ABCPhD OPENTalks 2017with Catherine Maumi, MHAevt, ENSAG (Grenoble-F)RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE –Le Territoire comme objec d’étudeJune 12th (2017) - Aula menouno, Building 15 – Campus Leonardo

C.Maumi teaches History and Culture of Architecture at the école national superieure d’Architecture (ENSAG), where she coordinates the Laboratoire Metiers de l’Architecture, supervising PhD Candidates’s thesis. The meeting calls for a reflection on the role of territory in architectural research, that lies (following her thought) in the openness and the ability to adopt a cross scale approach, from the single building to the broader landscape, and to consider the many built environment layers, from the physical, geo-historical dimension to the immaterial dynamic of societies, institutions and memories.

CITY TRANSFORMATION SEEN THROUGH CHRONOLOGICAL AND CROSS-CULTURAL ANALYSIS.

Aula Consiglio, Building 14 - 1st floor ……… June 8th , 2017 ……… 15:00 – 17:30

In this talk we will be subjected to two different case studies which are going

to be Presented by Pilar M Guerrieri and Cristina Pallini, where they will take

us through different scales of city transformation in which the city

agglomeration in Delhi and the reconstruction of Thessaloniki are

demonstrated through chronological and cross-cultural analysis. Nowadays

every city from Asia till Europe is going through fast urbanization operation as

a part of its development process which causes sometimes severe negative

impact on the existing heritage. Therefore, it is the role of a scholar to develop

a methodology of analyzing such multifaceted and stratified heritage, in order

to find a way to integrate it effectively with the present urban development

process.

CITY TRANSFORMATION seen through chronological and cross-cultural analysisJune 8th (2017) - Aula Consiglio, Building 14 – Campus Leonardo

Two different case studies will be presented, dealing with different scales of city transformation: the city agglomeration in Delhi (M.P. Guerrieri) and the reconstruction of Thessaloniki (C.Pallini). Urbanization operations, part of development processes, may cause severe negative impact on the existing heritage. It is our duty, as researchers in architecturaldesign, to develop a methodology to analyze multifaceted and stratified heritage and to find a way to effectively integrate heritage care in urban development process.

ABCPhD Open Talks 2017Federico Butera back to polimi

Building, Cities and Sustainable Development: past, present and futureMarch 29th - aula Consiglio, Campus Leonardo, 14:00-15:30

Federico Butera is our (at polimi) emeritus professor with a very long career in the energy sector, dealing with energyefficiency strategies, in particular applied to the control of indoor and outdoor environment and its comfort.The story he will tell us is about the evolution of the conceptof Built Environment Sustainability, from its first appearancein the international debate, with the final aim to give insightsabout our next future.


It is not sufficient, however, that the new design process integrates a new expertise, and thatfrom linear it becomes circular; it is also necessary to define a planning strategy, the one charac-terizing the ZEB, that is not simply a ‘normal’ building in which renewable energy is used insteadof oil or gas; it is a building designed in a different way, whose planning strategy is depicted inFigure 3, where it is pointed out that the maximum effort must go into minimizing the amount ofenergy needed to provide high levels of thermal and visual comfort, by means of appropriate

ABCPhD Open Talks 2017Michal Šejnoha @polimiEffective properties of wood Application to glued laminated timber beamsMarch 23rd - aula Consiglio, Campus Leonardo, 16:30-17:30

The main research interest of Michal Šejnoha (MSc degree at CTU-Prague and PhD at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA, researcher at the Czech Technical University) is the mechanical behaviour of materials and new (reinforced, composites, …) ones. This lecture is about the modeling of wood at various scales, from their microstructure to complex elements like beams, and the use of stochastic hierarchical models in the framework of Bayesian statistics, to capture the inherent variability of the elastic properties of individual timber planks and the uncertainty of the parameters controlling their probability distributions.

Multi-physics modelling and simulation toolsApplication in NZEBuildings design and managementFebruary 28th - aula Consiglio, Campus Leonardo, 14:30-16:30

The main research interest of Alberto Leva (Dept. of Elettro-nica, Informazione e Bioing.) is process modeling, simulation and control, a natural arena for interdisciplinary cooperation.He will tell us his history as researcher and provide an overview of his field activity, in particular, modern multiphy-sics modeling paradigms and the use of simulation tools( ), with a special focus on energy-related aspects. The topic we share is energy efficient buildings: he sees them as systems, we as architectures. Both we use simulators as a decision aid in design or management practice. It will be a very interesting confrontation meeting.

ABCPhD OpenTalks 07 JOHN PENDLEBURY @polimi

The Authorised Heritage Discourse (AHD) questions why material objects from the past should be considered valuable and extend this to what should be protected and to how that protection should take place; that is, what constitutes heritage and acceptable conservation practice. Using the AHD as a framing device, this lecture is focused upon the practice of conservation applied through the English planning system. It will reflect upon how, in tandem with the growth and extension of a system of conservation-planning, the protection of the historic environment has, over recent decades, become increasingly intertwined with other public policy objectives, especially with urban regeneration and economic development.

Building memories and inventing spaceMay 25th - room S.1.7, Building 3 - Campus Leonardo, 9h30-11h30

Josep-Maria Garcia Fuentes is researcher at the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape of Newcastle University and will talk with us about John Soane’s House and Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.John Soane, Royal Gold Medal for architecture in 1776, was one of the most brilliant architects of his time. He had a thorough understanding of historical architectures, thanks to his travels in continental Europe, and a pioneering and visionary approach to architecture that let him become a constant reference for many twentieth-century architects in Europe and beyond. Our main questions: How a journey can provide the basis to the architect’s “formal education”? Does collective history need the architect’s imagination? And, what is the role of “nostalgia” in the never-ending reconstruction/invention of the past?
