support project proposals, that may help job of the dedicated administrations. Specifically, the RU deals with the morphometric documentation of the SHS, the creation of virtual urban models (SIUR) that support the governance, the dissemination of the project outcomes, the provision of economic, financial and urban feasibility studies for specific interventions, the provision of commercial and tourism development plans for the promotion and enhancement of cultural heritage, the evaluation of public funding opportunities at various level.

This holding will manage the land adjacent to the historic settlement and the other plots owned by the I.D.S.C. (Diocesan Institute for the Maintenance of the Clergy) of Arezzo-Cortona-Sansepolcro, which are located in the immediate neighbourhood, in the valleys of the Padonchia and Cerfone creeks. The I.D.S.C. will give the Spin Off assets free of charge for the number of years necessary to complete the redevelopment and to achieve the pre-set economic results; subsequently it will guarantee its use at the same Spin Off, behind a previously agreed rent, for a period to be determined.

The early Medieval settlement of Bivignano Arezzo

Scientific Coordinator Alessandro Merlo Agreement details Agreement between Istituto Diocesano per il Sostentamento del Clero and DIDA (rep. 23/2014, prot. 1662 III/19 del 29/04/2014) Research Group Survey and restitution Alessandro Merlo Gaia Lavoratti Andrea Aliperta Marco Corridori Mattia Genuini Giacomo Fabbri Stefano Giusti Isabella Russo Marianna Sangiovanni

In 2014 the Diocesan Institute for the Support of Clergy, owner of the rural settlement of Bivignano (Arezzo), stipulated an agreement with the DIDA in order to realize the digital survey of the entire village and to propose some recovery and re-evaluation formula. The fortified settlement of Bivignano is part of a larger system of castles, developed between the XI and XII century in a minor valley of the Cerfone river, an affluent of the Tiber river. Founded by the family of the Count of Bivignano, the castle has a noble residence (a ‘tower-house’ typology) and the church of Santa Maria (rebuilt in the XVII century on the original early medieval chapel). The rest of the buildings consist of housing and service areas, which have been in use until the mid-seventies. Today the castle is in decline due to the continuous raid it of its architectural elements, easily re-usable elsewhere, which accelerates the processes of weakening. In the last few years, the renewed interest for these scenarios gave the research group the possibility to assess new strategies for the protection and the enhancement of this priceless heritage, as through the introduction of entrepreneurial activities, linked to agriculture.

Palazzo della Missione | Florence Survey and historical analysis

Scientific Coordinator Alessandro Merlo Agreement details Agreement between Città Metropolitana di Firenze and DIDA (rep. 86/2014 del 04/04/2014) Research Group Survey and restitution Alessandro Merlo Gaia Lavoratti Andrea Aliperta Marco Corridori Francesco Frullini Elisa Luzzi History of Architecture Margherita Cricchio Archaeology Antonino Meo

Palazzo della Missione is located in Florence, in Santo Spirito district, whose heart has always been the homonymous church. The building was founded around the 11th century by its original owner, the Frescobaldi family. Over the centuries it underwent many transformations and changes of ownership: today it presents a 17th century Baroque façade, the only one of its kind in Florence. The history of this building is deeply intertwined with that one of the city, firstly because of the existence of an ancient access to the Arno, the “porticciuola d’Arno” now lost, and secondly because of the events related to the construction of the bridge in Santa Trinita, wanted by the Frescobaldi family. The reconstruction of historical-architectural events, based on a detailed morphometric survey, has been possible thanks to the collaboration of DIDA with the Metropolitan City of Florence, the current owner of the building, currently hosting the Machiavelli-Capponi International High School. The combination of historical research and three-dimensional modelling created a video (by the Multimedia Service Centre of the University of Florence) that illustrates, in a new way, the changes and the historical evolution of the Palace.

The agreement between the Municipality of Siena and DIDA, concerning the section of the Sienese walls between Porta Romana and Porta Pispini, measured the morphometry and the apparent colours of the walls, the state of conservation, the survey the existing degradations, and the evaluation of the static behaviour. The survey, conducted in April 2016, had the goal to obtain graphic drawings able to show the geometry of the building, and Orto photos highlighting the phenomena of decay and the state of cracking. The data acquisition has been organized in a way to respect the requests of the Municipality: the acquisition of a point cloud with RGB values and relative graphic restitution, to be developed for both sides and the top part of the walls.

The ELA eu.med Research Unit was established in November 2017 to investigate intersections and connections between landscape architecture and other disciplines. The main objective is to experiment with design methodologies and languages, and with technical, cultural, and operational tools, to take up the challenges of territorial and urban transformation as opportunities to create new landscapes and good places, revitalize neglected spaces and territories, and actively maintain outstanding and historic landscapes. The ELA eu.med Research Unit mainly - but non exclusively – investigates in the Euro-Mediterranean area. The ELA eu.med Research Unit’s mission is to: • activate cross-disciplinary projects involving landscape architecture, art, environmental design, urban and territorial planning, social sciences, natural sciences, ecology, etc.; • foster continual collaboration between the academic world, the public administration, professionals, and civil society so as to increase awareness of landscape value at local, national and international levels; • provide a vehicle for cross-disciplinary research-based exploration of landscape design potential. The ELA eu.med Research Unit works in synergy with Landscape Design Lab and DIDA labs.

Florence Accessibility Lab FAL

Scientific Coordinator Antonio Laurìa Address Palazzo Vegni Via San Niccolò, 93 Firenze Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Diana Babalis Stefano Bertocci Antonio Capestro Stefano Carrer Giuseppe De Luca Luca Giorgi Antonio Laurìa Pietro Matracchi Leonardo Zaffi UNIFI | DIEF Benedetto Allotta Monica Carfagni Lapo Governi UNIFI | DSPS Leonardo Chiesi Giovanni Scotto UNIFI | DISEI Luca Bagnoli Mario Biggeri Mauro Lombardi Pier Angelo Mori UNIFI | SCIFOPSI Lucia Bigozzi Research Fellows and Collaborators Junik Balisha Beatrice Benesperi Fabio Ciaravella Paolo Costa Fabio Valli Luigi Vessella

The Florence Accessibility Lab (FAL) is an Interdepartmental Research Unit that was created in 2013 on the basis of more than two decades of research activity about environmental accessibility and social inclusion. The main goals of the Florence Accessibility Lab are to define, consolidate and promote a design culture that considers accessibility to habitat a great collective resource for the autonomy and the well-being of people, in order to make local communities more dynamic, safe and cohesive, for the valorisation of architectural and landscape heritage, and for the development of advanced technologies for people. In short, for the “Human Development”, as intended by the United Nation Development Programme. The cultural framework of the Florence Accessibility Lab is based on the central role of the human being in the processes of transformation of the habitat and on the necessity that those processes are guided by a deep knowledge of the socio-economical dynamics and by a caring attitude to commons. The Research Unit adopts an interdisciplinary approach and works in a wide range of applied fields, at various levels of scale: from cultural heritage to tourism, from urban security and quality to urban mobility, from objects to street furniture, from home adaptation to public buildings. The Florence Accessibility Lab also promotes and organizes several kinds of advanced education projects (training ad refresher courses, workshops, seminars, summer schools, masters, etc.). Since its creation, the Florence Accessibility Lab has hosted Italian and foreigner scholars, PhD candidates and graduate students that share a research interest on accessibility and disability. At the moment, the Research Unit it is composed of 18 Professors of the University of Florence, belonging to the Departments of Architecture (DIDA), Industrial Engineering (DIEF), Economics and Management (DISEI), Political and Social Sciences (DSPS), and Education and Psychology (SCIFOPSI), and of various other research fellows, collaborators and consultants. The Florence Accessibility Lab was the defining model for other “Accessibility Labs” that were officially created in the Universities of Brescia, Naples (Federico II) and Reggio Calabria and in the Polytechnic University of Turin.

The Dar_Med originated in a group of teachers and researchers of the University of Florence in accordance with the Shared Declaration of 6 July 2015 made by the Ministers of Education of both Morocco and Italy, aimed at launching the École Euro-Méditerranéenne d’Architecture, Design et Urbanisme de Fès, co-created by the Università di Firenze and the Université Euro-Méditerranéenne de Fès. Stemming from this experience, the Unit operates in the Euro-Mediterranean contexts with the purpose of combining knowledge and competencies related to specific fields within a common vision focused on the role in terms of the project of both material and intangible heritage. The activities carried out by the Unit combine themes that are more directly related to the project, such as architecture, design, urban planning and landscape design with those related to the social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology and economy. The adopted approach combines the instances related to the sustainability, safeguarding, recovery and valorisation of the architectural, urban, landscape and material heritage with those concerning innovation, experimentation in the construction of policies, in terms of the architectural project and its settlement principles, as well as in processes linked to material and intangible culture.

The research group plans to develop a scientific profile that covers various branches of the study of architecture, in particular environment, the natural and cultural landscape, open spaces, buildings, gardens, and cultural heritage. The study of themes and systems associated with these categories will help to produce insights and proposals for the practical pursuit of sustainable objectives that take account of well-being and aesthetics in ways that support the cultural development of society. The process of exploration will take place in line with the project’s desire to understand, evaluate and support decision making. The research will use both theoretical and experimental methodologies. It will create new areas of reflection on the principal questions associated with modern life, such as environmental and social sustainability, and on the development of models and good practices that help apply the principles and discoveries to reference scenarios. In greater detail, research processes and their applications will refer to: • Quality of the environment for living and relationship with local communities; • Education, awareness and participation; • Evaluation and decision making; • Consumption of resources; • Evaluation and improvement of decision making processes.

The Research Unit “Landscape, Cultural heritage, Project “, in collaboration with the citizens of Oltrarno, organized since June 2016, at the former Church of Santa Monaca, a cycle of meetings and initiatives dedicated to the study and analysis of Piazza del Carmine in Florence, from which it started a participatory project, calling the ward citizenship to collaborate by the expression of needs and ideas and then realize a project as much as possible shared for the redevelopment of the Square. Characterizes this our work both the plant of scientific nature and the phenomenological analysis. The preliminary part of the study was addressed to the analysis of the various physical, historical, cultural, social and environmental parameters of the San Frediano ward, assumed as physical space and reference territorial element. Then we went to collect and systematize the contributions of ideas that came directly from citizenship. Then with the development of the following elaborations we came to elaborate the final project, of synthesis, of the elaborations of the participatory project. Our goal was to improve the life of the square, in terms of quality, the systems of living and relationship. In a ward, San Frediano, where the residence and functions are in equilibrium. An eco-sustainable, zero-impact square that becomes a model for a more general rethink of urban public spaces. A dedicated square, after years of improper use of it as a parking, social and human relations, with particular attention to the weakest subjects, and with a large space dedicated to nature.

VerSus project Project VerSus is an international research project, financed by Culture 2007-2013 Programme, whose main objective is to gain knowledge from the fundamental principles of vernacular architecture, and to explore new ways of integrating those principles into contemporary sustainable building. The research led to the identification of sustainable strategies and solutions from vernacular architecture, defined on three levels of analysis: the urban-territorial scale, the architectural scale and the technological-constructive scale. These strategies, that have been identified on the basis of a broad comparison between case studies in Europe - and not - of vernacular and contemporary architecture, are analysed, interpreted and evaluated according to the principles of environmental, socio-cultural and socio-economic sustainability defined by the project. Main objectives of the project • to identify fundamental principles of sustainability from vernacular heritage; • to explore ways to integrate those principles into the design of a more appropriate and resilient contemporary architecture; • to improve the recognition of vernacular habitats through the awareness of its values and qualities, focusing on both the heritage aspect and on what it could bring in terms of sustainability; • to disseminate principles, techniques, and solutions of the vernacular heritage, so that they can be adapted to respond to real needs of European societies in terms of culture, identity, quality and environment.

The agricultural landscape of Riudoms, with an area of 32 km2 of gently sloping land and Mediterranean climate in the province of Tarragona, Catalonia (ES), is formed around a system of water mines. This traditional form of water channeling characterized early industrial society: water management regulated the social structure and the relationship with the land in a sustainable way. Heir to an ancient and widespread tradition throughout the Mediterranean, the mine system is not only a technical resource: its use and maintenance involves a complex network of associations that involves the community it serves, and is linked to the technical elements related to the farming system and the landscape matrix. The model of water mines recalls the system of water channeling of the oasis. It consists of a net of underground artificial tunnels designed to transport to the surface the water from the uppermost part of the water table without reducing its level. After reaching the mouth of the mine, the water is distributed through a surface pipeline system to pools where it is stored and from where the irrigation canals of the fields leave. The farmers are organized into irrigation communities in order to collaborate in the construction and maintenance of water mines. Each community has a statute and legal representatives, and every year each community establishes the necessary interventions on the mines, as well as irrigation schedules for the distribution of water among the various agricultural properties, using a system that closes off the water distribution of the surface channels. Today many of these mines are in service, but this does not mean that there are people looking after them. The future of the water mine system and its management has to go through a necessary process of awareness, not only among its users but also among the public in general, in order to recognize its value as an appropriate system for the exploitation of water resources and as a part of the cultural and historical heritage.

The central Nansen Park, covering an area of approximately 200.000 square meters is situated on a peninsula surrounded by the sea and Oslo’s hilly landscape. This great park was designed by Atelier Dreiseitl to give a new strong identity to the Fornebu district by creating a new attractive gathering place for its inhabitants. The park was opened in September 2008 on the liberated area of former Fornebu airport after its closure in 1998. The liberation of the area enabled one of the city’s largest natural park projects along with a redevelopment of this district. A new community has been created through a new master plan, which offers a series of dwellings, services and infrastructures with an ample unifying recreation area in the centre. The project has been developed in a radial form. Seven arms that cross in the core of Nansen Park constitute the mobility network of the area. The width of these radial arms varies from 30 to 100 metres and they reach out in all directions. The control tower and main building of the former Fornebu airport still exist and they constitute the ‘entry point’ of the park. Starting from this point (northern extreme side of the area), a watercourse runs down on the north-south direction through the park and collects the surface water of the surrounding dwelling areas. The canals are set up in order to take the excessive water down to the central lake where it gets purified by biological sand filters to be used in daily activities. The landscape architects, Atelier Dreiseitl, have developed the Nansen Park project within the frame of a strong ecological sensibility and attempted to introduce the element of water not only as a part of a playground or recreational area but also as an element of ecological infrastructure in order to improve the management of storm water and the water quality.

Living & virtual visiting European World Heritage

2016-2020 Creative Europe Programme https://esg. pt/3dpast/ ref.n. 2016-1740/001 -001 Scientific Coordinator Saverio Mecca Research Group Letizia Dipasquale Alessandro Merlo Saverio Mecca Partnership UNIFI | Dipartimento di Architettura, Italie ESG | Escola Superior Gallaecia, Vila Nova de Cerveira, Portugal (Project Leader) UPV | Universitat Politècnica de València, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, Spain

World Heritage sites have an outstanding and exceptional significance for humankind. Living and virtual visiting European World Heritage sites would open the minds of citizens to discover the ‘spirit of place’ and the remarkable vernacular heritage held in Europe. The core idea is to work on the inhabited vernacular dwellings of World Heritage sites, and: • to distinguish and share the experience on how the dwellings are inhabited and physically maintained nowadays; • to define and disseminate site processes, regarding case study buildings and their local building culture historical evolution; • to establish the empirical knowledge; • to develop new interactive ways to transfer knowledge to new audiences, considering creative and technological approaches. Main objectives of the project • To share, with European citizens, vernacular architecture quality and its intangible local know-how, regarding preservation of fabric authenticity and integrity in World Heritage sites; • To explore the inhabited heritage experience through different dimensions; • To interconnect architecture, history and immaterial culture with creativity and technology, in a genuine trans-disciplinary way; • Bring to light vernacular know-how to the new generations through interactive and digital technologies; • To enhance and to preserve the immaterial building culture of WHS in Europe; • To stimulate and to improve the cultural sector regarding heritage knowledge across Europe. Working plan The work will be developed throughout 3 Dimensions: • (D1) Architectural Heritage Dimension – Cultural space of today’s architecture – still existent nowadays. Inhabited vernacular dwellings, entailing a unique legacy that requires maintenance; • (D2) Historical Evolution Dimension – Heritage concerning building techniques and materials that can be tackled historically at the buildings; • (D3) Intangible Heritage Dimension – It concerns immaterial culture of the building techniques in-use, and craftsmen empirical knowledge to maintain the vernacular buildings. The established components are part of the way to value and address the different dimensions: • (C1) Digital Component. Digital interactive communication tools presented. New digital realities for people who can not travel and visit the exceptional and unique heritage of the classified sites; • (C2) Creative Component. Develop creative potential, associated with observation drawing, artistic drawing, photo, video, digital image, etc. for different audiences; • (C3) Communication Component. To communicate the development of the work and the dissemination of the project; • (A) Activities – Development of workshops, publications, apps, digital platform, visualisations, associated with sites classified as European World Heritage.

The ProjECTS Research Unit works, in concert with the LabPSM (Laboratory City and Territory in the countries of the South of the world), within a vision centred on an idea of territory full of natural, constructed and anthropogenic resources sedimented in the time and projected into the future with the aim of raising the quality of living at various scales. Qualifying element is an interdisciplinary experimental research - theoretical, methodological and applied - associated with innovative training processes and aimed at providing adequate responses to emerging needs in cities and territories as a consequence of the negative effects of globalization. The field of intervention privileges the countries of the South of the world in their different components, from the larger and richer BRICS to the poorest and most marginalized regions. In all this different countries we see the accentuation of great poverty and inequality, the widening of megalopolis, the growth of informal settlements, the ever-increasing damage caused by climate change. Research objectives: • stimulate experimental and innovative research on urban, territorial and environmental issues in the countries of the South, creating networks with universities, research centres and international organizations; • develop large-scale projects with an interdisciplinary and international partnership in order to elaborate proposals answering European and international calls; • define a theoretical and methodological framework for an advanced research about informal settlements; • enhance the relationship between local knowledge and global tknowledge and between territorial heritage and human potential, in order to define local projects, expression of different contexts; • outline and activate experimentation paths in order to design new practices in urban and rural areas, placing the participation of the settled communities at the centre; • experiment methods and tools for intervention in areas exposed to environmental and climatic transformations and emergencies; • develop innovative tools for representation and communication in order to increase the participation and awareness of the actors involved in research and design activities.

Urban settlements growth patterns, led by economic overall exogenous development models, progressively weakened mutuality and relationships of “measure” between cities and surrounding regions with heavy social and environmental consequences and, jointly, the loss of quality of the built environment. That entailed a set of problem no more negligible on behalf of urban and regional studies and design domain, especially in the framework of the impact of the “global change” drivers, as, for example, climate changes or urban sprawl. In such a framework the Research Unity draws on bio-regional approach as method of analysis and design innovation suitable to foster policies, plans and projects aimed to human settlements regional “re-embedding” and for the recovery of a co-evolutionary relationship between anthropogenic, eco-systemic and urban domains. Research goals With such goals the Research Unity “Urban Bioregion Project” –especially supporting the LAPEI and “Plans and Project for City and Region” DidaLabs acitvities- adopts a crossdisciplinary and multi-level methodology, aimed to enhance the underpinning and multidimensional role of territorial heritage (Patrimony), and of related “circular economies” stemming, for example, by local energy or agri-food systems or by the urban/rural eco-systems regeneration; as well as a bottom-up approach, that acknowledges and fosters the values of knowledge, skills and envisioning abilities expressed on behalf of places dwellers.

It is becoming increasingly necessary, in academic education and research on urban planning and design, to have a cultural approach in which analytical and interpretational competences match technical and design skills, to correctly understand the issues and address the transformation of space towards a sustainable development of the territory and cities. To answer these questions, SUP&R Research Unit was born integrating diverse skills and competences: analysis of territorial resources; urban, landscape and environmental planning and design on different scales; technological innovation serving the city and the territory. Thematic areas Taking into account the different aspects – environmental, social, economic – of the idea of sustainability, the fields of study the Research Unit are the following: • re-thinking the morphology and uses of the contemporary city (including historic centres); • urban liveability and quality; • the preservation of the historic, cultural, agricultural and landscape heritage; • environmental and energy issues, resilience against climate and social change; • research on the “urban shape”, in relation to sustainability and integration of the issues of the city with the territory; • the role of environmental networks in regenerating urban contexts, both in offering new eco-systems and in redesigning urban fringe areas; • the concept of “smart city” in planning and urban design processes.

Founded in 1997 as a Department of Architecture Design magazine, from the 2/2000 issue, with a new look, with a new management, a renewed scientific committee and editors, the content and issues have been expanded. We have chosen to compare the work of our School of Architecture – theoretical and design research – both with the most relevant contributions from other Italian and foreign Schools and more with projects by some protagonists of contemporary architecture. This was the implicit desire to get back the critical attitude that distinguished, in times not too far, the cultural debate of the best Italian architecture magazines. The magazine became a appreciated tool for promotion, dissemination and comparison in architectural research at the international level. Each FIRENZE ARCHITETTURA issue is monothematic: this feature allows us to welcome, from time to time, interdisciplinary essays related to different areas like aesthetics, art, cinema, with which the world of architecture has always had assonance and references.

Contesti is a journal of the Department of Architecture, University of Florence, Italy. Contesti was the Department of Urban and Regional Planning’s journal from 2007 to 2015. The periodical hosted essays and articles in the various fields of urban studies and planning, gaining an important position among the Italian journals owing to its high-quality papers, openness to the national and international debate, elegance and publication standards. The new series of Contesti, launched in 2016 and organised by the University of Florence Department of Architecture, intends to develop the journal’s important tradition, achieve the highest quality standards, guarantee evaluation of the essays and boost its international outlook. The journal is published by Firenze University Press, which makes sure that quality and scientific standards are met. It is a biannual, free access digital journal. Essays for publication in the journal will be assessed by way of a double-blind peer review. The articles will be published in Italian and in the main international languages (English, French, and Spanish).

The collection Territori is published by Firenze University Press. Territori has been created by initiative of researchers and professors of DIDA, teaching in the Bachelor’s degree course in Urban, regional and landscape planning and the Master’s degree course in Urban and regional planning and design provided by the School of Architecture of the University of Florence and based in Empoli. The two Courses, carried out in cooperation with the Schools of Agriculture and of Engineering, develop in a multidisciplinary way topics related to territorial governance and design, urban policies, regeneration, management of complex projects, tools for the involvement of citizens in decision-making processes. The “Empoli school” approach gives a central role to teaching activities in educating professional figures qualified for elaboration and management of territorial planning tools, in which themes like identity, environment, landscape, territorial and urban heritage, social empowerment, local development are mostly relevant. The collection, counting now 27 published titles, promotes a wide range of documents (essays, researches, projects, seminars, conferences, dissertations, teaching tools) developing such themes, and receives frequent proposals coming from the national and international research scene.

Scienze del Territorio / Territorial Sciences is the journal of the Territorialist Society; it is published in digital and printer version by Firenze University Press, Florence. Mission The journal hosts pioneering studies pointed at enhancing territorial heritage, bringing back together the diverse meanings of places, frequently divided by confined institutional sciences and practices, and proposing transformation projects based on these guidelines. Melting knowledge As an identity code of its scientific method and action, the journal promotes forms of meeting and mediation among theoretical thought, technical and local knowledge. It hosts scientific articles as well as contributions from local communities and institutional actors who share this approach and experiment innovation projects and practices. Between theories and practices The journal is intended as an observatory on innovation practices and a place of theoretical reflection on them, providing information, conceptual and practical tools for active citizenship and institutions engaged in various forms of attention to care and government of territories as common goods. The aim is to foster experience exchange and knowledge dissemination and, in a wider perspective, to trigger continuing education and empowerment, by encouraging and strengthening ways of learning and self-learning which can be catalysed by readings.

Guidebook as tool

A study on contemporary architecture

Scientific Coordinator Laura Andreini Research Group Sara Benzi Maria Giulia Caliri Elena Catalano Giacomo Dati Elena Ronchi Lara Tonnicchi Partnership DIDA Formaedizioni TecnicheNuove

Traveling has always fed knowledge and stimulated the man’s curiosity. The history of architecture tells us about the great masters, citing only some names like Le Corbusier or Giancarlo de Carlo, who have always been fascinated by the journey and the discovery of new cultures, new ways of living and inhabiting. The itinerary of architecture is in fact a knowledge and curiosity tool, allowing the knowledge of a place, of a city or of a larger geographical area, through its works and its selected buildings and therefore the visit so as the direct experience. Florence: a guide to contemporary architecture in a city such as Florence might seem an oxymoron to certain readers. This itinerary is aimed at showing how one of the Italian cities most strongly linked with its past, in fact the quintessential symbol of the Renaissance period, conceals a myriad of innovative architecture. Florence is not a static city. It has often been guilty of long delays and a certain lack of courage in assimilating new approaches, but its way of introducing contemporary architecture into a consolidated context, is unique. Changes with great impact began in Florence at the end of the 19th century with the urban planning transformations designed by Giuseppe Poggi, and the brief but intense period when Florence was the country’s capital city. In the 1930s, the Rationalist design of the Santa Maria Novella Station introduced a new form of architectural expression into the historic centre and outskirts of the city. Furthermore, it is because of the station that we are able to observe the complexity of the city. Suffice to say that in 1935, in a single day, King Vittorio Emanuele II inaugurated two buildings with completely contrasting design styles: the Station and the Central National Library. Still today, the city has difficulty in adopting a single approach or process, this aspect contributes towards creating an interesting diversity, but also a certain degree of confusion.

“Beauty is Italy’s petroleum, the country’s primary export, whether in the form of fashion, furniture and industrial design, or building materials such as ceramics, stone woods and glass. Other than for its stones and ceramics, the beauty that Italy produces does not spring from the ground but from a complex ecosystem ultimately accountable to the country’s matrix of medium-sized family-based enterprises, which have an artisanal capacity that, paradoxically, operates in an industrial context. Open to discussion … the manufacturers willingly modify materials in a hybrid hand-andmachine made industrial process. This unique cultural and fabrication ecosystem, Italy’s economic engine, has long proved a creative testing ground for our research and creativity. Italy’s ecosystem represents an opportunity to reach beyond the drawing and the computer to the production line, where raw materials are transformed into components of construction adapted to the unique circumstances of a building design. It is possible to ask to brick manufacturers make new kinds of bricks: no material, no matter how traditional or humble, was beyond reconsideration and reinvention….. “ (Joseph Giovannini)

Relationships of descent One of the major ways humans have of organizing their world is through genealogy or relations of descent. In theogonies, or tales of the origin of gods, or in legendary lists of human offspring relations of descent and the association of characteristics, territories, and spheres of influence with descendants provide a means of mapping the cosmos and the human world. In traditions concerning animals and plants, relations of descent are most prominent in myths of human origin and in totemic materials.

Atelier Valerio Cerri Valentina Satti Marinella Spagnoli

Ten points (as an introduction) 01 architecture is presence, station of a built form 02 form, morphe kaÏ tò eÏdos, is the rational expression of a thought 03 form is rhythm, structure, of materials 04 one builds because one inhabits 05 architecture is the juncture of grace and necessity 06 architecture is a collective thing, in any case a res publica 07 architecture is a moral system, that is to say une promesse de bonheur 08 architecture actuates the place by rewriting its face and its destiny 09 architecture actuates memory by reorganizing its voice and its meaning 10 architecture actuates the three modes of time but its end - its aim and its termination - is ruin. On San Vito stroll The bridge over the Pianone river separates the medieval village of Cutigliano from the cemetery and from the last houses to the south. From here, after the ancient church of San Bartolomeo, a promenade begins which ends on a small-sized open space called the San Vito hillock. The road, in just under two kilometres, disposes of its urban garb and gradually approximates the rusticity of the mountain path: only a thin shadow between beech and white fir trees. An end closed by an abrupt ascent sanctions the end of the path; here there is a clearing crowned by dense vegetation and marked by the light of the sky, the remains of an oratory and a slender iron cross. The project detects and consolidates the inclinations, the latent inclinations in the place, trying to fix more precisely its most original features. An incision reveals a passage between two dark walls: the extreme offshoot of the journey completed and suspended line of the slope: the construction of a point from which the look of the traveller will slip between the Ximeniana, the torrent of the Lima, the azure profiles of the Apennines.

Sutures Old stone to new building, old timber to new fires T.S. Eliot, East Coker (Four Quartets n. 2), 1940

Without resigning the discussion to a narrow path and the rigidity of terminological orthodoxy or to a universe of obligatory cross references (the organ, the plant, the city as a tree, etc.) Suture/s is understood explicitly here as the will to sew, to repair, to recuperate; it makes manifest a common condition shared by a large portion of European and urban environments (and not only them), that the act of transformation involves places already densely constructed, where it is easy to see a chain of [human] manipulation in excavated layers. The palimpsest of existing obstacles to a romantic ideology of creation, ex-nihilo, invites less ingenuous action and more wariness and consciousness. This immanent, unrepentant presence of the past, determines a strategy that is primarily observed and a study of facts, of the physical and social conditions that give structure to sites. Among the first: orientation, natural light, materials, weavings, temperature, colours, vegetation, the right to a view. Among the second: collective expectations and needs, the social environment, culture, architectonic typologies, technological knowledge and histories. The suture indicates a cure and a recovery (the recover from a sick state) but it is not consolation. In contemporary times, we have lost our way home and the perfection of our origins. This loss is connected to the restoration of Kultur which is definitively broken; not least of all, one can’t possibly find a street that is capable of taking us into a radiant future and palingenetic progress. A successful project constructs a concrete condition from which it has grown, not hiding or worse, erasing the inherent contradictions: similar to the destiny of bios, art sutures produce noble scars.

As such we note a tension and friction between the characters which is the student’s contribution, between the collection of knowledge that the transmission has the task of protecting and preserving in continuity - the inevitable premise of any cognitive process - and the entry of an unexpected/destabilizing sense/sensibility. It is a contrast, a friction, analogous to that created by the same project between the objective conditions found and its horizon of modification, but which unlike the latter is often reduced, masked by overestimated and immediate constraints of identity or academic affiliation. The drafts of this thesis show magisterium and at the same time they measure the possible metamorphoses: suspended between adhesion and flight, obedience and freedom, proximity and distance, they are the most mature and responsible expression of the spirit and of the practice of a design school and the first independent exercise of the future Baumeister. Onde as águias pousam “Em Montemor-o-Novo, o viajante começa por visitar o castelo, que da longe, visto de nascente, parece uma sólida e intacta construção. Mas, por trás das muralhas e das torres desde lado, não há mais do que ruínas.” José Saramago, Viagem a Portugal, 1981

Among the soft undulations of the ground that marks the landscape of Alentejo, on a rise that fractures the monotonous horizon there are the first traces of the city of Montemor-o-novo. The castle, which has been progressively abandoned over the years, contains within its walls the eldest testimonies of the city. In this place full of memories are located the two buildings of the new Cultural Centre arranged along the path that runs from Porta Vila Santarem towards Porta del Anjo. The first part of the building is confused with the ones of nearby convent of Nossa Senhora da Saudação and guides the visitor towards the view of the south; the second presides over the portal of Igreja de Santa Maria and offers itself as an instrument for recomposing the soil and the existing scattered ruins.

Architecture & Project

Designing the archaeological landscape

Scientific Coordinator Riccardo Butini Address Palazzo Vegni via San Niccolò, 93 Firenze Research Group Giulio Basili Giulia Fornai Francesco Girelli Filippo Lisini Baldi

The design project in archaeological areas is stratified by its nature, and invites to a transversal reading of the events that produced that set made of overlapping architectures, different languages and construction techniques, new materials alternate with reused materials to which it has been given the task to save and reiterate a necessary material continuity of man’s work over time. A fragmented landscape that communicates a sense of eternal and temporary together. The difficult task of reconstruction cannot be achieved except through a principle of “transmission” from the old to the new. We can therefore think to continue our delicate work, looking at the contemporary landscape as a collective work, never completed, on which we are called to intervene, to modify it, without and however, conclude it.

The look, the material

Building in the Italian landscape

Scientific Coordinator Riccardo Butini Address Palazzo Vegni via San Niccolò, 93 Firenze Research Group Giulio Basili Giulia Fornai Francesco Girelli Filippo Lisini Baldi

Every time we have to design, falling into the landscape complexity, understood in its urban and rural dimension, we must search through the practice of the gaze and leaning on the rough material of ancient architecture, the traces of an “archaic structure” that still persists, alive and well impressed, working within a certain ancient architecture measure, with the will to make the new rules to join to the old ones,renewing, even in face to the degraded contemporary sensibility, the merger and continuity principle as the only one possible. The research, lead through the design practice and the building experience, identifies the look and the matter as indispensable tools to which the design act should still be intimately linked.

The project in the historical context

Scientific Coordinator Riccardo Butini Address Palazzo Vegni via San Niccolò, 93 Firenze Research Group Giulio Basili Giulia Fornai Francesco Girelli Filippo Lisini Baldi

The architectural design, whether intervenes on an existing system or creates a new one, requires a continuous comparison with the history, with the tradition and the places deepest essence. There, we might believe that the project still resides, and have the ability, updated to our time, to suggest functions and shapes capable to restore the subversive balance, or more precisely to identify new possible others.

Architecture and light, basic principles for designing with daylight

Research Group Simone Barbi

Research published in April 2017 by LetteraVentitdue, in the Italian and English versions, within the LUMINA series conceived and directed by Fabio Capanni.

Publisher LetteraVentidue edizioni s.r.l. Series Lumina First edition Italian version (2017) English version (2017) Partnership Velux s.p.a.

Light is the soul of space, a breath that runs through it and gives it life. It chases the shadows relentlessly in a ritual that makes the passing of time visible. Architecture is, above all else, the implementation of this ritual, which ignites the dialectic between the immobility of space and the dynamic action of light, between the finiteness of the dimensions and the incommensurablity of the natural element, and between the concreteness of the material and the abstraction of the vacuum. This book attempts to outline some basic principles that govern the relationship between daylight and architectural space to place it at the centre of the architect’s work.

Galleria dell’architettura italiana has been, since 2010, opportunity for debate and comparison on themes, places and personalities of the Italian architecture. The Galleria hosts exhibitions dedicated to the most relevant contemporary architects and to some significant interpreters of cinema and photography, such as Andreij Tarkowskij, Luigi Ghirri, Giovanni Chiaramonte. The exhibitions always focuses on the peculiar features of the Italian architecture, even observed from an international perspective. The twelve exhibitions - among which five were organized from 2012 to 2017 - offered the opportunity for a direct critic dialogue with the authors on display.

Andrej Tarkovkij’s houses. Photos and drawings 29 November - 19 December, 2012 Even in Italy, when he decides to build a new house in Roccalbegna, Tuscany, Tarkovskij remembers the Russian House, his mother’s house. A continuous sequence of arches, a consideration on roofs and porches, an almost albertian façade, a tower, elements observed and photographed during his “Viaggio in Italia” shoot before “Nostalghia”, alterating the prevalence of remembrance, grafting it in a new land.

Giovanni Chiaramonte. Lost interior 28 November - 12 Dicember, 2013 Pictures taken by Giovanni Chiaramonte at the destroyed architectures of this land, gave rise to a book and an exhibition. These photographs are the result of a travel to Emilia in the days after the slash, when nothing had been removed yet, nor quickly forgotten, and when the immanence of both life and earthquake was presented in all its truth before vanishing and transforming forever the original features of the land, the original souls of men.

Adolfo Natalini. Drawings 16 - 30 May, 2013 If I look at my drawings after many years they look like they were drawn by different hands. They are traced on different kind of papers, using different techniques. Sometimes they are sketches, or complex illustrations, sometimes they are technical drawings. Every time the hand is heavy or light. Signs are gentle or strong. They switch from the darker graphite to multicoloured watercolours. I spent my whole life drawing in the attempt to understand the world (representing it) in order to change small parts according to needs and desires (designing them). 2

Monestiroli Architetti Associati. Halls 29 May - 11 June, 2014 In Monestiroli’s sacred halls, the correspondence between space and ritual - meant as the movement of the believers and the representation of the Eucharist - results in a subtle typological contamination that assimilates the hall to a theatre. This one, even more than a temple, can be considered the place of the community, where the “human” and the “real”, which are peculiar themes of Monestiroli’s poetics, sublimate towards the drama.

Proposal of CASADELLARNO (an exhibition area realised during 2014 inside the Centro Visite at the Piazzale del Re in the historical Parco delle Cascine in Florence), an interactive museum that hosts stories, projects, researches with the aim of disseminating knowledge on the river, so to recover an active relationship with it and to propose projects based on the river as a urban structural system which can be implemented over time. The exhibition is based on four thematic areas – The river and the city, The river and the territory, The Arno’s tales, Water precious resource - that allow to explore the river through videos, interactive installations and posters. SHARING. Interaction and sharing activities involving public and private actors, local authorities, stakeholders, citizens and experts. A platform to discuss ideas and proposals on how to build a state of the art on the Arno in order to broaden the existing knowledge and promote a renovation process for the river adopting an organic and shared perspective. PROJECT. Activities carried out by the Architecture Department of the University of Florence from 2004 to 2017, deepening the vocation of the Arno river both as a place to be regenerated and a generator of relations between the city and its territory.

KNOWLEDGE The river and the city This section collects historical, environmental, scientific, artistic and cultural informations which can be implemented over time. The section is introduced by a conceptual video on CASADELLARNO, starting from a cognitive route of the Arno river as related to Florence’s urban settlement and its many features. The river and the territory The focus of this section is on the river course from its source on Monte Falterona, on the tosco-romagnolo Apennine, to its mouth located at Marina di Pisa, in the Ligure sea, through the provinces of Arezzo, Firenze e Pisa along 241 Km. The Arno’s tales This section allows an immersive dive in the exploration of the river-related issues. Videos are used to tell stories and suggestions about the river, proposing new visions and narratives on the genius loci and offering brand new ideas on the infrastructure. Water precious resource It is the interactive section. A touchscreen allows to customize informations about the river as an integrated infrastructure, in order to promote a water culture that conceives water as a precious resource and to educate to its the correct use.

Il “progetto del patrimonio – Heritage Design” is the title of a three-year research started in 2016 and ending in 2018. It investigates issues regarding urban/architectural heritage enhancement, both material and non-material, with the purpose to highlight possible methodological frameworks able to picture new relationships among historical contexts, contemporary project and community. The research is structured through the detailed study of thematic channels defined by two main conceptual couples, complementary and interdependent: MEMORY AND CITY – this section deals with the recovery, enhancement and regeneration of spaces, places and architectures in historical contexts with the purpose of elaborating an operative/methodological framework for the promotion of the territory through strategies that, between resource renewal and reinvention, between memory and future perspective, will shape a proper and unique urban situation for venues considered, enhancing their attractiveness and competitiveness on a global scale and their architectural-environmental recovery on a local scale. Keywords: stratification and memory, innovation and tradition, historical centres. EPHEMERAL AND CITY – this section deals with “temporary” projects, highlighting, with regard to the city, a different perspective on urban spaces and providing a new cross-cutting perspective within a field – that of architectural and urban design - that is usually concerned with permanent structures rather than with temporary ones. This theme focuses on the possible theoretical and operational perspectives that, although generated in a transitory way, can intersect with material and non-material heritage, prefiguring new and possible perspectives on a permanent urban tissue. Keywords: Ephemeral project, Contemporary architecture, Urban acupuncture The research has been carried out with regard to specific contexts through protocol agreements, program agreements, Conventions and Research grants signed by public and private Institutions. It has elaborated projects through Design Laboratories, seminars, workshops and theses. It has been disseminated through conferences, exhibitions and publications. Keywords: Heritage, UNESCO, Urban Design, Architectural design

Cultura del Progetto Urbano – Culture of Urban Design is the title of an Academic Research carried out during the 2013/2015 three-year period that, building on and developing previous researches, investigates the relationship between some of the main urban systems (settlement systems, mobility systems, naturalistic systems) and inhabited environment, with the purpose of figuring and outlining visions and strategies for the contemporary city in its many aspects, and of building new possible scenarios for the community. The Research is developed through specific thematic channels, defined by three main binomial terms, complementary and interdependent: ARCHITECTURE AND CITY - includes themes concerning the identification of new architectural functional and semantic categories in relationship with the environment. Keywords: contamination, hybridisation, urban fabric, emergence. NATURE AND CITY - includes themes concerning natural systems at different scales in relationship with the city and its territory. Keywords: ecological culture, sustainability, natural and artificial ecosystem. INFRASTRUCTURE AND CITY - includes themes concerning the role of infrastructure in urban renewal, starting from the assumption that these may generate new urban realities for the contemporary city and trigger new strategic urban forms. Keywords: innovation, speed, continuity, fluidity, rhythm, dynamism. The research has been carried out in specific contexts through Protocol agreements, Program agreements, Agreements and Research grants signed in partnership with private and public Institutions. Projects have been elaborated through design laboratories, thematic seminars, workshops and theses. It has been disseminated through conferences, exhibitions and publications.

Reconstructing the Cambel’s Yalı and Estate at Bosporus Bosphorus University/UNIFI Archaeology, History of Architecture and Cultural Heritage 2011/2016 Agreement + Research and pilot project in cooperation UNIFI with Bosphorus University - (Bebek, Istanbul)

We like to imagine that this place was the Sultan’s gardener’s garden. One of many terraced gardens along the Bosphorus, stretching to climb on the steep slopes and surrounded by terraced walls. The architecture is here made of thick walls that time has swallowed as part of the leisurely homes that since the end of the XVII century have been sprawling east to expand the city of Byzantium-Constantinople-Istanbul. The ground climbs up a steep ridge, dotted with terraces and dry, retaining walls, niches, fountains, two-people benches to lose yourself staring at the sun setting towards Marmara, and again, water tanks, right after the ancient stream coming from the woods, right before the stream follows its natural seaward course. Walls, like made by the farmers, in the way before architects took the stage: Greek walls, Byzantine walls, Ottoman walls, all according the nature of this place, and never against it. Stepped walls placed orthogonally from the slope, closed by a large stone slab in the same material to preserve them from cracking in the frost. These gardens are sometimes public spaces, mesire, spaces that belong to the landscape and are not private, but find a reason to be in serving no other function that the collective beauty of this place, which is open to visitors lost among the terraces, gazing in awe at the other shore while tiny, rust-coloured ships glide back and forth. In the amidst, water and its peacock-green hue in sunny spring days or molten lead in the winter.

Tarsus-Gözlükule Heritage Walk and Exhibit Bosphorus University/UNIFI Archaeology, History of Architecture and Cultural Heritage 2011/2016 Agreement + Research and pilot project in cooperation UNIFI with Bosphorus University - (Bebek, Istanbul)

Tarsus Gözlükule is the hill above Tarsus. The hill so far has turned its back to the city now becomes our point of arrival. The project takes the visitor by the hand from St. Paul’s Basilica or the Arch of Cleopatra to gradually lead them to leave the crowded, thickly built city to reach a plethora of small objects, a master wall and an ancient tomb (turbe), a rough, yet clearly marked track, a grove of eucalypti and the canopy of maritime pines. A floor made of large stone slabs, connecting into one another as Pikionis had done for the Acropolis, supports the gait from its point of origin, a small fountain. The work ahead of

us to restore the alliance between the city and the site is still long. Gradually, then, sketching standpoints and listening to contour lines in the freshly dug soil recently moved by the archaeologists from the Bosphorus University led by Asli Özyar, to understand, more than ever, that a town is not only a for-the-tourists set-up showcase. In this way we sought to let re-discover the beloved Gözlükule, the hill overlooking the city, as the place where to seek some evening fresh air, chasing the wind from the not far away sea.

Houses for the human cities

Research Social Housing in Europe (2014/2017 Agreement + Research project in cooperation UniFi with Unitec/Auckland New Zealand) In our work, anticipations of future use and appropriation of ancient solutions live side by side. The house is a tool, perfected through use over the course of time, but it is also the mirror of the transformations of daily life. We are not talking about stylistic exercises nor about oddities which have, unfortunately, often accompanied the building of low-cost housing, masking a dearth of ideas about dwelling with beautician’s make-up. We are presenting projects worked on houses as living spaces trying to establish a practical ideal and, at the same time, interpreting the changes in the use of spaces. Once the public spaces of the city, the piazzas and streets, were more beautiful than the houses of ordinary people while only the houses of the nobility were always exceptional. Now everyone wants a piece of that beauty for themselves. The projects illustrate those cases where this beauty isn’t to be found in a nicely tiled bathroom designed by a famous fashion stylist, but rather in the richness of the spaces, with their capacity to give light, air and well-being; in order to allow children to grow up safely, in a calm and protected environment. In the specific case of Western Europe, the relationship between public places and home is a gradation of collective, semi-collective, common, semi-private and also private spaces. A narrow alley, an ever-open door which still acts as a threshold, a paved courtyard, a garden, a pergola giving shade, a lobby, a few steps, a vestibule; these are the architectural elements (sometimes types) through which the complex filter that takes us from the city to the house expresses itself. The richness, and often the charm, of these houses is in their capacity to find ‘spaces to be’ and not only ‘spaces to go to’ in all the elements of connection and relationship. The richness of these houses is often in the glance from a window out over the splendours of the city or of the unspoilt countryside. The richness of these houses is in searching for forms of living which are compatible with the contemporary city, but also reminiscent of a slower pace of life which recognizes and acknowledges places, which gives the feeling of hope and that natural aspiration towards a better life for oneself and one’s children and yet which does not forget the past toils of our ancestors. Adriano Olivetti called it La città dell’Uomo (1959). The future city is an idea, a dream, a plan which does not cancel the preceding city but should adds, repairs, corrects and continue with it.

Like in the stone of the Alps sunken battleships, just before WW1 the Austro-Hungarian empire built a fortresses’ crown on the southern border to prevent the former allied Italy invading Tyrol. We started the refurbishment of these sites at the end of the 90’s and realized the most of the projects in the last years, using - among others - European co-financing programmes Leader II targeted to improve cultural exploitation and tourism in the mountain’s rural areas (projects several times awarded and published). All these works were commissioned by the Autonomous Province of Trento and several local municipalities, in the Italian speaking Südtirol, along the former border between the two States. Originally built for the war, now in peacetime these places had the chance of an overall landscape refurbishment, connecting the land’s military transformations due to immediate tactical needs with a long lasting experience of the men who lived here anyway, who since thousand years established settlements, slowly fitting environment and nature to agriculture. Back to the nature scenarios took finally place of barbed wires and mined battlefields. Once not to be seen and well camouflaged strong points to watch troops and artillery moving on the opposite side of the trenches, now spectacular point de vue toward the surrounding landscape. In this way the ancient fortresses become to new “machines à voire (le paysage)”.

Held on the occasion of the birth centenary of the Florentine architect, between 2012 and 2013, the research had the objective to deepen the figure of Edoardo Detti in its various components, as an architect and planner in the first place, but also as a man of culture, the protagonist of strenuous political and civil battles in defence of the landscape, a prominent figure in the debate over transformation of Florence. The first phase of the study consisted in inventory and cataloguing Detti’s archive; next phase was the scientific organization of a number of initiatives aiming at documenting and promoting the knowledge Edoardo Detti’s huge theoretical and practical activity in its various fields of intervention. Given the uniqueness of the figure, in its complex role as architect, academic professor, man of culture, politician and public administrator, many Institutions (such as Soprintendenza archivistica per la Toscana) were involved as partners, promoters and funders. The project gave rise to the following initiatives: a two-day conference, with a critical and interpretive address on the figure and work of Edoardo Detti; an exhibition focused mainly on Detti’s architectural works, based on the rich archive documentation; a documentary film aimed at rendering Detti’s biography and its various aspects; the exhibition catalogue; the publication of the inventory of Detti’s archive.

This project is the result of the synergy between the University of Florence and the Government Commissioner for Reconstruction that with the Extraordinary Program for the schools has given the responsibility to some universities for the design of 21 school buildings located in the areas affected by the earthquake. This activity has been an example of integrated planning carried out following the restrictive guidelines imposed by the commission procedures to create a building able to meet the requirements of safety, durability and sustainability according to the high standards for school buildings provided by the guidelines, in addition to the prediction of the viability of the intervention in 100 days. The design represents a court building, reminiscent of the nearby archaeological excavations of the Roman villa on the Via Flaminia, and proposes a further solution in the configurational choice of independent modules, no longer arranged in a linear way as in previous research about schools, now around a central courtyard under a slab made by steel for economy of workmanship and production times. The planimetric system is purified, by necessity, of translations and rotations that would have made the realization more complex and onerous. This choice concentrates all the dynamics in an extremely simplified system in which the obsessive repetition of the planimetric and volumetric conditions, according to a synchronous code, determines spatiality with an almost domestic lexical character. Nothing more than three independent elements: a basement, some stereotomic blocks and a flat covering. Above the unitary podium and under the large steel roof, therefore, independent functional modules will be built using steel-frame techniques that respond to the complex needs of teaching, gathering around a large protected courtyard for outdoor activities. Spaces are organized in such a way as to allow children to procure diversified information autonomously through unconventional methods, as dictated by contemporary pedagogical methods. A deliberately simple building that, however, is able to enclose and regulate precise typological solutions with cutting-edge technical expedients.

RE_WRITE, BUILD WITH THE SOIL AND IN THE GROUND Every Italian city, every place, is only the stratifications palimpsest deposited by the succession of ideals and needs that re-write the sense and the face with a continuity that builds their own polymorphous individuality. The stratifications, temporal and physical at the same time, which made those places unique, poses the problem of the design in the ancient city; in archaeological areas, in the abandoned villages. Every modification on which we work is the occasion of a metaphorical excavation, where history and traces become the substance for new ideas, following the ancient wisdom of “continuing the existing”. This relationship with ARCHAEOLOGY reveals itself to be the basement of the architecture nature, in its most important historical passages, from Piranesi to Alberti. At ISTANBUL Sinan completes and builds new aqueducts: scenes of landscape transformation. The MaglovaKemer, is the protagonist of the project, metaphor of the city suspended between east and west. Notes and pauses mark the mathematical rhythm of architecture that is revealed in SECTION: geometric shapes re-draw the ridges of the Kemerburgaz hills. CASTELNUOVO, in MONTEFELTRO, yesterday boundary between ancient ducats, today meeting point between hills and the coast. The acropolis, the church without a roof, the abandoned houses are suspended in space and time, ruins whose section is a scene of a broken past, ruins whose plan draws new archaeologies.

Building with soil in the ground

The red lands of Asni and the clays of Urbino

Scientific Coordinator Maria Grazia Eccheli Collaborators Eleonora Cecconi Alessandro Cossu Debora Giorgi Irene Magni Elena Migliorini Alberto Pireddu Alessia Romani

406

In Marrakech, as in the very poor houses in ASNI, the IMPLUVIUM distributes, illuminates and gives ventilation to the house, and changing its size, dictates the measures of the rooms, whose indifference to the functions is the charm of the rooms of our ancient buildings; in the Spanish or Pompeii houses. Going along the road to ASNI, you could meet mountains crossed by canyons, old villages, red as the land around them. The design comes out by the cob, between ancient measures and atmospheres of contemporary living, channelling water between inhabited walls. The innumerable squares enclosed by the walls (roof-terrace) give back an archaeological image almost, where short shadows swap with black holes of different sizes. In Urbino, the oxymoron city/palace, summarizes the secret of a single architecture, guardian of centuries-old stratifications. The invisible layout of the Roman walls guides and unify the distribution of the three new courtyards, in the area enclosed by the medieval walls the building sinks into a UNDERGROUND WORLD - of the city and of the Francesco di Giorgio’s treaty. A theatrical hollow, located between the Poggio and the San Donato hill - inhabited by the Volponi’s brik-kiln ruins – that’s the area chosen for the project. For that HOLLOW THAT LOOKS and is LOOKED the issue is to put on the scene the nature… to continue the construction in the ground… the EXEMPLUM is in the city of Urbino. The architecture tools are THE DIG / THE LIGHT / THE SHADOW / THE GROUND / THE CONCRETE. And the INFINITE.

The reconstruction of the Berlin Castle

Scientific Coordinators Maria Grazia Eccheli Riccardo Campagnola Silvia Malcovati Michele Caja Collaborators Michelangelo Pivetta Luca Barontini Alessandro Cossu

408

The competition design project for the re-construction determinates a complex relationship between HISTORY, MEMORY and PROJECT. The Berlin Castle: a CASE of demolition more ideological than a result of war, replaced by the Palace of the Republic in turn demolished. The announcement, for the elevations, obliged the WHERE IT WAS / HOW IT WAS: this is why our design traces almost the steps of the city’s architecture according to the inextricable relationship with the Altes Museum colonnade/gallery from the perspective of the Unter der Linden as well. Once again the double courtyard, the age-old dialectic between OLD/NEW is declined in the UN-FINISHED way: an evocative, almost, emptying brought out by zenithal lights that cross the section. About the historical relationship with the Sprea river, the new MUSEUM goes deeper in the monumental connection between Neuer Marstall and the Dome, proposing once again THE WATER DOOR, the well-known historical Castle and the baroque Schluter’s courtyard origin. Forms stolen from the famous, never realized, project of the Reichsbank of MIES van der ROHE, become pure volumes that arise from the water and regress the measures of the ancient Castle ruins. The idea of the “stone mask” is founding: a ROAD/THEATRE inhabited by the immense surviving statues, a promenade that unites parts of the ISLAND OF MUSEUMS according to the Altes Museum steady scene. This is an almost unmodifiable relationship – perhaps “the ultimate reason for the necessity of the (new) Castle” - inscribed in the forms of the Schinkel’s museum, according to which the dimensions of the one originate the measurements of the other.

Scientific Coordinator and Project Fabio Fabbrizzi Project Coordinator Giacomo Fondelli Collaborators Tommaso Romani Jacqueline Pernici Contribution of Franco Cardini David Cassuto Cecilia M. Roberta Luschi Andrea Ricci Francesco Taormina Guido Vannini Yair Varon

In its delicate religious crossroads, with its reflections of political issues which here assume the size of a more physical than moral fact, and in its division of its unity, Jerusalem is a city capable of carrying the strength of a remote spatiality whose traces become one with the re-worked topography over time from architecture. There is an underlayer which has had the force of various moments of conquest overlapping on top of it, transforming it, over the centuries, with regards to its topological fortuity of a living organism. Within this teeming vagueness, we can catch sight of “fires” of urban recognizability. This is a city where the perspective is absent, where a glimpse is a conquest, where everything is not announced but “found” in its compactness of an absorbing mass – with some rare and impressive exceptions- every emergence within a uniform body, where empty space are nothing more than its subtractions. This city, made of walls: Walls that protect and limit, yet also walls that are lived, that open and offer themselves to us. Walls that close but that also guide. Impenetrable walls yet welcoming walls, walls that mark the perimeter of the city and walls that carry on into the landscape. Walls that brush the ground and that offer themselves as overlapping traces of past times to bear witness to the ancient visions of the world. With these walls and the theme of mass, in which Jerusalem stands out as the main figure, we have here the four projects developed within the presented research. In particular, the study and research areas of the project are actually found opposite the Western Wall, then the Givati area there are the ruins probably belonging to the Palace of Queen Helena of Adiabene, then the small parallel valley on the western part of the city walls and finally, the area of the Pool of Siloam, found at the foot of the City of David The intent is to establish dialogues and relationships, interpreting themes, materials, geometries and measurements from them in such a way as to sensitively insert themselves within the evolutionary flow of the city; yet, at the same time, declaring their necessary modernity. It is, in fact, as if the imagined architectures were the levers capable of bringing back order to the stratification of the extraordinary contexts for which they were projected, by simply re-focusing on the different places in an overall circling, capable of distancing itself from that inevitable oblivion where every historical and archaeological memory is destined, unless it is placed inside a general refurbishing system of its senses and meanings. fabio fabbrizzi

Calenzano

Community space

Scientific Coordinator and Project Fabio Fabbrizzi

Calenzano is a town with nearly 18,000 residents near the city of Florence and has been the object of a vast process of urban growth in the last decade. The administration has shown, time and again, great care and sensitivity in projects and in the management of the territorial spaces, thus showing a rare attention to the quality of constructed architecture. Upon these assumptions we find a fruitful collaborative rapport with the DIDA that has resulted in two distinct Research Agreements whose themes include investigation, studies and research on two areas destined to the community. They are feasibility studies relative to a Centre of Multifunctional Services inside the Parco del Neto and for the new Primary School for Calenzano. In both research agreements, work has been approached by appealing to the synergy of specific expertise, assisted by young collaborators involved who are scholarship recipients. This romantic park contains an unexpected and thriving nature nestled between the city and surrounding hill. There is a definite need to give this place an architecture that will serve the various activities which take place there but are only some of the ingredients at the base of the first project course chosen which has led to a series of hypothesis regarding localizations and formalizations. It is from these hypothesis that the possible vision of a sensitive architecture in a natural context has arisen, whose sustainability is tied to different compositional, technological and finished material choices At the basis of the second project, on the other hand, we find different hypothesis of localization in the territory, whose analysis has resulted in the choice of a plot of land found between a compact built environment yet integrated within a pre-existing school complex. Moreover, there is a need to give the school a multipurpose space that can function as an autonomous place and be independent from the school functions, together with further consideration regarding the themes of passive bioclimatics of the architectonic shape. These elements have led to the start of this project, attained by different formal hypothesis which are all focused on idea of a school as a “children’s home”, in other words, a place to study, socialize and get to know one another.

Project for the new Via dei Fori Imperiali in Rome

Gaite Collaborators Vicente Bellosta Edoardo Solito Consultants Alessandra Muntoni | History of Architecture

The main idea of this project proposal is rethinking the actual area of Fori Imperiali, from a simple archaeological portion to a part of the city that needs to be revitalised. For this reason, the interested area is supposed to be brought back to its condition of an urban portion, permeable to fluxes that come from the surrounding city. The entire archaeological level is thought as a “stone garden”, no longer just enjoyed visually from above, thanks to the recovery of the unitary character and the orthogonal geometry of the Forum. To underline the unitary wholeness of the structure and the various archaeological episodes in the Forum, currently Via dei Fori Imperiali and via Alessandrina are eliminated. However, in order not to lose its historical memory, new temporary structures will be dislocated along the traces of the Forums; their different heights will enhance the presence/absence of via dei Fori Imperiali without blocking the direct view from Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum. Pursuing the idea of a “stone garden”, the Forums will be accessible from the street level and all the fragments, now scattered in a romantic configuration, will be reallocated in specific structure that we can denominate “archaeological cabinets”. These entities, realized with removable metal structures and grill surfaces that protect and safeguard, classify and show the stone fragments dislocated on the site, and will be positioned on the outer limit of each Forum, reiterating the geometry and integrating with the archaeological existences. A new abstracted geometrical structure indicates the Auditorium di Adriano in Madonna di Loreto’s place. The central space is made by a temporary textile-similar covering, realised with zinc elements organized in a catenary; this structure enhances the idea of “object inside the object”. A nodal point for the entire project is located among the wall of Basilica di Massenzio and the wall that sustains the Velia hill. Here, the interventions build the connection between the city and the system of Fori, the Roman and the Imperial ones, providing a new pavilion for expositions that links together the metro station access, the archaeological area and hosts the Forma Urbis, the ancient stone plant of Rome. At the street level, in the area between Basilica di Massenzio and the new museum, the access to Fori Imperiali will be guaranteed thanks to a ramp, meanwhile, another ramp traces the external semi-circular wall of Basilica di Massenzio and leads to the internal space of the Basilica, resulting in new access to Foro Romano.

Thesis of Architecture

Tutor Flaviano Maria Lorusso

Designing means thinking, acting, expressing on the border: it is a border problem. Effect of the most authentic desiring ability of a society, a culture, an individual, it implies and pursues the giving shape to the transformative attitude. Design involves an epiphany, an apparition, even a utopia. The project can only be a limit place, it can only happen on the limit: temporal, conceptual, expressive. It can only inhabit, by its literal nature, the border line, the margin: between ideas, forms, techniques, between real and possible, between what it was said and what it might be said, between constituted and configurable, between memory and future. The project is a tension towards overcoming the reality, through the irruption of a possible and unprecedented reality. It is displacement, test and expansion of the limit, art of anticipation, of mutation. In the city, always the greatest of the works of art. The thesis of architecture is inherently field and exploratory wording: it is a shape of research.

Earthen architecture can fully satisfy a series of functions, performances and aesthetic concerns. The efficiency of the material and of the technical and constructive historical know-how can be taken into consideration today to offer an adequate answer to the pressing needs for sustainable building strategies. A new central role that ratifies both its unexpected technological modernity and its responsible and innovative compositive and linguistic-formal updating. The interpretative passage from traditional building uses and con-figurative results to the new possibilities for technical manipulation and as technological-structural support permits defining new horizons for architectural creation. A central role in the contemporary landscape, marked by specific implications in environmental terms, but also of formal investigation: terra nova, not in-tended as a return to the picturesque or the vernacular, or as rétro nostalgia, but rather as a different repetition, paradoxical cultural and practical territory of another present, which is just as efficient and poetic.

International Workshop on Industrial Heritage

INTERSCHOOL INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP Partnership UNIFI | DIDA Florence, Italy Flaviano Maria Lorusso VUT FA Brno, Czech Republic Helena Zemankova ENSA Nancy, France Cristian François Jennifer Didelon HTW Saar Saarbrücken, Germany Klaus Dieter Köehler

Re-FACT is the name assigned by partner universities to their long-time experience of international workshops on the recovery of industrial heritage in the broader context of urban regeneration, with the intention to renew their commitment and shared path for their research. The purpose of Re-FACT is to strengthen the international partnership extending the scientific debate and confrontation, and to structure with unitary character the didactic experiences of the past and the future research activities in a constantly evolving organic project. Indeed, the activity of Re-FACT extends to multiple didactic and research activities, such as master thesis initiated by the annual workshops, or its link to the individual research of the participating teachers. The name Re-FACT is the result of a brainstorm on the major research objectives, more than ever up-to-date in a scenario of necessary methodological reflections on historical and cultural, social-economical and environmental sustainability of any urban and architectural development. It is therefore the synthesis of terms such as re-use, re-functionalise or re-activate, but also re-design in order to re-admire.

Cemeteries

Scientific Coordinator Alberto Manfredini Address Santa Teresa via della Mattonaia, 14 Firenze Research Group Sara Romano Giovanni Manfredini Andrea Manfredini

The architecture of the city (a cemetery is the city of the dead) is for the long duration. His language must avoid fads. And even more so in a cemetery, where the concept of long duration is measured with the concept of eternity. The design of a cemetery structure can not ignore some symbolic and figurative values, able to signify the timelessness linked to the concept of eternity. It is a simple and rational project in which the order is expressed through the measure. PUBLICATIONS A.

First of all Architecture has to be a rational construction. A construction in which “every element is in its place and whose interconnections obey the laws of reason”. This also happens with the use of equal, fixed and repeated elements able to identify the identity of the architectural complex with tools and spatial organizations typical of the architecture of all times, also through a unitary constructive process that metaphorically recalls the primordial act of edification.

Urban renewal in historic centres

The architecture of contemporaneity, in a historical context, is a “memory of the past” and an “omen of the future”. It must use the economy of technical and expressive means (the only possible condition in contemporary society), it must be “timeless architecture” (which always seems to have existed), must be in continuity with the city and carefully read the context.

In this work architectural design is intended as a cognitive path that traces back the history of places, resulting in a process of assimilation of the local architectural features. Design of a rural building in Bagnolo di Sopra, Montemurlo (PO) Published in Identità dell’architettura italiana XIII, Diabasis, Parma 2015. The design rereads features and figures of the Tuscan rural architecture, whose examples are still numerous in this land. The building has a rectangular plan and is formed by a passing space and a great “hall”. The façade is achieved by the mandolato technique with special 30 x60 cm bricks – pianelle – vertically arranged in order to gain an optimal light and, at the same time, to reduce the wall thickness. The brick weft is set back from the stone wall box, to determine a lodge and highlight the peculiar nature of the various constructive elements.

House in ZhangGuanTun (China) Published in Identità dell’architettura italiana XIV, Diabasis, Parma 2016. The house continues a row of other houses whose type, dimensions, material and building techniques the new building recalls. The lot has a rectangular shape: along one side there is the volume of the actual house, along the other sides there is a two meter wide gallery-library. The entrance – a portal on the wall down the alley- leads to the library, which is not linked to the house but symbolically carries out the function of a traditional yingbi, the apotropaic wall beyond the entrance. The next space is a courtyard where is a jujube tree. Finally the house is arranged around a central living room.

Building memory

Both architecture and memory are the result of a continuous swing between an immaterial and a material dimension: consciousness and the gray matter for memory, concept and construction for architecture. But between architecture and memory also exists a close relationship of mutual dependence: on one hand the ability to persist over time allows architecture to be the guardian of memory, on the other hand the need to remember, and memory that is the effect, are factors of significance for architecture.

The Italian way to Modernity

Scientific Coordinator Francesca Mugnai

The research on Italian Architecture of 20th century aims at investigating the compositional processes underlying the site-specific architectural design. The ability to dialogue with the “classic” - and broadly with the “ancient” - is known to be a feature of Italian architects and sometimes is identified as a “complex”. The Italian way to Modernity consists in a laic rationalism that considers architectural design a link between the past and the future. Within the limits marked by the constitutive and permanent rules of architecture, modern Italian architects reach the transgression not by means of a mere invention, but searching for the reason of things. A bourgeois retreat. The houses at Arzachena by Marco Zanuso, «Firenze Architettura», n. 1, 2015, pp. 82-89. The image of the squat shapes on the seashore, the thick granite walls and the great gate - more like a fortress than a house - evokes an archaic and fabulous world of shepherds with their flocks, of sorceresses and shipwrecked sailors. With the explosive force of deja-vu (meant truly as psychological phenomenon), Zanuso’s landscape represents the Mediterranean Homeric myth. In this synthesis, built into the Arzachena’s houses, we can actually recognise an image that we have never seen, not in Sardinia, nor anywhere else. Nevertheless it appears familiar because it is able to encapsulate - in a modern way - centuries and layers of our History.

About masters and pupils. Le Corbusier lessons in the work of Edoardo Detti «Firenze Architettura», n. 2, 2015, pp. 70-79. Contrary to his lack of passion towards the elusive urban utopias, regardless of who has fathered them2, for Detti, Le Corbusier’s volumes, forms, spaces and complex organisms represent the expression of a difficult and precarious balance between the ideal and reality. Detti writes in his notes: “the whole architectural practice of Le Corbusier, from the small house to the villa (…) from students’ accommodations, to the apartment buildings, are details of a vast system to which the architect contributes, stone after stone, to construct with rationalism. Neither his coherence, nor his stubborn loyalty to its principles, prevent [the architect] from constantly controlling and adjusting to bring the ideal concepts into reality”.

A margin for Genoa. The residential area of Forte Quezzi by Luigi Carlo Daneri «Firenze Architettura», n. 1, 2016, pp. 44-49. Due to its “experimental” nature, the fascinating solution proposed by Daneri, may not be particularly reassuring, not for the common inhabitant nor for contemporary architects, yet it has the undeniable force and courage of the idea, understood as the expression of a deep reflection on the city and its constant transformation. An important lesson for our era as well, which on the one hand has forsaken planning for the suburbs, and on the other has chosen, as Gregotti points out, “the provisional nature and the mutating calligraphy as values, as well as the abandonment of every dialogue with the design of the city and its history”.

Classicism in a room. The Salone della Vittoria at the 6th Milan Triennale «Firenze Architettura», n. 2, 2016, pp. 50-57. The last of Edoardo Persico’s known works, the Salone della Vittoria (Victory Hall) for the 6th Milan Triennale of 1936, may be considered as the architectural testament of the Neapolitan critic and graphic artist before the Fascist regime’s turn toward Academicism. A testament not only because the Salone was inaugurated after Persico’s death, but because it outlines with programmatic force the features of an Italian Rationalism which looks at Europe through the filter of Classical tradition.

Taras Abitare la CittĂ Vecchia

In Taranto is even more evident than anywhere else the piercing step of the different conditions of urbanity, where to a compact city, perspective, medieval/renaissance, built in a continuum of overlapping and concretion, from the Greek to the modern era, has opposed a anti-perspective city, widespread, de-hierarchized that consists of satellites, banlieue, over the edge that if in a modernist time could have something heroic for social and formal aspirations projected towards a new type of city dweller, now, devoid of geometries implementation which have given rise, have become an abandoned and border territory. Rethinking the Old City, the great ill, has not only a value of social emancipation possible through the tools of architecture, but also acquires the value of the symbol towards a restoration of some healthy identity values that society too abruptly wanted abandon in a race to the bottom in a single thought. Contrary to what may seem it is not a problem of housing density but rather of housing identity. The choice of places, shared with the owner Administration of the same ones, as of the large part of the island (maybe that’s another issue), has undergone a long series of tests and questions in the field that have emphasized how people there want to finally become inhabitants. The image of a city that can evolve without increasing its volume suggests the need for action to fill and consolidate the structure, drawing on these new built structures all the strains able to propagate an idea of architecture newly and proudly considered the centre of the urban phenomenon. The hypothesis of giving rise to new realities of life dedicated to socializing, tourism and temporarily living students, has produced design experiences with deliberately powerful and evocative character. On this track born the idea of objects made to be able to meet the needs of daily life playing their role of tools for work, teach, live, show the arts and welcome tourism in its most recent forms of informality. A public gym, a theatre, a place to create and exhibit art, places for study, for collective and transversal education, may be the real answers, minimal and simple, to the questions that this city has. This new architectural apparatus should aspire to be items for discussion, cells of a beneficial virus which, inoculated into the urban texture of the Old City, should propagate a new perspective on the opportunity to interact with it, according to new rules based on the quality of living and the sense of appearance that this community has to find in the architecture forms of which are the expression.

Bacchus is known to be an insidious god. The rituals dedicated to him for someone, usually, did not end well. The dynamics of the land east of Verona, compressed between the Pre-Alps and Lake Garda, carved by the wound of the Adige, communicate a healthy resistance of the farmer to open the oak doors of his cellar and spread the secrets of his work. He has nothing to hide but the wine he produces is the fruit of his land, his work, the ancient wisdom of his families. There is an acute sense of ownership linked to the sense of roots among those who make wine for passion as well as for work. In Valpolicella the cellars are hundreds years old and are the caveau where the purest part of their bond with the land and the stone that built them is collected; the substance of everything. These aspects have found a way to channel into critical thinking, becoming the basis for this architectural design. The cellar designed is the result of a work whose project is only the last offshoot, it summarizes an ideal position of architecture in its broad comparison with the themes of industry and territory, settlement and landscape, agricultural work and its proud manifestation. The cellar, the productive part, is only a trick to talk about something else, to show off not only itself as too often happens. The design aims to be the tool through which to tell millennia of wine culture and stone excavation, modification of the natural landscape in agricultural landscape, human work on a context that from the agricultural and quarries built the Arena traces have made a true archaeologies. What emerges in the end is just another wall, another among many others, made of the same stone that was always quarried but built according to new rules of technology. Next, by necessity, to the discourse of non-form. This wall is not substructure of earth like its progenitors but container; temple of the peculiar art of the withering of the berries. A functional transit as for the gestation of Bacchus, from the womb of Semel to the leg of Jupiter, from the land of the vine to the stone of the building. Architecture needs to express itself through opportunities for dialogue with the elements that determine its boundaries, whatever nature they are made, because only in this way it is able to tell, like in this case, true and great stories.

Brunelleschi’s legacy in Giovanni Michelucci’s sacred architecture

Scientific Coordinator Francesca Privitera Address San Niccolò via San Niccolò, 87 Firenze

The classic expression of Filippo Brunelleschi’s sacred architecture, and the expressionist one of the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Campi Bisenzio (1960–1964) and of the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Consolation in Borgo Maggiore (1961–1967) by Giovanni Michelucci (1891-1990) are joined in a vision of the sacred which transcends the confines of architecture and spreads beyond, pervading the world. This interpretation of a sacred space reminds us of Michelucci’s critical reading of Brunelleschi’s work, brought together in the book “Brunelleschi Mago” (1972) (“Brunelleschi as a Magician”). In Michelucci’s interpretation, Brunelleschi’s sacred architecture shows the intimate relationship between Man and Nature, postulated in the Christian concept of Creation, thereby expressing its own spirituality, though keeping Man and his action in history as its measuring rod. Brunelleschi’s legacy, as expressed in Michelucci, is the meaning of “Christian humanism,” which substantiates itself in the design of a Sacred Space in which the centrality of Man and transcendence are reconciled. The study uses direct written and iconographic sources, including unpublished sources: Giovanni Michelucci Foundation Fiesole. PUBLICATIONS F.

Mannerism’s legacy in Leonardo Savioli’s architecture

Scientific Coordinator Francesca Privitera Address San Niccolò via San Niccolò, 87 Firenze

This study takes off from suggestions by Bruno Zevi and Giulio Carlo Argan that some expressions of Leonardo Savioli (1917-1982) post-war work can be linked to a Mannerist approach. The first part of the study investigates the origins of this approach and identifies it in his early years. Biographical elements are intertwined with studies on 16th-century architecture and painting that Savioli pursued at the time through sketches, drawings, and readings. The second part of the study suggests why and how these interests re-emerged ten years later. Historical and critical studies on Mannerism published in the 1960s, including by Arnold Hauser (1964) and Manfredo Tafuri (1966) serve as a counterpoint to the compositional interpretation of some of Savioli’s works. From the Flower Market (1949) to the House on Piagentina Street (1964), we find many co-existing aspects of 16th-century Mannerism emerging with increasing strength, including a conflictual relationship with history, revolt against imposed rules and cannons, a cross-pollination between different, often contrasting forms of expression, and turbulent experimentalism seeking complex spatial and compositional solutions. The study uses direct written and iconographic sources, including unpublished sources: State Archives of Florence, Leonardo Savioli collection; Region of Tuscany libraries and archives, Leonardo Savioli book collection.

Roberto Berardi’s studies on the Medina of Tunis

Scientific Coordinator Francesca Privitera Address San Niccolò, via San Niccolò, 87 Firenze

Through archival research, we were able to build an unprecedented portrait of Roberto Berardi (1937-2008), an architect and scholar of Arab-Muslim cities. The study focused on the years Berardi spent in Tunis, first at the Bureau Quaroni De Carlo (1964-1968), and then as director of the Atelier d’Urbanisme (1968-1969) at the Association Sauvegarde de la Medina (ASM). For ASM, Berardi made the first systematic study of the historical centre of Tunis and formulated an original method for analysing urban space in an Islamic setting. Berardi’s architectural-urbanistic analysis was powerfully multidisciplinary, balancing between urban sociology and anthropology. The foundation of his analytical method, structural in orientation, was influenced first by Michel Foucault’s philosophical perspectives and then by Pierre Bourdieu’s ethno-sociological studies. The study was an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the conservation, improvement, transformation, and design of Arab-Muslim cities. Its publication was the first in the “Études Euro-Méditerranéennes” series from DIDAPRESS. The study uses unpublished iconographic and written sources: Archives of the Library of Technological Sciences-Architecture, University of Florence, Roberto Berardi collection.

The research started in 2011 with a funded book and continue now with an agreement (Dida-Firenze Fiera 2016) on preliminaries studies for the construction of the new Rastriglia pavilion and the reorganization of open spaces inside Fortezza da Basso in Florence. The research has two main topics: exhibition space, (its evolution and distributive features) and typology (museum and the fair architecture). The research focus now on the relationship between architecture and city (design competitions) and project design (preliminary studies for the Rastriglia Fortezza da Basso pavilion and partial realization inside the Piaggio Museum, Pontedera). It has also been the subject of didactic paths (Laboratory of Recovery in the SSBAA; Architecture Structural Design Lab iCad) as well as Degree Theses (Museum of the Knowledge, Chandigarh, New Bauhaus Museum Dessau, New Architecture Museum Budapest, New music Museum Budapest, New City Museum Copenhagen). The results of the research are partially published on a monograph (2011), exhibited in exhibitions (2015) and awarded (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017).

works, the section on non-ferrous metals stand. This is the last work of Gropius in Germany before moving to England, and it is characterized by the qualities of interior design very innovative, which take advantage of the capabilities of plastic materials present in the exhibition. The environment is delimited by a curve that joins floor and ceiling, which, placed on a platform, presents the various types of non-ferrous metal, bent and lit to make intriguing game that is developed by the rhythm of their combinations. Interesting then it is a plastic composition of a circle extruded through a continuous spiral coil, all the while metal. The amazingly intuition of the brilliant of German architect is to have understood the potential of the product to be displayed so as to make it not only participates in the project but the main element around which revolves the whole composition. The Italian situation is set in Milan as a reference. To the trade fair, in fact, the city gives spaces since the beginning of the century on a large area dedicated to exhibits. Firenze, thanks to the figure of Alessandro Pavolini, mayor of the city, sees opening (in the late twenties) a positive cultural season with some events that are still going on today like the Maggio Musicale and the Fiera dell’Artigianato. Gherardo Bosio, a brilliant architect and engineer, was first to design an exhibition center for the city, to be placed at the Cascine park along the river Arno. The proposed course is too expensive and the organization prefers to have plans for the pavilions of the Fiera dell’Artigianato, (which takes place together with S. Guarnieri,

renderlo, non solo partecipe del progetto ma elemento principale attorno a cui tutta la composizione ruota. La situazione italiana vede Milano come riferimento principale per le fiere campionarie, la città infatti si dota fin dagli inizi del secolo di una vasta area dedicata alle mostre. Firenze grazie alla figura di Alessandro Pavolini, podestà della città, vede aprirsi sul finire degli anni venti, una florida stagione culturale da cui sbocciano iniziative che vedono ad oggi una continuità ininterrotta quali, il Maggio Musicale e la Fiera dell’Artigianato. Gherardo Bosio, ingegnere ed architetto fiorentino, per primo si trova a progettare un centro espositivo per la città, da collocarsi all’ingresso delle Cascine lo storico parco lungo il fiume Arno. La proposta evidentemente risulta troppo dispendiosa e gli vengono affidati i progetti per i padiglioni della Mostra dell’Artigianato, (che svolge insieme a S.Guarnieri, P.N.Berardi e G.Michelucci) al Parterre di Porta San Gallo.7 Pensati come provvisori i padiglioni rimangono per tutti gli anni trenta ed ospitano altre occasioni fieristiche, in cui lo stesso Bosio avrà occasione di allestire. La Triennale di Milano, organizzata da Gio Ponti, trova invece sua collocazione stabile all’interno del Palazzo dell’Arte di G.Muzio, inaugurato per l’occasione nel 1933. L’immenso contenitore rispecchia le caratteristiche ideate in occasione del Crystal Palace, fornendo alla esposizione la possibilità logica di essere allestita ai lati dei percorsi centrali, illuminati dall’alto, e segna un profondo cambio di rotta nella poetica muziana, passata ad un forte accento novecentista ad una razionalità mediata dalla presenza di archi e di strutture in vista. Sono da notare in ambito milanese, gli allestimenti di un altra figura di riferimento per l’architettura italiana, Franco Albini. Albini, formatosi a contatto con Ponti, che lo invia a Barcellona durante la realizzazione del padiglione italiano, ed a contatto con l’ambiente di casabella negli anni trenta, ha la possibilità di lavorare sia nel campo dell’allestimento che dell’interio design, alla triennale di Monza come in quella milanese ed in altre occasioni. Per il progetto della mostra dell’oreficeria in seno alla VI Triennale milanese, lo spazio viene traguardato da leggere strutture verticali

Architecture & Project

Italian Architecture of the XXth century Gherardo Bosio

Scientific Coordinator Riccardo Renzi

The research on Gherardo Bosio was born in the doctorate (architectural and urban design XXII° cycle) and has been carried out to highlight one of the most important figures of the Florentine school of architecture in the period between the two world wars. The research was based primarily on the role of the architectural project and its multi-level declination in relation to the linguistic characteristics of the moment in which Gherardo Bosio expressed himself through theoretical writings, projects and realizations. The results of the research are collected in monographs (2010, 2016), publications of unpublished sources (2012), conference proceedings (2011, 2014), presented in conferences and conferences (2011, 2014, 2016, 2017), exhibitions (2014, 2017) and information systems of Mibact (2017). The research on Bosio has also allowed the definition of new areas of investigation on the Florentine school (collaboration agreement between DIDA and Gabinetto Vieusseux for the study of the design work of the architect Ferdinando Poggi).

Social housing

Italian roots and contemporary approach to the project

Scientific Coordinator Riccardo Renzi Collaborators Elena Ceccarelli Alessandra Marchetti

The research on social housing, started from an agreement between DIDA and the municipality of Calenzano in 2011 (renewed in 2015). The subject of the research was redevelopment of social housing neighbourhoods. The research was carried out between the theoretical profile (the search for characters and invariants that allowed a series of readings on the heritage built in Italy after the second post-war period) and design effects (preliminary studies for the replacement project of social residential buildings in Calenzano; to design competitions on the topic, involvement of the Design and Development Thesis Labs on the topic). The research also produced two books (2013 and 2017), a conference dedicated to the first results (2014), two participations at international conferences (2016), two essays on collective volumes (2012, 2014), an article in a class magazine A (2016) and other articles in scientific journals. In addition, two articles in the magazine in class A (2018) are going to be published. PUBLICATIONS R.

della stessa in relazione alle dinamiche urbane. A Roma lo conferma Mario Fiorentino con il Corviale. A questa scala, che dopo le esperienze dell’abitare sociale tornerà ad essere la scala usuale del progetto architettonico, corrisponde una adesione a parametri dettati in alcuni casi dalle soluzioni tecnologiche, avvicinando il panorama tecnico italiano a particolari impieghi di materiali semilavorati o prefabbricati. E allora in questa fase il progetto architettonico diviene meno spontaneo, Corviale, risente forse troppo del processo di standardizzazione adottato divenendone prigioniero. Puntando l’attenzione sulla trasformazione dell’architettura in urbanistica e non viceversa il progetto tende a modificare la propria condizione linguistica per favorire ciò che agli albori del fenomeno la guida di Libera cercava di esorcizzare, ossia la monotonia creata dalla ripetizione degli elementi che compongono gli edifici nei loro prospetti24. Ma è grazie al progetto d’architettura che nel tempo muta i suoi riferimenti, le sue influenze, la sua dimensione che il panorama linguistico e tipologico che l’abitare sociale in Italia si caratterizza. Indipendentemente dalla singola realizzazione i caratteri distintivi dell’edilizia sociale emergono con forza e permettono la creazione di un insieme collettivo delle esperienze seppur così distinte fra di loro geograficamente. Il fenomeno nella sua globalità si distacca dalla gestione politica per assumere identità propria e soluzioni operative solo determinate dalle gesta e dalle ricerche di quegli attori, principali, che ne hanno nel tempo gestito l’andamento attraverso realizzazioni sul territorio e progetti di ricerca25.

The main objective of our research project was to find a possible compositive evolution of some Christian religious spaces, focusing on both their functional aspects and their historical representative figures. This research means an important first experimental phase in which it’s possible to find a common point between the new religious needs and the ancient traditions through a metamorphosis process of contemporary. The project is the centre of the research: it’s not just an instrument of work, but it becomes the union centre of each figurative inventions that concur to create a unique and recognizable formal dimension. For this reason the project idea is to work on real architecture episodes, represented here by some concurs of new churches and religious centres.

ABITARE SOCIALE is an interdisciplinary research funded by the Region of Tuscany, whose outcome consists in the identification of good practices among those that contribute to urban rehabilitation and regeneration, to soil conservation, to the form and functionality of urban space, to environmental equilibrium and eco-sustainability, to the richness of in-between spaces, to the search for architectural quality, to the creation of a social equilibrium and an ideal of community, to the endowment of privacy, to the living dignity, to the positive management after construction. The published guidelines, main result of this research, avoid the usual rigid regulatory or performance approach and are instead proposed as a useful suggestion, analogy, reference, design model, acting on a more intuitive plan and thematic elaboration, typical of any design approach. An example Social Housing Via Cenni Milan First prize winner entry to an international design competition. The principles of social architecture, eco-district and smart-city are all contained in this experimental and innovative project: green roofs, responsible community, pedestrian zones, integration of the various urban functions, green space equipment and centrality, environmentally friendly materials; in particular, the cross laminated wooden load-bearing panels were used, making them the largest and highest building in Europe, realized with this innovative wood technology that has allowed a 50% reduction in construction time and at the same cost of building traditional residential buildings.

A line of research concerns theoretical thought on the fundamentals of architectural design, which has led to an updating of its contents and methods, it has led to the creation of a grammar and syntactic system based on a hermeneutic vision and a linguistic approach. The new and urgent environmental and sustainability issues are an occasion to enrich this figurative heritage of architecture and urban space, they stimulate a work on the settlement, spatial, functional and formal elements of architectural organisms and urban systems, they introduce a new interdisciplinary approach to research and design. In addition to theoretical studies, projects and above all the numerous competitions have been a remarkable test of these studies. Participation in University Research: “ABITARE MEDITERRANEO” Scholarships: N. 6 First Prize Design Competition Entries: • Multifunctional building for sports facilities in Gambassi Terme (Florence) • Scientific library and two Agricultural school departments for Udine University • Social Housing settlement in Milan – via Cenni “Una comunità per crescere” (“A growth community”) with wood structure towers • Sports and multifunctional halls in Majano (Udine) • Primary School in Poggibonsi (Siena) An example First Prize Winner Entry in International Design Competition for a Primary School Like a shell, the school welcomes, protects the children, but is divided into two parts that look at each other. In that void rises the landscape, a hill rises and looks towards the Fortress and the city. Greenery and environment occupy the centre of this school: they are a metaphor for context and environmental awareness. Thus, agorà is internal and external, transforms the staircase into a rampant square, creates different, stimulating relationships and visuals, always expanding in the core garden. It is a vector of belonging. Wood, terracotta and colours derive from the historical context and its traditions of work, but dry assembling, passive systems, geothermal energy, water recovery, domotics, renewable energy systems create a sustainable organism that also has an educational value. School and Civic Centre are separate and open to the city. In the educational spaces, shapes, buffers, furniture and an equipped wall create adaptable areas for different activities/groups: an inclusive school.

The decades-long research on methods and techniques of urban design updates the tradition of Italian type-morphology studies, they come out enriched thanks to a humanizing and phenomenological interpretation. Its founding principles are conceived in public and urban space, in-between spaces, urban types, thresholds, public/private domains, interaction schemes, environmental relations: they are tools for understanding urban places and are continuously tested in projects and above all in design competitions. The rehabilitation of deprived areas, the regeneration of central areas, main urban axes entering urban neighborhoods, the new urban natural areas and for leisure time, have become a field of experimental studies also through collaborations with local councils, numerous design competitions, and in classes at the University, besides in Master of Territory Government and Master on the Smart City. Urban studies carried out for local Administrations • Urban design for the development and resettlement of Viale Adua and Viale Fermi areas in Pistoia • Awareness and project analysis of some architectural and urban aspects for detailed plan drafting of Serravalle Pistoiese, Castellina and Vinacciano centres in Pistoia • Drafting of the urban design guidelines for new building areas in Orbetello • Urban studies for the new port area of Talamone • Urban project for a sector of the central area of Cintolese fraction (Monsummano – Pistoia) • Urban regeneration of big hospital complexes areas Urban Design Competitions - First Prize Winner Entries • New Civic centre along with the City Hall, Chamber of Commerce and public square in Grosseto • New Arezzo Province headquarters • Public park, houses and facilities throughout the rehabilitation of the ex juvenile prison of Pesaro • Social Housing settlement in Milan – via Cenni “Una comunità per crescere” (“A growth community”) • New Livorno Hospital • Isolotto Square in Firenze • Rehabilitation of the San Gallo ex Military Hospital area in the historical center of Florence First Prize Winner Entry for the Rehabilitation of ex-Ospedale Militare San Gallo Area in the Historic Centre of Florence: The morphology of the complex outlines some long-lasting elements along via San Gallo and a system of spaces along via Cavour amid a historical and continuously re-organized pattern. Via Cavour was abruptly introduced in the middle of nineteenth century, interrupting the delicate morphological and spatial system of San Gallo neighbourhood and gardens: it was a cut of modernity that helps measuring the distance from historical city. The concept design interprets the “cut” theme as a spatial instrument to reconnect places and masses, it reopens a few city passages and courts, but it is above all a way to compare historical buildings to our nowadays condition: the comparison enhances its identity. The project envisages a system of spatial reconnections (paths, courts, places) between via Cavour and via San Gallo and a physical system of cuts (new blocks), occupying the recent, weak and poor parts of the complex: their modernity gives value to pre-existing places, they reflect and enhance surrounding architecture.

Progettando Edifici Considerazioni sul progetto di architettura come arte della tecnica

The refurbishment of the existing building stock is a key point in the related economic policies, in Italy and in Europe. To make this strategy sustainable it is necessary to go through new research path on the renewal themes, as well as architectural grafts and architectural assets development. Every contemporary city prioritizes urban development politics entailing conversion, refurbishment, energy saving measures. The new performances of the existing building stock should reflect the spontaneous vocation of transforming city and the resulting adaptation of the city itself to new behaviours. Acting in urban contexts requires attentive assessment, precision and balance. The copious real estate market technological innovations make available a wide design options/strategies range. The architectural design research investigates real opportunities of balanced, subtle and clear architectural graft actions, undertaken to answer to the contemporary cities’ need of transformation.

The community-house topic relates to an heterogeneous set of typologies, starting from the ancient model of the certosa up to the contemporary student housing and nursing homes for the elderly people. The community-house, then, represents the architectural typology which entails the coexistence of different level of life, such as the most private of the individual spaces and the collective and community ones, in order to realise a gradual range from that of the housing units individual autonomy, up to the opening feature and multifunctionality of those addressed to group activities and to the other communities outside.

Understanding by Design

Scientific Coordinator Carlo Terpolilli

“Understanding by Design” is a specific research strategy in which design thinking and practical experimentation are fully part of the methodological design of the inquisition processes. Complex urban phenomena can be understood and analysed through construction of synthetic models of meta-design, which break down complex phenomena into parts by reconstructing the possible interrelations between them. The conceptualizations of the hypotheses defined can be made tangible and verified with design experimentation.

“The architecture of the past and that of the present are not opposed to one another but on a par, resembling each other in the fundamental conditions through which they have been produced”. With these words Ignaci de Solà Morales introduces the architectural work of Giorgio Grassi, focusing on projects which pursue a clear continuity with historical buildings or locations. Not just restorations neither just new designs, those works by Grassi represents the peculiarities of our Italian architectural culture at its best. Likewise we consider the relationship between our cultural heritage, architecture design and restoration projects as integral components of architectural practice, in which interest in the cultural, site-specific and material aspects is central. This research has been conducted over the specific case study of the expansion of the Civic Archaeological Museum of Camaiore. Enlarged with a new underground level, the Archaeological Museum interiors have been totally redesigned integrating new contemporary materials and forms into the preserved features of the 16th century fully restored palazzo. As a further step a 15.000€ worth research agreement has been set up between the city of Camaiore and our Department in order to start the digital survey of the ruined castle of Montecastrese and the production of a series of touchable models for blind visitors based on such digital data then included in the museum display.

The Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering at Kagoshima University, Japan, has been working on preservation of local architectural heritage for many years. Kyushu island and Kagoshima prefecture are particularly rich of traditional homes indeed, mostly set in progressively abandoned countryside villages. An important architectural patrimony condemned to decay and oblivion since the status of protected cultural asset is not very easy to get in Japan. Lack of preservation laws, high costs of maintenance and prohibitively expensive inheritance taxes induce the owners to sell their homes to developers rather than to restore and protect them. This architecture design workshop developed together with Kagoshima University colleagues has sought effective solutions to correct this apparently relentless process introducing a new vision for the economical redevelopment of such regions. The village of Koyama, in the Kimotsuki area, has been the first case study. Three undergraduate students and one PhD student from our Department have worked with four Master class ones from KU to design a possible reuse for an old dismissed railway line. The proposal imagines the former infrastructure as a new bicycle path linking the village to Kanoya city and to the regional public transformation system. Conceived as the pivotal element of the new linear park, Koyama finds through a series of punctual interventions of restorations and architecture projects a new image and a new life.

Conceptually fluctuating in the uncertain territory where Far Eastern and European identities can meet, this house is the built outcome of a research based on the comparative study of two important building traditions. As Bernard Rudowsky sustained in the 1938 February issue of Domus, the ideal home is the combination of the Italian and Japanese architecture. According to this statement this project explores the possibility of an ‘Italian’ mass produced low cost house for the Japanese market, built with a namely traditional anti-seismic wood structure walled with sandwich wood panels: a combination offering a thickness of ten centimetres only. The research has been further developed through the analysis of a series of iconic examples of houses built and designed by Japanese and European architects during the first years of the 20th century. The book Promessa del Dorico (Dida Press, 2017) exposes such series of case studies focusing on a theoretical design approach conceiving simplicity (wabi in Japanese) as the keyword for a sustainable contemporary building strategy.

The coastline forms an unusual cityscape: because it is linear, developing and outlining an unstable fringe of land, caressed and disputed by the sea; because it offers the ambiguous precarity of bathing facilities on one side of the shoreline and the fixed bulk of residential buildings on the other; because it is a frenetic city in one part of the year – summer – and abandoned in the other, winter; it doesn’t have many inhabitants but mainly just guests; and it undergoes seasonal renewal with rites and rituals to set the stage for the holiday scene. A road, the promenade, traces a cleft between that which appears and that which remains, between the city of sand and of stone, the space of spontaneity and the place of representation, nature and the attempt to dominate it. This work follows an almost unbroken route along the Italian coastline, in search of the hidden signs of an improvised city, the ‘sand city’: it could be the raw material for an imminent and singular city, or the discarded material of an accelerated and wasteful moment of development. The ‘seafront linearity’ forms an indefinite, densely built-up space, as the edge of adjacent historical towns and centre of new conurbations. This is how it appears, as a form of landscape unto itself. ‘Sand cities’ are often disputed territories: by the sea, in the case of the beaches; by the regimental and imprisoned rivers in the Riviera; by the cliffs, by the ports and the marine, maritime and production activities; by the abandoned countryside, the coastal scrub and pine-woods; by the imperturbable masses of the railways and roads. Natural beaches are mobile, unstable. Shorefront ‘cultivation’ has taught to consolidate them, defend them from erosion, level them out, removing their shape, in practice denaturing them. The work starts with a historical examination of the birth and establishment of seaside customs, and the success of the pioneering resorts, to then make considerations prompted by the geographical dimensions assumed today by the coast’s exploitation for holiday purposes. An analysis of the layouts of the seaside towns - the few planned ones and the many spontaneous ones – leads to a series of considerations on how, in nearly the same settlement conditions, the most varied urban solutions have been reached, making the different stretches recognisable upon closer examination. In architectural terms, we can also consider the singular features of the building designs, especially those traditionally found along the seafront, such as the children’s summer camps or colonies, spas, hotels and residences, guest-houses and villas… as

oblivious components of an exceptional linear landscape. As its cross-section varies, the very promenade itself, a sort of vehicular road that mainly becomes a piazza/pedestrian route, the spatial interface between the buildings and the beach, provides many cues for observation on its scenographic implications and environmental connotations. Lastly, it is also interesting to investigate the logics with which the beach establishments, seen as urban micro-organisms, are set out and built, and also to look at their design, making a figurative analysis of the elements of beach furniture, in particular the cabins and huts. These are the ‘miniatures’ of a hidden city where we find a smaller version of the somatic traits of the consolidated urban organisms, and the same manner of depiction. This is above all a synthesis of a very long photographic project which followed the line of Italy’s seaside towns for over twenty years, in the intent to grasp their significance for our times as well as the distinctive features of the single places passed through. Looking from the sea towards the urbanised front-line and from this towards the blue horizon, from Trieste to Pescara, with some gaps along the way, to other stretches of the Mediterranean.

The settlement of P.T.E., the Multifunctional Centre to serve the Nautical and Technological District of North-East Sardinia, situated on a stretch of coastline north of the Gulf of Olbia, forces us to think about what kind of relationship could be established between the architecture and surrounding environment, strongly characterized on an urbanistic and landscape level. The extension of the productive area denotes the hard strokes of the intensive anthropisation of the land, in one of the most beautiful and evocative places found in the Gulf. This undefined stretch of coast is the only one to be left undeveloped in the area and this is because it still evokes the original natural landscape. The rigorous and elementary geometry of the industrial area defines the rules of the various buildings as an inevitable emanation in perfect harmony. The buildings are designed with the same logic “box” of the urbanity production, made up of many hangers, but this volumetric preserves a partial integrity of what there once was before. The disposition of the buildings is also influenced by the irregular and indented coastline and by the will to define a visual screen against industrial settlements and buildings, and to produce a purifier around the new complex. A distinguishing characteristic that involves the entire architecture marks the uniqueness and rarity of this project: a large blue canopy, suspended in the sky, hovering and resting on buildings, setting the whole complex in a unitary gesture, otherwise fragmented. It is simultaneously a dividing line and threshold, giving evidence to the area of transition between the city and the industrial-technological trade fair grounds, between the city’s architecture and the nature of the sea, between the shadows and the light. It is the path that connects everything and everyone, in an unmistakable way, from one extreme to another where the two entrances can be found. It’s an introductory episode, as the doorway and threshold, because it descends to the ground at each end, emphasizing the “brackets”, the exceptional nature of this settlement, the “window”, from which we can look into and see out of it, depending on ones point of view.

The 2012 earthquake in Emilia has affected the city’s urban fabric by altering the relationship between full and empty spaces: demolitions have revealed the relationship between unexpected parts, while unedited areas have acquired a strategic value for delocalisation of parts of the city, triggering a reversal of value between full and empty spaces, inside and out of the city. New construction or simple reconstruction works alone will never solve the problem of regeneration of affected centres: so, in 2014, the Region has established the Organic Plans and Area Special Programs. The ancient model of urban square has been taken over many urban centres affected by 2012 earthquake in Emilia as the main occasion for the revival of cities and communities, envisaging unpublished scenarios and urban reconfiguration. Within these worthy of note are the many proposals for the upgrading and construction of new squares, as a re-evaluated urban model: Novi of Modena with piazza I Maggio has proposed to finally shape a single square, reconstructing also in a different way half of the buildings that delimit it; Concordia on the Secchia has invented a new square, deciding to reconstruct only partially a central building. Cities can grow only when something changes from within, by continuously updating with the times and through innovation. We’re talking about a qualitative growth, the only thing able to give the city a higher status. The post-earthquake reconstruction plan for a town or city hit hard, like Mirandola, San Felice sul Panaro, Novi di Modena, Concordia sulla Secchia, Camposanto, Concordia sulla Secchia, is a great opportunity to reflect on such dynamics. Even though it is difficult to think of a physical transformation of a city, it is possible to intervene in its functional form, relatively intangible, but nevertheless effective. The earthquake of 2012 had a strong impact on the urban fabric of the town, altering the relationship between “full” and “empty”: the ruins have left a glimpse of the unexpected relationship between these two elements, and uninhabited areas have acquired a strategic value for the relocation of parts of the city.

Identity of the Italian architecture Architectural Design Research

The research project on the theme Identity of Italian architecture, focused on a critical attention to the transformations of the Western and Italian landscape, has led to a complex mosaic of design results published by important international and Italian magazines. The built projects, like the Temple of Cremation in Parma, the Chapel in the Woods in Varano, the Chapel of Prayer at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, the Reconstruction and Restoration of the Castle of Novara, represent topics of debate toward a definition of an “architectural measure” of the present. In The Flame of a Candle Gaston Bachelard reminds us that for a long time, on the table of every wise man “next to the objects, which are prisoners of their own form, next to the books that instruct slowly, the flame of a candle drew thoughts and evoked images without limits”. The similarity of the flame, as applied to architecture, is an exercise in possible daydreams. In the flame, as in architecture, there must be a double fire: one is stronger and it devours the other. “The flame that rises has two sources: one is white, and shines continuously, with its blue roots at the top; the other is red, joined to the wood and the wick from which it burns. “The white part rises straight up, while below the red part burns steadily without giving up substance and nourishing the other while it blazes and shines”. In this dialectic of the active and the passive, of the active and the agent, of past and present participles, it is the sense of the conquest of light, which cannot live, obviously, without historical time and without a subject. Within a horizon of values that gives meaning to things hitherto considered insignificant, a transformation takes effect, not only in time but also of substance, of the red flame becoming the white flame. The white flame must come to exterminate the materiality that nourishes and feeds it. Here, each time the novelty, the only novelty desired. “This light is destroyed by a Breath, and a spark e rekindles it. Therefore the flame is easy birth and easy death. Life and death are placed here next to each other ”. Moral conscience must become white flame “burning impurities that are lodged there. And he who burns well burns high”. Conscience and flame have the same fate as virtue. The simple candle flame illustrates this fate well, “deliberately rising up and returning to its starting point after having accomplished its action below, without ever changing its brilliance to a colour other than white”. The flame rises above itself beyond its own tip. Every time a flame is lit, it is made up of measures. In The Chemical History of a Candle, Faraday tells how the candle can he re-lit by blowing on the vapour alone. We must not let the light go to sleep, in needs time to awaken. The light must not be allowed to extinguish itself; it must he relit quickly.

Identity of the Italian architecture Theoretical Research

Scientific Coordinator Paolo Zermani Address Santa Verdiana room L3 piazza L. Ghiberti, 27 Firenze Research Group Gabriele Bartocci Giulio Basili Riccardo Butini Lisa Carotti Edoardo Cresci Giuseppe Cosentino Chiara De Felice Francesca Mugnai Andrea Volpe

The theoretical research work on the theme Identity of Italian architecture has produced a significant group of contributions in conferences, workshops and seminars in Italy and abroad, in addition to important publications like the volume Architecture: place, time, earth, light, silence (Mondadori Electa, Milan, 2015). The reproducibility, over time, of the founding characteristics of Western architecture compared to hybridizations of the contemporaneity, constitutes the nucleus of a theory of architecture that has to measure itself with the elements of the material and immaterial landscape. Place I often tell my students about the time l met Jorge Luis Borges in 1979. As he was blind, he was being accompanied to the Piazza del Duomo in Parma by Franco Maria Ricci, the publisher for whom he was directing a book series called La Biblioteca di Babele. Borges wanted to visit the Baptistery of Parma with its alto-rilievo personifications of the months, sculpted by Benedetto Antelami. Borges was fascinated by the monuments of the Po Valley, and knew their mysterious geography by heart. According to him, books distance us from and bring us closer to life and place. Time What is the structure of architectural time? What is the plane upon which everything rests? In architecture, this subject bears an unexpected analogy to two elements: the base and the tomb. The former crumbles gradually, losing its material unity. The latter is formed precisely at the moment when the usefulness of the former evidence is terminated by the adventure of the human body and by the decline of civilisation that marks its existence, meaning the usefulness of the former evidence. Between these two states, architecture resists the mutations of its condition to continue nourishing our need for beauty, belonging and identity. Earth The earth guards the measurements of architecture. In his movie Nostalghia (1988) the film director Andrei Tarkovsky stages his characters (the Russian intellectual Gorchakov and his guide and translator Eugenia) on a grand tour in search of truth in time and in Italian space. Gorchakov and Eugenia’s visit to Monterchi, Tuscany to see the Chapel of the Madonna del Parto painted by Piero della Francesca, a depiction of a pregnant virgin Mary born and raised in the midst of fields, is emblematic in this sense. When they arrive in front of the chapel, reconstructed by the Russian director as an archaic crypt, the man refuses to enter, saying: “I want nothing more just for myself. I’m tired of seeing these sickeningly beautiful sights”. Light Each year, I take the students to see the temple at Bassae in the Peloponnese. It was designed by lktinos between 450 and 425 before Christ and dedicated to Apollo. The temple is aligned north-south against the steep slope of a mountain, and is unusual for featuring all three of the classical orders used in ancient Greek architecture. Like most major temples it has three “rooms”, the pronaos, a naos and an opisthodomos, although an atypical element is given by the fact that the entire layout of ionic and Corinthian columns is completely independent from the external structure in that the pitched roof and the frame rest on the perimeter walls. But the relevant fact, as l make the students notice, is an opening on the east side, positioned in wall of the small room that extends from the naos. Toward where does the door look? Where does it lead? Silence As shadow sustains light, silence sustains the necessary words. I always show my students a scene from the movie Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle by Eric Rohmer (1987) where two girls wake up before dawn to see the “blue hour”, the moment when the night animals stop singing and the day animals have not yet started. The interval of absolute silence is full of life; it presides over the breaking day and introduces the activity of nature and the humans who inhabit it. It is a condition of creation that brings us back to earth, contains the flow of time, and places it in suspension to favour the revelation of things.

Identity of the Italian architecture Conference

The conference, organized in Florence with “Casabella”, has hosted for fifteen years some of the most significant proponents of the Italian architectural culture from eighteen School of Architecture. The conference theme is the research of some kind of new “measures” for the architectural design, to be founded on the analysis of the Italian landscape that is such in a rapid transformation. Together with architects the debate has been enriched by the contribute of some of the most representative Italian intellectuals such as Giuseppe Galasso, Massimo Cacciari, Pupi Avati, Luciano Canfora, Marc Augè, Chrystztof Zanussi, Sergio Givone, Tullio Kezic, Giovanni Reale, Gianni Celati, Salvatore Settis, Daniele Del Guidice, Guido Ceronetti, Carlo Sini, Sebastiano Vassalli, Remo Bodei, Franco Cardini.

The new and the eternal 3-4 December 2013 In his booklet The flame of a candle Gaston Bachelard reminds us how, for such a long time, on the table of each wise man, next to the objects that are prisoners of their own shape, beside those books that slowly educate, the flame of a candle used to recall thoughts with no measure, to evoke limitless images. The simile of the flame is not just - applied to architecture – an exercise of possible rêverie.

The great delicate plane 9-10 December 2014 What is the structure of the architectural time? Which is the plane everything rests on? In architecture this theme bears a striking similarity between two elements: crepidoma and tumulus. The former gradually flakes, loosing its unity of substance. The latter arises at the very moment the former ceases to be useful in his evidence. Between this two states architecture resists against the changing of conditions in order to keep feeding our need of beauty.

Still life 10 -11 December 2015 Giorgio Morandi clearly demonstrated, just since the beginning of that 20th century when true Nature started to die, how a natura morta is again part to life. Isolating measures and lights according to a precise selection of the visible things. If the true subject of Western art is the competition with nature and light - without hurting them, but trying to equal and surpass them - this is, even today, the great challenge of the contemporary landscape, where light should illuminate a modified nature.

The dance of time 13-14 December 2016 When the New used to embrace the Antique, time offered us its dance, and every time it was possible to renew our ambition to contemporaneity. Is this desperate and fascinating research over? Today chronicle would convince us that time has exhausted its capacity. Nevertheless for architecture other measures can be grafted on the Earth, which is no longer untouched. Blending one into another those measures become fertile, illuminating only the necessary part of the past, critically detecting new distances and changing identities.

The immortal land of the dead 4-5 December 2017 Already forty years ago, Guido Ceronetti reminded us, in a passage of his brilliant A travel in Italy, that as long as fragments of beauty will survive, something of the world will be still comprehensible. As they disappear, the mind loses ability to grasp and to dominate. This great sinking wreck, whose ancient name is Italy, thanks to its remaining beauty, is still a clear help for the conceivability of the world. Italy, in its present, is still a living land of dead.

The measure of the new in the Italian architectural landscape

Scientific Coordinator Paolo Zermani Scientific Board Gabriele Bartocci Giulio Basili Riccardo Butini Lisa Carotti Chiara De Felice Francesca Mugnai Salvatore Zocco

This project considered the Italian architectural landscape as an exemplary context of avant-garde and innovation. The research was conducted at the Department of Architecture, via both internal and external projects, and its outputs were published in prestigious journals, such as “Domus”. Our project shed light on the dialectics between pre-existing architectural elements of the Italian landscape and their possible new uses, by critically examining the fundamental role of “time”.

Architectural and Environmental Survey and Representation

Reading of the compositional geometries for the knowledge of the architectural work The integrated survey of the bell tower of the Pietrasanta Cathedral

RESEARCH AGREEMENT Scientific Coordinator Barbara Aterini Address Santa Teresa via Mattonaia 8 Firenze, Italy Research Group Barbara Aterini Mauro Giannini Cecilia Luschi Laura Aiello Alessandro Nocentini Enrico Venturini

The exterior of the bell tower of Pietrasanta is in bricks but the irons on the façade suggest that the marble cladding similar to that of the cathedral was envisaged. In the inner part a singular spiral staircase, carved in the wall section, ascend in a helical path and it’s wraps around the ideal axis of the bell tower. So this spiral generates an eye that behaves like the stem of a column, represented here by the void: a grandiose sculpture in negative to volume coclide. A Renaissance architecture (1519) of the highest value; an invention in which the extraordinary geometrical complexity that accompanies a brilliant technological-constructive wisdom makes Michelangelo Buonarroti hypothesize as its architect, given also the congruity of this architecture with its sculptural principles, as well as its presence on site in those years. The research has dealt with the integrated survey of the tower bell with the aim of research its precise geometries, analysing it since from the construction site thanks also to the measurement system used. The agreement with the Curia of Lucca was stipulated for the three-dimensional survey as a control carried out for the purpose of restoration that the bell tower must undergo.

In 1586 Battista Antonelli, at the service of the Spanish crown, undertook a voyage to inspect the bay of Portobello and the mouth of the Chagre river in the Isthmus of Panama and, positively impressed by the natural features that protected the bay of Portobello, also for the anchoring galleons for trade, he suggested that the port of Nobre de Dios be moved to Portobello, to concentrate all commercial activities with the Pacific. Later, on 23 November 1588, Battista Antonelli was appointed by means of a royal coupon for the construction of the fortifications of Portobello and the river Chagre. Today in these places are the ruins of military architecture to which we owe a primary role in the colonization of the new world. The research project studies the works of the Antonelli, detecting the fortresses and the bastions still visible on the territory and studying the defensive system and the military strategies designed by the Italian engineer and his successors. The research has been expanded with studies on the current village of Portobello through the cataloguing of buildings and the survey of the urban area in order to integrate the archive on the cultural heritage of this area.

Digital 3D restitution of the Baptistery of Pisa

AGREEMENT Scientific Coordinator Stefano Bertocci Address Santa Verdiana room B26 Piazza L. Ghiberti, 27 Firenze Partnership Opera della Primaziale Pisana

Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa is one of the symbols of Italy’s artistic heritage and genius; it has inspired many travellers since the time of the Grand Tour, and continues to capture the attention of thousands of visitors today. The baptistery, dedicated to St. John, is morphologically articulated in a cylindrical shape, which differs in each of the three orders composing it. The laser scanner survey, begun in 2002 as a methodological experimentation, was updated with subsequent in-depth campaigns both in 2012 and in 2013 with a more detailed survey campaign of the entire square. The unusual articulation of the Baptistery required the creation of a specific scanning protocol and reconstruction method. The two-dimensional representation of the large cylindrical building was particularly complex and articulated and required planning ahead of the print outs to be reproduced in life-size. The issue was addressed and overcome by splitting the monument into the three architectural orders and into the “minimum formal elements” composing it. The inal part of this process was to share the work and make it available online — namely to insert the data collected in the SICAR, Web-Gis programme (geographic information system) for cataloguing and managing the architectural heritage of MiBACT.

This research aims to experiment a specific knowledge path for the contemporary city of San Paolo taking as one of the main streets of the centre: Avenida São João. The building fabric present on this artery is due to the expansions of the first decades of the twentieth century made on a path before the first urban settlement. It has been realized a campaign of relief of the urban fronts characterized in this part by the presence of medium buildings proportions dating back to the early ‘900 and the first skyscrapers built in the centre of Sao Paulo as the Building Martinelli. The results of the survey, in addition to explaining the morphological and technical construction characteristics of the first reinforced concrete buildings through historical and archival surveys, have produced a first evaluation for the construction of a map of the values of the urban territory. As regards the technological and more specific aspects of the architectural restoration, the Barauna building was analysed with greater attention in detail.

The documentation project for the digital representation of Hadrian’s Villa represents a multi-year survey program promoted by Joint Laboratory “Landscape Survey & Design” with the aim of providing to the Superintendence a three-dimensional database of Villa’s rooms, capable to describe the state of places both in terms of the conditions of walls and of the relationships between architecture and landscape. Hadrian’s Villa represents the highest expression of imperial architecture, combining spaces linked both to political needs and to recreational and leisure activities in a complex with urban articulation immersed in the harmony of a landscape where nature permeates the structures with pools, water games and visual cones that open up to Rome. The documentation and survey activities of the ruins, organized in several campaigns, have produced today a partial database of the Villa made up of high density point clouds from which 3D models are processed to study morphological systems, construction details and walls to identify the architectural relationships between elements and landscape systems, from the large scale to the single wall detail.

The restoration of the Basilica of the Nativity began in September 2013 and covered the roofs, the walls, the mosaics and the narthex. The Basilica is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world, built by St. Helena and modified by Justinian and has many layers in medieval times and stratifications till the present day. The digital survey was conducted to provide the restoration team the necessary graphic drawings to conduct diagnostic tests and develop the specifications and the necessary documentation of the construction. In addition to the survey for the restoration team were conducted site studies for the understanding of the masonry stratigraphy and to develop descriptive apparatuses of the mosaic surfaces highlighted by the restorations.

The survey work on the Karelian landscape and traditional architecture, embedded within the European research project entitled “Wooden Architecture. Karelian Timber Traditional Architecture and Landscape”, is intended to enable understanding of how Karelian culture and history have led, over time, unique urban landscapes. The context of transformation, in which they were involved in both the behavioural habits of local populations both traditional architectural ones, which are mixed inevitability with models and with the administrative Soviet structures, were analysed in this scientific field in order to not compromise the conservation and enhancement of the historic, architectural and landscape of this country.

The survey as a tool of knowledge of the structural deficiencies of sport facilities

AGREEMENT Scientific Coordinator Stefano Bertocci Address room B26 Santa Verdiana Piazza L.Ghiberti, 27 Firenze Researcher UNIFI | DIDA Marco Ricciarini

Among many issues affecting the territory of our country we must consider the difficult conditions of the sports facilities representing the daily theatre where we are facing the growth of thousands of children and youth. It is emblematic the huge gap that exists between the quality of the structures in relation to the amount of children, teens and adults who benefit from these places. This research critically deals with the analysis of some sports facilities of the territory of the Tuscan Region, presents the results of all the 3D laser scanner survey and the articulation of volumes and compositional geometry of the catalogued objects. The charts and process produced have been prepared by different methodologies and techniques of the discipline of the Survey. The documentation produced, made up of scale surveys, has been prepared through various operating methodologies and mainly through the use of 3D laser scan. An experimental analysis of 25 sports facilities has been produced aimed at highlighting the state of preservation and the organizational needs of the sports facilities themselves.

The research work carried out by the Department of Architecture of Florence and the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of Pavia for the administration of Montepulciano (SI) was aimed to study new methods of analysis and promotion of the city. The representation of the street fronts of the historic centre, realized in a decade of analysis in which it is carried out the study for the planning, has formed a corpus of documents useful for the realization of a three-dimensional model of the city itself. The model which allows a dynamic interaction with the urban structure, has been designed to develop tools for valuation of the activities and the historical and cultural heritage. It is possible through the determination of a structure of a visual interface and interactive multimedia which would transform the model in a real emotional space.

MRP-Masada Research Project has been developed by Joint Laboratory University-Enterprise LS3D Landscape Survey & Design of University of Pavia and University of Florence in collaboration with Shenkar College of Tel Aviv. The project, still under study, has a multidisciplinary nature, started in 2013 and it is still ongoing. It has the primary objective of experimenting various digital technologies in order to make a complete documentation of the archaeological site now protected by UNESCO. The research program for the documentation of the archaeological site of Masada has provided measurement campaigns organized in a three-year cycle of activity and thematic seminars in which the research is integrated to teaching and involving students, that usually are in the last years of degree course, PhD students, researchers and professors. The aim of the project is the development and systematization of a methodology for acquiring and processing data related to the site documentation and morphometric characteristics of the entire archaeological area. The research has led to the creation of a database which, together with the geometric data, allows to reconstruct the complex image of this interconnected system of different historical reality, from the archaeological site till the modern museum, in which even the most modest element is organized according o historical features that the survey must be able to know how to interpret.

The constant, continuous presence of seismic activity in Italy presents, once again, the theme of prevention; the earthquake in Abruzzo, as well as the one in Emilia, is a demonstration of how fragile our country is, but also of how an earthquake can hit indiscriminately both old and new structures, including manufacturing plants which are more controlled and controllable than residential buildings. The problem of studying, registering, cataloguing and recording information about historical centres and their stratification is well known; in fact, often a quantity of information, gathered while drafting research and analysis data, or also simply while copying the paperwork attached to building plans that were put forward, is lost because it is not filed correctly, or because not all the possible filing systems are known to us.

The research activities for the documentation of a section of urban context in East Jerusalem is a part of the program “PURE: Productivity and Urban Renewal in East Jerusalem” and it has been developed through an agreement of cooperation between the laboratory LS3D and UNDP (United Nation Development Programme). The project concerns the main quarter of East Jerusalem, an area detected by the old city walls, between Herod’s and Damascus Gate, and by two urban roads (Salah Eddin and Sultain Suleiman st.) with the famous Bab Azhar’s cemetery rising on what the protestants consider to be the Golgotha. In addition to a careful assessment for the structural analysis of the buildings, the project foresees a census of the elements of the urban landscape with the creation of an interactive database and the development of a GIS system based on the 3D model. The project led to the proposal of a master plan of the entire area aimed at the redevelopment and also to the development of the tourist attraction of the area that lies close to the monumental part of the old city.

Within an activity that covers a period of a decade, the DIDA, Department of Architecture of Florence, together with the Laboratory of Landscape, Survey and Design of the University of Florence and the University of Pavia, addresses the issue of the protection of Cultural and Environmental Heritage of our cities, with the main purpose of analysis and understanding of the formal organization of Historic Centres and foreign countries, physically far but culturally neighbours. Cultural links between the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence and some of Universities and territorial administrations and institutions in the North-Eastern of Russia, developed during a period ranging from 2006 to 2016, have helped to bolster or establish relations with customers at different levels, able even nowadays to generate interesting interdepartmental collaboration projects. The researching project about the historic centre of the city of Samara is focused on the descriptive understanding of the aspects that characterize it, a critical and analytical attitude that sees the choice of a possible methodological approach able to individuate the unique aspects and relationship of the public space. The research path tries therefore to provide through a methodological proposal to explain in a single representative system the criticality and potentiality aspects of the landscape.

For a first approach to the territorial system of the path to Santiago, so rich of magnificent examples of architecture, it was considered Santa Maria La Real Cathedral, situated near Burgos on one of the paths of the Way. It is a large religious building, which over time has undergone changes during its first building and with the successive restorations, as you would expect in an existing building since at least the XII century. The study of the monument comes primarily from the real need to draw up a project for the restoration and consolidation of the whole complex. The design on one hand puts it in a static safety and on the other allows its use to the visitors through the organization of the museum, that today is partly decommissioned. Combining different experts in the various subjects concerned it was possible to meet this need: implementing a 3D laser scanner survey campaign, has been necessary as a preliminary basis to understanding the monument; with the creation of architectural 2D restitution (plans, section and elevation of the building) a series of thematic tables for the registration of subsequent diagnostic investigations on the degradation, stratigraphy and the instabilities and deformations of the walls have been carried out.

Shanghai Shikumen Dong Siwenli Integrated survey for knowledge, reuse, and refunctionalisation

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION Scientific Coordinator UNIFI | DIDA Stefano Bertocci Address room B26 Santa Verdiana Piazza L. Ghiberti, 27 Firenze

The project is born from an international collaboration between the survey laboratory of Professor Stefano Bertocci of the University of Florence and the Restoration Laboratory of Professor Cao Younkang of the Faculty of Architecture of the Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, with the intention to strengthen international relations between the two institutions and to achieve the common intent to understand and study the Shikumen of Shanghai. The Shikumen will be analysed from various points of view: historical, being this typology building the input of the urban development of the city; compositional, identifying itself in the uniqueness of western and eastern stylistic union; social, because by studying the needs of the population in the various historical periods we understand the architectural transformation; culture, having conferred an identity of its own and unique to the city. Keeping the deductive director, from the general to the detail, you will discover in detail the district of Dong Siwenli in the district of Jin‘An, so to know the state of degradation and the current situation of the area. The reason why the attention falls on this Shikumen resides in its antiquity and in its size, since always the largest complex of the city. Entering into the live project will be displayed the proposals for a correct and coherent redevelopment of the site examined, to give dignity and vitality to a district currently uninhabited and degraded.

Surveying and diagnosing in the historic centre of Poppi

AGREEMENTS Scientific Coordinator Stefano Bertocci Address Santa Verdiana room B26 piazza L. Ghiberti, 27 Firenze Partnership UNIFI | DIDA

Within the activities of historic centre of Poppi that cover the period between 2011 and 2017, the historic centre was studied as a case study to address the question of analysing historic centres in terms of their documentation, preservation and safety. The work was divided into three areas: the realization of a reliable survey, an appropriate reconstruction of the current state and the identification of the critical elements of the building fabric. The survey was carried out using 3D laser scanning technology to obtain high quality documentation of the artefacts and a graphic display able to show their architectural value. Cataloguing was used to gather the information needed to identify the building system. The question of safety was also addressed both through the analysis of street fronts to identify possible deformations, and by examining the inclination of the straight sides of the arcades.

The historic centre of Pontedera has a regular urban plot and a mainly nineteenth-century building fabric, with numerous post-World War II insertions. The city during the Second World War was interested by heavy bombing, caused by the presence of the Piaggio aeronautical industries. The following reconstruction, together with the development, due in large part to the reconversion to the civil transport on two wheels of the Piaggio industries, has contributed to giving the city the today’s appearance. The metrical survey along the road axis, about 650 meters, which goes from Piazza Unità d’Italia passing through Dante Alighieri to Piazza Caduti di Cefalonia, was realized thanks to the agreement between the municipality of Pontedera and the Department of Architecture DIDA. The 3D laser scanner survey was performed to provide morphological metrical information of the facades and sidewalks that guarantee a linear development of about 1500 meters. The purpose of the survey was to create a digitized 2D and 3D database to form the basis for the project for overcoming architectural barriers in the city center.

The project shows a research on the historical centre of Brolo, which is affected by methods of investigation but also by considerations born from the analysis of national and regional regulations in force. The project develops following detection methods for the protection of historic centres, addressing various themes that contribute and are indispensable for the preparation of a correct cognitive framework of the historical centre of Brolo, but also for the drafting of a redevelopment plan. The documentation and knowledge of the heritage, especially if aimed at the planning of restoration and conservation, requires the setting up of numerous knowledge and numerous investigation practices; the “drawing”, in its wide and open concerns, is the tool through which to collect this information, both during the survey phases in the countryside and in the technical drawings, where the graphics and the drawing reproduce this same method of reading through signs and symbols from which to read the forms of the building. The research project on the historic centre of Brolo becomes part of a research path that in the same territory has already seen the analysis of the centres of Naso, Ficarra, Capo d’Orlando, Messina. With a view to protection and knowledge that wants to become a model of development for a territory with significant potential.

The issues related to the restoration and reuse of historical architecture today appear more and more often at the centre of the academic and cultural debate. The new restoration and musealisation interventions that are taking place in Italy and abroad emphasize the issues related to the comparison between ancient buildings and modern interventions with a view to a better readability of the historical architecture and a better use by users of public buildings and museum spaces. To redesign an ancient space requires the realization of a cognitive path of the places and of the building that can be realized only starting from the practice of drawing with a systematic attention aimed at the technical knowledge of the places. Only through an accurate documentation of the building, completed by the structural and diagnostic analysis of the building, can one consciously design, to consider the restoration or recovery of the Heritage without distorting it but sensing its vocations and enhancing its characteristics.

The Pionta Hillock, near the actual train station and the San Donato Hospital in Arezzo, was once the place of a small fortified citadel, destroyed in the sixteenth century and literally razed to the ground to the point of making any trace disappear. In the twentieth century the archaeological excavations have begun to bring to light the remains of some buildings, making manifest the presence of important remains, the ‘iconographic apparatus that has documented through time this place, even if valuable, is often contradictory and unclear. Starting from 2014, following a research agreement between the Department of Architecture of the Florence University and the Cultural Association Academo, Arezzo, an articulated activity of survey, documentation and digital reconstruction of this place began. A process that allowed to begin rethinking the value of these place and the communication and valorisation formulas to transmit the historical and artistic value of this citadel reduced to rubble.

The fortress of Bagni di Petriolo (Monticiano – SI) has been documented since the medieval period, as attested by historical sources. The project made in 2016 moves within the framework of contemporary knowledge and methodologies developed by the disciplinary scientific sector of conservative restoration, following the criteria of archaeological restoration, using tested operational methodologies, with mainly non-invasive features and interventions with good reversibility characteristics over time. All preliminary investigations of the project have been carried out on the entire fortress, in order to have a good knowledge framework for the conservative restoration. On the basis of the acquired knowledge, the interventions to be carried out on the masonry that previously provides for the consolidation of the palimpsests and after for the protection of the masonry. Activities to support the specific construction were: envisaged, consisting primarily of cleaning, vegetation, debris and small collapses of masonry, for the scaffolding area. The stratigraphic surveys, carried out during the preliminary design phase, will be aimed at sampling the mortars identified in the individual stratigraphic units, so as to constitute a database that will be used to choose the mortars suitable for intervention.

Survey and seismic vulnerability assessment of the Caracalla’s arch in the archaeological site of Volubilis, Morocco

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION Scientific Coordinator Giovanni Pancani Address Santa Verdiana piazza L. Ghiberti, 27 Firenze Partnership UNIFI | DIDA UEMF EM | ADU

To the limits of the Roman empire, the ruins of Volubilis are witnesses of the glorious past of the settlement. In the first century B.C., the ancient capital of the kingdom of Mauritania, was recognized as municipium by the will of Emperor Claudius; in a period after to this statement, Volubilis was the subject of a process of urban reform that culminated with the transformations of the Severian era. In the III century AD, the city reached the apex of the splendour, with the construction of imperial buildings, such as the Temple of the Campidoglio and the arch of Caracalla. The arch, which can be seen in the skyline of the Volubilis plain, was built with stone blocks of the nearby mountain and is located at the intersection of the decumanus, the porticoed axis to the Tangier Gate, and the road that leads to the area of the foro. The work carried out by the scientific team, concerned the survey of the monument and the study of its seismic vulnerability. The survey was made by Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques, interconnected by the direct survey that was used for the control and verification of 3D models and its relative restitutions. The datas obtained from the geometric and material analysis were integrated with the historical investigations related to the seismic events. This process permit to identify the possible mechanisms of collapse activated by earthquakes during the time. The numerical simulations were finally provided plausible on the intensity and direction of the seismic events.

The research project for the documentation of the alleys and the streets of Florence is aimed at the study and description of the urban network related to the area of the historical centre. This network is generated by a multitude of streets, hubs and paths, which intertwine irregularly and to which correspond specific spatial and dimensional characteristics. The alleys form part of this network and produce the most intimate dimension of the public space, allowing to cross the city from the inside, entering the ravines where “the rear” of the Renaissance urban fronts, are shown. The alleys show historical, social peculiarities and structural characteristics from which the documentation of the places can not be ignored. In these narrow and restricted spaces the visitor finds a particular concentration of intricate perceptual processes. The fields of application of architectural, structural, typological, geometrical and formal investigations have long found fertile and profitable applications integrating with extremely sophisticated survey methods such as laser scanners or immersive photography (spherical photos) with very high resolution and the related research methods developed in the field of architectural documentation and design.

The realization of an extensive documentation of the historical centres of the municipality of Terranuova Bracciolini through a system of cataloguing and census-sheets arises from the need to control the process of redevelopment of these areas, currently subject to a building regime exclusively binding but also, and especially, to understand how and with which tools to manage the operations of conservation, recovery and redevelopment of small historical centres that are part of the municipal territory. Therefore, the identification of the actions necessary to start a process of recognition of the urban systems of the municipal area appears to be a priority, through a detailed study of urban aggregates, building types, services, infrastructures, open areas, traffic, up to the analysis of the urban furnishing system to build a sort of value map that can positively guide the planned redevelopment process. The wide range of information thus obtained, reworked and organized in a digital way, allows to provide the local municipal structure with a complex and updated database.

The hermitage is a place of difficult access, where hermits retreat voluntarily excluding themselves from society to lead a life of prayer and asceticism. If the realization of isolated places of prayer is common to many religions, above all Christianity is due to the diffusion in Italy of a large number of hermitages which, from the Middle Ages to today, constitute a large part of the cultural heritage of historical and architectural interest of our country. The Department of Architecture of Florence, together with the Joint Laboratory of Landscape, Survey and Design of the University of Florence and the University of Pavia, deals with issues related to documentation for the conservation and enhancement of the most important monastic centres and hermitages of Tuscany. In particular, the research, taking as a case study, the sanctuary of Monte Senario has expanded the documentation project of the holy places of Tuscany such as Vallombrosa, Camaldoli, La Verna and the Certosa del Galluzzo. A series of international conferences were organized, entitled “Eremitic Architecture, design systems and cultural landscapes” in order to show the researching result that were held in 2010, 2011, 2012 with the expectation of a final conference in 2019.

The project activity of CRHIMA-cinp has been financed by Culture Programme 2007-2013 funds, Budget 2010, Strand 1.1 Multi-annual cooperation projects, Strand 1.2.1 Cooperation measures. The purpose of the Culture Programme 2007-2013 is to propose the revaluation of the cultural area shared by Europeans through the cooperation between creators, operators and cultural institutions of the countries participating in the Programme. Specifically, the Action of Cooperation 1.2.1 is devoted to the development of multi-sectored cultural cooperation, creativity and innovation and possibility of long-term cooperation. The project “Rupestrian cultural heritage in the circum-Mediterranean area. Common identity, new perspectives” has been ranked at the first place amongst the 108 candidate projects, with a rating of 95/100. - The total investment amounts to € 394,000.00; the Financing is equal to € 194,742.67 with a ratio of 49.80% co-financing. - The program of the project was completed in 24 months; the activities began 01/10/2010 and ended on 29/09/2012. The rupestrian culture - General information. The troglodyte architecture, rupestrian or underground, is a heritage cross and contemporary culture subdiva, implemented over time with variations and it is connected to all cultures. Living in caves is still present in many parts of the world, at all latitudes, with different climates and different types of soils. Climatic factors, integration or mimesis of the landscape architecture, economics based on the use of local materials, the variety and richness of the living space, tricks of light, are all factors that characterize rupestrian architecture and are to be considered. The energy crisis of the last decades, has led technologists and scholars of the built environment, to inform about the passive methods of air conditioning and bioclimatic solutions adopted in the ancient “houses of man”. In addition, the attention of multidisciplinary operators for the environment, collapsing in many areas, has focused attention on rupestrian sites. The project CRHIMA-cinp turns its attention to the some regions and municipalities of the partner countries: the island of Santorini in Greece, Andalusia and the Ebro Valley in Spain, the Loire Valley in France, Italy and Puglia in Cappadocia in Turkey.

From February 2013 to February 2016, DIDA has been a partner in the project “Rupestrian art and habitat in Cappadocia (Turkey) and in Central and Southern Italy. Rock, excavated architecture, painting: between knowledge, preservation and enhancement”. Funded by PRIN (2010/11) it was coordinated by Prof. Maria Andaloro of Tuscia University. The project, based on an interdisciplinary approach combining humanistic and scientific knowledge, has used innovative technologies chosen among the most suitable contemporary communication media applied to cultural heritage. Mainly, has been examined two areas in the European-Mediterranean context, of the most representative of Medieval Rock Heritage: the Cappadocia, which is the first of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Turkey, and the South-Central Italy, with the settlements of Puglia, Basilicata, Sicily and the case of the Sassi of Matera, declared World Heritage in 1993. Therefore, the habitat, a singular and natural anthropic opera union, is the core theme of the project, whose objectives are set out in the title: knowledge, conservation and enhancement. The Florence DIDA Unit Research has pursued its goals with the tools of “representation” and specific to the rocky habitat. Particularly, the Unit Research worked in Cappadocia in a not investigated area, located on the eastern side of the Göreme Valley, in the north of the Open Air Museum. The DIDA Unit Research, especially, has achieved a territorial survey of his landscape and architectonical unity, with its settlement structures in rock, that are on the ridge, and dug in natural cones, that characterise the Cappadocian landscape. Also, had been documented the Italian site Santa Marina Village, near San Marco’s ravine at Massafra, Puglia, and the east front of Palagianello ravine and its medieval and XVI century part of village settlements.

Behind an architectural survey there is a complex knowledge path based on a real architectonic fact with a own historical truth. The survey means to emancipate yourself from the normal contest already seen and accepted to achieve a new dimension of “no-knowledge”. It’s possible to try to confirm its identity only if you don’t know anything about the object. “From the skin to the heart” means this: only continuing to ask the right questions you find answers to uncover the magister’s face, the building site’s fatigue and the technological strategies.

The project has been developed as external activity of the “Laboratory of Drawing and Representation of Architecture” at the University of Architecture of Florence. The students have learnt the basic principles of survey and how to represents an architectural object by drawing. The subject of the study was “Sforza-Cesarini Palace”, the castle of Santa Fiora. With the University of Archaeology of Florence (SAGAS), the castle has been studied as centre point of a museum project, as it has been done for the castle of Arcidosso. The museum project of the castle of Santa Fiora has been delivered to the municipality of the city, and the museum project of Arcidosso has been realized and open to public.

In accordance with the Erasmus+ application for the exchange programme between Florence University (UniFi) and Yerevan State University (YSU) the teaching programme focused on the subjects of Survey methodology and analyses of architectural heritage in the middle age, two main areas of research of the Chair of Medieval Archaeology of UniFi for which YSU requested a specific transfer of knowledge. The methodological and analytical tools of Architecture were presented taking into consideration case studies selected from the sites of Vaiots Dzor Region, where UniFi and YSU with the sponsorship of MAECI are conducting a wide territorial survey for studying the formation of landscapes around the Silk Road, mainly in Mongolian period (cc. 13th14th). In particular ARATES was taken as an example of a multi-period architectural complex (cc. 9th-16th) and the teaching program focused on the concepts of: site, architectural complex and building structure. Workplace training has developed on territorial bound sites. Areni, whose architect seems to have worked with Arates and Noravank too. The castle of Sbadaberd, where the use of manuelances from the site of the Tsagatskar monastery is suspected; and ultimately the Tsagatskar monastery, where the church of Sang John presents the usual metric characteristics of Sions of Arates. The constructive typological confrontation between the monastic sites and their territorial relations has laid a general picture on the territory of Vaiotdzor, becoming the basis of interdisciplinary developments. SILK ROAD (AA. 2015-2016) The activities of the project included: - Meeting with the Scientific Coordinator of the Erasmus+ Project at Yerevan State University Prof. Hamlet Petrosyan and with the staff and students; - Research cooperation with the Yerevan State University for the study of the Silk Roads in Vaiots Dzor and visit to the study areas; - Erasmus + Kick-off meeting.

Salomon project ‘s goals are the study and the comparison between two different academic institutions. The common purpose is to train professionals able to meet other cultures and make living together in one city project. Florence and Jerusalem have in common unexpected matrices. The work that we are going to do is just to recognize the urban spaces structures and the city limits in order to design a shared social space. The structure from the Cardo and Decuman, now in a deep mark two historic towns. From this information, we must begin to educate new designers and architects new to a culture of contamination as the ages and history have made beyond the contingent. INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY OF EDUCATION SOLOMON PROJECT 2015-2017 Solomon Project is the result of a work of years of dialogue between two schools of architecture from Università degli Studi di Firenze in Italy and Ariel University in Israel. This project consists on an international exchange between Italian and Israeli students that alternately stay in the two different countries, for a period of ten days or more, during which they work on two different architectural projects: one for a site in Florence, one for a site in Jerusalem. The students work together in mix groups, giving their contribution to the projects - a contribution based on a personal experience and planning method of their original university. The teaching staff is composed by six leading professors of each institute, specialised in different aspects of architectural planing and research. Therefore, the seminar structure allows students to get in touch with different cultures and different kinds of architec-

ture - from the historical point of view, planning methods, until theory and personal approach. In the last three years we investigated different issues and aspects of architectural planning linked to the two cities: City Walls (2015), Urban Square (2016), Architecture and Water (2017). These themes were examined for both Jerusalem and Florence, resulting in fascinating architectural projects. The constant comparison encourages the students to grow a new creativity, flexibility, awareness, and self-confidence that will be essential for a new generation of architects. Notably, the experience developed in small time eases and forces a superior and more profitable approach of two cultures that have many points of touch but also many differences. All these factors contribute to creating a fertile terrain for the professional and personal growth of the students.

From the documents prepared for the construction of the new ‘Mercati delle Vettovaglie’ in Florence, it was possible to recreate, with the use of infographic tools, an unpublished image of the urban form demolished by the end of the 19th century in order to make space to new pavilions. The analysis of the documents host at the Historical Archive of the City of Florence, together with data obtained from digital survey campaigns concerning the existing built heritage, permitted the realization of 3D models that illustrates the events related to these interventions. The combination of historical analysis and three-dimensional modelling gave the chance to create a video (by the Multimedia Service Centre of the University of Florence) that shows, in new ways, the evolution of the urban form during the construction of the 19th century market.

Valleriana has an extremely recognizable landscape, characterized by the presence of ten early medieval settlements that still today show their very flourishing past. In 2012, the urbanistic tools used by the Municipality of Pescia recognized the historical, environmental and cultural value of the Valleriana and signed its integral protection identifying this area as a structural invariant. The enormous patrimony kept in the valleys of the torrent of Pescia and its tributaries, however, is continually threatened by carelessness, incorrect uses and lack of funding. The Municipality, sensitive to these issues, have been welcoming the initiatives promoted by the DIDA that is trying to analyse scientifically the settlements and to promote an integral project aimed at recovery, conservation and enhancement of the urban form.

The castle of Rocca San Silvestro is located in the mountains of Campigliese, inside the Colline Metallifere; in this area, rich in historical-archaeological and naturalistic point of interest, was created the Mining Archaeological Park. The project of the open-air archaeological and mining museum of San Silvestro, which covers an area of 450 hectares among the hills of Campiglia Marittima, in southern Tuscany (Italy), derived from a specific research background. The first season of excavations at the castle of Rocca San Silvestro dates to 1984, and was carried out by the Medieval Archaeology department at Siena University, in collaboration with the Town Council of Campiglia Marittima, and departments at several European universities. Right from the start, the archaeological research set itself two main aims: a - The reconstruction of the history of this settlement by examining the material sources, in order to understand both the major phases of the development of the castle, in relation to the economy of medieval Tuscany, and the daily life of its inhabitants, and the way production was organized, with reference to the mineral resources present in the area. b - Enhancing a site which crystallized at the time when it was abandoned, surviving the deep, and sometimes dramatic transformations of the surrounding landscape unharmed. The exceptional state of preservation of the settlement turned the excavation into a unique opportunity to be able to reconstruct a social history of the technology in use, and to come up with a better interpretation of a number of aspects of medieval life.

The research is aimed at a new photogrammetric survey to tackle the restoration of the gravestones of the Pisa’s monumental cemetery. It is situated in “Piazza del Duomo” and it occupies the north side of the extensive complex. The architecture opens into the square with a large marble wall interrupted with a series of blind arches. Inside, the building is arranged around a cloister (110 x 20 meters), over which the four galleries are overlooked, that are the illustrious Pisan burials. The cemetery, built from 1277, was completed in the mid14th century. During the Second World War, it was heavily bombed and it suffered a fire that caused massive damage. The survey was addressed to using a methodological approach aimed at integrating multiple data acquisition system. Through a 3D laser scanner, a metric-morphological basis was developed on which the subsequent processing was calibrated. A photo capture campaign has been conducted to meet two different types of needs. In the first, a 2D orthophoto was created calibrating the straightened photographic images on the point cloud. In the second a series of partial 3D Mesh models have been performed using Structure from Motion technologies (SFM), where for better evaluation of gravestones degradation it is possible to observe the morphology along with the colour.

San Miniato al Monte with its geometric and typical Romanesque flavour, dominates the city of Florence from above. Historically it has been a religious and cultural centre of great influence, and it has also been a source of inspiration for the Renaissance stylistic flowering. In the upper open gallery of the cloister, a long and careful work of architectural restoration was carried out also in relation to the alarming deterioration of the state of conservation of the frescoes by Paolo Uccello. Their separation has allowed the extraordinary recovery of a series of spectacular sinopias, the restoration of frescoes and the discovery of further fragments of painting of high qualitative value. In particular SISMA S.r.l.s took care of the Texturised Scanning of the frescoes and the sinopias of the cycle of “Storie dei santi Padri del deserto“ (Stories of the holy Fathers of the desert) of Paolo Uccello, about 200 meters, with an acquisition mesh of less than 05 x 05 cm. including recording of the scans. Also Orthographic photos have been realized of frescoes and of very high resolution sinopias with photographic acquisitions of at least 15 pixels per cm, calibrated on the point cloud of the laser scanner survey.

Conservation of Architecture and Cultural Heritage

Le Corbusier’s Heritage

Studies for its preservation and restoration

Scientific Coordinator Susanna Caccia Gherardini Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Stefania Aimar Francesca B. Giusti Salvatore Zocco Partnership Fondation Le Corbusier, Paris

The process of recognition as heritage has interested all social sciences, at least during the past thirty-five years. A process of recognition that, in the case of Le Corbusier, is closer to legend than to human or social history, and in which the name of the author takes the place of the objects themselves. Le Corbusier represents in fact a case study of particular interest: the study of the restoration of Le Corbusier’s works is a field of research which is, however, relatively “marginal” in the extensive historiographic production on Le Corbusier. The research attempts to analyse how restoration establishes a decision-making process, a mise en scène of social and heritage recognition processes that attribute meaning to the work and reconfigure techniques which carry in their core a fundamental querelle. The debate being between the conservation of the work as memory, as opposed to the function that architecture must exercise in order to be considered as such and not reduced to the simulation of an architecture. The restoration of Le Corbusier’s works places the crucial topic of the analysis on modern architecture at the centre of the critical and theoretical debate. Its theme and interpretation regard originality and authorship. The restoration of works such as those of Le Corbusier have reopened the debate on the subject of authorial architecture. The challenge of values presented precisely during those years by Villa Savoye and the maisons La Roche and Jeanneret, shifts the attention on the process that transforms paintings, novels and cement architectures into icons, with the reductionism and the survivals that this implies. A process that has not been studied much, even in the case of Le Corbusier, in comparison to literature, where the reception and critical fortune of the work follow more widely explored paths. After decades in which the scene was dominated by historiographic, critical and political interpretations, today it is restoration that entirely re-proposes the issues related to Le Corbusier’s architecture.

Le moderne est fatigué

About the preservation of Modern Heritage

Scientific Coordinator Susanna Caccia Gherardini Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Stefania Aimar Susanna Cerri Francesca B. Giusti Salvatore Zocco

Many researches have addressed the subject of the restoration of modern heritage and perhaps it is also for this same reason that modern heritage is fatigué. In the field of modern heritage we are often confronted with buildings that are still secluded in a limbo of criticism and history, and for which we even often lack adequate categories and evaluation criteria. Many of us are familiar with cases of architectural works that have finally been recognized as unique, whereas having previously been accounted as losses for not having met the “history” and their interpreter on time. Developing a self-awareness which allows to think about, at the same time, both the object in front of us and the historical-critical tools to understand this same object is, as a matter of fact, already a project. Thus, asking ourselves how cultural heritage, in the case of 20th century architecture, is being defined is an essential question to effectively contribute to its same patrimonialisation. The events and transformations pertaining to the concept of cultural heritage, including the notion of values according to which it is established which architectures and parts of a city are to be preserved, become a crucial point in order to understand the fortunes related to the restoration of Modern architecture. Therefore, the proposed researches aim at initiating a multidisciplinary dialogue without seeking at all costs specificities and barriers that identify even let alone timeframes. This way, it opens to those contributions that are suggested by the broad epistemological debate on the recognition of 20th century architecture. Such investigations are experimental, designed to include know-how, techniques, knowledge and practice. A small intellectual and training ground aiming at improving the project of restoration and developing a toolbox for the restorer. PUBLICATION AND CONFERENCES S.

The amphitheatre is one of the monuments part of the heritage grid of Lucca. The amphitheatre is a form-symbol of the identity of the city which has been preserved through the continuous transformations of the urban space. Having the old cunei been converted into dwellings during the centuries, the entire Roman structure amplified its oval shape, becoming urban space and the referential matrix for the connection to Fillungo street and the complex of San Frediano. The continuity of the cunei - simple units developing in depth - and the versatility of the load-bearing structures allowed the spaces to be used, through simple adaptations, as dwellings, storehouses or shops. Regularly spaced beams, common to adjacent cunei and set on the load-bearing walls above the vaults, allowed these spaces to gain height through the addition of wooden floors. By the end of the 18th century the amphitheatre, except for the perception resulting from the amplification of its shape within the urban space, was inexorably losing its legibility as independent architecture. Thus, in contrast with the idea of aesthetic isolation of noble architecture which had become dominant especially in France with the so called urban planning of the age of Enlightenment, according to which the expected isolation originates in part for identity reasons and not only from a rising hygienism. The intervention on the amphitheatre underlines not only a continuity in its use but also, and especially, a historical continuity which connects Antiquity to the Middle Ages, and unravels, through so many legible “stories”, the “recovered” monument. The choice to perpetuate the Medieval tradition is the tangible expression of a symbolic assertion of the values of the past, aimed at planting the principle of identity in the civic consciousness. The amphitheatre of Lucca is a unique case on the national scene. Having survived, albeit with modifications, the passing of the time its physical matter reveals the transformation it has undergone and its structure the evolution, while its appearance reveals the choices that have been made in response to the evolving needs of those who, through their use, have marked its path to preservation.

The Chapel of Sant’Agata in Pisa Project of restoration

Scientific Coordinator Susanna Caccia Gherardini Luisa Rovero Ugo Tonietti Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Stefania Aimar Francesca B. Giusti Giovanni Minutoli Sara Stefanini Gianfranco Stipo Salvatore Zocco Collaborators Stefania G. Florea Pier Paolo Lagani Marco Repole

The chapel of Sant’Agata in Pisa represents a compendium of problems covering various fields and disciplines, thus offering a rare opportunity to investigate methodological issues in restoration. A building whose limited size only magnifies the problems arising when multiple material and immaterial components of a monument are to be managed. The intersections which the project of restoration has been based on are multiple: those proper to the object to be investigated and to the wide spectrum of material and structural competences, but also the points of view and the attention given to the building. Attention that emphasizes the relationship between the observer and the object, thus raising the question of how a restorer, a chemist, a geologist, a specialist in construction can conduct the analysis and create a shared dialogue at the same time.

Heritage planning for preservation of ancient villages Historic centres data management a restoration methodology in Campania

Scientific Coordinator Giuseppe A. Centauro Collaborators Irene Centauro David Fastelli Guido Iannone Giuseppe Scocca Antonio Tizzani Partnership Comune di Pietrelcina Translation Chiara Bocchio

The problems related to the conservation and management of the architectural heritage of historic centres are derived in large part from the difficulty of recomposing the complex urban fabric and the great amount of information drawn from it. Only by having reliable and up-to-date data, the governments and institutions can make balanced and effective choices in the allocation of resources. Thus, they can develop budgets for programs related to the protection and requalification of heritage, from the single building to the entire village. The research activity on the historic village of Pietrelcina (BN), as part of the Rural Development Program 2014-2020, has aimed at studying the surfaces and materials of the residential area to enhance the local architectural and landscape features. The research is also aimed at identifying programmatic-normative strategies regarding the redevelopment of the urban centre and the landscape with regards to the criteria and guidelines for the maintenance and restoration of the faรงades. In support of the research, an innovative management and data management system regarding the buildings and the faรงade units of the Pietrelcina historical building fabric have been introduced. This has been executed by monitoring the ongoing transformations and the state of conservation, and by assisting the development of more appropriate design choices, respecting the Urban Planning Regulations and the context.

Urban Landscape Preservation Colour restoration for safeguarding the cultural identity in Elba Island

Scientific Coordinator Giuseppe A. Centauro Collaborators Irene Centauro Daniela Chiesi David Fastelli Nadia Cristina Grandin Guido Iannone Alessandro Pastorelli Partnership Comune di Capoliveri Comune di Marciana Marina Translation Chiara Bocchio

The colour of architectural surfaces is the first evidence of the authenticity of the building matters, the structure and its eventual covering, through which it is possible to read the identity of the belonging factory. The restoration of the urban landscape considers the co-existence between colour, matter, monuments, relationships and aesthetic-perceptive aspects, treating the colour matter at several levels: • at an environmental and urban scale: in the relationship with the surrounding territory (morphology, visual impact, etc.) and with the urban fabric (streets, squares, etc.); • at an architectural scale: in the relationship between constructional, material and typological details of the same building. In the 2014-2017 period, research was carried out to safeguard and enhance the landscape and urban context of the Elba Island. The studies for the redevelopment of the historical centres within the Elba Island, such as Marciana Marina and Capoliveri, has been aimed at gaining knowledge of the mineral and chromatic matrices of the territory and of the environmental and architectural peculiarities, and at the protection of the cultural identity of the locations. The study of both structural and aesthetic-perceptive aspects has been possible through the use of different research methodologies and techniques, combining traditional study techniques (historical research, archives, etc.) with an advanced use of innovative IT tools for data collection, survey and representation (SQL Database, Data Analysis, Lines of Sight, etc.).

Fortification in North Puglia Medieval & Modern age structures surveys and diagnostics

Scientific Coordinator Michele Coppola Address Sezione di Restauro room 11 Via P. A. Micheli, 8 Firenze Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Michele Coppola Politecnico di Milano Cristina Tedeschi CNR | ICVBC Emma Cantisani

This project aims to give a strong contribution to the knowledge of the northern boundary of Puglia through the study of the fortifications. An interesting aspect is represented by the transformation and the changing of the defensive network moving through the middle age and the modern age. The investigation carried by the Dida in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano is providing at first the digital documentation of these buildings. Typological and stratigraphic analysis clarified some construction sequences and technical features of the building’s life stages. We also identified all materials (limestone, brick, mortar, wood) and launched a campaign of instrumental investigation for the evaluation of decay phenomena and the monitoring of their progress. In particular we are trying to understand the role of the sea spray attack in the weathering of the stone materials, both along the sea and the inner land. In the studies of the coastal defences of the Kingdom of Naples, there is a widespread tendency to focus attention on the viceroy phase, extending its unitary nature, which in some cases does not correspond to what really happened. Built in the second half of the 16th century, for more than three centuries they have been exposed to weather and earthquakes suffering different levels of damage. The natural isolation of many of these buildings helped to prevent contemporary additions and interferences. On the “defensive minorities” of the north coast of the Capitanata, from the mouth of Fortore to Peschici. In particular we have investigated some of the towers of the Viceroys period, which don’t look to follow the standard architectural model provided by the decree of Pedro Afàn de Ribera: the Tower on the Fortore (Lesina, Italy) and the Tower of San Menaio (Vico del Gargano, Italy). Some interesting aspects emerged about material history and the transformations of the structures over time, but also significant relationships with buildings of the same period. The tower is located in an unique natural context. Whatever project aimed at the conservation and revitalization of this building should integrate the peculiarities of the environment and landscape of which it is part.

Conservation, knowledge, documentation and data-sharing are more and more essential in contemporary research on pharaonic architecture. This project is developed in order to contribute to the study and conservation of in-situ pharaonic architecture. The first part of this research is developed in collaboration between the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, the Florence Egyptian Museum and the ICVBC-CNR of Florence. The main case study is the project of knowledge and conservation of the temple of Ramesses II at Antinoe is carried out by an interdisciplinary team of the Italian Archaeological Mission. The goal is to identify the stages of the building life cycle, through the study of its original formal and technological characters and subsequent transformations. Complete plans and elevations of still-on-place remains have been drafted. Stratigraphic investigations and analysis of the materials have been carried out on the columns of the court and of the hypostyle hall. Standard formal models and main technological processes have been identified, as well as specific solutions. Attention has been paid to the study of mortars and painting layers, especially with the analysis of pigments used in different decoration phases. The systematic recording of the scattered pieces is leading to a significant knowledge of the collapsed parts of the building. The project aims to reach its goals also through the study of the architectural fragments in museums around the world. Integrated methodologies for documentation and non-invasive investigation were applied to a fragment of a wall of Seti I tomb (KV17), kept in the Florence Egyptian Museum. This represents just a starting point for the identification of the further developments of the research. The primary goal is to achieve the best level of knowledge and documentation of this artefact which really needs an appropriate level of investigation after many years. The evaluation of the quality of data allows to define the extent of any laboratory analysis. In another way, the verification of the potential applications of this interdisciplinary approach, can bring together results in an integrated protocol, for the survey of similar artefacts.

La Villa Bourbon del Monte di Piancastagnaio History | Survey | Project

Scientific Coordinator Maurizio De Vita Address Santa Teresa via della Mattonaia, 14 Firenze Researcher Luca Pammolli

The Palace of the Tuscan noble Bourbon del Monte family was built at the beginning of the seventeenth century following to the concession of Piancastagnaio feud to the marquis Giovan Battista Bourbon by Ferdinando I° de’ Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany, a territory on the border with the Papal State. The Palace represents a great example of XVII Century architecture. It is an important building with high artistic and cultural value that currently is unused and in bad state of conservation. The studies conducted for this research are the result of the collaboration between the Municipality of Piancastagnaio and the Postgraduate School of Architectural and Landscape Heritage of the University of Florence - Department of Architecture (DIDA). The Palace shows several cracks located in the southeast corner, where the foundation leans against the clayey soil, whereas the remaining structure exhibits different alterations and degradations caused by the bad use of the building during the twentieth century. The outcomes and objectives of this work include: the bibliographic and unpublished archival researches, the integrated surveying, the mapping of the surface degradation, attribution idea of the Opera to Jacopo Barozzi da Vingola and the project for the enhancement of the monumental complex.

Restoration and Sustainability

Scientific Coordinator Maurizio De Vita Research Group Maurizio De Vita Margherita Vicario

592

The relationship between historic architecture and sustainability is a significant field for experimentation and research; the possible outcomes should be sought in the updated practice of restoration and conservation and, therefore, in the substantial contribution that architecture, the urban fabric and the historicised territory can give to sustainability and energy saving. The careful study of historicised construction features is always necessary for restoration projects as is the careful study of traditional materials and building techniques, useful for tracing their changes over time. The introduction of increasingly effective ways of interpreting these factors, in themselves bearers of sustainability, combined with the systematic analysis of the environmental features of historic buildings can provide significant information for new-generation restoration projects. This information should be applied when deciding whether to replace existing parts or when assessing the sustainability of materials and construction techniques to be used for integrations and additions. The operative translation of these ideas serves to integrate research and the analytical descriptions of the artefacts and historicised sites and their parts, with an accurate record of the aforesaid environmental features which should be considered as fixed references for the restoration project and for choices related to the so-called technological upgrading of our cultural heritage. Comparison with the results of advanced diagnostics: the most recent applications of diagnostic imaging (such as thermo-vision) make it possible to systematically identify relevant data for assessing the energy content (for instance wall thickness, wall cavities, energy dispersion from the various elements and from the masonry), and to monitor the dispersion of energy. Interaction between the restoration project and technological research on renewable energy sources: the technology has to be compatible and adaptable to the fragile features of historicised architecture. solar and photovoltaic technologies, advanced types of insulation, geothermal energy and other innovative technologies should be a part of restoration projects but they should always be used in accordance with the basic principles of compatibility and respectful positioning within the historicised context.

Urban Renewal of the Northern Section the City Wall of Nanjing China

Scientific Coordinator Maurizio De Vita Students Emma Amidei Brando Barni Roberto Coppa Antonela Dedja Cécile Ketcheian Universities UNIFI | Department of Architecture, Italy Beijing University | Department of Architecture, China Dongnan University | Department of Architecture, China

This workshop has been created in order to gather ideas and projects propositions for the architectural and urban restoration of the ancient City Walls of Nanjing, former capital of China. Teachers and students from four different Chinese and Italian universities compared ideas, techniques, and proposed new designs for the renewal of an extraordinary urban historic context, currently characterized by different forms of degradations. The chosen area for the workshop defines a fracture both of the continuity of the restored part of the ancient city wall and of the quality of the urban spaces. The intervention includes therefore an part of stony materials conservation, as an urban restoration of the abandoned areas and buildings. The design proposal of the students of the University from Florence, “Open your wall”, emphasizes the notion of memory with a public “culture park” that redefines the relationship between the line of the ancient City Wall and the line of the river. The need of urban connections faces the theme of the architectural addition in a restoration approach.

The DIDA Department (University of Florence) signed up an agreement with the University for Foreigners of Siena - International University and the “Polo Museale per la Toscana” (the principal office for the State Museums in Tuscany) in 2016, with the aim to study the Ville Medicee, placing a specific focus on the Villa Medicea at Castello, in order to enhance both the full cultural potential and the museum features. In 2017, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism agreed to provide a first financing for the research project “Studies, drawings, analysis for design transformations focusing on museum features of an area in the garden of Castello”, by Emanuela Ferretti, Pietro Matracchi as chief advisors. The Villa was born as “casa da signore” (simply medieval residence for the nobility) in 14th century and, from 1538 to the end of the century, was re-designed by Cosimo I (the first Grand Duke of Tuscany) and his son Ferdinando I. The Castello’s garden constitutes, with Villa d’Este at Tivoli, one of the most important example of the “formal garden” in Renaissance Italy: here we can see wide terracing, articulated aqueduct and marble complex fountains (recently replaced with copies in order preserving them). There are some service buildings, as the two “Limonaie” (the buildings for winter protection of citrus trees), which are relevant example of that kind of eighteenth-century architecture. The research project focused on these buildings and feasibility studies will be conducted to re-design one of the “Limonaia”, to create a new museum space for the fountains that are now located in a storage.

San Gimignano Towers

Scientific Coordinator Luca Giorgi Address Sede di Restauro Via P. A. Micheli, 8 Firenze Research Group Head researchers Luca Giorgi Pietro Matracchi Research Fellow Alessia Nobile Contract Researchers Francesca Venturini Francesca Zanetti

The RiSEM project was financed by PAR FAS REGIONE TOSCANA. The Civil Engineering and Environmental Department (project coordinator Gianni Bartoli), the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication of the University of Florence, the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Siena and the Municipality of San Gimignano, all participate in the project. They have set as their objective investigating, analysing and diagnosing the techniques which would define (even in an expeditious way with non-contact techniques) the seismic risk to the monumental heritage, or even to the collective urban structures of historical interest. San Gimignano was selected as a case study as it represents a unique case in the world panorama regarding the density of towers present in the various structures of the antique centre of town. The study proposes analysing all the towers as they are the monuments most “at risk” in the case of seismic events and because of their potential vulnerability to such events. While most have disappeared, the surviving towers are even today a very interesting example of ancient simple but high buildings. The construction is surprising, the method is based on very thick stone masonries and extraordinary mortars, with just a few later exceptions where bricks were used. Equally surprising is the inner space, as rooms are sometimes smaller than the wall thickness. For each of the 14 studied towers, detailed surveys were made on internal and external parts. The survey was carried out with laser scanner and traditional instrumentation. For each tower’s exposed masonries, materials and discontinuities were examined in detail, identifying demolitions and reconstructions that occurred over time. Deformations in vertical and horizontal planes and main cracking phenomena were recorded. Remarkable data on all dimensional and construction features of the medieval towers was obtained.

The structure of Baptistery of Florence The walls as box structures at the base of the dome

The dome of the Baptistery of San Giovanni is the significant precedent of the Brunelleschi dome of Danta Maria del Fiore, which replicates its octagonal plan and angular and intermediate diaphragm walls on each side connecting the dome to the outer shell. The medieval dome has double corner walls and two intermediate diaphragm walls on each side. The lower part of the dome and the surrounding walls were built with stone ashlars in “Pietraforte” sandstone, laid in coursed masonry technique. Above the doors of the attic corridor, the continuity of masonry beds between dome and transverse partitions also extends to the outer wall of the attic. Higher up, where the stone blocks of the dome begin to bend, the coursed masonry of transverse walls is equally inclined in the areas close to the dome, while in the more distant parts has horizontal beds. This is a constructive solution implemented to obtain a masonry box structure, a particular construction technique that gives to the base of the dome greater stiffness. In the dome spring zone, all masonries were thus involved in the stability, improving at the same time the distribution of loads on the underlying structures.

Giotto’s Tower Florence

RESEARCH AGREEMENT Scientific Coordinator Pietro Matracchi Address Sede di Restauro Via P. A. Micheli, 8 Firenze Research Group Head Researchers Luca Giorgi Pietro Matracchi Contract Researcher Elisa Targetti

The bell tower of the Florentine cathedral is one of the most famous monuments in the world. In addition to its artistic and architectural value, one of its characteristics is the exceptional quality of the external marble cladding and of the finishing of the interior ‘Pietraforte’ stone masonry. However, neither the inner structure of the wall nor quality and type of its foundations are known. The bell tower, begun by Giotto in 1334, was continued by Andrea Pisano and completed around 1359 by Francesco Talenti; however, the real points identifying the passage from one building phase to the following one are unknown, nor if this involved differences in the wall structure and the materials working. The research tries for the first time to give an answer through new surveys and instrumental investigations to these questions. This activity is carried out, on behalf of the Opera of Santa Maria del Fiore, by an interdisciplinary group composed of architects restorers, archivists, geologists, geotechnicals, structuralists of several Universities, with the aim of determining the building degree of the seismic vulnerability.

The Section of History of Architecture and the City specializes in architecture, the city and designed landscape in their historical development, from the ancient Mediterranean civilizations to issues of our complex globalised world. Architecture is analysed as a creative expression and cultural activity of societies that produce and need them, modifying them in time. Patrons, artists, building sites, means and instruments of survey and architectural representation are among the issues that are to be taken into account with specific methodologies. Buildings as well as urban spaces, city and land infrastructures, green areas, theories and creativity are among the issues analysed by architectural historians, essential tools to any sound, sustainable and reversible intervention of preservation and promotion of our cultural heritage.

“Di Getto” and “Intagliate Vaults” in the Work of Giuliano da Sangallo

Scientific Coordinator Gianluca Belli

Giorgio Vasari, in the IV chapter of his introduction to the Lives, provides a detailed description of a technique for “di getto” vaults, largely in use during antiquity. He credits Giuliano da Sangallo with restoring this technique to life, and with bringing it from Rome to Florence. In Florence, this technique is documented already in the 1470s to build more antiquo the dome of the tribune in the Santissima Annunziata. It then became a more common practice than one might think. Giuliano, in particular, uses it in different contexts and with different modalities, in some cases associated with stucco ornamentation of the intradoses. Giuliano employed white stucco on various occasions, directly spreading it on intradoses, or realising stucco decoration together with the casting of concrete vaults through an impressed layer of mouldable material placed on the centrings. The analysis of the vaults in palazzo Scala, in palazzo Ximenes da Sangallo – where Giuliano and Antonio il Vecchio lived –, in the villa at Poggio a Caiano, and in palazzo della Rovere in Savona allow for a better understanding of execution techniques of these structures and of their decoration. It is astonishing, nevertheless, that Giuliano abandoned the technique that combined structural shell with superficial ornamentation in a sole casting. Technical problems related to the dimensions of the vaults probably induced this separation between structure and ornamentation. Expectedly, 15th and 16th century architectural treatises completely neglect the technique of a sole casting (getto), and in building site praxis only the casting of decorative works survives, connected to a more traditional structure in brick or stone.

History of Architecture and the City

Florence between the Grand Duchy and the Kingdom Urban transformations in the nineteenth century

Scientific Coordinator Gianluca Belli

The 150th anniversary of the proclamation of Florence as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1865) produced a series of new research on the role of the city during the nineteenth century, and in particular on the urban, social and economic transformations triggered off by that institutional role. As part of the celebrations, the exhibition Una capitale e il suo architetto, held at the Archivio di Stato of Florence (February 3-June 6, 2015) was an opportunity to re-evaluate the main episodes of urban policy affecting Florence during the central decades of the century. Another part of the research, on the other hand, concerned the works planned to adapt the ancient urban structure to the new dignity of capital. In fact, the municipal administration of Florence puts the plan of Giuseppe Poggi, concerning the expansion of the city, together with a general urban plan that aims to improve the hygienic conditions and the road layouts within the medieval walls. The forecasts of the plan, characterized by episodic interventions, concern the enlargement and rectification of many roads, the rehabilitation of the Old Market area and the identification of areas for the construction of the new central market and two peripheral markets. The plan will be reduced to a more modest size when, after the transfer of the capital to Rome, Florence can no longer hope to bring it to completion.

Charles Percier and the Drawings of Palazzo Te in Mantua

Scientific Coordinator Amedeo Belluzzi

In 1791, after a sojourn at the French Academy in Rome, Percier returned to Paris. On his journey, he executed hundreds of sketches. The sheets devoted to the Gonzaga villa focus not on the most famous frescoes, but rather on the relation between the architectural space and the decorative scheme, consisting of stuccoes and little painted scenes. Palazzo Te was regarded as a source of ancient compositional motifs, suited to the requirements of the period. Some forty years later, for teaching purposes Percier commenced a large-size sketchbook, characterized by detailed, polychrome illustrations that integrate and revise the early sketches.

History of Architecture and the City

Florence injured

The destruction and reconstruction of the city centre | 1944 -1959

Scientific Coordinators Gianluca Belli Amedeo Belluzzi

The debate that develops around the post-war reconstruction of the centre of Florence is a document of great interest on the cultural trends of Italian society at the time. The vulnus suffered by Florence consists above all in the annihilation of the urban environment of the lungarni, one of the most significant places in the city. Restoration interventions tend to favour single monumental architectures, among which the bridge to Santa Trinita, the Romanesque façade of Santa Stefano al Ponte, a series of medieval towers, leaving in the background not only the minor architecture but many palaces, some of them of great quality. The kind of values that guide reconstruction proposals is also interesting. Bernard Berenson advises to reproduce exactly the external appearance of the destroyed buildings, but freely modifying the interiors. For Gillo Dorfles or Giovanni Michelucci, instead, the mines have provided the opportunity for a new urban structure that reflects the aspirations and hopes of the Italian society out of the war and fascism. The research analysed causes, ways and outcomes of destruction; the heated and extensive debate on how to rebuild; the competition for the reconstruction project; the slow and difficult process that has defined, in an unsatisfactory way, the new image of an essential part of the centre of Florence.

Renaissance Architecture in Florence

Scientific Coordinator Amedeo Belluzzi

Ospedale degli Innocenti The study on the Ospedale degli Innocenti investigates the origins of this institution: its funding, the purchasing of a plot of land for it, the stages of construction in the early 15th century, and the role played by Brunelleschi and the representatives of the Arte di Porta Santa Maria. Villa di Poggio a Caiano New documents and surveys of the structure of the villa at Poggio a Caiano suggest that part of the pre-existent Ambra Villa was incorporated within Lorenzo Il Magnifico’s villa while, based on an analysis of testimonies from the period, the traditional dating of the work is called into question. Villa dei Collazzi Built by the Dini family in the environs of Florence in the late 16th century, the Collazzi Villa vies with the Medici one in terms of monumentality and rich stonework. The attribution of the villa to painter Santi di Tito is based on documentary evidence and on a comparison with other buildings designed by the artist. PUBLICATIONS A.

The Palazzo Vecchio in the 16th Century

Scientific Coordinator Amedeo Belluzzi

The gonfaloniere Soderini in the Palazzo dei Signori In the early 16th century, Palazzo Vecchio became the permanent abode of Piero Soderini, gonfaloniere for life, and of his wife Argentina Malaspina. Their presence brought about a change in the use and very image of the 14th-century palace, which was linked to the hall of the Consiglio Maggiore. The residences of Cosimo I dei Medici and Eleonora di Toledo The first real princely court in Florence was set up in the Palazzo Vecchio from 1540. The fact that Eleanor of Toledo’s apartments display a décor comparable in quality and size to that of Duke Cosimo’s constitutes an unprecedented privilege for a woman in Florence. PUBLICATIONS A.

History of Architecture and the City

Architecture and engineering in Rome (second half of the 20th century)

Scientific Coordinator Alessandro Brodini

Sergio Musumeci and Francesco Palpacelli, colleagues and friends Sergio Musmeci (1925-1981) was one of the most important XXth century Italian architects who aimed at overcoming the clear division between architecture and civil engineering. Documents and drawings held in his archive (Maxxi Museum, Rome) allow us to study both his theoretical research, and his projects as bridges and long span structures designer. His wide interests led him to build a professional relationship with other architects, some of which were also close friends. Among them was professor Francesco Palpacelli (1925-1999). As an architect, he designed a lot, but he had little opportunity to build what he had designed. Palpacelli loved contemporary art and, together with his wife, he collected a number of art works from the 1960s and 70s. Their collection was exhibited for the first time in 2015. CONFERENCE A.

History of Architecture and the City

Architecture, art and literature

Gabriele d’Annunzio, the Renaissance and Michelangelo

Scientific Coordinator Alessandro Brodini

During the fifty years of his long career as a poet and a novelist, Gabriele d’Annunzio (1863-1983) was strongly attracted by Renaissance, as we can see both in his writings, and in his houses, where he displayed a lot of photos and plaster casts of famous art works. Less well known is his interest in architecture, even though in his writings he describes a lot of Renaissance buildings that were built in the most important cities (like Florence, Rome or Venice) and in the smaller centres (like Prato, Orvieto or Rimini). Amongst his beloved Renaissance artists, Michelangelo is the most frequently mentioned. We find him in his novels, poems and even quoted in the letters to his lovers. It is however the Vittoriale, d’Annunzio’s last abode, the place where the poet created the “myth” of Michelangelo by displaying some copies of the famous artist’s art works.

Tali m’ebb’io maestri. O Giuliano da San Gallo, il tuo tempio fu misura dell’arte a me che la sua grazia pura mirai caldo del fren vergiliano. La croce greca l’ordine soprano reggea della pacata architettura, spaziandosi in ritmo ogni figura come il bel verso al batter della mano. La cupola dai dodici occhi tondi il bianco-azzurro fregio dei festoni i fiori i frutti gli òvoli i dentelli 1

i dorici pilastri dai profondi solchi eran come nelle mie canzoni fronti sìrime volte ritornelli. (Gabriele d’Annunzio, Prato. VI, in Città del silenzio, 1902)

History of Architecture and the City

Studies on Michelangelo as an architect

Scientific Coordinator Alessandro Brodini

Michelangelo’s architecture in Rome Michelangelo (1575-1564) often claimed that architecture was not “his profession”, even though in his Roman period, and above all by the 1540s, architecture had become almost his only activity. My research focuses on one of the last assignments he received from pope Pius IV, that is the transformation of the Diocletian Baths into the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Here Michelangelo applied a very modern minimalist approach, by working more on the volumes of the building than on the architectural language of the details. In this church and in other Roman buildings, together with bricks and travertine stone, Michelangelo used also other “immaterial materials” such as light, shadow and time.

History of Architecture and the City

Giuseppe Terragni | Album 1925

The Years of his Training between Historical Identity and the Quest for Modernity

Scientific Coordinator Emanuela Ferretti

The disciplinary “statutes” governing the history of contemporary art and architecture include archive sources as leading research tools. It is within this framework that we should view the reopening of the Giuseppe Terragni Archives in Como (2016), which have marked the beginning of a collaborative effort to produce a critical edition of the sketchbook Terragni kept during his study trips to Florence and Rome in the winter of 1925, before discussing his thesis at the Polytechnic of Milan. This plan to develop an edition of the sources has entailed the cataloguing of individual sheets, the identifying of the subjects portrayed, and the drafting of critical essays. An analysis of the themes explored by Terragni in his sketchbook, which will be published for the first time in full (March 2018), reveals an extensive reflection on specific issues pertaining to the architecture of the past: plasticity, stylistic spareness, and chiaroscuro. The present study springs from the scientific project at the basis of the exhibition Michelangelo e il Novecento (Modena, Galleria Civica - Florence, Casa Buonarroti, 2014; E. Ferretti, M. Pierini and P. Ruschi, eds., Silvana, Milan 2014).

History of Architecture and the City

Leonardo da Vinci and Architecture Critical-Historical Research, the Digital Humanities, and Museum Projects

Scientific Coordinator Emanuela Ferretti

Since 2010, the Biblioteca Leonardiana and the Architectural History Department have been working together to catalogue Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings, within the framework of the international project “E-Leo”, Leonardo digitale. An original picture has emerged: Leonardo’s approach is marked by a specific focus on the science of construction, on forms of construction, and on the study of construction details, whereas the artist would appear to have been less interested in the Classical style and in strictly stylistic matters. Hence the collaboration established with the Opificio delle Pietre Dure to study the architecture in The Adoration of the Magi. As regards museum projects, one might mention the interactive “table” developed for the Water Room of the Museo Leonardiano in Vinci and the exhibition at Romorantin, France, which was devoted to the plans for Francis I’s royal palace and featured some model reconstructions. Between 2015 and 2017 these themes were explored within the framework of a new collaboration with the EPHESorbonne-Paris, the CNRS of Marseilles, and the Technische Universität of Berlin, leading up to the international conference “Leonardo and Architecture”, Paris 2019.

History of Architecture and the City

The Renaissance of Water

Art, Architecture and Water Resources in 16th Century Italy

Scientific Coordinator Emanuela Ferretti

What clearly emerges from a study of the architecture of 16th-century Italy is the territorial – as opposed to merely urban – dimension of water-related issues, from both an aesthetic and functional perspective. The demographic boom in big cities went hand in hand with the dichotomy between urban centres and agricultural areas, which largely revolved around the issue of water: water to be contained, channelled, distributed for drinking purposes, preserved for public health, and “shaped” and made the most of in its dynamic quality as a sign of the prince’s liberality. The marble fountains and complex aqueducts built over the course of the 16th century – at first in the microcosm of gardens – represent a significant aspect of a broader policy focusing on public works of this kind, and which also concerns the management of rivers and torrents. The approach to the study of the relation between water and architecture which I developed through my fellowship at Villa I Tatti - The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Study, consisted precisely in this: in addressing the issue of water by examining fountains in relation to the urban context and viewing the patronage of works of this nature within the framework of the broader actions of princes with regard to hydraulic projects, territorial engineering, and the development of urban infrastructures.

‘Homage’ to Leonardo Ricci (1918-1994)

Cinema and Architecture

Scientific Coordinator Corinna Vasić Vatovec

‘Homage’ to Leonardo Ricci (1918-1994) Leonardo Ricci (1918-1994) is an important figure for the research of Corinna Vasić Vatovec. Since Vatovec’s earliest work (Leonardo Ricci “existentialist” architect, Florence 2005), she has been involved in the global recovery of this multi-faceted and complex creative personality. Vatovec has placed emphasis on Ricci’s international culture, his profound debt to his teacher Giovanni Michelucci and the importance of his contributions from the diverse sectors of his activity. These include Ricci’s contributions to architectural and urban design, his hegemonising role in the organic tendencies of Italy during his time; as a painter of the avant-garde from the 1950s to the 1970s, and within a broader and longer-lasting experience in theoretical matters, academic education. In the last years Vatovec has explored some of the lesser studied—or entirely uncharted—problems and thematics of Ricci’s poetics. Cinema and Architecture Corinna Vasić Vatovec has held an interdisciplinary seminar on “cinema and architecture,” between the academic years of 2013 and 2017. The initiative, which has included a series of lectures and conferences by various historians of architecture and cinema, architects, and urbanists, has provided an important occasion for the participants to engage in dialogue. The results of the seminar were very positive given that the scholars’ reports, disseminated as papers, were joined to the student’s projects produced by technical means for images and historical-critical sources for their comments.

The house is the centre of the material and spiritual life of a family in the millenary crossroad land of Ladakh in the Himalayas. The buildings’ solid mass emerges in the vast rocky landscapes. Villages are the only green oasis, irrigated by melting snow in summer. Every house grows in time, it is modified and its parts are demolished and rebuilt until they become part of the barren landscape again, once abandoned. Any domestic space is the indivisible result of nature and local cultures, imbued with symbolic meanings. The immaterial legacy of construction techniques has always been transmitted orally, from one generation of master craftsmen to the next one.

Sacri Monti have an enormous fortune in catholic Europe until the 18th-century, in the Alps as well as in other areas such as Tuscany and the Kingdom of Naples. In 2003 Varallo was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Academics Gianluca Belli Amedeo Belluzzi Mario Bevilacqua Alessandro Brodini Ferruccio Canali Emanuela Ferretti Riccardo Pacciani Corinna Vasic

The publications of the academics of the Section of History of Architecture and the City deal with the wide range of their scholarly research: Italian and Western architecture from the early 15th to our days, the great masters of the Renaissance, from Brunelleschi to Leonardo and Michelangelo, the Baroque and the 18th Century (Bernini, Piranesi), the Italian 19th and 20th century in a wider, international context. In a close confrontation with other great non-western architectural civilizations, research focuses on the temple, the square, the ideal city and the metropolis of advanced capitalism, the political meanings of architecture in early modern society and the totalitarian regimes of the 20th and 21st centuries, the changing concept of cultural heritage and intellectual responsibility and ethics of the architect.

Mitigating the impacts of natural hazards on Cultural Heritage sites, structures, and artefacts

PRIN | Progetto di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale (Research Projects of National Relevance) National Scientific Coordinator Mario De Stefano UNIFI | DIDA Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Valerio Alecci Angelo D’Ambrisi Giulia Misseri Raffaele Nudo Luisa Rovero Marco Tanganelli Partnership UNIFI | DICeA Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Fabio Castelli UNIBO | DICAM Civil, Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering Tomaso Trombetti UNIPI | DESTEC Department of Energy, Systems, Territory, and Construction Engineering Mauro Sassu UNIROMA1 | DISG Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering Franco Bontempi

Italian cultural heritage, one of the most relevant worldwide, with 51 listed sites among the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, is still being lost at an alarming rate, due to either natural or human-induced disasters. MICHe targets the development of new and efficient strategies to protect cultural heritage from different risks. In particular, MICHe proposes new analysis methods, strategies, intervention solutions and management tools to increase the resilience of cultural heritage assets against multiple hazards, like earthquakes, floods, landslides, and fires. An interdisciplinary approach is adopted with the final aim of proposing more efficient multi-risk management policies. The project focuses on specific case studies, selected to encompass the most typical hazards of the Italian territory. Modena Cathedral, Florence city center, S. Miniato hill (FI), urban city walls of Volterra (PI) and the Norman Tower in Craco (MT) will be used to test and validate the proposed strategies and methodologies. The project is grounded in a bottom-up approach, which starts from the stakeholders’ requirements, and aims at solving the real issues and challenges affecting the conservation of cultural heritage. On the one hand, hazard estimation procedure still requires a research effort and thus, significant scientific advancements that can be achieved through a multi-disciplinary research effort. On the other hand, the applicability of already available intervention techniques for built heritage and the effectiveness of hazard prediction chains require a sharing of experiences and fruitful cooperation among professionals involved in the process to make academic research fully effective. As for social and economic impacts, a more robust safety assessment and an enhanced knowledge base of the sites for vthe selected study cases will undoubtedly increase the touristic potential and the social resilience of the analysed sites that will benefit from the adoption of the MICHe innovative approach. To this purpose, MICHe results, including technical reports, scientific papers, tests results and practical recommendations, will be available and accessible through a web portal for five years after the conclusion of the project.

Seismic assessment of the Accademia Museum in Florence Monumental Heritage

Scientific Coordinator Mario De Stefano Address piazza Brunelleschi, 6 Firenze Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Valerio Alecci Giampiero Barbetti Maria T. Cristofaro Angelo D’Ambrisi Mario De Stefano Alessandra La Brusco Valentina Mariani Maria Pianigiani Tommao Rotuno Marco Tanganelli Partnership Università eCampus Francesco Focacci UNIFI | DICEA Grazia Tucci CNR | IVALSA Nicola Macchioni MiBACT | SABAP Firenze-Prato-Pistoia Giuseppe Giorgianni Georisorse Gianfranco Gensini

The seismic assessment of Museums and monumental buildings requires an additional effort to engineers and designers; indeed, before proceeding with the standard analyses, as provided by the current Technical Code (NTC 2008), a careful and detailed preliminary investigation should be pursued, to achieve a satisfactory knowledge of the construction. The mechanical description of complex and historical buildings requires the comprehension of their history, with the consequent changes occurred in each of their components. The seismic assessment of Museum of Academia has been made on the basis of a wide investigation, which lead to reconstruct the architectural and constructive history of the building from its construction to nowadays. A detailed and careful investigation has been made on both masonry walls and timber beams in order to identify the mechanical properties of materials. Three different levels of assessment, respectively named “LV1”, “LV2” and “LV3” by the Italian Code, have been pursued. With the first level of assessment, LV1, the safety index of the building has been found by representing the building through simplified mechanical models. The second level of assessment (LV2) has been pursued by considering possible local collapse mechanisms, related to single portions of the structure. In the third level of assessment (LV3), the global response of the complex to a seismic input compatible to the site hazard has been checked, by representing the whole structure as the sum of the sub-systems found in the previous steps of analysis. This work represents a benchmark in the seismic analysis of monumental buildings in the Italian scenario, since it retraces all the steps of analysis provided by the Code.

Materials and Structures

Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular Buildings Seismic Design

Scientific Coordinator Mario De Stefano Address piazza F. Brunelleschi, 6 Firenze Research Group UNIFI | DIDA Valerio Alecci Mario De Stefano Stefano Galassi Alessandra La Brusco Valentina Mariani Marco Tanganelli Stefania Viti Partnership Università eCampus Fabrizio Comodini UNIFI | DICEA Massimo Lapi Maurizio Orlando

Post-earthquake surveys invariably show that structural irregularity is one of main causes of severe damage and collapse of buildings under strong earthquakes. Structural irregularity is caused by economical, functional, aesthetical-formal factors and it’s impossible to avoid them. The evaluation of the seismic performance of irregular building is a complex operation, especially when this type of structures is an existing one. Existing buildings are the result of several transformations closely connected with the evolution of the building life which can become source of irregularity and damage during a seismic event. They can exhibit irregular seismic response even when they do not present noticeable irregularities, since strength and stiffness eccentricities can be induced by many aspects which are usually neglected. The assessment of seismic performance of irregular buildings is based on a wide knowledge process. All the documents describing the original design and the foundation soil have to be studied and a large number of experimental tests have to be performed to evaluate material mechanical properties. Indeed, the choice about material behaviour and type of performed analysis strongly affects the analytical reproduction of the seismic behaviour of structures and, consequently, their performance prediction. Solely a nonlinear approach can represent a reliable tool for an in-depth assessment of the seismic behaviour of the structure avoiding the risk of too conservative results even if the adoption of nonlinear procedures involves several choices concerning the modelling strategy and the nonlinear behaviour of structural materials that imply a deep awareness of the complexity of the problem and require very qualified staff. Research objectives This research group deals with: • Types of irregularity • Effects on seismic behaviour • Research in the field • European/Italian code specification for irregular buildings • Interventions to mitigate irregularity conditions

The research projects SISMED and SISMED SECOND YEAR come from the collaboration between the departments of Earth Sciences (DST), Architecture (DIDA) and Statistics Information Technology and Applications (DiSIA). The case of the city of Florence Florence has historically been subject of moderate seismic activity. Florence has historically been the subject of moderate seismic activity. In past centuries, eight earthquakes have affected the city with a magnitude between 4 and 5 ML. The most important events that have affected the city have had epicentres in Mugello (in 1542 and 1919), in Impruneta (1895) and in the Valdarno (1770). The Earthquake of 1895 with ML estimated 5.4 and Imax = VII MCS is remembered as “the great earthquake” and represents the strongest earthquake that historically hit the Florentine area. Objective The purpose of SISMED project is to estimate the seismic vulnerability at a large scale of the city of Florence and evaluate the percentage of risk for population. During last years, the Department of Earth Sciences of University of Florence has analysed in detail the geological and geophysical settings of the Firenze underground. These studies have produced a profound knowledge of the seismic hazard, and they have revealed that part of the city is subject to an amplification of the seismic energy, which is due to the geological characteristics of the subsoil. The present project aims to define the effects of seismic amplification on infrastructures and buildings. Today again, we still have an incomplete knowledge of seismic vulnerability of the Florentine building, which is estimated at around 30.000 buildings (data ISTAT 2014). From the first year of SISMED, we know that almost 40% of the total buildings of Firenze were built after 1955. These structures have never suffered the “testing” of an earthquake and most of their were not built according to any anti-seismic regulations. The final objective is the improvement of the statistics reliability of the vulnerability index divided for homogeneous classes with the ambition of delivering the first Map of Urban Seismic Vulnerability of the City of Florence. The impact of such a Map would be large both in terms of seismic risk prevention, urban risk assessment and civil protection decision maker.

Experimental investigation on FRP external systems for the mechanical restoration of RC elements Innovative technologies

The issues of upgrading buildings with structural deficiencies and repairing structures damaged by seismic events determined in recent years a growing interest towards fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Several researches have shown the effectiveness of FRP systems for strengthening of beam-column joints in terms of shear strength and energy dissipation capacity. The overall structural ductility also increases, since the failure mode can be shifted from the joint to the adjacent members. Furthermore, the failure mechanism can be modified from shear to flexure, fulfilling the requirements of modern codes on strength hierarchy. Based on these remarks, an experimental campaign has been developed at the Laboratorio Ufficiale Prove Materiali e Strutture (LPMS) of the DiDA Department, aimed at studying the cyclic response of RC specimens previously damaged and then repaired by carbon fibre wrappings. The research project The project deals with the experimental results of an investigation aimed at studying cyclic response of RC specimens previously damaged and then repaired with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The research involved ten specimens; two of them were tested without any external strengthening material in order to provide a reference for the response of repaired specimens. These latter were tested after a previous damaging procedure and a subsequent repair intervention with CFRP reinforcing systems. The parameters under investigation were the level of initial damage, the strengthening configuration, and the level of axial load. Test results have pointed out effectiveness of the adopted strengthening systems since repaired specimens exhibited better mechanical performances if compared to companion unstrengthened specimens. The FRP materials bonded at critical regions prevented spalling of concrete cover, buckling of longitudinal bars and an excessive damage of concrete, so allowing a greater number of loading cycles with respect to control specimens. This outcome was more evident for specimens repaired by strengthening systems with unidirectional and quadriaxial carbon fibre sheets. Conversely, specimens reinforced by quadriaxial fibre sheets only allowed a better dissipation capacity due to their capacity to oppose shear mechanisms. Concerning the effects of the axial load, specimens which took greater advantage of the adopted reinforcing systems were the ones subjected to the higher value of axial force.

In the field of new concrete constructions the use of pultruded FRP bars in place of conventional steel bars in RC elements is a promising technology, especially for concrete structures subjected to aggressive environments or to electromagnetic fields. Advantages of these materials are their good corrosion resistance, high tensile strength and low weight. However, the intrinsic brittleness of both concrete and FRP materials may induce problems at the ultimate conditions due to premature failure modes; the performance under service loads is a critical issue as well. To investigate response of concrete members reinforced with longitudinal FRP bars without shear reinforcement, an experimental program has been developed at the Laboratorio Ufficiale Prove Materiali e Strutture – LPMS of the DIDA Department. Sixteen specimens were designed and cast within this project, characterized by different study variables concerning cross section geometry, concrete grade and type of reinforcement. The research project The research project presented herein concerns an experimental campaign aimed at studying flexural response of concrete members without shear reinforcement and longitudinally reinforced with glass or carbon FRP bars (GFRP and CFRP, respectively). The experimental program involved sixteen specimens, conceived according to three main variables: the cross section geometry, the compressive strength of concrete and the type of reinforcement. Response of FRP-reinforced specimens has been compared to that of control specimens reinforced with conventional steel bars. Results of tests pointed out the following aspects: • Specimens reinforced with FRP bars behaved according to a nearly bilinear relationship characterizing the uncracked and the cracked phases. • FRP-reinforced specimens of the series 1 (shallow cross section) failed all in flexure. Corresponding control specimens, reinforced with steel bars, behaved according to a ductile response until failure. • FRP-reinforced specimens of the series 2 (deep cross section) experienced an early collapse due to shear. Control specimens behaved according to a ductile behaviour. • Under load levels representing both the service and the ultimate conditions, FRP-reinforced specimens always exhibited deeper cracks and larger crack spacing than the control specimens reinforced with steel bars.

Latin America, and particularly Central America, suffer from a very strong territorial disintegration, both in terms of built habitat and economic and social points of view. In particular, Colombia is in a post-conflict process and urgently needs to reconstruct these differences, with particular attention to the city-country relationship and the housing condition of desplazados. In this process, many studies and projects are in progress, to which the research described here is linked, to identify low-cost housing solutions, through the recovery of the ancient construction techniques, such as earth constructions and those in bamboo. The research started from the study of these traditions, concentrated for the bamboo in the area of the Eje Cafetero of the Department of Caldas, and for the earth constructions in the Department of Santander. The Universities Colombian partners are the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Manizales) and the Universidad Industrial de Santander with the Universidad Santo Tomás, both in Bucaramanga. Research objectives The objective of the research is the constructive, functional and mechanical validation of a single-family, low-cost house prototype, in earth and bamboo, for the objectives of the Colombian post-conflict peace process. Phases • Study in technical literature about the materials and construction techniques, concentrated in the Departments of Caldas and Santander, and their historical use; • Architectural project of a single-family house in reinforced adobe and bamboo; • Tests campaign in the laboratory on the earth material, on bamboo material, on related structural elements, and on a prototype of adobe panel bordered with a bamboo grid, using natural fibres such as rhododendron and yuta for the connections between the bamboo beams (Materials and Structures Laboratory of Architectural universities Departments in Florence, Manizales, Bucaramanga); • Architectural project of an human settlement (asentamiento humano), contextualized in the Camino Real of Baricharaara-Guane.

The research, which began in 2003, is in the general idea of studying the contaminations between the European historical constructive techniques and Latin America. Particularly referred to the construction technique of the bóvedas catalanas, which dates back to the XIV century, they had the most important interpreter in Antoni Gaudì. And it was precisely in Gaudì that Ricardo Porro, Vittorio Garatti and Roberto Gottardi were inspired, when, in 1962, he designed, on the recommendation of Fidel Castro Ruz, Las Esculeas de Arte de Cubanacàn. This splendid architecture, never completely finished, remains the best example of the use of this construction technique in Latin America. They are still in a situation of strong decay, although a timid restoration was done by the Cuban government (2003-2011). The research is carried out in collaboration with the Minister of Culture of Cuba and with Universidad de La Habana and with Instituto Tecnólogico José Antonio EchevarrÍa de La Habana. Research objectives The research, which is still ongoing, aimed at finalizing the revitalisation, recovery, restoration and consolidation of the five Schools, each one dedicated to an Art: Ballet, Theatre, Dance, Music, Plastic Art. Phases • Knowledge of the story, of the territory and of the problem; • Field survey work; • Sharing results in progress with local communities; • Project and post monitoring.

Masonry Arches with CFRP Reinforcements: a numerical method Innovative technology

Research Group Tommaso Rotunno Mario Fagone Silvia Briccoli Bati Address piazza Brunelleschi, 6 Firenze Collaborator Angela Soraci

Recent decades have seen a considerable increase in the use of composite materials such as Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips to reinforce masonry structures. As is well known, proper analysis of masonry structures with CFRP reinforcements requires the processing of complex non-linear relations and the identification of mechanical parameters, which are often extremely difficult to determine by experimental tests. At the same time, in normal practice these composite materials are applied to masonry structures according to the results obtained by simplified models. For instance, technicians involved in the strengthening of an arch using CFRP strips generally needs a simple calculation tool, designed to predict solely the failure load and corresponding mechanism. It is precisely for this reason that limit analysis represents a useful approach, as it involves common computational tools and requires the determination of only a limited number of mechanical parameters. J. Heyman is the leading proponent of the use of limit analysis on unreinforced masonry arches. Livesley was the first to apply limit analysis theory to unreinforced masonry structures by modelling them as rigid blocks and using the static approach and linear programming. An ample body of literature, by various researchers, exists, regarding the application of limit analysis to the study of masonry structures reinforced with CFRP strips. The key aspect characterizing masonry structures strengthened with CFRP strips is the capacity that they acquire to bear tensile stresses. Therefore, the structural behaviour of an arch reinforced with CFRP strips is completely different from that of an unreinforced arch: the presence of the reinforcement profoundly changes both the value of collapse load and especially the corresponding failure mechanism. Unreinforced masonry arches generally collapse primarily by the opening of four hinges, or five in symmetrical arches. Instead, masonry arches with CFRP strips bonded on their intrados may collapse due to different local mechanisms: hinged modes; masonry crushing; debonding or peeling of the CFRP reinforcement; sliding; CFRP rupture. Project This research presents a numerical procedure able to predict the failure load and the corresponding collapse mechanism of CFRP-reinforced masonry arches. The collapse load is evaluated using limit analysis by the lower bound approach applied to a rigid-block model. The feasible domain of the static variables is defined by imposing equilibrium conditions and taking in account only the local collapse mechanisms, i.e. hinged modes, masonry crushing, debonding and peeling of the CFRP reinforcement. These mechanisms can be modelled, in an approximated way, under the assumption of rigid-plastic behaviour of the mortar joints and of the voussoir-CFRP interface. In doing so, the treatment of brittle phenomena of these interfaces is precluded and, consequently, the collapse load can be overestimated. However, as will be seen, the predictions of the numerical model compare well with the experimental data obtained by laboratory tests performed at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence.

The St. John Hospital is located in a strategic position in the Old City of Jerusalem, between the King David street and the suq spine; therefore, even if located in the Christian Quarter, it is close to the other three quarters: Muslim, Jewish and Armenian. In spite of its strategic position, the building is nowadays largely underutilised since currently partially serves as storage for the adjacent shops. The St. John Hospital was significantly changed over time, even through heavy demolition interventions. At present it looks like an irregular volume both in height and in plan, covered by ten groin vaults resting on very stocky pillars. In view of its historical significance, its architectonics features and its strategic position in the heart of the old city, UNESCO has included the St. John Hospital in a list of buildings subjected to “Adaptive reuse projects�. These project profiles include architectural surveys and structural analysis at different scale and an early assessment of the structural condition, mainly aimed at the evaluation of the possible reuse options. In particular, conservation interventions have been recommended for the St. John Hospital, in order to preserve, reinforce and restore the structures of the building. A possible strengthening technique of vaulted structural systems, already partly standardized, consists in bonding Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) sheets at extrados. CFRP sheets have become very widespread technique for the reinforcement of masonry structural elements. These light strips are able to improve the structural capacity and to reduce seismic vulnerability of masonry buildings, providing tensile strength, feasibility and versatility in application and corrosion resistance. At least as far as author’s knowledge, although this technique of intervention is recommended, experimental investigations in the literature refer to unreinforced groin vaults and very few verify experimentally the effectiveness of this strengthening technique.

Project This research is a study of the structural behaviour of the vaulted system of St. John Hospital by an appropriate experimental investigation carried out on a representative 1:5 scale groin vault, built with materials and construction techniques similar to those of the real building. The load bearing capacity and the collapse mechanisms of the scale model, resulting from a combination of a constant vertical load and a cyclic horizontal load (to simulate a seismic action), are determined from the experimental analysis. Bearing in mind that retrofitting and reinforcement interventions are often required on damaged structural elements, the damaged scale model was strengthened and tested using the same combination of vertical and horizontal load, in order to verify the effectiveness of the considered CFRP strengthening system. The scale model and the tests were performed at the “Laboratorio Ufficiale Prove Materiali e Strutture” of the Department of Architecture, University of Florence.

Bond Behavior of FRCM Composites for Strengthening of Masonry Structures Innovative technologies

Scientific Coordinator Luisa Rovero Research Group ICAR 08 - ICAR 09 Valerio Alecci Sara Barducci Mario De Stefano Giulia Misseri Luisa Rovero Gianfranco Stipo Ugo Tonietti ECAMPUS Francesco Focacci UNICAS Luciano Raimondo

In recent years, innovative composite materials with cement-based matrices have been used for structural reinforcement of masonry constructions, overcoming drawbacks associated with polymeric matrices. In fact, fabric-reinforced cementitious matrices (FRCMs) are becoming a viable alternative to fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) especially for strengthening of historic masonry constructions. Cementitious matrix composites are easy to apply, have a resistance against high temperatures comparable with the support, can be applied to damp surfaces, and have excellent physical–chemical compatibility with the masonry substrates. Furthermore, if compared with FRP composites, FRCM composites permit higher vapour permeability, lower costs, and a complete reversibility of the installation. These qualities assume a major relevance for ancient masonries retrofitting, where both the seismic safety and the conservation criteria need to be met. Although FRCM systems have attracted growing interest in the strengthening of masonry structures, few studies are available on mechanical properties and bond performance, which directly affect the strengthening effectiveness. Experimental investigations have shown that failure mechanisms of FRCM systems concern the fibre–matrix interface. As bond performance is a key factor in the behaviour of reinforced structures, it is important to deepen the experimental knowledge on fibre-matrix interface behaviour and it to developed appropriate analytical models. Focus of research The research dealt with the following topics: 1. experimental investigation of the bond behaviour of FRCM composites and evaluation of their bond performance when applied to masonry substrates: • comparison among different types of composite materials: - carbon fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (CFRCM) - glass fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (GFRCM) - PBO fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (PBOFRCM) - basalt fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (BFRCM) - basalt fabric reinforced lime mortars (BFRLM) • identification of the parameters that influence the global response of the reinforcement–brick systems, in terms of both maximum load and strain capacity; • comparison among different types of bond tests in therms of procedure and results, with the aim of identifying the most reliable type of test: - Single Shear Test (SST) - Double Shear Test - type A (DST-A) - Double Shear Test - type B (DST-B) - Beam Test (BT) 2. analytical study of the bond behaviour of FRCM composites based on the fracture mechanics approach, with the aim of identifying a bond-slip model calibrated with the experimental data, able to predict the experimental load responses.

Masonry arches are important structural and architectural components of the historical buildings. The load-carrying and seismic capacities of these structures often need to be improved due to the increase of the applied loads and to meet the requirements of the modern codes. Since ancient times, steel profiles placed at the intrados, insertion of steel rebars, cementitious mortar injection, or reinforced concrete elements cast at the intrados or at the extrados were employed for repairing and improving the static and seismic capacity of arches and vaults. In the last two decades, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites were effectively used, as an alternative to traditional techniques, for increasing the load-carrying capacity and the displacement capacity of masonry arches. Furthermore, FRP sheets, applied at intrados or extrados of vaulted structures, demonstrated their effectiveness in preventing the typical four hinges mechanism. Due to the well-known low compatibility between FRP materials and masonry substrate, innovative composites made of a fabric embedded in inorganic mortar (FRCM, Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Mortar - FRLM, Fabric Reinforced Lime Mortar) have been recently proposed as an alternative to FRP composites for strengthening of reinforced masonry structures, especially in case of application on historical and monumental buildings. FRCM composites comply with the principle of reversibility, have a good resistance against high temperatures, can be applied to damp surfaces, permit a good vapour permeability and have a high physical-chemical compatibility with the masonry substrate. For these reasons, there is a great attention towards the use of FRCM composites to strengthen masonry members. Focus of research The research dealt with the following topics: • experimental validation of effectiveness of composite materials applied on masonry structures to increase load bearing capacity and displacement capacity • comparison among different types of composite materials: - carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) - glass fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (GFRCM) - PBO fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (PBOFRCM) - carbon fabric reinforced cementitious mortars (CFRCM) - basalt fabric reinforced lime mortars (BFRLM) • validation of structural analysis for arches reinforced with composite materials. In particular, the arches experimental tested are analysed with the approach of the limit analysis of the collapse mechanisms. For the FRCM strengthened arches the maximum fibres strain has been assumed equal to the maximum strain attained by the fibres during double shear bond tests previously performed, while for the FRP strengthened arches the maximum fibres strain has been assumed equal to the debonding strain evaluated according to the CNR (Italian National Research Council) guidelines. The employed approach allowed to accurately estimate the collapse load of the arches strengthened with FRP material, while the collapse loads of the arches strengthened with FRCM materials evaluated based on the results of the double shear tests underestimate the failure loads of the arches. research map | dida research programs

The city of Florence, whose historic centre has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is known all over the world for its historical and artistic heritage. However, more than half of its buildings was made in the XX century, therefore presenting the typical problems and weaknesses proper of pre-normative “recent” constructions. The XX century buildings population is made both by RC and masonry constructions. This work deals with the seismic assessment of masonry buildings made in Florence after the II world war. In those decades, indeed, a large number of masonry buildings has been made, both as private and public projects. The public interventions, belonging to housing national projects, were aimed at providing homes for needing citizens; they cover a large number of buildings all over the town (over 22’000 buildings, about 15% of the total residential buildings), having similar features and material. In the project, a brief description of the development of the public housing in Florence has been presented, and some building—types have been assumed to represent the public buildings population. The case-study has been represented through different models, in order to consider the different variations experienced by this building type, such as walls arrangement, number of storey, and slight irregularities in plan. The seismic input has been described according to the Italian Code prescriptions, by considering the effective soil stratigraphy, and assuming different hypotheses for the mechanical properties of each layer. The seismic performance of the case-study has been checked by performing a nonlinear static analysis. The results are expressed in terms of seismic performance, defined as the ratio between the seismic capacity and the corresponding demand. The obtained results evidenced the role of both building and soil variability on the seismic assessment of the case-study. Contents The project deals with the seismic performance assessment of urban areas. The analysis is aimed at providing meaningful information regarding the seismic capacity of specific types of residential buildings. The majority of the residential buildings of Florence, indeed, has been made in few decades, therefore presenting similar features. A wide investigation on the main buildings type will provide site-specific fragility curves to use for seismic assessment at urban scale. • Fulfilment of a database referred to the buildings constructed in Florence within public housing interventions; • Increase of the information regarding the seismic performance of the investigated building-classes. The meaningful of the obtained results is related to the quality of the performed buildings classification, which should be detailed enough to account for the specificities of the considered buildings but general enough to cover a significant number of cases; • Assessment of a large number of individual buildings, through the analysis of proper case-studies, representative of buildings classes appositely found; • Assumption of the seismic input considered in the analysis with reference to the National hazard classification for the site of the area; • Editing of a vulnerability map by adopting the hybrid methodological approach, which joints the numerical assessment of the adopted case-studies and the available thematic maps. research map | dida research programs

Mechanical Characterization of Concrete from Existing Buildings Investigation of materials

The research project has as its main objective the seismic evaluation of the Italian building heritage, with particular reference to RC constructions. In this context, the mechanical characterization of concrete is a key moment. A method widely used to estimate mechanical properties of concrete is based on laboratory tests performed on specimens obtained by coring, both in compression (direct) and in tension (indirect – splitting tension test). However, it is known that the strength values obtained from these tests are conditioned by several factors mainly related to the extraction modes, to the concrete quality and to the core dimensions. For this reason many studies, both theoretical and experimental, have been developed to obtain a reliable prediction of the actual concrete strength. Alternatively, non-destructive investigation methods are also widely used. The research group has focused its work on both the destructive and non-destructive tests. Research objectives Italy has a large building heritage mainly consisting of old masonry and RC buildings located in seismic areas. These buildings, realized without specific aseismic measures, have an intrinsic vulnerability against earthquake. As regards the assessment of RC existing buildings, the method of extracting cores is widely used in order to obtain mechanical characteristics of in-situ concrete. Among the developed research project, a sample consisting of 1190 cores belonging to RC public buildings was used; these buildings were subjected, by the Regione Toscana, to a preliminary investigation aimed at assessing the quality of materials, as a part of the Program on Seismic Vulnerability of RC buildings (VSCA, 2004). The investigated buildings were built between the 50s and 80s in areas characterized by the highest seismic risk of the Tuscan territory. In particular, the sample consisted of 896 cores belonging to 134 school buildings, 67 cores belonging to the hospital complex of Sansepolcro (Arezzo) and 227 cores belonging to structures of a secondary school in San Godenzo (Firenze). Diameters of cores varied between 44 mm and 150 mm, as reported in Table 1. All specimens were subjected to compression tests; some of them were subjected to indirect tension and non-destructive tests (SONREB method). Preparation and test procedures were performed by authorized laboratories according to requirements of the current Italian technical code.

Berber and Andalusian timber roof structure in Northern Morocco construction technique and structural behaviour Architectural Heritage

Scientific Coordinator Giacomo Tempesta Address piazza Brunelleschi, 6 Firenze Research Group Stefano Galassi Letizia Dipasquale Luisa Rovero Ugo Tonietti Partnership Nicola Ruggieri Parco Archeologico di Pompei

The most recurrent traditional roofs in the Medina of Chefchaouen are of the double pitched type. These roofs, as can be deduced from observation, on-field surveys as well as from interviews with local master builders (maâlem), are classifiable into two structural categories: the Berber structure and the Andalusian structure. The structural behaviour of the Andalusian roof timber structures surveyed in the Medina of Chefchaouen was analysed in depth. The analysis, carried out using finite element models, has allowed the assessing of the structural behaviour of the structure but also highlighted some weaknesses that are inherent to this building system. These weaknesses are primarily due to the presence of unilateral connection elements which assure efficiency only under specific stress conditions, but also to the lack of efficiency of the connection between load-bearing elements of the roof and the surrounding walls. The detected horizontal displacement of supports explains the cracking pattern that is usually visible at the top of walls just under the level of the gutter. A parametric analysis was performed that reveals that the weaknesses of the system do not present specific criticalities in the geographic context in which the system is developed. Nevertheless, some crucial strengthening interventions are proven to be necessary for assuring that all timber elements can suitably contribute to the overall equilibrium of the structure in the case of an earthquake.

Equilibrium analysis of masonry domes The Eddy-Lévy graphical method Graphical Methods for Historical Architecture

Scientific Coordinator Giacomo Tempesta Address piazza Brunelleschi, 6 Firenze Research Group Stefano Galassi Giulia Misseri Luisa Rovero

Protection of cultural heritage is an essential commitment to future generations for the transmission of People identity and a major challenge for scientific research. Intervention design must pivot on a full understanding of the mechanical behaviour of masonry buildings characterized by various construction techniques and tough to be interpreted and modelled. Inherent heterogeneity and the slight tensile strength indeed induce the non-linear response. The most ancient studies on masonry domes, from Vitruvius, in 25–23 BC, Palladio in 1570, Leon Battista Alberti in 1472, to Scamozzi in 1615, focus on methods for the definition of the geometry and the construction techniques. Regarding specifically structural studies, Huerta in 2008 presented a comprehensive investigation of the historical evolution of theories on vaulted structures. He himself reports that initial studies on dome design are related to the construction of St. Paul Cathedral dome in London authored by Hooke, who first also highlights the analogy between the thrust line of a compressed arch and the shape of an inverted catenary. Bouguer in 1736 conducts the first scientific study on domes, providing a solution for the problem on the best geometry of a dome bearing its own weight. The detected shape corresponds to the rotation of a non-homogeneous catenary, assuming the dome as composed of independent arches of variable thickness. Successively, Bouger focused on the definition of the stress state of a hemispherical masonry dome foreseeing the bi-dimensional nature of the problem, although without providing any solution to it. The contribution of Henry T. Eddy and Maurice Lévy

The 19th century graphic method of Eddy-Lévy is analysed and proposed in an analytical form as an assessment tool for masonry domes. The method determines the neutral hoop that separates the upper part of the dome that behaves as a compressed membrane from the bottom that behaves as independent arches, due to the presence of vertical cracks. This method allows determining a no-tension equilibrated solution, accounting for the natural behaviour of masonry domes of fracturing along meridian planes. Six case studies were investigated, considering spherical and pointed dome, complete, with hole and with hole and lantern. A modified version has been studied to model the biaxial stress of upper part properly through the membrane theory, and compared to the solution obtained by a numeric discrete block model. Limit thickness-to-radius ratio was identified, and a parametric analysis was carried out to investigate the extension of meridian fracture varying dome shape and thickness.

The Borbone constructive system used in Calabria at the end of 1700, consisting of a particular composite structure realized through a timber frame suitably embedded inside masonry walls, used with similar purposes, although in different ways, in other places in the world (especially in seismic regions), can represent, with good reason, the synthesis of scientific knowledge in eighteenth century seismic engineering. The aim of the research is to investigate and evaluate the seismic performance of the structure described above through a comparison between experimental tests, carried out by means of cyclic tests on 1:1 scale models, and the results obtained by the numerical modelling of the mechanical system that is able to interpret the actual contribution of the wooden structure, like that too of the masonry, to the overall stiffness of the wall. In the numerical procedure the masonry infill is modelled by a rigid blocks connected by unilateral elastic contact constraints. A convenient way to define the contact device which links the blocks, through which a mortar joint or dry joint could be simulated, is to consider a set of elastic links, orthogonal to the contact surface between two adjacent blocks, and an additional link, parallel to the interface, through which the shear forces can be transmitted. Reasonable hypotheses can be assumed for the link parallel to the contact surface in order to calibrate both the shear behaviour and the influence of the friction between the blocks. Furthermore the timber frame is modelled by using finite elements with elastic and bilateral behaviour. In the contact interfaces between elements in wood and masonry blocks are again used unilateral contact constraints which take into account the actual contribution of friction.

Two specimens, timber framing with infill masonry frame and empty timber framing, which reproduce the Mileto panel in real scale, were tested at the CNR Ivalsa in Trento according to the UNI EN 12512:2003 “Timber structures – Test methods – Cycling testing of joints made with mechanical fasteners” protocol. The samples were tested with positive and negative horizontal displacements applied at the top of the wooden framing, using an hydraulic actuator with a 500 KN capacity.6A uniformly distributed load (18.7 KN/m) was applied to the models with the aim to replace the self weight of the timber post king truss bearing on the wall of the Bishop’s building. Tests were interrupted at a maximum displacement of around 80 mm, consequence of excessive deformation.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD buried and preserved the Stabian Baths building in the exact configuration which the archaeological excavations carried out in the second half of the 19th century recovered. By combining archaeologists’ studies with the analysis of deformations and cracking pattern due to the 1st century seismic events, in this study numerical models have been formulated which allowed the formation of some hypotheses consistent with the timeline of the events, the damage to as well as the change of the shape and stylistic language of the thermal building. Specifically, through global seismic analyses and kinematic analyses of masonry portions of the “destrictarium� block, it is proven that during the 1st century not only a sole catastrophic earthquake occurred but, at least, two important seismic events took place. The purpose of the research was to identify and parameterise the responsible earthquake by the analysis of seismic effects detectable in the damages and archaeological remains of the masonry walls of the Stabian Baths. The identification of the earthquake and the grading of provoked damages represent a useful knowledge tool that provides information about the vulnerability of ancient buildings and can be suitably used also to safeguard architectural heritage from seismic risk.

The work shows a methodology of investigation that takes into account the fact that the traditional heritage of inner area of Italy is deeply linked to the tradition, territory, environment and materials, including a strong modification process happened in the last decades. Therefore, historical settlements must be evaluated in each individual case or linked to a similar building culture. Firstly, several investigations were conducted on the old village of Sant’Eusanio Forconese, Casentino (L’Aquila), heavily damaged by the 2009 earthquake. Accurate surveys were carried out to analyse local features, in order to define the most appropriate strategies for structural strengthening, and, simultaneously, for the preservation, as much as possible, of architectural heritage. This phenomenological approach is based on the evaluation of different topics: the urban setting and the arrangement of bearing walls; the peculiar constructive technique; the use of buildings: in Casentino is predominant the presence of typical rural buildings or hybrid solution (rural cells converted in dwellings); the aggregate’s changing process; the mechanical structure response; the main damage mechanism encountered or expected. The approach, based on qualitative and quantitative criteria, permit to identify the factors decisive for the design of conservation and consolidation of widespread historical masonry settlements.

Stabilization of perimeter walls of Noh Gonbad mosque Balkh, Afghanistan Monumental Heritage

Scientific Coordinator Ugo Tonietti Address piazza Brunelleschi, 6 Firenze Research Group Arash Boostani Giulia Misseri Luisa Rovero Gianfranco Stipo Ugo Tonietti CNR | ICVBC Fabio Fratini Partnership UNIFI | Dipartimento di Architettura, Italy AKTC | Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Afghanistan DAFA | Délégation Archéologique Française en Afghanistan US Embassy | Embassy of the United States of America, Kabul MoIC | Ministry of Information and Culture, Afghanistan

History & Characteristics The Noh Gonbad mosque, one of the earliest standing monuments of Islamic era in central Asia (II H./ VIII AD century), is located in open country near the old town of Balkh (north Afghanistan). The name Noh Gonbad (nine domes) is derived from the number of masonry domes that once covered the mosque. All the domes, that rested on a system of arcades, bricks made, collapsed, together with most of the arches, after a terrible earthquake in 819 AD. The remaining two great weak arcades were consolidated in a first phase of the Conservation Project completed in 2013. But the particular value that characterizes the architecture of the mosque is the carved gypsum decoration that once covered all the surfaces and still survived in the interior part of the monument. A great part of the decoration is still concealed under one meter and half of debris due to the downfall of the domes. A second conservation phase started in 2016 with the aim to remove the debris and to make the architecture of Noh Gonbad visible, in its original shape and all the extraordinary gypsum decoration hidden underground. The project has to face with the purpose of showing such a masterpiece in its integrity but, in the meantime, needs to guarantee an improvement of the structure that will be more vulnerable to dynamic action if the bearing masonries are deprived of the important constraint provided by the debris that covered the bases of the walls and columns. A great experimental campaign was carried out to define how to consolidate the perimeter walls, made of adobe and rammed earth, now very weak, and to confer to such walls the capacity to face with possible seismic actions. At the same time the challenge is to restore and safeguard the integrity of such fundamental monument, so important for the history of central Asia architecture. Project The main threats for the structure, depending on seismic exposition, are based on damage mechanisms recognized as: • Overturning of the perimeter walls; • Activation of flexional mechanisms in the niches; • Over turning of the columns. Main Intervention consist on masonry consolidation and walls retrofitting by application of compatible composite materials, able to be affective and almost invisible.

History & Characteristics The Noh Gonbad mosque (II h. /VIII AD century) is one of the oldest known monuments of Islam. Its modern name, Noh Gonbad, refers to the nine domes that covered the original structure. These domes believed to collapsed during the terrible 819 AD earthquake, and the walls and columns of the mosque are buried in a more than one and half meter of roof rubble. The mosque squared plan measures twenty-meters per side. Inside, the prayer hall is divided into nine bays - three rows and three aisles - with triple archways. The arches rest on four rounded brick columns at centre and pairs of columns (single at the corners), all made by bricks, that are embedded into the adobe and rammed earth walls. Only the columns and two arches remain today of the interior arcade, while the exterior mud walls have crumbled down in many places. The mosque was richly decorated on the interior with deeply carved decorated patterns (originally painted in the background by lapis blue) covering the capitals, imposts, spandrels and soffits of the arcades. This stucco decoration, although weather-worn, has largely remained and represents a real masterpiece of enormous importance for ancient Central Asian iconography. Project The crack pattern in both the arches revealed the activation of similar mechanisms, certainly determined by the collapse of the domes in ancient times and a recent increase. An immediate intervention did not seem deferrable. The damage pattern, partly dependent on the thrusts present in the structure, could be better justified thinking of dynamic actions (caused by an earthquake). The projected intervention designed as “light” as possible, compatible with the existent materials and the historical building techniques, and where appropriate, distinguishable in relation to the original architecture. And a very delicate issue is the seismic exposure. The consolidation program was based on 3 main steps: a) Consolidating the desperately weak and cracked masonry; b) Controlling the thrusts in the arch and restrict the deformation process; c) Limiting the possible evolution of the mechanisms (considering moderate seismic activity). After tests on materials, a series of experimental test on the effectiveness of the conceived operations tested on a full-scale and a scaled replica arches. Masonry was consolidated by special gypsum grout, by insertion of new gypsum added mortar, and by the reconstruction of destroyed or broken parts with old bricks. FRP composite strips were applied on the extrados of the arches, deeply anchored at the top of the columns with stainless steel bars. For improvement in the mechanical behaviour and also from a spatial point of view the top of the columns with a light truss steel structure connected in order to avoid differential displacements in the supports.

Taking part of the FONDECYT Project “Rediscovering Vernacular Earthquake-resistant Knowledge: Identification and analysis of best practices built in Chilean masonry architectural heritage” (2013-2016) coordinated by the Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, Universidad de Chile, the research project conducted by the DIDA Unit studied the seismic strengthening capacity of San Francisco’s church (XVII century) in Santiago, Chile. The Church of San Francisco is the oldest religious building in use in Chile and an iconic and historical heritage landmark of the capital Santiago. The church, result of joint work between the Spanish and local indigenous people, was built in stone and brick masonry and has been modified by additions and constructive changes since its initial construction in 1586. The building has shown a remarkable resilience, withstanding about 15 destructive earthquakes. As part of the research, a safety assessment of the monument was carried out based on a multi-disciplinary approach. The work involved historical research, archaeological investigations, in-situ surveys, crack pattern analysis, physical and mechanical characterization of materials and multi-level structural analyses. The results highlighted the particularities of the building and the current seismic vulnerabilities in order to provide a robust knowledge basis on which possibly pivoting future consolidation and safeguarding strategies. A complete analysis of San Francisco mechanical behaviour has been carried out using methodologies for the structural evaluation of historical masonry buildings. Research main objective Discover the basis of the structural behaviour of the church. Research steps • Discover the basis of the structural behaviour of the church; • Identification of construction phases; • Study of architectural elements and constructive features; • Mechanical characterization of materials proprieties; • Assessment of crack patterns; • Structural Analysis: Local and Global Response Models.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION The study showed the relationship between the San Francisco church and the original Andean churches according to the striking similarity of architectural features and the cyclopic stonework of walls and their implementation technique. In addition, evidence of direct connections with pre-Columbian building technology, traditionally and inherently anti-seismic, appeared evident during excavations along foundation walls, carried out with archaeological support. The study allowed the identification of key factors that prevented the collapse of the monument, although recurrent damages caused by strong earthquakes occurred: • suitable size ratios of structural and architectural elements; • efficient constructive technique; • efficient transverse connection provided by the wooden beam; • addition of side aisles, operating as buttresses for the original Latin cross plan and use of triangular buttresses in the extrados of the arcades to ensure a better transverse response; • uninterrupted use and maintenance work. Local-level evaluations have provided a robust assessment of the out-of-plane behaviour, identifying some critical situation, but suggesting that vulnerability could be successfully reduced through targeted interventions. Regarding in-plane capacity, the main vulnerability is connected to the transverse response of the church. Global-level evaluations confirmed the prominent by-part response of the church.

The earthquake is one of the most intense actions that a building may have to face during its service life. Of course, it is commonly accepted that the properties of ground motions which will occur in a certain area cannot be exactly foreseen. The seismic input is conventionally assumed, on the basis of the instructions provided by the Technical Code (NTC 2008), based on the site seismic hazard and the soil classification, which is defined after the shear velocity waves of the uppermost 30 meters (vs,30). Anyway, there are cases which do not comply to this approach regarding the seismic input assumption. The first case concerns the soil profiles which do not comply the classification provided by the Code. Together with the vs,30 values, indeed, the soil stratigraphy should comply a number of requirements not always respected. In this case the standard approach provided by the Code cannot be followed, and a Site Response Analysis is required. Another, more discretional, case concerns the opportunity to overestimate the seismic input in the seismic assessment of existing constructions. The classification proposed by NTC 2008, indeed, assumes a large vs30 interval for the B-class soil, which represents the majority of the foundation soils. Since the seismic spectrum provided by Technical Codes is the locus of the maximum accelerations expectable for the assumed soil at the varying of the Period, the largest is the soil-class range, the most overestimated is the assumed acceleration amount. When the seismic assessment of existing buildings is pursued, a too conservative approach in the seismic input definition may be unsuitable, since it leads to reject seismic performance which could be accepted, with a consequent waste of sources. The Site Response Analysis (SRA), consists in “filtering” the time history acceleration defined at the bedrock as a function of the site hazard through a soil profile defined according to the site one. This approach leads to accurately describe the effective soil profile, and to achieve a “customized” seismic input, site-specific and more likely to occur. Main issues • Importance of the soil characterization: main methods for soil investigation • Effects of a site-specific seismic input on the seismic assessment of buildings • Effects of the ground motions selection for dynamic analysis

The research project that develops through the realization of a cycle of films, aims at the investigation and analysis of a period of contemporary architecture through the documentation and the critical re-reading of the work of great professors and Architects who worked in Florence, mainly as teachers of our university, thus contributing both to the formation of students and also as theoretical and inspiring and creators of the architectural production of our years. This means, through the creation of individual, specific audiovisual products, to illustrate, document, re-read and re-propose with autonomous interpretation the didactic, scientific and creative activity. After the films dedicated to GIOVANNI KLAUS KOENIG, ROBERTO SEGONI and MARIO ZAFFAGNINI, in 2016 a fourth film has been made about PIERLUIGI SPADOLINI.

La ricerca condotta Design in questo campo di studi riguarda un raggruppamento di interessi culturali che hanno come matrice generativa la scala minore. Con questo termine, che allude in metafora al sistema tonale

In “A” minor

contrapposto al maggiore, si raccolgono tre aree di indagine sull’architettura caratterizzate da questa condizione. In particolare: a) i centri storici minori e i borghi di eccellenza, come luoghi emblematici, b) gli questions of Architecture spazi urbani minori small e insignificanti nelle dinamiche urbane di scala superiore, c) i manufatti minori rispetto all’architettura, sia nello spazio urbano che nell’ambiente naturalistico e che ne agevolano la fruizione. In queste tre situazioni di minorità si studiano approcci più misurati e discreti rispetto al contesto di riferimento. Nel primo caso il centro storico è minore più per dimensione che per qualità e spessore culturale

SMART HOUSING® is a simplified construction system, made with assembled steel components and high performance technological completions. The external walls have insulation levels (U = 0,24 W/m2K) suitable also for climatic environments and thermal intervals that require high levels of thermo-hygrometric performance. The surface module is 23 m2. A 70 m2 apartment is contained within a 40 ft container and can be set up in 5 days by a team of three people. Designed for emergency interventions or for situations where it is necessary to quickly set up the housing availability as a result of disasters or war, SMART HOUSING ® is also suitable for standard ordinary use to achieve building systems that host communities: campuses, motels, diffused settlement, work housing. It is based on a single type of normalized frame that realizes the vertical structure, a mixed wood / steel covering system, 20 cm external closures with layers of vegetable wool and mineralized wood fibre panels, inner panel in plasterboard and external closure in magnesium plate. The external closure can be completed with screenings in plasticwood, wood or porcelain stoneware. The system envisages different levels of preparation: from the basic model, suitable for low-cost operations requiring immediate availability of the accommodation, up to the most advanced options with full-system plant completion. These include the energy capture systems, the energy flow management system, remote control and the most advanced home technologies.

COSè is a cultural event related to the “Culture of Things” and communicates it using different methods to get each visitor its message. The edition of 2016 was dedicated to rediscovering and rethinking the emotional relationship between people and their objects, beyond consumerism, with a view to achieve a greater awareness. The edition of 2017 was instead dedicated to give values to the work behind the objects. The main goal of the festival is to bring people closer to the “Culture of Things”, and to think on their relationship with them, which it is not always correct. The event aims to introduce the Design approach, starting from children and then reaching the more heterogeneous and broad public as possible. The events are divided into topic areas, the various activities include: exhibitions, workshops, meetings, guided tours and shows. Some of them dedicated specifically to schools, organized in various age groups and others open to all the citizens.

Introduction The 3 year research project PRIN 2015 “Adaptive design and innovation technology for the resilient regeneration of urban districts in climate changes conditions” it is a research project that, through a competitive selection procedure on a national scale, has been co-financed by the Ministry of University and Research (MIUR). The national research group consists of the University of Naples “Federico II”, the Polytechnic of Milan, the University of Florence, the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, the Second University of Naples, the “Mediterranean” University of Reggio Calabria, participating through the components of the departments of Architecture and Urbanism. Research focus (national, local) The general research intends to investigate the applicability of strategic directions and technological and environmental design solutions with consequences on the reduction of exposure to climate risks and socio-economic sustainability through experimental demonstration projects. The research focuses on innovative processes and projects of adaptive regeneration, as an added value for a sustainable and resilient approach to the effects of climate change. Results of the research will be demonstrative projects located in urban contexts with specific critical issues for indicate projections, lines of development, scenarios of innovation, design and systemic experiments. The research unit of University of Florence participates through the Department of Architecture (DIDA) and contributes to the national program with the development of a experimental design project carried out in the territory of the Metropolitan City of Florence, working in particular in those peripheral and marginal urban areas where it is necessary to activate regenerative processes to increase their resilience. The research group of University of Florence intends to develop an experimental requalification project according to an “holistic” approach in which the response to the problems related to climate change are integrated with the themes of social inclusion, the development of urban economies, production widespread energy, advanced mobility. The research takes as its scientific reference scenario the indications on the future of the cities contained in the reports of the major international organizations (UN, EU) and in the Manifesto of the Green Economy for Architecture and Urbanism in Italy, but also wants to incorporate the programmatic objectives of city planning, urban design and architectural planning defined by the regulatory instruments in the area that is indicated as sensible for the design experimentation. 1° YEAR_2016 RESEARCH MAP (FIRST YEAR)

Introduction An international cooperation agreement between the University of Florence, Department of Architecture, and the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil, Departamento de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, started in 2012 leading to a collaboration concerning habitability in risk areas and the requalification of informal urban settlement. In 2013 and 2015 an international research seminar and design workshop were held focussing on typological and technological design strategies for the sustainable requalification and increased resilience of a Brazilian favela. Research focus At the base of the research stands the reality of informal urban settlements growth, followed by the pressing demand of new dwellings and uncontrolled expansion of poor urban areas with sever demographic, social, economic, and environmental effects. The research focuses on one of the most critical favelas of the city of Florianopolis in the State of Santa Catarina. The fieldwork was conducted with the participation of local people through the analysis of the environmental conditions, the relation between the urban settlement and the territory and the “formal city”; building materials and techniques; social structure, work conditions, livelihood economy of the locals’ needs. The study was locally supported, both trough the fieldwork and direct interview by the working group, and by professors and researcher of the Brazilian university and the technical office of the municipality of Florianopolis. The international cooperation and the results of the design research on this specific topic presented in an international contest, have been the occasion for further developing other research and educational activities with other national and international institutions.

Results At the first step (2013) the research design was based on the concept of “infrastructure” as supporting element for the requalification of the urban settlement, capable of providing the essential network services (road network, energy sources, supply and waste disposal network etc.) and the supporting structure for housing. The interventions for the new housing infrastructure of the favela come from the need of building new dwellings, replacing the extremely decay buildings, and dislocating the existing ones which are in the hydrogeological risk areas. The infrastructure considers the realization of only the structural part of the constructive system which is designed with essential safety criteria; this increases the level of resilience of the settlement in relation to the growing hydrogeological risks due to climate change. The significance of the accomplished results has been highlighted by the outcomes of an international contest, getting placed among the 15 finalist projects from a total of 148 proposals from all over the world. At the second step (2015), the research design’s scope was to define a master plan defining rather a process than a product, involving the community and his capacity. The goal is therefore to realized those overall strategies to promote social, economic and environmental development in a sustainability perspective. In particular, the design research aims to solve a series of criticisms and to promote virtuous and self-sustainable processes arising from the community; the design approach focuses on a series of punctual and limited insertions, as connection’s point of an infrastructural network, in order to establish the relationship between the formal and the informal city.

“Coabitare in rete� could nowadays be defined as a reinterpretation of urban settlement features diffused in a large part of the Italian territory, characterized by a network of small local communities. The partnership between DIDA and Publicasa Spa, local authority designate to manage social housing in the administrative areas of Unione dei Comuni Empolese - Valdelsa territory, created the circumstance to start investigate that reinterpretation. From this point on the research project sets its goals in the constitution of a network of innovative housing services, with an integrated management, based on an analysis of the real needs of the inhabitants and developed through a mix of architectural typologies, matching tradition and innovation in social housing experiences, and introducing cohousing models in a public sphere. The initial analysis phase examined the housing needs in the Empolese-Valdelsa area and underlined the complexity of the situation, expressed by the requirements of a new user typology searching for innovative answers to the housing emergency. The principal goal of the research project is to give the Municipality the possibility to satisfy the request of that part of population excluded from the current social housing layout, using tools to support the design process and achieve urban renovation. The research focused also on the existent dichotomy between the actual law system that regulates the social housing sector and the drive for innovation, with the aim to create connection points. In the aim of creating a new housing concept, characterized by sharing options and users mobility to offer a larger range of house typologies, the design process has to enlarge its functional tools introducing cultural and social mediation features to support the management of these new communities. The research promoted also self-construction and self-renovation methodologies: the participation of the inhabitants as the main actors of the process is an answer to their need of belonging to the society, that makes them first owners of their common public heritage. The research lead to a dissemination phase, through publications and participation to conferences, and to an action-research phase, with five elaborated projects and one case study. According to that perspective the housing problem won’t be faced anymore as a simple matter of numbers and persons will regain the centre of the collective housing debate.

Multi-functional and adaptive building envelopes can provide step-change improvements in the energy efficiency and economic value of new and refurbished buildings, while improving the well-being of building occupants. They therefore represent a significant and viable contribution meeting the EU 2020 targets. Innovative façade systems research, finally, opens new scenarios for innovation of envelope systems for nZEB, in the field of technological research. They foreshadow the possibility of experimentation for the future, with the goal to define a general evolution in the way to design, to build and to manage smart buildings future generation. Project SELFIE aims, who involved a construction company owner, companies producing material and building systems, university and national research centres, was to develop novel adaptive envelope systems for nZEB facilitating the exploitation of RES at building scale and simultaneously, to improve indoor environmental quality in non residential buildings. Adaptive envelope have showed a significant technological evolution on last decade thanks to the possibility of integrating smart materials and building management systems. Adaptive façades are able, in fact, to change their architectural configurations and energy features in order to answer in real time to climatic conditions. SELFIE concept is foreseen to be like an adaptive system where it will be possible to integrate modular components developed with smart materials, to produce renewable energy, reducing the total thermal value of the envelope and increasing building energy and environmental performances.

Oltre Bambè

Energy and functional renovation of Primary School buildings in Lucca

Scientific Coordinator Paola Gallo Technical Coordinator Rosa Romano Research Group Simone Secchi Gianfranco Cellai Alessandra Donato Alfredo Di Zenzo Rosa Romano Antonia Sore Partner Comune di Lucca Years 2015-2017 Budget 15.000 € Keywords Sustainable Schools, Energy Saving, Deep Renovation, Energy Analysis

Poster presents teaching methodology, research results and didactic experience developed on Oltre Bampè research, financed by Lucca’s Municipality, which focus on deep renovation of school buildings, located in Med Area. Seminar goal was to promote the challenges of sustainability and retrofitting, developing a new design approach and new professional skills for the architect of the future who will be called to work in these design areas. During Seminar students analysed three schools case studies provided by the of Lucca’s Municipality Public Administration (LU), which has supported academic work, offering the opportunity of real projects developments of deep building renovation. Projects outcomes were innovative design solutions that could be replicated on other school buildings retrofitting projects. Work developed during the seminar was linked to specific geographical,economic, cultural and social condition of Europe’s School Buildings stock targeting in particular EU Energy Efficiency Performance Building directives focusing the build towards Nearly Zero Energy Buildings new generations. Project excellent results developed and obtained during Seminar activities, showed how theory applied to design phase development, led students to re-think project approach on the basis of environmental thinking, assessing architectural composition, formal and technological choices; a new professional awareness which is independent of the simple aesthetic and dimensional results. In addition, the possibility of verifying technological solutions through the use of appropriate software and the constant reference to Environmental Control Techniques disciplines, allow young architects to understand the need to combine creative design phases with quantitative validation ones. Therefore, effective and environmentally sustainable technology solutions become closely linked and integrated into architectural design ones, often justified by a cost-benefit analysis indicating students’ sensitivity to issues related to managing costs and maintenance of public assets. Since project concerns school buildings, it was in fact fundamental to reflect on the necessity to adopt materials, systems, components and equipment that guarantee durability and easy maintenance, as well as an excellent level of indoor comfort in both existing and new school spaces.

ADA Project

Home Adaptations for the Autonomy of People with Disabilities

Faedo”, Pisa)

Description The ADA Project is an action-research project promoted and funded by Regione Toscana that aims to ameliorate the quality of living in the home environment of people with severe disability and their caregivers. The project proposes and funds highly personalized interventions of home adaptation and home automation, to overcome or reduce the people-environment conflicts. The ADA Project can be seen as a “common” that promotes collective social well-being, through the activation of cultural processes and its high social and educational impact. This impact can be perceived considering that the ADA Project so far has involved 362 people with severe disability, their families and more than a hundred other people (i.e. physicians, social workers, sociologists, architects, physical therapists, experts in assistive and home automation technologies, and administrative staff) from three public institutions: Regione Toscana, University of Florence (DIDA) and the National Research Council CNR - Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie per l’Informazione of Pisa. The ADA Project developed in two phases: a pilot phase (2014-2016), performed in two Tuscan Health Areas (Società della Salute “Fiorentina Nord Ovest” and “Pratese”); and a second phase, still ongoing, in all the 34 Tuscan Health Areas. The three main operative stages of the ADA Project are: • the Interdisciplinary Survey, that takes place at the homes of the participants, to define their specific health, social and environmental conditions; • the Technical Consultancy, to suggest personalized home adaptations; • the Evaluation of each case, to allow the comparison of very different conditions in order to orient the distribution of the regional funds to support the home adaptation interventions. The main areas of intervention of the Florence Accessibility Lab to the ADA Project are the development of the general methodological framework of the project, the creations of all its operative tools, and the support to the interdisciplinary activities of the project with its scientific knowledge about accessibility. The book is made of three parts. The first part addresses the general framework of the project and the various aspects of the people-environment relationship: the characteristics and the specific conditions of the main subject of the project, the persons with severe disability; the evolution of the concepts of “disability”, “personal autonomy” and “independent life”; the relationship between home adaptation and the activities performed by the persons with disability and their caregivers. The second part of the book shows the pilot phase of the ADA Project, analysing its goals, the final users, the procedures, the methodological tools, and the various actors involved in the project and the relationship among them; this part also addresses the outcomes of the project, highlighting its successes but also its main limits and some proposals to overcome (or reduce) them. At last, the third part of the book illustrates the development of the ADA Project from its pilot phase to the extension to the entire Tuscan region, addressing how the procedures and operative tools have been adapted to the new goals and challenges of the project and to its wider scope.


The book Il Progetto ADA. Un modello di intervento per l’autonomia domestica delle persone disabili (Milano: Franco Angeli, 2017, pp. 320) covers the ADA Project in all its main aspects.

Description This research project addresses the topic of the urban public space: in short, all the urban spaces, public or of public use, that are freely accessible and usable by everybody. In particular, the research deals with urban residual spaces, often run-down places that are barely usable due to their location, size, morphology and semantic value (i.e. abandoned public spaces, unbuilt areas, residual spaces along watercourses, roads, urban walls, etc.). The general goal of the research is the definition of a theoretical and methodological framework that can help to understand, read and interpret residual spaces to regenerate them for public use. In particular the research project focuses on residual spaces in historical contexts. This further definition of the research scope is related to several reasons. On one side, residual spaces have often been studied in relation to peri-urban and suburban contexts. On the other hand, it is relevant that the residual condition of a space is not necessarily related to its location, but more to its low or lacking relevance in the life of the city and to its weak significance for the inhabitants. In this respect, the residual spaces of a historical centre are not different from the suburban ones: both can have the same effects in terms of social fragility and marginality, as they are both forgotten, inactive, run down places. The specific goals of the research are then linked to the definition of methods and tools for the analysis and interpretation of residual spaces, with the purpose of their regeneration. These goals can be summarised as follows: • to define a methodology to identify urban residual spaces in historical contexts, and to interpret the causes of their residual condition; • to understand the usage patterns, the behaviours and the habits that are produced by introducing liveable micro green spaces (pocket-parks) in the city centre; • to search for viable regeneration strategies of urban residual spaces in historical context; and to test those methods, research tools and design strategies in the UNESCO area of the historical centre of Florence.

One of the outcomes of the research is the book Piccoli Spazi Urbani. Valorizzazione degli spazi residuali in contesti storici e qualità sociale (Liguori, Naples, 2017, pp. 372), that defines a framework to clarify the nature and the meaning of urban residual spaces. The book is structured in three parts. The first one (“Methods and scenarios”) frames the research topic. This part is a first attempt to deal with urban public spaces and their inhabitants usage patterns and to link them to the main transformation trends of contemporary cities. The topics analysed describe a series of aspects of an extremely complex and continuously changing reality, that shows several issues difficult to be addressed, but that also includes hope, opportunities and positive experiences. The second part (“Urban residual spaces: from issues to resources for the community”) goes to the core of the topic. After a deep historical analysis of the meaning of open spaces, this part starts reflecting on the nature and the meaning of the “residual spaces” concept, describing a method to identify and analyse them. The following chapters of this part make a further step, showing some possible strategies that act on residual spaces to activate urban and social regeneration processes; then, a number of cases of regeneration of residual spaces is described and analysed, highlighting the most relevant and interesting approaches and trends. In the third part (“A case study. Florence and its historical centre”), the framework developed in the previous parts is applied to the Florence UNESCO area, with the implementation of analysis, empirical studies, and methodological tools to read, interpret, and act on its urban residual spaces.

Deep renovation of school buildings Three case studies: Carrara, Vallisneri and Majorana High Schools in Lucca

Scientific Coordinator Marco Sala Technical Coordinator Rosa Romano Research Group Rosa Romano UNIFI | DIDA Mario Sassu Università di Pisa Mario Lucio Puppio Università di Pisa Partner Provincia di Lucca Years 2012-2015 Keywords Sustainable Schools, Energy Saving, Deep renovation, Precast façades

Schools and academic buildings represent 17% of the European building stocks, approximately 12% of average for not-residential energy consumption buildings in Europe. Europe’s school building stock is relatively old, often dilapidated with poor energy performance standards. The European Energy Efficiency Directive (27/2012/EU) provides that, from 1 January 2014, 3% of public buildings should be refurbished every year, under energy efficiency strategies. On this same proposal, the memorandum on schools and kindergartens explicitly mentions that this type of infrastructure should be renovated with a high standard of envelope and roof insulation, installing double-glazing and replacing inefficient or obsolete heating systems. However, to achieve the objectives of the European energy standards legislation we are still too much focused on continental climatic conditions and poorly adapted to Mediterranean ones. In particular, in order to reduce the time and the cost of retrofitting actions and to answer EU energy requirements directives, it is necessary to design and develop new adaptive and precast façades. These technological solutions, in fact, guarantee to regulate the solar radiation in summer and heat losses in winter and to increase natural ventilation and daylighting inside the school buildings located in the Med Area. Research activity shows result of Lucca’s Public Administration collaboration focusing on the revamp project of three schools (Carrara, Vallisneri and Majorana High Schools) chosen as case studies for a responsible retrofitting strategy. In all buildings, innovative envelope systems have been integrated as a dynamic environmental filters regulates airflows, solar radiation and heat flows.

per trasformare anche gli edifici scolastici in edifici ad energia zero, poiché solo progettando e realizzando involucri architettonici altamente prestazionali si riesce a ridurre il fabbisogno di energie fossili per il condizionamento di ambienti che necessitano di un numero frequente di ricambi d’aria e di temperature adeguate per non incidere sul comfort indoor degli utenti. Anche negli edifici scolastici l’involucro dovrà essere pensato come una “pelle”, ovvero come un elemento assimilabile ad un filtro ambientale dinamico, capace non solo di regolare i flussi di calore, radiazione, aria e vapore, ma anche di convertire la radiazione in energia (termica ed elettrica) utilizzabile per il “metabolismo” dell’edificio. Negli edifici scolastici, forse più che in altre categorie di edifici, nel futuro potranno essere sperimentati componenti di involucro che attraverso l’uso delle energie rinnovabili garantiscono il mantenimento ed il controllo dei molteplici fattori che incidono sul comfort indoor, inteso come comfort termico, visivo ed acustico. Alle nostre latitudini geografiche, caratterizzate da un clima temperato, con temperature sempre più elevate nei periodi intermedi, dovranno essere proposte tipologie di chiusure opache e trasparenti capaci di regolare i flussi termici non soltanto nei mesi invernali ma anche e soprattutto in primavera ed autunno, quando le temperature interne negli spazi per la didattica potrebbero diventare problematiche per gli studenti ed i loro insegnanti, e in estate, nella previsione di un utilizzo esteso degli edifici scolastici oltre il calendario scolastico. A tale scopo, assumono particolare importanza le tecnologie che permettono di attenuare i valori massimi di temperatura negli ambienti e ritardare l’immissione di energia termica negli stessi, spostandola verso le ore notturne quando la temperatura dell’aria esterna è ai valori minimi e il fenomeno del reirraggiamento raffredda

La recente direttiva europea in materia di risparmio energetico, la 2010/31, riprendendo nell’articolo 13 comma 2 quanto già previsto dalla 2002/91 Energy Performance Building Directive in merito all’obbligo per gli Stati Membri di adottare misure per migliorare l’efficienza energetica degli edifici che forniscono servizi pubblici a un ampio numero di persone e a esporre negli stessi edifici in luogo chiaramente visibile per il pubblico un attestato di certificazione energetica risalente a non più di dieci anni prima, ricorda nell’art. 28 comma 1, che entro il 9 gennaio 2013, tutti gli Stati membri devono varare politiche nazionali inerenti la ricerca e lo sviluppo tecnologico che permettano di realizzare dal 31 dicembre 2018 edifici di nuova costruzione occupati da enti pubblici e di proprietà di questi ultimi che siano ad energia quasi zero (art. 9, comma 1, b). Gli obiettivi comunitari in materia di efficienza energetica degli edifici impongono di fatto una riflessione sui modelli tecnologici fino ad ora adottati nella progettazione degli edifici scolastici che non devono più rispondere, in termini di efficienza energetica, solo all’esaustiva normativa nazionale1 ma devono e possono diventare laboratorio per l’adozione di nuove tecnologie che permettano di rendere realmente queste tipologie edilizie esemplari per la collettività in termini di riduzione ed addirittura azzeramento delle emissioni di CO2 dovute alle fasi di costruzione, gestione e dismissione dell’edificio stesso. Le scelte legate alle prestazioni energetiche dell’involucro architettonico diventano, quindi, fondamentali

Anche per gli edifici scolastici possono essere adottate quindi le seguenti strategie per la riduzione dei consumi energetici, gran parte delle quali utilizzabili anche in interventi di riqualificazione: • Regolare l’irraggiamento solare attraverso l’adozione di schermi, pellicole solari assorbenti per le componenti di involucro trasparente; • Prevenire la conduzione di calore aggiungendo isolamento termico all’involucro per incrementare la sua resistenza termica; • Progettare l’edificio in un modo più compatto per ridurre la superficie complessiva, attraverso la quale il calore può essere trasmesso; • Aggiungere barriere al flusso di calore radiativo attraverso, per esempio, la posa di fogli in alluminio dietro i radiatori e usando vetri isolanti ed a bassa emissività come pure isolare i cassonetti delle finestre e delle porte laddove sono presenti avvolgibili esterni; • Utilizzare la massa termica per incrementare l’inerzia termica delle pareti opache dell’edificio, quantificabile in base all’attenuazione (s) dell’ampiezza delle variazioni della temperatura superficiale interna rispetto a quella ambientale esterna, e al ritardo di fase (f ), cioè all’intervallo di tempo con cui le variazioni di

6

temperatura esterna si trasmettono all’interno (ore). Buone prestazioni sono assicurate, sotto questo punto di vista, da pareti opache in grado di fornire come valori orientativi s < 0,05 e f > 8 ore, relativamente a una ipotetica oscillazione sinusoidale della temperatura esterna avente periodo di 24 ore. • Adottare sistemi di riscaldamento a bassa temperatura alimentati da caldaie ad alta efficienza energetica o pompe di calore alimentate da pannelli solari termici, sonde geotermiche o combustibile vegetale; • Favorire i ricambi d’aria all’interno degli ambienti per evitare pericolose concentrazioni di CO2 adottando soluzioni d’involucro che permettano un ricambio continuo attraverso l’apertura controllata degli infissi e eventualmente una corretta integrazione di scambiatori di calore a piastre che garantiscono di recuperare nei mesi invernali il calore dell’aria in uscita per ridurre i consumi energetici per il riscaldamento.

L’Ampliamento del Liceo Scientifico Majorana a Capannori (Lucca) L’ampliamento del Liceo Scientifico Majorana può essere letto come l’efficace contributo

dato da un’Amministrazione Pubblica Italiana, la Provincia di Lucca che è stata committente e progettista dell’opera, alla promozione di un nuovo modo di gestire il patrimonio scolastico, finalizzata al contenimento dei consumi energetici ed alla realizzazione di nuovi edifici che per le scelte tecnologiche ed impiantistiche adottate diventano esemplari nel variegato panorama di esperienze nazionali, dove spesso l’emergenza di intervenire per rispondere ad esigenze prevalentemente funzionali non lascia il tempo per sviluppare progetti realmente efficaci in termini di sostenibilità ed impatto ambientale. L’ampliamento del Liceo Scientifico Majorana, otto aule più spazi di connessione, si è reso necessario al fine di rispondere ad una domanda crescente di spazi, mantenendo adeguato l’edificio esistente agli standard edilizi previsti per l’edilizia scolastica dalla norma contenuta nel Decreto Ministeriale 18 dicembre 19752. L’intervento, può essere considerato, quindi, come il primo di una serie di realizzazioni che attualmente3 la Provincia di Lucca ha avviato per ridurre i consumi energetici degli edifici scolastici di sua competenza. Il nuovo corpo di fabbrica è stato pensato come un volume di due piani, collegato al vec-

chio edificio da una serra bioclimatica che ospiterà il vano ascensore ed un blocco servizi, mentre le scale saranno collocate in un volume posto in prossimità del fronte ovest. La serra è stata concepita come il nuovo ingresso dell’edificio scolastico, attualmente collocato sul fronte ovest del vecchio corpo di fabbrica; i tamponamenti opachi verticali del blocco servizi saranno realizzati con mattoni pieni così da funzionare come massa di accumulo nei mesi invernali: caratterizzati da una massa superficiale elevata assorbiranno il calore della radiazione solare incidente, rilasciandolo poi all’interno dell’ambiente nelle ore più fredde della giornata contribuendo così a ridurre il fabbisogno energetico per la sua climatizzazione. Per incrementare i contributi solari passivi le aule sono state orientate tutte a sud collocando in corrispondenza del fronte nord gli spazi da destinare ai collegamenti orizzontali. In questo modo è stato possibile isolare il prospetto nord, soggetto a maggiori dispersioni termiche, e massimizzare l’illuminazione naturale all’interno delle aule con un notevole incremento dei guadagni solari passivi. Per realizzare gli elementi di separazione degli spazi interni sono state utilizzate pareti assem-

blate a secco con interposto isolante in lana di roccia così da garantire un adeguato livello di isolamento acustico tra uno spazio e l’altro. La scelta di adottare partizioni leggere nasce dalla volontà di garantire nel tempo la flessibilità degli spazi, che potranno essere articolati in relazioni alle reali esigenze della scuola. L’opera sarà realizzata in due lotti funzionali successivi, il primo dei quali si è concluso con la realizzazione del piano terra nel febbraio del 2011. Con il primo lotto sono state costruite le prime quattro aule del piano terra per una superficie totale di m2 280,00, nel secondo lotto saranno invece realizzate le rimanenti aule del piano primo, la copertura, il corpo scale e la serra di raccordo tra vecchio e nuovo edificio. Linearità costruttiva e scelta di soluzioni preassemblate e prefabbricate per la realizzazione dei tamponamenti, dei solai e delle partizioni interne, unite a buona qualità esecutiva, hanno consentito di realizzare l’opera con un budget di circa 1.000,00 euro a m2, nel pieno rispetto del tempo e dei limiti economici di partenza.

Materiali, tecnologie e sistemi innovativi ed ecocompatibili L’edificio è caratterizzato da un involucro opaco altamente prestazionale, con ampie superfici

vetrate orientate a sud e una facciata ventilata in doghe di alluminio adottata nei fronti est, nord e ovest. Tutti gli elementi strutturali, in cemento armato, sono stati rivestiti con 8,00 cm di isolante in lana di roccia per limitare i ponti termici che potevano formarsi in loro prossimità. L’involucro opaco è stato realizzato con una soluzione del tipo a facciata ventilata in doghe di alluminio, caratterizzata dalla realizzazione della muratura interna con blocchi preassemblati costituiti da due elementi in laterizio ed interposto isolante termico in polistirene ad alta densità. Questa scelta tecnologica ha permesso di raggiungere elevate prestazioni in termini di trasmittanza termica (0, 26 W/m2K) e sfasamento (0.05) ed inerzia termica (– 6,55 h.), riducendo la trasmissione di calore dall’interno dell’edificio verso l’esterno nei mesi invernali ed evitando il surriscaldamento degli ambienti confinati nei mesi estivi. La scelta di adottare degli elementi in laterizio preassemblato ha permesso di ridurre i tempi di messa in opera, nonostante in una fase iniziale il direttore dei lavori abbia dovuto seguire costantemente le fasi di montaggio per evitare che venissero compiuti errori nell’assemblaggio dei blocchi che potessero pregiudicare le prestazioni ener-

Tutte le aperture del fronte sud sono state realizzate con telaio a taglio termico e vetro camera basso emissivo, dotato di pellicola assorbente ai raggi solari e con prestazioni di isolamento acustico di 50 dB. Gli infissi, quadripartiti orizzontalmente e tripartiti verticalmente, sono caratterizzati dalla presenza di un’anta centrale apribile a battente ed a vasistas ed hanno un valore di trasmittanza termica pari 1,2 W/m2K; garantiscono una buona protezione alla radiazione solare incidente nei mesi più caldi grazie alla presenza dell’aggetto orizzontale esterno e della pellicola assorbente posta in corrispondenza della superficie trasparente esterna.

getiche dell’involucro, come ad esempio l’inversione degli spessori e l’errata collocazione dell’isolante in corrispondenza degli elementi strutturali (fig. 6). Come precedentemente ricordato anche i solai sono stati realizzati con elementi prefabbricati scegliendo le seguenti soluzioni: • Solaio contro-terra isolato e addossato ad un vespaio areato realizzato con cupolex di polistirene riciclato. La prestazione raggiunta in

termini di trasmittanza termica di questo elemento di chiusura orizzontale è di 0,28 W/m2K e la scelta di adottare un vespaio areato ne incrementerà le prestazioni nei mesi estivi evitando pericolosi fenomeni di umidità di risalita. • Solaio di copertura con isolante termico di 12,00 cm di spessore in pannelli di XPS con pelle (massa volumica 38/42 Kg/m3) e finitura esterna in guaina impermeabilizzante, la prestazione energetica della tipologia di solaio

Le soluzioni tecnologiche di involucro proposte rispettano i requisiti relativi all’isolamento acustico degli edifici scolastici così come previsto dal DM 18/12/19754 e dal DPCM 5 dicembre 19975, con il raggiungimento dei seguenti obiettivi: • l’indice del potere fonoisolante delle strutture divisorie interne verticali è di R’w (DM 18/12/1975) 40 dB • l’indice dell’isolamento acustico standardizzato di facciata D2m,nT,w (DPCM 5/12/97 categoria E tab. 2) è di 48 dB

10

• l’indice del livello di isolamento del rumore di calpestio dei solai normalizzato L n,w (DPCM 5/12/97 categoria E tab. 2) è di 58 dB. L’approccio progettuale ha privilegiato tutte quelle scelte finalizzate all’ottenimento di un sistema architettonico capace di interagire con l’ambiente e che, attraverso soluzioni tecnologiche ed impiantistiche semplici, fosse in grado di consentire il controllo delle fluttuazioni interne della temperatura e dell’umidità

11

assicurando buone condizioni di comfort termo igrometrico durante tutto l’arco dell’anno. Uno degli obiettivi principali del progetto per l’ampliamento del Liceo Scientifico Majorana è stato, infatti, quello di garantire che tutte le aule avessero adeguati ricambi d’aria attraverso sistemi di ventilazione naturale. Le aule sono state dotate di infissi che si aprono a battente ed a vasistas verso l’interno, e sono stati integrati dei condotti dedicati alla

ventilazione in corrispondenza delle pareti interne ed esterne perimetrali al corridoio che permettono un ricambio continuo dell’aria ed evitano la concentrazione di CO2 che limita la facoltà di apprendimento, contribuendo al calo di attenzione degli studenti. Nel progetto per le nuove aule del Liceo Majorana tutte le aperture sono state dimensionate per garantire ottimi livelli di illuminazione naturale all’interno degli spazi di lavoro

in modo da ridurre il più possibile il ricorso all’impianto di illuminazione artificiale. Le grandi aperture verticali rendono possibile anche la visione diretta dell’esterno, migliorando la percezione dello spazio da parte dei giovani utenti; questa scelta è stata possibile perché il copro di fabbrica si affaccia verso un’area non edificata, caratterizzata dalla presenza di grandi alberature poste a circa sette metri dalla facciata sud. La dimensione delle aperture e le caratteristiche delle schermature sono state progettate in relazione all’area geografica di progetto. Tutte le superfici trasparenti sono caratterizzate dalla presenza di pellicole assorbenti che permettono di ridurre l’apporto termico della radiazione luminosa garantendo tuttavia una buona e diffusa illuminazione degli spazi interni. L’ottimizzazione dell’uso della luce naturale, verificata in fase progettuale attraverso l’analisi dell’illuminamento sul piano di lavoro effettuata con il software Relux ha, infine, permesso di ridurre i consumi elettrici dell’edificio, limitando il ricorso a fonti luminose artificiali grazie all’adozione di un sistema di controllo dei corpi illuminanti, tutti dotati di lampade a risparmio energetico, che ne permette l’accensione a zone in funzione della luminosità dell’ambiente esterno (figg. 7, 8, 9). Con l’obiettivo di controllare e regolare la radiazione solare incidente sono state integrate nell’involucro schermature, interne ed esterne al fine di favorire la rifrazione diffusa della radiazione solare all’interno delle aule per evitare fenomeni di abbagliamento. È stata prevista una mensola esterna sul fronte sud la cui lunghezza è stata calcolata in funzione dell’inclinazione del raggio solare nei mesi invernali ed estivi così da evitare fenomeni di surriscaldamento e favorire invece l’illuminazione nei mesi invernali. Il nuovo corpo di fabbrica sarà climatizzato nei

13

mesi invernali da un sistema di riscaldamento a pavimento radiante, che garantisce una buona distribuzione del calore a fronte di consumi energetici contenuti; l’impianto è collegato alle caldaie a condensazione che alimentano l’edificio scolastico esistente. Il nuovo edificio destinato ad ospitare le nuove aule del Liceo Scientifico Majorana, caratterizzato dalle scelte tecnologico-costruttive sopra elencate sarà un edificio di classe B, con consumi energetici pari a circa 28 kWh/m2 anno.

Note 1 - Nel DPR 59/2009, art. 4 comma 15, sono introdotti obblighi più restrittivi in materia di trasmittanza termica dell’involucro architettonico ed efficienza dell’impianto di condizionamento. 2 - Decreto Ministeriale 18 dicembre 1975 “Norme tecniche aggiornate relative all’edilizia scolastica, ivi compresi gli indici di funzionalità didattica, edilizia ed urbanistica, da osservarsi nella esecuzione di opere di edilizia scolastica”. 3 - Contemporaneamente la Provincia di Lucca sta ultimando la stesura del Piano Strategico per l’Edilizia scolastica sostenibile ed avviando una serie di interventi per la ristrutturazione energetica di alcuni edifici scolastici tra i quali ricordiamo la ristrutturazione totale di uno dei padiglioni del Liceo Scientifico Vallisneri di Lucca, che sarà caratterizzato dall’adozione di pannelli prefabbricati coibentati prodotti

EXPERIMENTAL PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

DATABASE FACT SHEETS Distrito C, telefóniCa’s HeaDquarters, MaDriD, sPaGna, 2008 Rafael de la-Hoz aRcHitects 2 Il complesso architettonico nasce dall’esigenza di dare nuova collocazione alla società telefonica Spagnola creando un polo urbano che ospiti gli spazi per il lavoro e delle attività ricreative e sociali ad esso connesse. Da questo incipit nasce la conformazione del nuovo insediamento architettonico caratterizzato da sei edifici disposti intorno ad un grande spazio a corte centrale. Il progetto è sviluppato con la volontà di ridurre l’impatto ambientale del nuovo insediamento e si caratterizza per l’uso di sistemi tecnologici prefabbricati e di tecnologie per la produzione di energia da fonti rinnovabili: la copertura ospita il più grande impianto fotovoltaico esistente in Spagna, che produce il 40% dell’energia elettrica necessaria all’edificio. La facciata evanescente, scandita per tutta la superficie da un sistema di schermature a lamelle verticali, è caratterizzata dalla presenza di un doppia pelle realizzata con un nuovo tipo di vetro sviluppato proprio per questo edificio: si tratta di una superficie che risulta trasparente dall’interno e opaca dall’esterno.

Research wants to integrate energetic and seismic refurbishment of existing buildings, especially for schools. Starting from schools energetic and seismic assessment, research aims to investigate the different possible actions in order to simplify design decision making and buildings construction. Main research goal is to create tools for public administrations which are able to integrate structural and energetic strategies, reducing timing and costs from construction assessment. Central research project consist in the analysis and validation of a case study: the Secondary School Raffaello on Pistoia Municipality. Objectives and research product First research objective aims to develop a tool that allows you to easily integrate the energetic and structural approaches in refurbishment buildings process, with particular attention to educational buildings. Therefore research product is a practical tool, aimed to simplify the process of redevelopment of existing buildings, with particular attention to school buildings. Research can be divided in two parts: the first concerns direct analysis on buildings affected by a refurbishment program. Thanks to analysis results, it’s possible to define its performance and critical issues in terms of energy and structural behaviour on which we are going to adopt specific building interventions: the second parts connects these critical issues with building types and the set refurbishment target Therefore it’s possible to define building interventions inside the technical data sheets provided by tool instrument. At this stage we want provide to PA and designers with several possibilities of refurbishment, in accordance with major critical points already analysed under the performance and economic profile. Main goal is to collaborate in retrofitting reduction costs and times process. Secondary objective is to provide a tool: application, in this case the aim is tool validation and diagnostic system through comparison between benefits achieved and standard design process, also providing an integrated refurbishment project on study case. This

Case Study: Raffaello Middle School The application of the integrated guide lines aims to prove, inside a real case, to define a specific refurbishment scenario, without develop a double analysis of buildings.

actions can be useful in the post-project phase: with an integrate project on a scholastic building study funded by Tuscan Region or by the national government within state Agrarian Institute. Scope is to show how the same prototype is adapted each time on different characters of urban farming: when focus will be the creation of new social enterprises in food production and selling, with the involvement of local cooperative, attention will be especially stressed on the productive area; When focus will be enhancing social participation, inclusion and education, attention will be especially stressed on common vegetable garden space, and the dissemination of rural culture. Temporary urban farming will be used to re-define a new role for the three mentioned areas, to reduce local decay increasing their added value.

In 2004 Careggi University Hospital, in the context of an extensive functional reorganization program of its own building heritage, defined a research convention between the Faculty of Architecture (today DIDA) and the Information Engineering Department (DINFO) to create a monitoring lab to support the planning and monitoring of the redevelopment program through ICT systems development. Among the various activities developed by the laboratory in 14 years of cooperation, we illustrate the creation of a suite with which the hospital is managing its building, technological and organizational heritage since 2008. This software, called S.A.C.S.*, has been recently chosen by Regione Toscana to define the entire structural analysis of the regional health building heritage, about maintenance and data collection thematic. The S.A.C.S. system, acronym for Structural Consistency Analysis System, belongs to management systems defined as Computer Aided Facility Management, computerized management methodologies for complex building assets designed to facilitate the actors involved in administration activities. The SACS system, developed in its first version in 2004, manages and supply information about typological-environmental consistencies of the building patrimony of the University Hospital of Careggi by piloting digital maps. S.A.C.S. consists of two main operating suites. The first suite operationally manages the phase of data feeding and implementation, the second one gives the information framework to system’s users in a synoptic or detailed form. The data management suite it’s composed of the IT platform that pilots the digital cartography. The information flow starts from the definition of the single space unit as a basic information unit (record) of the management system. The digital cartographic archive therefore represents the database core, while the geographic-dimensional information are the real data processed by the system. Data are correlated through space unit codes, health organization or activity areas, enabling S.A.C.S. to extract integrated georeferenced information about staff registry, Electro-Medical Equipment, building-technical Asset, components related to energy management systems. Therefore S.A.C.S. is able to extract structured information, correlate it to others coming from external information systems, and create integrated reports. The suite generates a dynamic information flow by exporting data in standard formats such as HTML, DWF, SVG and PDF, ready to be published on the company intranet and consulted with a common web browser. The second suite provides the information on the WEB platform. The module includes three main products which allow the user to have a specific or synoptic view of all information processed by S.A.C.S. through graphical-numerical reporting. SACSWEB interface, through dynamic navigable maps in SVG format, provides information aggregating specific queries such as health organization, use destinations and usage classes. CAREGIS processes information of the whole hospital heritage, and allows the visualization and quantification of data related to external areas, hypogeal connective paths and territorial surfaces typologies. Both CAREGIS and SACSWEB export floor plans in pdf format, published by layer with the semantic definitions attributed by S.A.C.S. Eureka is a search engine: it interrogates the entire information assets of S.A.C.S. and allows specific or organized searches for thematic groups, exportable in graphic format (PDF) or in XLS tables. research map | dida research programs

The research was aimed at checking, developing and specifying goals and design contents of the masterplan of the Pontassieve town for the urban regeneration of about 90,000 square meters of brownfield areas. The area was located along the railway axis, and it had a length of 1.5 kilometres. The intervention comprehended 78,000 m2 of residential surface, 80,000 m3 of productive volume and 30,000 Sm of public area, resulting one of the main interventions in the metropolitan area of Florence. In the first step the main goals and requirements have been defined, and the possible scenarios – in terms of environmental and urban planning - related to the possible choices in the design, have been analysed. As a result, a clever and simple masterplan was prepared, having few main themes, related to as much urban systems, like the planning around Via Aretina, the artificial soil and the railway park. For each urban system, the goals to achieve and the roles to respects have been provided. The masterplan, defined through different multi-disciplinary contributions, proposed even a global view regarding the social and economic development of the area, and it has been adopted as operational experience for the training of the students. The final guidelines “Linee Guida per l’Attuazione delle ex-aree ferroviarie di Pontassieve” have been adopted by the municipality to integrate the existing masterplan.

The Department of Architecture, together with the Foundation “Montelupo Onlus”, has promoted a operative research for the restoration part of the Palazzo Podestarile di Montelupo, whose rooms have been rescued and set up for the staging of the contemporary art show “Materia prima: Leoncillo, Spagnulo, Mainolfi, Cerone, Ducrot”, curated by Marco Tonelli. The research group has developed a staging aimed at evidencing many different issues, like the artists potentiality, the spatial properties of the rooms, the design effectiveness of the global stage, the chromatic theme of the rooms, the suitability of the pedestal materials, the effectiveness of the informational panels. Special attention has been paid to the clay in its chromatic and plastic properties, the theatrical contrast between light and shadow, the role of material in the architectural design and in the space perception. The aim at releasing the space from the material conditioning has brought at developing a basic design for the external staging, made with welded mesh and untreated iron plates, whose red evoked the tones of “Rosso di Montelupo”, i.e. the famous ceramic basin made in the XVI century.

MODELLING and DETAIL DESIGN

Scientific Coordinators Leonardo Zaffi Stefania Viti Research Group Sauro Guarnieri Ciro Perino Simone Ulivieri Ilaria Vannini Francesca Fornari Luciana Bizzini Professional Partner Massimo Viviani

This research focuses on the instrument of the model linked to the development of a creative approach to the detail design. Starting with a didactic experience carried out for some years at the School of Architecture of Florence we address the relationship between two main types of modelling: “physical”, we could say traditional, modelling carried out manually which we have defined as “poor” insofar as it can be achieved with low cost materials, and one which we have defined as “rich”, namely modelling that involves computerized tools and uses sophisticated programmes. This clearly involves an instrumental difference in reasoning and that cannot be attributed to a question of cost, but rather to technological knowhow of the very equipment necessary for the modelling and the knowledge required for its effective use. The didactic experience referred to as a case study is that of the Architecture and Construction Laboratory which, since 2010,integrates the two disciplines of Architectural Technology (Prof. Leonardo Zaffi) and Construction Techniques (Prof. Stefania Viti). The development of the attitudes necessary for the establishment of competitive professionalism in the field of architecture on the international scene is certainly connected to the enhancement of creativity and intuition. The ability to leave and experiment outside the established patterns and traditional construction systems is a factor now universally regarded as strategic for the mindset of new architects. Practicing design through modelling is one of the most potent tools in the learning processes linked to the development of intuition within the scope of construction and detail design. In this context the value of the model is not the “representation” of the design as in the classic case of the scale model of architecture or of solely verifying the design idea, but it becomes the way in which experimenting occurs and through which mental processes are activated and relationships are established with the reality of the process of constructing architecture. The effectiveness of the model however does not necessarily seem to depend on the level and the intrinsic quality of the tools used but rather on the appropriate formulation of the problems and objectives. We can in part observe that intuition and creativity unfold better if students use tools they already have good mastery of, and that are “simple” for this reason. In this sense, we could say that in the educational process there are no “rich” modelling tools or “poor” modelling tools, there is no distance between the two but rather integration and the former, in our opinion, do not make the others obsolete.

“Landscape architecture is the discipline concerned with mankind’s conscious shaping of his external environment. It involves planning, design and management of the landscape to create, maintain, protect and enhance places so as to be both functional, beautiful and sustainable (in every sense of the word), and appropriate to diverse human and ecological needs. […] Over recent decades the discipline has expanded to encompass wider environmental concerns, by combining approaches from the natural sciences and the planning disciplines, developing strategies, methods and techniques for the assessment and amelioration of environmental impacts and also for the treatment of issues associated with sustainability and the conservation of the cultural landscape heritage.” (from ECLAS definition, 2018)

A LAKE FOR ALL

Park&Public Landscapes in the lake environment of Bilancino

The Lake of Bilancino, in the Municipality of Barberino, department of Mugello, is the largest reservoir in Tuscany, which became operational in 1999, to prevent the risk of flooding along the Arno basin upstream of Florence and t o distribute drinking water to the populations of the Florence metropolitan area. This function, until now, has prevented from considering the territory of the Lake as an economic, cultural and ecological resource, available to the populations of Mugello and the Florence area. The project intends to enhance the spectacular landscapes of water and land that surround the lake, improving accessibility and beach uses, now impracticable. The project creates new opportunities for social camping in the most suitable areas of the river Sieve, promotes a sailing activity and canoeing on the lake, creating a nautical club of regional rank. The project connects the settlement system of Barberino with an urban park (Andolaccio) and the ecological corridor of the river Stura, creating a large area for cultural and artistic events, a system of gardens, paths and rest areas for leisure and sports to the open area by the lake. The project creates an Adventure Park, equipped with playgrounds, picnic areas for families, an area for hippotherapy and a farm with educational facilities for children and teenagers. In addition, the project provides for the landscape redevelopment of the naturalistic oasis of Gabbianello, improving the paths and sighting points of the nesting birds.

The project Pistoia Millefiori takes its name from a great value Renaissance tapestry coming from Flanders. Pistoia Millefiori aims to reopen to the city some unbuilt urban areas, once cultivated and flourishing and particularly extended within inside the old city walls and that give to Pistoia the fame of “the city of orchards”. These spaces are currently closed or accessible to a few, this situation has prompted the programme to reactivate and restore them through focused projects and training courses direct to a people with social, mental and/or physical discomfort. As part of the project, the experience of Social Cooperatives that have already carried out courses of accompaniment to the work is essential, as well as the presence of the newborn Landscape Design Lab and, of course, of the participant of a client who is a banking foundation that has always been active in the social issues.

The Partnership Agreement for Italy 2014-2020 adopted by the EC has highlighted the importance for the country’s development of “inner areas”, which include a large number of minor centres, settled in different historical phases and in various regions. The recognition of the inner areas as a “national issue” of strategic importance leads to identify the improvement of regional accessibility as one of the priority axes of intervention, either as a lever of territorial cohesion or a driver of economic development. Moving from these assumptions, a research project by the Research Unit SUP&R, funded by the Fondazione Nazionale delle Comunicazioni, is focused on the “smart” reuse of old railroads now in decline – by mean of innovative services on the line and towards the stations - as the key element for “territory projects” aimed at the enhancement of local territorial capital (heritage, landscape, agriculture, etc.). The territory object of study is Garfagnana, an inner area in Tuscany located on its border with Emilia. The objective of the research project is to set out a model of mobility based on the optimization of the existing railway running in the central valley, that is on the route which collect all traffic flows affecting the area. This shall be accompanied by a complete reorganization of services by road as feeder services to the main route, resultant of a process of public participation. The key elements of the project, that got the endorsement of the Union of the Municipalities of Garfagnana, are: - the study of more affordable operating modes for the railway line, to ensure on one hand an adequate service for locals, and support on the other the development of quality tourism; - the optimization of feeder services by road to the railway stations, that should combine more rational and flexible public transport services with innovative forms of collective or shared transport at low-cost, that see the active involvement of the community, according to the principles of pooling economy; - the development of a smart ICT platform for moving in Garfagnana, to provide citizens with an interactive information tool aimed at facilitating the integrated use of fixed and flexible services, so that to meet the mobility needs of each user.

WATERFRONT URBAN SPACE. Designing for Blue-green Places explores potentialities and emerging issues to strategies and waterside planning and design. The book develops research results and detailed cases of interest in response to city change, to promote sustainable development in a variety of ways. It seeks to include some key waterfront matters in linking new spatial patterns to social dynamics and climate change. It stresses conceptual development and implications for future practice. The book is structuring into two parts: Part One: ‘Advancing Riverfront Transformation’ examines proposals on urban waterfronts and relations between urban spaces and social dynamics to revitalise and re-appropriate urban environment; To restore and define urban form; To re-locate new uses and functions with sustainable design solutions. Part Two: ‘Outlining Blu Green Opportunities’ develops proposals on waterfront urban spaces and places with promotion of sociability and enjoyment, integrating cultural and economic values, health and wellbeing. Specifically, are taken into consideration waterfront landscapes with a great potentiality for regeneration and understanding of project methods and design principles.

New Perspectives and Opportunities

University of Westminster, UK Marion Roberts

Approaches to urban waterfront conservation have been much debated in recent decades. Early schemes focused on leisure and commercial exploitation, however more recently greater attention has been paid to environmental and ecological conditions, historic preservation and human wellbeing. But how do we balance these competing interests and yet ensure sustainable change? How can we preserve identity yet allow for new development? And how do we involve local people? Urban Waterfront and Cultural Heritage: New perspectives and opportunities, aims to provide some answers to these important questions. The book is divided into three parts: Part One - Historic Environment and Waterfront Challenges - provides an overview for regeneration of built and historic environment and awareness of managing and developing historic waterfronts. Part Two - Waterfronts and Industrial Heritage argues for the sustainable reuse of important sites to preserve their character and special identity. Part Three - Waterfront Design Studio and Architectural Education shows the importance of introducing students to the complexities of designing waterfronts for sustainable lifestyles.

The Brick Kiln Penna in Pisciotto – One of the places of the movies inspired by the Camilleri’ novels Despite the numerous rehabilitation projects concerning the ruined Brick kiln and the surrounding landscape, we should let time take its course by modelling and consuming the building. Even if ruined, the Kiln appears as a new architecture, different in its essence from the original shape of which however it certifies the existence, as an autonomous artefact, being an artwork in itself! An artwork which continues both to die and to grow into a new life. We must contemplate the architectural “rest” of the Kiln in its crude utility, as an aesthetic category of the historic landscape, rich in connotations and meanings freed from functional use. The Kiln and its surrounding area are now the space of beauty spreading a special beneficial magic, which overcomes decay, indifference and uniform style. Because giving up beauty is the true misery of nothingness.

MHC [Mapping Hyper-local Communities], academic Spin-Off of the University of Florence, is a cooperative founded in 2012. The mission of MHC is to innovate methodologies and tools for the representation of places through collaborative mapping and collective storytelling, in order to increase the effectiveness of participatory processes applied to planning at different scales. The cooperative is composed of 7 members, all of them architects and urban planners, with a background as researchers in three laboratories of the former Department of urban planning (now DIDA, Department of Architecture) of the University of Florence: LAPEI - Laboratory for ecological transformation of settlements, LARIST – Laboratory for the representation of identity and statute of places, LabPSM – Laboratory city and territory in the south of the world. By the integration of two different research fields – representation and participation – MHC has developed an original approach to the management of community planning processes and to community mapping, by combining Geo-ICT applications with public meetings and events. These techniques are used to encourage interaction among different individual perceptions and different stakeholders and to make visible and understandable the territorial values involved and the consequences of transformative actions under discussion, in order to achieve a more sustainable local development.

Designing the ECO-CITY the shape and the structure

Sustainable Cities Scientific Coordinator Pietro Giorgieri Research Group Francesca Nuti Francesco Alberti Mauro Marinelli Carlo Carbone Arianna Becherucci Partnership UNIFI | DIDA RT | Regione Toscana

In this period, a new interest in urban themes and physical and morphological aspects of the city is growing. More precisely the focus is on “ how“ to built a real and vibrant city. From the recent experiences, we have learned that is necessary to think again about the city made by buildings, streets, squares, parks and gardens. Smart or ecological cities have their own physical structure. This question cannot be reduced to a functional scheme or material element. As written by Aganben (1994)”the structure is the shape”, like in thought Gestalt. The same overall theme of the urban density, that has been considered with suspicion for long time, must be re-evaluated in order to achieve the functional “mixite”, a city with a central core, short distances a from the compact form and an efficient transit system. We need to rethinking the urban project. New attention must be put on the contemporary experiences that show good examples. These can be chosen as the “paradigmatic cases” to compose the new rules that should give more positive solutions than simple prescriptions. In order to achieve this, we must look for a long tradition of urban planning that is richer and more articulated than we usually think. With a new point of view we need to read again the experience of modern age that has been cut off and put too drastically away. Principles (see images below) By the open and inclusive observation of this wide range of experiences we can find many indications and define - although very schematically – some important “principles”: 1. Designing the urban shape and the morphological structure; 2. Organize the city on several levels as a network of small cities with a system of central places; 3. Provide for dense and articulated settlements, including high or medium-density areas; 4. Arrange the complexity of the activities and functions; 5. Plan the city on the basis of an efficient public transport system linking cycle and pedestrian paths; 6. Have a great attention to the open space that is the real essence of the city.

FI_PO: Cycle Super Highway

a grate linear “centrum”of the metropolitan city

Sustainable Mobility Scientific Coordinators Pietro Giorgieri Francesca Nuti Research Group Antonella Fantozzi Arianna Becherucci Partnership UNIFI | DIDA CMF |Metropolitan City of Florence

The main goal of this project is to develop a new cycling highway for extra-urban mobility, just like it happens in other European countries. Being this kind of infrastructure planned to cover distances between 5-20 Km, it looks very appropriate in order to connect Firenze and Prato downtowns (15-19 Km). The new cycle path will have the properties of a large green line with a wide route at least 4 metres in the middle and priorities on other roads. New trees, parking, pedestrian and service areas for cyclists will be located on both sides of the path. The new infrastructure will be closely interconnected with the railway stations along the Florence Prato line and cities, in Sesto fiorentino, Calenzano and Campi Bisenzio. The Main Purposes As the urban system formed from Firenze, Prato, Sesto Fiorentino, Calenzano and Campi Bisenzio looks like a town with about 800,000 inhabitants, this project guidelines suggest the new cycling super road could be a great chance to develop a huge and very important linear park linking every urban pole of the area, contemporary making urban connectivity more efficient. In fact, the cycling highway connects and combines many important public and private functions: different university sites such as Novoli, Scientific Pole of Sesto, Dida of Calenzano and School of Carabinieri; important cultural structures: from the Pecci Museum to the archaeological site of Gonfienti up to the Florence museographic system; various recreational and entertainment facilities, parks and sports centres including the future stadium of Fiorentina football club.

Inhabiting Modernity

Everyday Life and Urban Design in Modernist Mass Housing

UNIVERSITY-FOUNDED RESEARCH PROJECT Scientific Coordinator Giulio Giovannoni Research Group Uzeir Gasimov Maria Elena Muzio Kerstin Schlenker Naief Serrano

Modernist public housing districts pose a major challenge to urban theory. In the course of the 20th century, modernist architecture underwent a process of rise and fall. Until the early 1960s it was the main model of public housing in the West. Later, it was blamed by scholars such as Jane Jacobs, Oscar Newman and Charles Jencks - for being the main cause of the urban crisis that affected of many Western cities. However, the critique of modernism was based on its own fundamental assumption: that social behaviour was easily determinable through the design of space. Many modernist public housing districts in the world have been demolished on the basis of this criticism. Although a correlation between urban space and social behaviour certainly exists, this is much more complex than Jane Jacobs or Oscar Newman imagined. Careful comparative and historical research on these public housing districts can make an essential contribution to urban theory, questioning the credibility of simplistic approaches based on environmental determinism. Such research must be based on socio-anthropological approaches and on the accurate study of the social and symbolic dynamics of space production. The policy implications of this research are of vital importance for planning the upgrading of these neighbourhoods. Main research goals • questioning the dominant paradigm according to which modernist architecture is a failure in terms of social life; • providing an updated literature review on socio-anthropological research on modernist mass housing neighbourhoods; • redefine the spatial policy agenda for the rehabilitation of modernist mass housing districts.

CARITALENTS Project

Inter-University Cooperation Program for the Development of Skills, Innovative Tools and Training Pathways within Youth Policies in the Caribbean Region

COOPERATION PROJECT Scientific Coordinator Raffaele Paloscia Steering Committee Emanuela Benini Sheron Johnson Raffaele Paloscia Francis Severin Gladstone Yearwood Training activities Coordinators Michele Morbidoni (General and Barbados) Simone Spellucci (Dominica) Funded by MAECI Ministero degli affari Esteri e della cooperazione Italiana. AICS Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo

The clear, steady, peaceful water of the Caribbean sea, customary depicted in old postcards or in touristic advertises, doesn’t account properly of the turbid tides and waves which are shaking the human and physical landscape of the Lesser Antilles. Unavoidable social, economic, cultural and natural transformations appear as local echoes of the major impulses of climate change and markets globalisation. In different ways, the islands of Barbados and Dominica share the common duty of keeping the course on that stormy sea made up of threats and opportunities; this by caring of not losing inadvertently the huge treasures hidden by the centuries of a tough history to be safely kept in their territories, nowadays progressively disregarded to forgotten. Deprived of the references provided by the local heritage, the uneasy enhancement of the composite identity of the islands is at risk. Their fault can lead to territorial fragility, cultural impoverishment, economic vulnerability and social disintegration. The breakdown of the legacy affects mainly the younger generations, forced to seek shelter elsewhere or to suffer from disadvantaged living conditions. By co-founding the Caritalents project, the MAECI/Italian Agency for Development Cooperation relied on the interaction between the consolidated tradition in territorial studies of the University of Florence/DIDA/LabPSM and the deep knowledge of the local context and the experience in innovative research of The University of the West Indies/EBCCI experts. The encounter between different cultures was entrusted with the task of engaging the youths of Barbados and Dominica in exploring with a fresh sight the Territorial Heritage of their islands. Through laboratory activities spread across the islands, young people were able to unveil the main resources for innovative ventures directed to the improvement of the quality of life.

This project has been established by members of the Association of Women Architects (ADA - Associazione Donne Architetto), who are self-employed architects or university teachers in the fields of restoration and urban planning. The project (21 March-15 May 2017) involves a collaboration with DIDA (the University of Florence Department of Architecture), the Historical Urban Centres Office of UNESCO, and the Educational Projects Office of the Municipality of Florence. The object of the project is to develop a sensitivity to architectural heritage among primary school children. This will be achieved by reading, story-telling and experimentation in some of Florence’s most characteristic places. The aim will be to create an understanding of the value of public spaces as a common good and of the need to safeguard them. The project concentrates on one particular example of an urban space, namely, Piazza Santa Croce. The programme involves a cycle of four meetings. The first lesson will be introductory and will be held in a classroom equipped with an interactive multimedia whiteboard and animated slides. It will give the children a basic understanding of the issues and encourage them to look at urban spaces and architecture with a fresh point of view. The following meetings will take place directly in the square and will involve the children in discovery and laboratory experimentation.

1. Infrastructure environmental planning and sustainable mobility in Florence metro area The research project is the continuation of the previous research on planning and evaluation of policies and projects at the national level. It is carried out in cooperation with the MOVITALIA program (an observatory on the Major Projects promoted by the so-called “Objective Law”) coordinating relevant studies on the impact of large infrastructures and publishing several reports. Over the recent years, the work has also been aimed at the construction of sustainable mobility scenarios for the Florentine area, towards the metropolitan area plan. Funded since 2012 with UniFI funds. 2. Observatory on territorial laboratories The project represents the continuation of a previous research work carried out within the activities of “Rete del Nuovo Municipio”, until the dissolution of the same. It cooperates with the “Territorial Observatories” promoted by the Territorialist Society, but adds, when necessary, a direct participation in the training or consolidation of already active or nascent laboratories. The research already produced articles and essays, among which it is worth mentioning the forthcoming book The urbanism of reuse: traces of territorial innovation, about to be published by Firenze University Press. Funded with contributions from the Calabria (2010) and Tuscany (2012) Regions, then with agreements with institutions and participants in the laboratories. 3. Permanent workshop for the sustainable development of the Messina Strait area Project promoted in 2014 by groups of lecturers and scholars in the Universities of Reggio Calabria and Messina together with LaPEI, which had already coordinated the studies on the impact of the Strait Bridge project, aims at verifying the potential of local growth scenarios in the Strait Area, based on a sustainable development of the territorial and eco-landscape heritage. The general coordinator is Giuseppe Fera, UNIRC. The first research report was published in the book Lo Stretto in lungo e in largo, edited by Fera together with Alberto Ziparo for the CSUNIRC (2016), with contributions from several members of the research group. Funded so far with UniRC and UniME Funds.

In Italy there should not be any housing problems, nor need of houses. The elaborations from the ISTAT 2011 census data and ensuing datascape (e.g. research projects like “Reuse Italy” and “The recycling Italy”) speak of over eight million underused houses and apartments, about a quarter of the entire Italian housing stock, of which almost five million actually empty or unused. It seems clear that all this, at the different national, regional, local levels, represents an enormous economic and environmental waste. That strengthens the terms of territorial degradation, due to land consumption, irrational overbuilding, instability, pollution and abandonment. The research is aimed at verifying the potential of the recovery and re-use of the territory in terms of social housing and the construction of strategies for integration and widespread hospitality of migrants. Currently, the “Osservatorio sul Disagio Abitativo della Calabria” has been promoted together with a survey on some situations in which the interrelation between local self-sustainable development and reception and integration of migrants is already being implemented. The research is carried out with various associations and groups active on the mentioned issues, with the Department of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Calabria, the Department of Architecture of the “Mediterranean” University of Reggio Calabria and with ONGs like the Territorialist Society.

The interdisciplinary research unit “Urban planning and legality” was launched in 2015 together with experts from the academic community and professionals in the urban planning, journalism, justice, civil society sector and with the contribution of administrators and public security operators. The team aims at building a disciplinary field of reference for doctoral research and graduation thesis, following the example of the research “Territorial governance and the threat of the mafia”, carried on by Andrea Alcalini. The intent of the group is, primarily, to analyse the possible spaces of interaction between the presence of groups linked to organized crime and the practices/policies of territorial governance, investigating the role played by the figures responsible for assessing and checking the legitimacy of actions of territorial governance, assessing the real effectiveness of some prefectural anti-mafia control devices on the sector of construction companies. Equally important is the goal of setting up a new reflection on the issue of local governments put under administration for alleged mafia infiltration, deeply analysing the roles and actual weights of the mafia organizations within the urban planning processes.

DIDA, the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, performed an open and public analysis and evaluation of the scientific research carried out during the first five years of activity since its establishment, in order to define its research strategies, their relationship with the 2nd and 3rd cycle education, the role of experimental research and the system of labs at DIDA (DIDALABS), as well as the role of research units and interuniversity research centers. The aim of the DIDA Research Week Book 2018 is to communicate the results of such research, in all the aspects which were carried out at DIDA during its first five years of activity.
