Leather tanning processing and manufacturing industry uses high large amounts of water in the range of 40–45 L kg–1 during processing. As a result, tannery wastewater rises by the same amount, is characterized by a large inorganic load (chlorides, with concentration ranging from several hundred to over 10,000 mg L–1 Cl–; sulphate (VI), ammonium ions and sulphide ions, exhibiting concentration that ranges from tens to several hundred mg L–1) and together with organic pollution (the chemical oxygen demand value is usually several thousand mg L–1 O2).

The compliance of the chemical and environmental requirements for using woody biomass fly ash (WBFA) as a mineral admixture in cement-based materials was studied in terms of the use of the cement-biomass fly ash concrete where the fluids surrounding and interacting with it renew themselves over time. The study was preceded by a preliminary characterization of WBFA whose results showed that the European chemical requirements (EN 450-1, 2012) established for the reuse of coal fly ash in cement-based materials (there is no normative for WBFA) were met except for the chloride content.

The theme of minimal places, urban inserts that are discharged in appearance, forgotten in daily use, has been investigated at ecosystem

Rediscover the lost spaces of the former Teachers’ Club, - the Dopolavoro Universitario of the Sapienza- is the topic of a design path that gives the roman university community back to the memory of an important formal structure, unique in its typological dimension.

The study of mathematical objects with the philosophical aspiration to true, beauty and right, are the center of the research that from 2016, we are carrying on as the appliance of a method for the project of renewal of buildings and historical sites, starting from the original unit of measurement. The research produced survey-and-design experiments of different nature. The first in Castri di Lecce, a small town in Puglia, culminated with an exhibition and published in a book that extensively illustrates the hypotheses of intervention on this ancient ducal palace.

Da diversi anni si assiste a una vasta e diffusa crisi del settore cinematografico che ha
portato alla dismissione o alla trasformazione di molte sale storiche; solo a Roma i cinematografi
chiusi negli ultimi venti anni sono più di trenta. Tale incremento ha contribuito a diffondere, tra
gli studiosi del settore e nell’opinione pubblica, una particolare sensibilizzazione nei confronti di questa problematica che ha portato a considerare questo ingente patrimonio costruito un bene della

Interventions on existing buildings are increasing every day. The actions do not
only affect buildings to be preserved for their history or importance, but also
“Tiers-Paysage”: in other words, abandoned or marginal residual places and
buildings become objects of interest. The object of intervention – once the
spirit of conservation is abandoned in spite of re-use and the sacredness of the
existing building – becomes manipulable, overwritable, making the waste as
activator of imagination. Is it possible today to define an architectural language
