MoMoWo - Womenâs Creativity since the Modern Movement: An European Cultural Heritage
Nella prospettiva di svelare quel mondo di donne professioniste del Novecento che hanno avuto un ruolo nellâarchitettura, nel design e nella costruzione, ma che sono rimaste âinvisibiliâ, è nato il progetto âMoMoWo - Womenâs Creativity since the Modern Movement (1918-2018)â co-finanziato dallâUnione Europea (coordinatrici: E. Garda e C. Franchini). Il presente volume riflette la struttura metodologico-operativa di tale progetto che ha guidato i ricercatori e le ricercatrici delle diverse universitĂ e centri di ricerca partner in Europa. Ciò ha reso possibile la creazione di un database per salvaguardare il patrimonio di informazioni emerso nel corso dei quattro anni del progetto.
Nelle descrizioni delle voci del MoMoWo database si palesa lâacuirsi delle specificitĂ della ricerca storica di genere soprattutto negli ambiti dellâarchitettura e della costruzione che sono stati, e in parte restano, prevalentemente di prerogativa maschile. Tale specificitĂ , che si manifesta anche attraverso ostacoli culturali nellâindividuazione e reperimento delle fonti documentarie e archivistiche, prefigura nuove narrazioni a cui aspirare.
Il volume è corredato da allegati e casi studio che sono unâapplicazione operativa del percorso concettuale che lâarricchimento documentale ha via via prodotto. Da esso, si dischiudono prospettive future per delineare, attraverso la raccolta work-in-progress di dati omogenei, genealogie e crono-geografie che restituirebbero alla Storia dellâarchitettura, nelle sue declinazioni, quel grado di complessitĂ necessario al riconoscimento del patrimonio materiale e immateriale europeo tramandatoci dalle progettiste
MoMoWo - Womenâs Creativity since the Modern Movement: An European Cultural Heritage
This book presents the âconceptual architectureâ of the MoMoWo Database for mapping womenâs cultural legacy and heritage in Architecture, Construction and Design, and includes annexes on some of the most significant practices, outputs and deliverables so far achieved, resulting from the cooperative research activity between all MoMoWoâs international partners whom we directed at the Polytechnic of Turin (Polito). A collection of case studies enriches the volume by providing the reader with examples of specific thematic approaches at several geographical scales
Representation Challenges
Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are technological domains that closely interact with space at architectural and urban scale in the broader ambits of cultural heritage and innovative design. The growing interest is perceivable in many fields of knowledge, supported by the rapid development and advancement of theory and application, software and devices, fueling a pervasive phenomenon within our daily lives. These technologies demonstrate to be best exploited when their application and other information and communication technology (ICT) advancements achieve a continuum. In particular, AR defines an alternative path to observe, analyze and communicate space and artifacts. Besides, AI opens future scenarios in data processing, redefining the relationship between man and computer. In the last few years, the AR/AI expansion and relationship have raised deep transdisciplinary speculation. The research experiences have shown many cross-relations in Architecture and Design domains. Representation studies could arise an international debate as a convergence place of multidisciplinary theoretical and applicative contributions related to architecture, city, environment, tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage. This book collects 66 papers and identify eight lines of research that may guide future developments
Advances in Cultural Heritage Studies : Year 2020 : Contributions of the European Studentsâ Association for Cultural Heritage
The announcement of the creation of a European Year of Cultural
Heritage (year 2018) â by the Decision 2017/864 of the European
Parliament â encouraged the creation, in 2017, of the European
Studentsâ Association for Cultural Heritage (ESACH).
ESACH has become the first still-growing interdisciplinary and cross-
-generational network in the field. Currently brings together young
researchers and researchers at early stages of their careers, in the
fields of culture and heritage, from all kinds of academic disciplines
and is made up of members from various European universities and
research centres (see www.esach.org).
Within the network, the main questions are: How do we engage with
the past elements of our culture(s)? How and why do we protect
culture as a genuine element of a contemporary cultural system?
What do younger generations state as heritage and what ways do
they see to safeguard and experience it? ESACH stands up for a
participatory way of involvement and is eager to take part in the
cultural discourse at European and national levels.
Since ESACHSâ foundation, the Portuguese publisher Mazu Press
(www.mazupress.com) has been associated with the initiatives of the
Portuguese branch of ESACH based in Lisbon (Sharing Heritage
Lisbon), firstly with the promotion actions and then with the publication of the book âNew Perspectives in Interdisciplinary Cultural
Heritage Studies. Contributions of the European Studentsâ Association
for Cultural Heritage in the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018â.
In this atypical Covid-19 pandemic year, Mazu Press again invited
ESACH to join the renewed idea of âunifying through Cultural
Heritageâ, creating the opportunity for all to associate their efforts to
this volume of âAdvances in Cultural Heritage Studies, Year 2020â.
Until now, ESACH members have been given the opportunity to
contribute their ideas in several European events organized by the
respective stakeholders, such as the Genoa Meeting, in October
2019, which had the cultural, logistic and financial support of the
University of Genoa and foremost the PhD Course in Study and
Enhancement of the Historical, Artistic-Architectural and Environmental Heritage. This book brings together twenty chapters by twenty four authors
from Canada, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia,
Spain and Turkey.
This sharing of knowledge, culture and heritage studies, through
various disciplines, shows the richness â advances and new perspectives â generated by the common passion for cultural heritage.Mazutech R&D; UniversitĂ di Genova / Scuola di Scienze Umanistiche / Dottorato in Studio e Valorizzazione del Patrimonio Storico, Artistico-Architettonico e Ambientaleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The European Pilgrimage Routes for promoting sustainable and quality tourism in rural areas
The International Conference the European Pilgrimage Routes for promoting sustainable and quality tourism in rural areas took place December 4 to 6, 2014 in Firenze (Italy) and was organized by the Department of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Systems â University of Florence in collaboration with the Tuscany Region, the Department for Life Quality Studies and Department of Agricultural Sciences â University of Bologna, the Italian Association of Agricultural Engineering and the European Association of the Francigena Way. The Conference involving 150 experts from 18 countries and was divided into five areas of discussion: conservation and evolution of the landscape along the routes; life quality and social impact; tourism and local development; sustainability in the rural areas; tools and methods for building a tourist attraction

Intelligence, Creativity and Fantasy
UID/HIS/04666/2019
This is the 2nd volume of PHI series, published by CRC Press, the 4th published by CRC Press and the 5th volume of PHI proceedings.The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) - INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVITY AND FANTASY were compiled with the intent to establish a multidisciplinary platform for the presentation, interaction and dissemination of research. The aim is also to foster the awareness and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design, Engineering, Social and Natural Sciences, and their importance and benefits for the sense of both individual and community identity. The idea of modernity has been a significant motor for development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts.authorsversionpublishe
