The Pescara Department of Architecture has recently established relationships with overseas universities, relationships that have produced positive results, visible in degree theses on areas of extreme poverty.
Brazil, first of all, addressing Italian students, asks what the role of favelas can be, such as that of Florianòpolis, when these are placed side by side with cities with a tourist vocation.
Can the formal fabric interact with the informal one?
We tried to answer this question through a workshop, held in Vicenza from 6 to 9 November, with the aim of restoring a new identity to territories that have always been on the margins of Brazilian society, but which, in recent years, have acquired a strong potential for urban regeneration.
The Vicenza workshop was followed by two days of study, first in Pescara and then in Matera, with debates on the proposed themes and on the resources to be allocated to these researches.
A series of didactic and operational experiences were exhibited, from Africa to Latin America, which share among themselves the desire to give greater dignity to the lives of those who live in places frustrated and torn apart by political conflicts and catastrophic natural disasters.

Mirando Fave [L] las The Department of Architecture of Pescara has recently established relations with universities overseas, relations that have produced positive results, visible in thesis about regions of extreme poverty. Brazil, first of all, addressing to the Italian students, asks what can be the role of the favelas, such as Florianopolis, when these stand next to a city with tourism purpose. Can the formal tissue interact with the informal? To this question we tried to answer through a workshop in Vicenza from 6 to 9 November, in order to restore a new identity to territories always located on the edge of Brazilian society, but which in recent years have acquired a strong potential for urban regeneration. second one in Matera, with debates on the proposed topics and on means for this research A variety of educational and operational experiences have been shown, from Africa to Latin America, who sha re between them the willingness to dignify the lives of those who live in deceived places, torn apart by political conflicts and catastrophic natural disasters.

Sustain-

A few photovoltaic panels, a bit of “green” here and there, et voilà, le développement durable!
The meaning of sustainability is now a consolidated reality, but made up of dazzling carousels that promise more harm than good! To underline the bad habits and customs of "green" fashion in recent years is the opening of the conference "Introduction to Certified Sustainability" organized by Eng. Remo Massacesi in coordination with Prof. Enzo Calabrese.
The most recent European directives ask member countries to equip themselves with programmatic and operational tools, capable of pursuing transversal objectives, certifiable according to processes and parameters shared by the entire technical-scientific community.
In open dialogue between architects and engineers, the speakers discussed the protocols, national (ITACA) and international (LEED & BREAM), as thermometers of the minimum strategic units: the minimization of the environmental impact of construction sites and its waste, the evaluation of energy performance of buildings with dynamic calculation tools, the environmental product declaration and the LCA process for building materials.
We can speak of sustainability only if there is the ability to maintain its qualities over time. Not surprisingly, in English the term “sustain” is the piano pedal that prolongs the resonance of the notes.

Border Biscione

Coming from the lower city of Genoa, the one that preserves the scent of the sea, towards the hilly slopes, a large residential complex shows itself as a sleeping titan, it is Forte Quezzi (commonly called the Biscione). has to do with a macro organism that has countless realities completely independent from the consolidated city below. The construction details communicate a wisdom that the Ina Casa Plan has endowed with, entrusting architects such as Daneri and Fuselli with the arrangement of a densely inhabited system (850 units) Over sixty students from six Italian universities (Genoa, Matera, Milan, Pescara, Rome, Venice), after a selection, were entrusted to six pairs of tutors: interscalary planning, transdisciplinary approaches, visions rather than solutions Many and different actions are planned starting from the reconnection up to the modification of the housing typology, with particular attention to the landscape. me that becomes performing, as well as the methods of narrating ideas to the local community: from traditional instruments of representation to real manifestos of an architecture made up of systems and comparisons.

Border Biscione

Coming from the lower city of Genoa, the one that preserves the perfume of the sea, towards slopes of the hills, a large residential complex appears as a titan sleeping, the Strong Quezzi (commonly called the Biscione). Once you arrive, you discover that it has something to do with a macro organism that has countless realities completely decoupled from the underlying consolidated city. The construction details communicate a knowledge with which the Plan Ina House is gifted, entrusting architects like Daneri e Fuselli the installation of a system densely residential (850 units). More than sixty students coming from six Italian universities (Genoa, Matera, Milan, Pescara, Rome, Venice), after a selection, have been assigned to six pairs of mentors: interscale designs, trans disciplinary approaches, visions more than solutions. and various the actions planned from reconnection until change of the housing typology, with particular attention to the landscape which becomes high performance, as well as the modalities of narrating ideas to the local community: from the traditional tools of representation of a true manifestos made out of architectural systems and comparisons.

Le voyage dans la Lune,
from Méliès to Foster

"What is the material of the future?" A question that cannot have a single answer.
The technological advancement in construction means that, day by day, new materials and new production techniques are born.
What is surprising, when it comes to D-Shape and its inventor Enrico Dini, is that the Tuscan engineer in question has brought with him a revolution, effectively creating a printer of structures.
The material used is mainly sand, which is stratified to give a physical model. The Moon is the sandy environment par excellence, so why not hypothesize the construction of a building with a 3D printer that uses this technology right there?
Norman Foster and ESA (European Space Agency), in association with Dini, have undertaken studies that advance the idea of building a lunar base without having to transport material from Earth.
The project left the audience of the Bordersessions stunned, at the International Technology Festival 2013, inevitable amazement, perplexity and a lot of curiosity.

The Trip to the Moon, from Meliès to Foster

"Which is the material of the future?" A question that can not have only one answer. The technological progress in the building industry means that daily, new materials and new production techniques are born. its inventor Enrico Dini, is that the Tuscan engineer in question brought with him a revolution, and thereby creating a printer of structures. The used material is mostly sand, which is layered until returning a physical model. The Moon is, by excellence, the sandy environment, therefore, why not just assume the construction of a building with a 3D printer that uses this technology? Norman Foster and ESA (European Space Agency), associating with Dini, have undertaken studies that advance the idea of creating a moon base without having to carry material from the Earth. The project provoked the audience in the Border sessions, at the International Technology Festival 2013 inevitable surprise, perplexity and lots of curiosity.
