Urban Centrality of Acilia Madonnetta, Rome

The urban centrality of Acilia Madonnetta, planned by the New Regulatory Plan for Rome, is located in the southwest quadrant of the city, between the EUR and Ostia, closed off to the north of the area by the flood zone of the Tiber, which is crossed to the north by the directive axis Via del Mare \u2013 Via Ostiense \u2013 Rome \u2013 Ostia Lido railroad and to the south by Via Cristoforo Colombo. The idea of rearming the territory with a series of urban poles that concentrate the functions of excellence is the answer that the local government developed to contrast the residential monofunctionality of Rome\u2019s outskirts. The urban project interests a vast free area of 14,368,918 square feet located in the center of the extended settlement created by Acilia, Axa, Casal Palocco-Infernetto, but well-defined at its outer limits by a vast green area, including the natural reserves of the Tiber and Castelvetro to the north and south respectively. To the east is a system of open green spaces that reach Acilia-Dragona and to the west, the ancient Stagno Ostiense\u2019s extensive area of respect. Today, Acilia is essentially residential, with a limited presence of services and productive activities, with a weak public transportation system, and a structure of viability that requires significant improvement. With respect to the building fragmentation and the absence of public space that today connote this territorial context, the project introduces a principle of compactness of urban space, based on a network of lines with origins that lie in two orthogonal axes, which coincide with a double row of preexisting pines that cross the area from north to south, and with an ancient east-west running canal that has been reactivated and widened. The central north-south axis is made up of a double roadway, and a median system of commercial buildings with porticoes on the first floor and offices on the second floor. On the roof of this building is planned a light transportation system connecting the new station planned at the intersection with Via del Mare-Ostiense to the north and Cristoforo Colombo to the south of the urban center. On a larger scale, such a public transportation system is functional for connecting the new settlement and the neighborhoods that are on its outskirts to the Fiumicino airport and Rome\u2019s Fiera (Exposition Center). A network of bicycle paths integrates the system of connections of the new urban center with the surroundings, and particularly with the ecological east-west corridor planned by the new Master Plan, that penetrates the original nucleus of Acilia. The site of a Roman aqueduct diagonally crosses the center: the rests of the ancient building complex are visible thanks to the excavation from a large archeological dig that acts like a green practicable corridor with historic and landscape value, that constitutes the great exception in the settlement system. The presence of the aqueduct connotes the project for Acilia Madonnetta\u2019s central role as a new urban foundation, according to an ideal line of continuity with ancient tradition. This new special condition of identity is reflected in the recognizability of the new urban center, whose identity is based on a long-term principle. The archeological theme directs the planning choices even in the definition of the building\u2019s morphology, which is designed as a kind of great low relief that emphasizes the idea of the excavation and belonging to the site. The heights of the buildings are generally 49 feet, except for five residential towers that are 131 feet, placed in pairs on the sides of the central axis, making the position stand out from afar. The green area, which represents more than one third of the total surface of the new center consists of a green belt cut through by bicycle and foot paths that is outfitted with spaces for collective activities related to leisure time. It imbues the new settlement and provides ample green spaces equipped for sports. A large open space used as a city park completes the system. Within it, the small rises on the eastern border are valorized as is the evidence of the major land recuperation operation that interested this part of the Agro Romano. The perpendicular lattice conformation of the urban project offers a high level of flexibility for locating the different functions, without altering the identity of the settlement. The functions proposed for a total gross surface area of 3,778,133 square feet \u2014to which may be added around 861,113 square feet of additional public function area\u2014meet two primary requirements: provide the area of Acilia, intended for essential collective purposes, and offer valuable, rare functions that qualify the entire surrounding territory

Ars Electronica : Facing the Future : A Survey of Two Decades

A survey of the two decades of the Ars Electronica festival in Linz, Austria that draws on the resources of its publications and archives to represent the ongoing debate about the effects of digital media on creativity and culture. Three different sections address the history, theory and practice of electronic art. Co-founder H. Leopoldseder gives an overview of each year of the festival and its chosen theme from 1979 to1999.

Human immunodeficiency virus continuum of care in 11 european union countries at the end of 2016 overall and by key population: Have we made progress?

Background. High uptake of antiretroviral treatment (ART) is essential to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission and related mortality; however, gaps in care exist. We aimed to construct the continuum of HIV care (CoC) in 2016 in 11 European Union (EU) countries, overall and by key population and sex. To estimate progress toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 target, we compared 2016 to 2013 estimates for the same countries, representing 73% of the population in the region. Methods. A CoC with the following 4 stages was constructed: number of people living with HIV (PLHIV); proportion of PLHIV diagnosed; proportion of those diagnosed who ever initiated ART; and proportion of those ever treated who achieved viral suppression at their last visit. Results. We estimated that 87% of PLHIV were diagnosed; 92% of those diagnosed had ever initiated ART; and 91% of those ever on ART, or 73% of all PLHIV, were virally suppressed. Corresponding figures for men having sex with men were: 86%, 93%, 93%, 74%; for people who inject drugs: 94%, 88%, 85%, 70%; and for heterosexuals: 86%, 92%, 91%, 72%. The proportion suppressed of all PLHIV ranged from 59% to 86% across countries. Conclusions. The EU is close to the 90-90-90 target and achieved the UNAIDS target of 73% of all PLHIV virally suppressed, significant progress since 2013 when 60% of all PLHIV were virally suppressed. Strengthening of testing programs and treatment support, along with prevention interventions, are needed to achieve HIV epidemic control. © The Author(s) 2020
