"Architecture RePerformed: The Politics of Reconstruction" presents a selection of eight essays concerning international case studies of recent architectural and urban reconstruction processes, including both Western and Eastern cultural experiences. These texts are briefly introduced by the editor, Tino Mager, an art and architectural historian. The aim of the book is explicit and amply anticipated by the title, which highlights the editor's central focus on the overall political matrix of reconstruction processes, regardless of the cultural framework they are set into.

Today, new computer techniques are increasingly employed in archaeology. Such techniques, organised according to a proper
pipeline, allow a fuller knowledge of archaeological assets. In the study of the Nympheum Colonna at Genazzano, attributed to
Bramante, an integrated approach to technologies like photogrammetric survey, 3D modelling, virtual tour and 3D printing, enables
a scale reproduction of the image of the Nymphaeum at the beginning of the 16th century. First, data are acquired through

The aim of the research is to identify method and operational references at different scales, urban and territorial, to be applied to territories affected by earthquakes, useful for defining prevention and reconstruction strategies.
In particular, the activity focuses on Accumoli, and takes concrete form in the construction of a pilot program for reconstruction, defining integrated and coordinated reconstruction actions based on resilience of the affected areas.

Head and Neck osteosarcoma is an uncommon disease. Hitherto, the treatment is surgical resection and survival is influenced by the presence of free margins. However, the dimension of the resection may represent a hurdle for an adequate Quality of Life (QOL). Maxillofacial district is a narrow space where the function, esthetics and patient’s relational skills fit together like the gears of a clock.

The theme of designing in historic contexts is as old as the history of human construction. It could be said that every construction is a redesign of something pre-existing, whether artificial or natural. Since antiquity, the act of rewriting atop an existing building is determined, beyond merely functional aspects, by the desire to mark a gap, an interruption in a pre-existing condition. This occurs through the strong, and in some cases even violent, introduction of something new; an act that also comports a re-semantization of the building to be modified.

L’impatto dei disastri naturali o tecnologici, risulta potenzialmente maggiore sulle aree urbane, dove la densità abitativa incrementa la gravità dei danni e delle ripercussioni socio-economiche dovute all’interruzione dei servizi essenziali. L’ambiente costruito è contraddistinto da caratteristiche protettive, che possono rappresentare un elemento importante per ridurre il rischio di catastrofe ed incrementare la resilienza degli insediamenti umani.

The pathogenic mechanism underlying capsular contracture is still unknown. It is certainly a multifactorial process, resulting from human body reaction, biofilm activation, bacteremic seeding, or silicone exposure. The scope of the present article is to investigate the effect of hypofractionated radiotherapy protocol (2.66 Gy × 16 sessions) both on silicone and polyurethane breast implants.Silicone implants and polyurethane underwent irradiation according to a hypofractionated radiotherapy protocol for the treatment of breast cancer.
