Brossura. Zustand: new. English Text.Melfi, 2020; paperback, pp. 132, b/w ill., cm 15x21.(Paesaggio). Which are the problems posed by planning or transforming a mountain road (or some of its stretches) from the point of view of architectural and landscape design? Which is the impact of Italian roads running through orographically complex landscapes? How is it possible to exploit the potentialities offered by slopes, passes, drops in height, gullies when planning roads? This book provides some considerations regarding mobility infrastructures in orographically complex landscapes, with the aim of collecting together themes and project strategies that nowadays are scattered through a host of piecemeal case studies, infrastructures themselves, good practices, trials, customary or traditional approaches. This book aims to collect some heterogeneous considerations into a firmer body of suggestions, so as to afford project-linked hints and cross-sectional interpretations about a subject that (though dubbed as marginal) truly plays a much more central and relevant role than what contemporary project-linked culture would like to admit.

Il volume illustra con disegni e foto dodici case unifamiliari dell'architetto giapponese Kazunori Fujimoto. Le case, realizzate in contesti urbani e paesaggistici molto diversi tra loro, esaltano la sensibilità dell'autore a cogliere i caratteri dei luoghi e a farli interagire con lo spazio interno. L'uso di pochi materiali e la composizione monocroma purificano lo spazio ed esprimono l'ideale wabi che traduce l'aspirazione etica ed estetica della cultura giapponese alla sobrietà e alla povertà, ovvero all'autenticità.

Cartonato. Zustand: new. English Text.Melfi, 2025; hardback, pp. 148, ill., cm 17x21.(Mosaico). The Stone Perimeter indaga il riuso adattivo delle fortificazioni attraverso lo strumento del progetto di architettura. Un tempo pensate come dispositivo di controllo territoriale, castelli, torri e mura possono oggi essere interpretate come palinsesti dinamici, capaci di custodire una loro memoria e al tempo stesso generare spazi disponibili ad ospitare nuove funzioni. Il volume, tra teoria e progetto, riunisce quattro saggi introduttivi (Carles Enrich, Xavier Ros Majó / Harquitectes, Markus Scherer, Andrea Zamboni) e una serie di casi studio virtuosi, mostrando come il riuso adattivo possa essere una strategia sostenibile per il patrimonio minore europeo. La parte conclusiva è dedicata ai risultati di un'esperienza didattica con studenti internazionali, che esplora la condizione di rovina della Rocca di Pietrasanta come caso studio di un progetto di musealizzazione a servizio del territorio, capace di generare rinnovato valore pubblico.

Brossura. Zustand: new. English Text.Melfi, 2019; paperback, pp. 128, col. ill., cm 15x21. This book is the documentation of an installation in the matorral submontano of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico. The work is an experiment that merges the traits of an artistic experience with those of a scientific research. The interest in the ecosystem of the matorral, and a possible alternative lifestyle in contact with it, started with a thesis project in architecture at the Universidad de Monterrey. Later, the idea that engaging with the matorral may lead to a different understanding of the semi-natural space of contemporary landscape developed into a funded research project. The project implied the installation of a flora-and-fauna route through the ecosystem with the double aim of facilitating the ecological awareness and implanting a narrative in the landscape.

Brossura. Zustand: new. A cura di Metta A. e Olivetti M. L.Traduzione di Gordman C.Testo Italiano e Inglese.Melfi, 2021; br., pp. 224, ill. col., cm 15x21.(L&Scape). Unspoilt ecosystems and wildlife are becoming increasingly common in contemporary European cities. Untamed lands are growing, often inhabited by animals and insects, while dense pieces of jungle take possessionof the parks, as well as the roofs and facades of the most fashionable buildings. Cities tend to get wild for a variety of reasons, sometimes as a result of a lack of care and design, sometimes intentionally, translatinga more mutualistic relationship between post-industrial societes and what we insist on calling 'nature'. In this scenario, design uses the wild to respond to a number of different issues: regenerating abandoned areas, revitalizing public spaces, improving the ecological footprint of new settlements, , fighting climate change, satisfying the inhabitants' 'desire for nature', and so on. This book offers clues to read the current relationship between Wind and City from a critical perspective. On the one hand, we explore the proactive value of wild landscapes to improve urban quality; on the other hand, we question the risk of wild as a buzzword that renews anti-urban position or feeds practices and policies of consensual and cheap-pludit 'greenery'.

Brossura. Zustand: new. English Text. Melfi, 2017; paperback, pp. 292, b/w ill., cm 15x21. (Mosaico). China is still largely unknown. This book serves as a investigation to Chinese architecture and is concerned with developing, through each chapter from ancient to modern times using a metaphysical perspective, abandoning any Western point of view. Ancient symbols and meanings in Chinese culture are explored in depth- from the traditional architecture and the architecture of the various ethnic minorities to present-day modern buildings. It highlights the fundamental conception of the universe through the introduction of a philological study which thoughtfully translates complex ideograms and their meaning in relation to architecture. This writing demonstrates how this ancient philosophy is applied in traditional architecture. The analysis of the modernity and contemporaneity expresses the distance between the past and the present, where all influences from outside China are adapted to the local culture. Through the metaphysical understanding of the Chinese culture, it is clear that the architecture is greatest expression of this traditional culture. This book is the first of its kind to undertake a metaphysical understanding of the built forms of this ancient civilization. Libro.…

Brossura. Zustand: new. Edited by Bodei S.English Text.Melfi, 2020; paperback, pp. 156, b/w and col. ill., cm 15x21.(Mosaico). Hans Hallen architect and multi-faceted personality, played an important role in South African architecture of the 1960s to the 1980s, especially in Durban city. Initially the architectural and construction solutions he developed drew from the language and forms of the Modern, but were then rein¬terpreted in an eclectic and original way, with particular attention to links with the site and the articulation of pathways. This book, which is published on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday, is a col¬lection of essays on a selection of the architect's early projects, using the parti¬cular relationship between his architecture and drawings as a common thread. The first three contributions by Silvia Bodei, Walter Peter and Rodney Harber highlight signifi¬cant architectural and spatial aspects of some of his works for collective use in the 1960s. Michele Jacobs presents the materials kept at the Technical Reference Library, focusing on the documents in the section dedicated to Hans Hallen. The publication ends with an interview to the architect, who has lived in Sydney (Australia) since 1987, in which he talks about his projects, interests and methods. Libro.…

Dal 1987 Atxu Amann, Andres Cánovas e Nicolás Maruri (ACM) condividono un piccolo studio di architettura con la ragione sociale "Temperaturas Extremas".

Brossura. Zustand: new. English Text.Melfi, 2021; paperback, pp. 588, b/w ill., cm 17x24.(Mosaico). The world of Eco-Village is a universe of particular complexity, too often considered as a simple return to Nature and to an ideal and unrealistic Arcadian model of living. This book aims to illustrate how rich and articulated are the ideas that, over the centuries, have generated the contemporary concept of Eco-Village and Eco-Living. This publi¬cation is the most extensive and scientifically founded investigation of Eco-Villages published to date. The author, an expert on environ¬mental issues and history of architecture, through an extensive research lasting more than ten years, intends to describe the philosophical, cultural, historical and theoretical aspects of this complex topic. The discussion, rigorous but very readable, proposes the description of the fundamental concepts of the Eco-Villages, their complex philoso¬phy and the technical aspects, all illustrated with many examples. Because the subject has been comprehensively described for the first time, the book is split into two volumes. The first volume describes the historical and conceptual aspects of the contemporary Eco-Villages, supported by an extensive bibliography and accurate examples. The second is focusing more on the technical aspects, illustrating the most important Eco-Villages in the world. Libro.…
