The typological plan of Zaragoza for the typological process of the medieval city
Studies on the formation process of building types delineate a long term transition in the form of the city. The findings of the excavations done in Palmyra and Bet Shean have revealed that the transition from the late Roman period to the Umayyad one happened with strong continuity of the built environment (Raymond, 2008). The evolution of building types has been expounded by Caniggia (1979) in Naples as the formation of courtyard houses over the Roman Domus substrata. Meanwhile, no trace of transition from Roman Domus was found in parts of central Italy (including Rome), southern Italy (excluding Naples), and Provence (Petruccioli, 2008). This paper aims to describe the typological process subsistent in the development of medieval Zaragoza with reference to the forces shaping the building blocks and their organization. The city of Zaragoza was founded by Caesar Augustus as a colony after the victory of the Roman Empire in the Cantabrian Wars in 14 BC on the site of an Iberian city named Saldube. In the VIII century, the Roman city was included in the Umayyad caliphate. Previous theoretical reconstructions based on archeological evidence cast the urban tissue of Caesar Augusta into a grid plan with special buildings and courtyard houses as the leading residential type. This study evaluates the territory as a historically identified organism (Strappa, Carlotti, Camiz, 2017) by mounting the individual building survey plans done by Dionisio Casañal y Zapatero for the Geographic and Cadastral Institute of Zaragoza in 1911 into a typological plan in order to individuate the typological process within the medieval city
The Rebasification of the Roman theatre in mediaeval Zaragoza
This study aims to illustrate the formation of the urban tissue over the Roman theatre in the walled core of Zaragoza. Within the scope of the study, the typological plan of the city was prepared using the building surveys taken in 1911, and the plan was interpreted as a historical organism. The basic types in the city are determined, and methods of the process-based typology are used to reveal the formation process of a selected urban tissue that is an example of the rebasification of a specialized building. In this example, a Roman theatre was repurposed as a foundation for constructing residential buildings and affected the formation process of the urban block until its discovery
Motivation Therapy in Children with Primary Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis
Aim: In the present study, socio-demographic characteristics of
routinely followed primary monosymptomatic enuretic cases and
the success rate of simple behavioral therapy were evaluated.
Methods: Questionnaires that inquire the characteristics of
enuresis were conducted on the children and their families.
The children were motivated and called for regular follow-ups.
Treatment success was evaluated at the end of the first, the third
and the sixth months and the first year. Patients were divided into
two groups as successful or unsuccessful results of treatment.
Features of unsuccessful group were evaluated.
Results: The total success rate was 40% at the end of the first
month, 38% at the end of the third month, 50% at the end of
the sixth month and 54% at the end of the first year. Nightly
fluid consumption and deep sleeping problems were significantly
higher in the group with no treatment success. The number of
introverted patients was higher in the unsuccessful group with
respect to the other group.
Conclusion: Motivation therapy can be offered as a first-step
treatment for children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal
enuresis, who are within the age group between six and eight
can be motivated for the treatment and do not have an intense
amount of bed-wetting at night
CITIES IN EVOLUTION. DIACHRONIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF URBAN AND RURAL SETTLEMENTS Book of abstracts VIII AACCP (Architecture, Archaeology and Contemporary City Planning) symposium, 2021
AACCP (Architecture, Archaeology and Contemporary City Planning) is a multidisciplinary and progressive network, which
has gathered together researchers, experts and practitioners from various fields to discuss topics related to urban
development and city planning since 2014. One of the main aims of the network is to promote collaboration between
different actors and increase understanding of the profitable co-existence of the past, present and future in urban
environments. With this task in mind, we are happy to invite you to the eighth AACCP symposium organized in
collaboration with the Dynamic Research on Urban Morphology (DRUM) laboratory at Özyeğin University in Istanbul,
Turkey on April 26th-May 2nd, 2021
Cooperazione internazionale per il rilevamento e la documentazione dei tessuti urbani storici: l’insediamento medievale genovese di Galata, Istanbul. International cooperation for the survey and documentation of historical urban tissues: the medieval genoese settlement of Galata, Istanbul
The International Urban Design Workshop “Urban Façade: Istanbul waterfront” took place in March 23th-30st 2019 at the Faculty of Architecture and Design, Özyegin University, Istanbul. Organised by the authors in collaboration with University of Parma, “Sapienza” University of Rome, University of Naples “Federico II”, DIDALABS, Department of Architecture, University of Florence, and the Università degli Studi “Mediterranea” of Reggio Calabria. The workshop focused on the architectural survey, analysis and redesign of selected urban blocks of Galata’s waterfront considering their ongoing transformation (Dixon, Verdiani, Cornell 2017). We should not design the transformation therein like an arbitrary object, as most contemporary architectural production seems to fancy, but rather as a living organism within the formation process of urban tissues (Camiz, Carlotti, Díez 2017). The area is an important connection between the sea and the historical Galata neighbourhood, acting as the city’s “urban facade” towards the Golden Horn (Cuneo 1987). The workshop considered critically inserensome of the contemporary metropolis’ problems in Istanbul, the substitution of historical urban tissues with new buildings
