Paperback. Condition: New. How we deal with land has far-reaching implications for architecture and urban development. The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the privatization of urban land and in speculation. Many European cities that today find themselves under extreme development pressure have virtually no land left to build on. In view of the acute housing shortage, the question of who owns the land is therefore more relevant than ever: To what extent are we able to treat the land as a common good and guard it from the excesses of capitalism?After a number of specialist journals have already addressed the land property issue, this book aims to dig deeper by providing a historical overview spanning an arc from Henry George to the present day. Interviews with stakeholders in global models provide insights into the current handling of the land issue. The book presents outstanding projects based on either a legal or spatial distribution of land and thus makes a valuable contribution to the current discussion on sustainable land policy.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Conegliano, 2024; br., pp. 128, ill., cm 13,5x21. Il carcere è innanzitutto spazio. È costrizione e predeterminazione di comportamenti tradotti in spazio. Nel nostro Paese, questa condizione si dà, molto spesso, in ambienti decadenti, inadeguati e vetusti; il carcere è un luogo fortemente multietnico, dove i conflitti sono compressi e trattenuti, dove la varietà delle figure presenti - dal punto di vista delle provenienze culturali e linguistiche - sembra prefigurare un futuro a venire per le nostre società e per le nostre città. Questo lavoro raccoglie alcune riflessioni che, nel corso del tempo, l'autore ha elaborato in forma di saggi, workshop progettuali e letture del rapporto tra architettura e luoghi di detenzione. Il materiale composito raccolto, se osservato nel suo insieme, si configura come una implicita indagine sul ruolo dei luoghi di detenzione all'interno della città ma anche sulla loro capacità di consentire alla pena di acquisire senso e di assumere un valore dignitoso, produttivo, civile. Il luogo estremo della detenzione è un oggetto insidioso per la cultura architettonica. Il carcere mette alla prova principi, logiche e consuetudini che, al confronto con lo spazio della pena, devono essere ridiscussi. Libro.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Conegliano, 2024; br., pp. 284, ill., cm 15x21. Questo libro assomiglia al territorio e agli spazi urbani che sono oggetto dei lavori presentati. Eterogeneo, vario, molteplice, in questo lavoro vengono raccolte ricerche e progetti che, dal 2014, anno nel quale ho iniziato a insegnare Composizione Architettonica e Urbana presso l'Università degli Studi di Udine, ho sviluppato in un dialogo serrato con le realtà istituzionali e imprenditoriali locali, dialogo che ha prodotto questo insieme di studi e approfondimenti, alcuni ancora in corso, in parte elaborati e coordinati insieme ad Alberto Cervesato. Nel paesaggio frammentario che queste ricerche implicitamente compongono, questioni quali le domande di mobilità, lo stato del patrimonio edilizio e l'accesso alle risorse ambientali, vengono avvicinate, messe a fuoco, elaborate. Si tratta, nell'insieme, di un tentativo che ha cercato e sta cercando di mettere in risonanza i temi della ricerca architettonica contemporanea, con il rumore di fondo di una riflessione che una intera regione sta facendo sul suo futuro e sulle sue risorse. In qualche caso, di questo rumore di fondo, nei disegni e nei progetti presentati, ci sembra di aver intercettato il senso. Libro.…
