MODIFICAZIONI URBANE. ARCHITETTURE E CONNESSIONI A PALERMO

Il volume raccoglie gli esiti della ricerca e della didattica dei laboratori di Progettazione architettonica svolti presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell\u2019Universit\ue0 degli Studi di Palermo, sul tema del progetto urbano. L\u2019obiettivo \ue8 quello di dimostrare come l\u2019esperienza di progetto sia capace di riaffermare la qualit\ue0 architettonica urbana nella citt\ue0 contemporanea. Inoltre, viene presentato un percorso di ricognizione e di conoscenza attraverso l\u2019elaborazione di progetti didattici, dal quale emerge una forte attenzione alle trasformazioni della citt\ue0.The book collects the results of the research and teaching of the architectural design laboratories carried out at the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo, on the theme of the urban project. The goal is to demonstrate how the project experience is able to reaffirm the urban architectural quality in the contemporary city. In addition, a path of recognition and knowledge is presented through the development of educational projects, from which emerges a strong emphasis on the transformations of the city

Vertical mobility: a multi-faceted tool for enhancing architectural heritage

Vertical mobility plays a key role in the accessibility of architectural heritage: an extraneous requisite, but indispensable for enhancing the built heritage in an inclusive way. In this framework, in the light of their multiple technological features, mechanical devices will be discussed, taking into account the interaction with the users (individuals and community). Urban and architectural design in the historical context is very often confronted with vertical mobility, in the relationships between fragmented spaces and the perceptive processes of the user. The mechanical devices can be read at the same time as technological products and as iconic moments of the narrative sequence of different urban areas. A focus will be placed on the social relevance of vertical mobility, with reference to the theme of the healthy city. The paper will report several results from an interdisciplinary research opportunity, stemming from MOVE AGED, specifically devoted to the specific needs of elderly people in the historical parts of urban settlements. The paper proposes architectural heritage as a thought-provoking, trans-disciplinary application field. In fact, the user¿s experience and technological innovation have become indispensable terms of reference in the activities of knowing, conserving and enhancing; over the last decades topics such as social inclusion, participation processes and community involvement have entered the domain of architectural heritage

Strat\ue9gies de transformation urbaine au bord du Tage. L\u2019exemple de l\u2019Expo\u201998 de Lisbonne

Le sujet de cette proposition porte sur la contribution des grands \ue9v\ue9nements \ue0 la r\ue9novation urbaine et sur les m\ue9canismes de transformations des villes contemporaines. On s'interrogera sur la fa\ue7on dont la programmation et la transformation des villes et des territoires peut \ueatre r\ue9alis\ue9e dans des conditions privil\ue9gi\ue9s, dont les acteurs et les politiques urbaines se c\uf4toient aux choix des nouvelles strat\ue9gies de planification urbaine. Je prendrais pour champ d'observation l\u2019Expo\u201998 qui s\u2019inscrit dans le cadre du \uabPlan strat\ue9gique de Lisbonne\ubb \ue9labor\ue9 par la municipalit\ue9 entre 1990 et 1992 et qui d\ue9finit les futures transformation de la zone orientale de la Capitale portugaise jusqu\u2019au 2010. Le projet urbain de l\u2019Expo\u201998 qui s\u2019inscrit selon les acteurs dans la lign\ue9es du mod\ue8le barcelonais a \ue9t\ue9 per\ue7ue comme un \ue9v\ue9nement \ue0 saisir pour d\ue9velopper la ville et son aire m\ue9tropolitaine. A l\u2019image des r\ue9cents Jeux Olympiques, la strat\ue9gie de planification urbaine a pr\ue9vue la transformation d\u2019une friche industrielle et portuaire au bord du Tage sur un p\ue9rim\ue8tre de 350ha. Sur la base d\u2019un vaste projet urbain, deux grands principes d\u2019am\ue9nagement ont \ue9t\ue9 retenu: cr\ue9er une nouvelle centralit\ue9 m\ue9tropolitaine et promouvoir l\u2019image renou\ue9 de Lisbonne avec son fleuve aux yeux des autres pays europ\ue9ens. Le processus qui am\ue8ne et accompagne l\u2019exposition est ins\ue9parable du contexte politique de l\u2019\ue9poque. Soutenu par une coalition de gauche, le programme de Jorge Sampaio, \ue9lu en 1989 Maire de Lisbonne, \ue9labor\ue9 par les apports de plusieurs personnalit\ue9, a entra\ueen\ue9 une r\ue9flexion approfondie sur le devenir de la ville en opposant \ue0 la planification urbaine traditionnelle l\u2019id\ue9e d\u2019un nouveau \uab Plan strat\ue9gique de Lisbonne\ubb. Si les expositions sont inscrites dans le temps et dans l\u2019espace, les effets positifs ou n\ue9gatifs qu\u2019elles produisent persistent par rapport \ue0 un syst\ue8me variable qui d\ue9pend de plusieurs facteurs : le site, les acteurs, la dur\ue9e et la stabilit\ue9 des interrelations et des concertations politiques apr\ue8s l\u2019\ue9v\ue8nement. C\u2019est dans ce sens que les expositions et les grands \ue9v\ue8nements en g\ue9n\ue9ral peuvent fournir des \ue9l\ue9ments utiles pour comprendre leur r\uf4le actuel et pour imaginer des mod\ue8les alternatifs de planification urbaine

Fleuve en ville. Infrastructures touristiques \ue0 l'Expo 2008 Saragosse

Avec la mont\ue9e en puissance des grandes expositions, soutenues par les villes qui se livrent \ue0 une course \ue0 l\u2019image par l\u2019interm\ue9diaire d\u2019\ue9v\ue9nements culturels, une nouvelle cat\ue9gorie de tourisme s\u2019est impos\ue9e dans le territoire urbain des villes : le tourisme culturel. Dans des territoires o\uf9 l\u2019offre culturelle est limit\ue9e, l\u2019\ue9v\ue9nementiel peut \ueatre un moyen d\u2019engager une dynamique nouvelle, qui peut jouer, \ue0 cet \ue9gard, un r\uf4le f\ue9d\ue9rateur parmi les acteurs publics. Les impacts \ue0 diff\ue9rentes \ue9chelles sont multiples : sur le d\ue9veloppement urbain, sur l\u2019\ue9conomie et le tourisme ainsi que sur le d\ue9veloppement durable de fa\ue7on plus globale. Les \ue9v\ue9nements jouent actuellement un r\uf4le pleinement politique dont la transmission du message de la th\ue9matique et de la ville contribuent \ue0 construire un imaginaire collectif capable de faire d\ue9placer les touristes provenant du monde entier. Le projet de l\u2019Exposition Internationale de Saragosse avec le Parc de l\u2019eau s\u2019inscrit dans ce processus de transformation qui ne peut \ueatre r\ue9duit \ue0 une simple intervention urbaine et paysag\ue8re, mais qui entra\ueene encore d\u2019autres changements \ue0 diff\ue9rentes \ue9chelles

Eventi, luoghi, temporalit\ue0. L\u2019Expo\u201998 Lisbona e l\u2019Expo 02 Svizzera / Events, Places, Temporalities. The Lisbon world Expo'98 and the Expo 02 Switzerland

Great events deal with a leading role in contemporary practise for urban renewal, encourage the emergence of new town planning strategies, improve existing infrastructures and increase land interests on their site. Instead of current practise in city renewal, the plan of the event is characterized by three main phases : the specifying of a strategy of urban transformation, its lasting, re-use or demolition of planned building once the event is over. This last phase is regarded as the main subject of the whole program during the planning procedure. Through the two case-study of Expo\u201998 at Lisbon and the Expo 02 Switzerland, I will take into consideration issues related to the localisation of the event, its lasting, and the urban effects induced by the transformations

Oriente en la Exposici\uf3n Universal de Osaka 1970

La Exposicion Universal de Osaka en 1970 se propone como posible modelo de una nueva ciudad, en la cual los elementos efimeros tienden a estarmucho m\ue1s presentes que la arquitectura misma, la cual se limita a definir el esqueleto del sistema constr\uf9ctivo. El tema propuesto pretende evidenciar un nuevo acercamiento a las consecuencias de la ideologia del progreso de la civilisaci\uf3n y la tecnologia con referencia a la Segunda Guerra Mundial como ejemplo destructivo del knowhow cientifico

Arr\ueat sur image. Exposition territoire de l\u2019imaginaire

Le sujet de cette proposition, qui fait \ue9tat d'une recherche en cours sur la contribution des grands \ue9v\ue9nements \ue0 la r\ue9novation urbaine, porte sur la relation entre grandes expositions et m\ue9canismes de transformation des villes. L\u2019analyse de la relation entre \ue9v\ue9nement et r\ue9novation urbaine, permet d\u2019aborder, d\u2019une part, le th\ue8me de la d\ue9termination d\u2019une strat\ue9gie durable de transformation urbaine et, d\u2019autre part, le th\ue8me de la promotion d\u2019une nouvelle image internationale de la ville ou du territoire. En se referant aux cas d\u2019\ue9tude de l\u2019Expo\u201998 Lisbonne et de l\u2019Expo.02 Suisse, nous examinerons ce d\ue9bat autour des grands \ue9v\ue8nements pour comprendre comment on peut am\ue9nager un \ue9v\ue9nement \ue9ph\ue9m\ue8re, tout en l\u2019inscrivant dans une optique de durabilit\ue9. A partir de cela, on s\u2019int\ue9ressera \ue0 examiner ces deux exemples d\ue8s la conception \ue0 l\u2019apr\ue8s-Expo. Si l\u2019Expo\u201998 rejoint, pour ses transformations permanentes, l\u2019exp\ue9rience de Barcelone, l\u2019Expo.02 fige le potentiel de l\u2019imaginaire dans la m\ue9moire de la r\ue9gion des trois lacs, ne laissant presque aucune trace mat\ue9rielle de la manifestation. Restitu\ue9e dans la probl\ue9matique des rapports que les grands \ue9v\ue9nements contemporains entretiennent avec les politiques urbaines et les enjeux de la requalification des sites d\ue9laiss\ue9es, cette analyse s\u2019appuie sur la comparaison des images urbaines et architecturales, repr\ue9sentations entre imaginaire et r\ue9alit\ue9 qui renvoient \ue0 des mondes extraordinaires

L\u2019universit\ue0 nella citt\ue0. Parigi e il quartiere Mass\ue9na Rive Gauche

The main topic of this abstract takes into the emblematic aspects of the ambitious plan of transformation Rive Gauche, operating in Paris, and analyses the reasons why such as universities facilities has been reintroduced in the city, inverting the main practise now diffused in many European and Italian cities, which is to locate university poles far away from city centres. The site Mass\ue9na Rive Gauche, in the east of Paris, is occupied by the bundle of the external railroads of the Gare d\u2019Austerliz. Even when standing as a not interesting place, marked by hard urban fractures, the site has shown great potentialities of transformation for its central location, and for longing the Seine forehead. If the construction of the Grande Biblioth\ue8que has conferred to this part of Paris an indispensable monumental reference for the future city development, the choice to bring together new programs for cultural lodgings, offices, facilities and housing, has allowed to transfer in this place also a new university pole destined to the Universit\ue9 Paris VII Denis-Diderot. The transformation of the eastern Paris appears today emblematic for the contribution offered to the quality of urban environment, and for the influence those skills will have on further metropolitan plans to come

PALERMO 2019: GREEN LINE

L'organizzazione di un Laboratorio internazionale di Progettazione Architettonica ha rivelato l'importanza di accostare figure provenienti dal mondo accademico e istituzionale ancor prima che Palermo presentasse la sua proposta di candidatura a Capitale Europea della Cultura 2019. Questa esperienza, che si \ue8 rivelata utile per definire alcuni spazi incerti della citt\ue0, \ue8 risultata assai stimolante per la comunit\ue0 scientifica e per le istituzioni coinvolte. La consapevolezza del ruolo di servizio e di indirizzo che la comunit\ue0 scientifica deve assumersi nei confronti del proprio territorio, i rimando ai temi che riguardano l'architettura e il territorio della citt\ue0 mediterranea, l'attenzione al dibattito internazionale sulla Green line, ha generato fertili ibridazioni nel campo specifico del progetto di architettura nella citt\ue0. In questo contesto, il Laboratorio ha preso a pretesto l'interesse della citt\ue0 a partecipare all'evento per evidenziare la necessit\ue0 di occuparsi di un ampio ambito urbano di Palermo che, parallelamente alla linea di costa, ricongiunge il margine settentrionale del Centro storico con la Valle del fiume Oreto.The International Laboratory of Architectural Design is in general agreement with the present lines of thought regarding the sustainable city, and is proposing interventions geared towards re-instituting relations between the dislocated parts of the urban fabric and enhancement of the urban and natural heritage of the established city. The project-design was carried out in Palermo in three areas of intervention, selected from a number of urban spaces stretching from the Palazzo Reale to the valley of the Oreto river, crossed by a linear park defined as the Green line; the aim was to offer themes and design-activity in support of the much broader project of proposing Palermo as a candidate for European Capital of Culture 2019. Innovation and sustainability, together with the place itself, green infrastructure and living, are the key words around which the architectural
