devo confessare un segreto: qui a Rimini ha nevicato!
E quando cambia il paesaggio, specie quando cambia in maniera così poetica, scatta - è proprio il caso di dire - un impulso che ti spinge ad immortalare la cosa nuova.
Così, dopo un diligente week end a passeggiare con una bacucca in braccio che non voleva camminare (cfr all. 1) o trainando un bob rosso con sopra un jack sparrow in incognita (cfr all.2) sempre alla destra di Sara (cfr all.3), domenica sera alle 17,30, all'imbrunire, siamo uscito di casa, io il treppiedi e la "fotografica", così come la chiama Giacomo.
Direzione... parco.
Poiché attualmente nell'ipod (di monta a cui, in itunes ho cambiato nome, ed è così diventato mio) per ora ho solo podcast o audiolibri, avevo anche le orecchie libere da musica.
Eravamo io e la natura selvaggia.
Prima di ogni altra cosa devo confessare di essere arrivato un pizzico in ritardo, diciamo di una mezz'ora. Così, era già troppo buio per fare una certa foto che avevo in mente di fare: colpa mia.
Di notte, nel parco con la neve, le esposizioni troppo lunghe producono foto simili a quelle di giorno. Il risultato non è nulla di che, anzi, sulle prime m'ero pure preoccupato. Di fatti, pur impegnandomi non vedevo niente di buono uscire dallo schermo lcd della "fotografica" attaccata a quell'orrendo treppiede che tanto non sopporto.
Per un attimo, ho cullato pure l'idea di tornare a casa senza avere foto degne; e quest'idea, strano a dirlo, m'è persino piaciuta: la vedevo come una cosa matura, ma non sarei in grado di dire perché.
Allora ho camminato. frunc frunc frunc (questo è il passo del moon boot decatlon sulla neve nel parco)
Camminando camminando, mi sono trovato di fronte ad una scena che fotografai, molto simile, qualche mese fa' (cfr. all. 4). Ho sorriso (e scattato).
Poi, d'un tratto, controllando se stesse effettivamente iniziando a nevicare o se quei fiocchi fossero solo ripartiti dopo una lunga pausa sui rami degli alberi, volgendo il naso all'insù, sono rimasto risucchiato da un gioco di rami e cielo rosso. Ho così rimontato il grandangolo al gelo, ho accorciato l'orrido treppiede per poi scattare, sebbene abbia dovuto cedere spesso al fuoco manuale, puntato all'infinito, per poter fare foto in una condizione più simile al buio che alla penombra.
E così, cercando fotografie di neve, ho scattato tante foto agli alberi (cfr. all. 5, 6, 7, 8).
Poi, l'immancabile auto foto del fantasmino bianco che si aggira per la città innevata. (cfr. all. 9)
Tornando in silenzio a piedi verso casa, ho pensato che cercando neve ho trovato alberi. allora mi è stata chiara la morale della storia: non importa se trovi ciò che cerchi. L'importante è cercare qualcosa.
Ma prima di lasciare il parco, ho scattato anche una foto alla neve. (cfr. all. 10) Perché al parco di notte ci sono stato peddavero.
Fine.
Domanda: se io non avessi scritto nulla e avessi postato solo le foto degli alberi...in silenzio, senza storia ne racconti... come avreste accolto le foto dei rami? Sono banali o meritavano?
So già che Monta direbbe di no, anche perché è incazzato del furto del suo ipod.
La luz está ahí; es un regalo.
Quizás, intentando emular luz natural en un editor de imágenes estás malversando tu tiempo y restando superficie a tu espacio.

CUBITY – erstes Plusenergiestudentenwohnheim der Welt
Aufgabenstellung
Wettbewerbsgelände in Versailles
Als Neuerung zu den Vorgängerveranstaltungen sollen im Kontext des kommenden Solar Decathlon Europa in Versailles erstmalig die Teilnehmer für die Dauer der Veranstaltung in unmittelbarer Nähe zu den Exponaten untergebracht werden.
In Idee und Konzeption einem olympischen Dorf nicht unähnlich entsteht auf einem idealstadtartigen Rastergrundriss mit den Parzellenmaßen 15 x 15m eine temporäre Siedlung aus marktüblichen Raumzellen.
Die TU Darmstadt – Prof Manfred Hegger und Prof. Anett Joppien – wurden vom Direktor des Solar Decathlon Europe, Pascal Rollet eingeladen eine der Parzelle innerhalb dieses Grids eigenständig zu beplanen und ein Team von 30-40 Decathleten für die Dauer des Wettbewerbes unterzubringen.
Seitens des Auslobers verknüpfen sich mit der Einladung an die TU Darmstadt hohe Erwartungen an einen innovativen, nachhaltigen und sowohl technisch-energetisch als auch architektonisch hochwertigen und zukunftsweisenden Beitrag.
Flächenoptimierung und Nutzungsflexibilität stehen dabei als Mittel der wirtschaftlichen Optimierung im Focus der Untersuchungen der Frage nach zeitgemäßen Formen temporären Wohnens.
Auf Basis von 10 – 12 gleichartigen Modulen soll ein eigenständiges Wohncluster entwickelt und innerhalb des „Decathletendorfes“ errichtet werden.
Nach Abschluss des Solar Decathlon Ende Juli 2014 werden die Module dann demontiert und in Darmstadt als Studentenwohnungen mit geringerer Belegungsdichte wieder aufgebaut.
Programm
Perspektive des Wettbewerbsgeländes in Versailles
Es soll ein zweigeschossiger Cluster mit der Dimension von 15 x 15m im Raster entworfen werden. In dieses Raster – Grid – werden zehn bis zwölf Module angeordnet.
Die Dächer können von den Studenten als Dachterrassen oder Dachgärten eingesetzt oder durch Energieerzeugungsanlagen genutzt werden.
Die Größe der einzelnen Module – Units – Elemente sind durch die Studenten frei wählbar. Voraussetzung ist jedoch, dass die Module per LKW transportiert werden können. Während des Solar Decathlons sind drei bis vier Bewohner und somit drei bis vier Schlafplätze, pro Modul unterzubringen.
Die Nachnutzung auf der Darmstäder Lichtwiese sieht lediglich einen Studierenden pro Modul vor.
Die Studenten stehen hier vor der Aufgabe das Modul auch für eine vollwertige, mehrjährige Nutzungsdauer durch eine Person auszulegen.
Ziele
Mit der Entwicklung eines zukunftsfähigen und innovativen vorgefertigten Wohnmoduls verbinden sich folgende Ansprüche:

By TIM FAULKNER/ecoRI News staff This solar home features high-tech fabrics made in New England. It will soon be disassembled and shipped to France for a solar-home competition. (Tim Faulkner/ecoRI News) PROVIDENCE — A home that uses the same amount of power as a hair dryer is on its way to France for a student solar competition.
The futuristic Techstyle Haus, made of high-tech fabric and steel, is the culmination of 18 months of shared work by students from Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University and the University of Applied Sciences in Germany. The 200-square-foot structure is one of 20 entrants by university teams in the 2014 Solar Decathlon Europe, an international competition to build a full-scale, functional, solar structure. Techstyle Haus has one bedroom and one bath, a kitchen and a multi-functional open space that can accommodate more bedrooms. The competition requires the home to be off-the-grid and energy efficient. Flexible solar panels generate electricity and heat water. A rainwater collection system supplies water. Wastewater flows through a gray water system and is discharged through an on-site septic system. Super-insulated floors and walls and a energy-recovery system provide high efficiency. "For us it’s a way of pushing boundaries and questioning how homes are really built,” said Jason Askew, a third-year student in RISD’s graduate architecture program. The competition has a strong focus on architectural design to challenge the notion that solar and energy-efficient homes are boxy, with unsightly solar panels. Solar homes, Askew said, can be “exuberant, playful and beautiful.” The home’s shell, walls and insulation use innovative fabrics researched by RISD’s textile department. The fiberglass-based Sheerfill, made in New Hampshire, provides the fabric shell. The white fabric is commonly used as a cover for athletic stadiums and other large structures, such as Denver International Airport. The competition's homes also are designed to be mobile to challenge the concept of suburban sprawl and reduce impacts on open space. By mid-June, the home and about 40 student from the U.S.-German team will join the other entrants in a temporary solar community on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. Each collegiate team's entry is judged on aesthetics, innovation, efficiency and livability. The structure was assembled at a local office park and is slowly being dismantled and stored in two shipping containers for an ocean voyage to France. Watch a live feed of the disassembly here. The Techstyle Haus team is one of two entrants from the United States. The other is a partnership between Appalachian State University and a French university.
RISD associate professor of architecture John Knowles first entered RISD in the 2005 Solar Decathlon in Washington, D.C. That home now sits at Portsmouth Abbey School in Portsmouth, not far from the private school’s wind turbine. The Solar Decathlon began in 2002 through the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s held alternate years in United States and Europe. China recently joined the program.
Contest 1: Architecture
Teams are required to design and build attractive, high-performance houses that integrate solar and energy-efficiency technology seamlessly into the design. A jury of professional architects evaluates team construction documents and the final constructed house. They evaluate three main factors: architectural elements, holistic design, and inspiration.
For the Market Appeal Contest, teams build their houses for a target market of their choosing. Teams are then asked to demonstrate the potential of their houses to keep costs affordable within that market. A jury of professionals from the homebuilding industry evaluates how well suited each house is for everyday living; determines whether the construction documents would enable a contractor to construct the house as intended, and assesses whether the house offers potential homebuyers within the target market a good value.
Contest 3: Engineering
Solar Decathlon houses are marvels of modern engineering, and this contest “checks under the hood.” A jury of professional engineers evaluates each house for functionality, efficiency, innovation, and reliability.
Contest 4: Communications
The Solar Decathlon challenges teams to communicate about the technical aspects of their houses, as well as their experiences, to a wide audience through Web sites and exhibits of their houses on the National Mall. The Communications Contest awards points to teams based on their success in delivering clear and consistent messages and images that represent the vision, process, and results of each team’s project. A jury of Web site development and public relations experts will evaluate the team Web sites, communications plans, and student-led house tours for effectiveness.
Contest 5: Affordability
New for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011, the Affordability Contest encourages teams to design and build affordable houses that combine energy-efficient construction and appliances with renewable energy systems. A professional estimator will determine the construction cost of each house. Teams can earn the maximum possible 100 points for achieving a target construction cost of $250,000 or less. A sliding point scale will be applied to houses with estimated construction costs between $250,001 and $600,000. Houses with estimated costs that are more than $600,000 will receive zero points.
Contest 6: Comfort Zone[edit]
Teams competing in the Solar Decathlon design their houses to maintain steady, uniform indoor environmental conditions. During the competition, full points are awarded for maintaining narrow temperature and relative humidity ranges inside the houses.
Contest 7: Hot water
This contest demonstrates that a solar-powered house can provide all of the energy necessary to heat water for domestic uses. Teams score points in this contest by successfully completing several daily hot water draws.
Contest 8: Appliances
The Appliances Contest is designed to mimic the appliance use and amenity in the average U.S. home while using less energy. Points are earned for refrigerating and freezing food, washing and drying laundry, and running the dishwasher.
Contest 9: Home Entertainment
The Home Entertainment Contest is designed to demonstrate that houses powered solely by the sun can deliver more than just basic household functionality. They can also provide a comfortable setting with power for the electronics, appliances, and modern conveniences that we love. The Home Entertainment Contest gauges whether the house has what it takes to be a home. Can it accommodate the pleasures of living, such as sharing meals with friends and family, watching television, or surfing the Web?
Contest 10: Energy Balance
This contest demonstrates that the sun can supply the energy necessary for all the daily energy demands of a small household. For the contest, each house is equipped with Net metering, a utility meter that measures the energy a house produces and consumes over the course of the competition. A team receives full points for producing at least as much energy as its house needs.
Market Appeal Contest
(100 points)
Each U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon team builds its house for a target client of its choosing. The Market Appeal jury, composed of professionals from the homebuilding industry, evaluates the responsiveness of the house design to the characteristics and requirements of that target client. New for 2015, all houses must be designed as primary residences that will be occupied year-round.
The jury considers:
Livability
Does the design offer a safe, functional, convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable place to live?
Does it offer appropriate lighting, entertainment, and other controls?
Does it meet the unique needs and desires of the target client?
Marketability
Does the house have interior and exterior appeal?
Are the material, equipment, and detailing choices appealing?
Do sustainability features and strategies contribute to the house's marketability?
Is the house a good value for potential homebuyers?
Buildability
Do the drawings and construction specifications enable a contractor to generate an accurate construction cost estimate and then construct the house as it was intended it to be built?
Lewis Mumford, KBE (October 19, 1895 – January 26, 1990) was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer. Mumford was influenced by the work of Scottish theorist Sir Patrick Geddes and worked closely with his associate the British sociologist Victor Branford Mumford was also a contemporary and friend of Frank Lloyd Wright, Clarence Stein, Frederic Osborn, Edmund N. Bacon, and Vannevar Bush.
Mumford believed that what defined humanity, what set human beings apart from other animals, was not primarily our use of tools (technology) but our use of language (symbols). He was convinced that the sharing of information and ideas amongst participants of primitive societies was completely natural to early humanity, and had obviously been the foundation of society as it became more sophisticated and complex. He had hopes for a continuation of this process of information “pooling” in the world as humanity moved into the future. Mumford's choice of the word "technics" throughout his work was deliberate. For Mumford, technology is one part of technics. Using the broader definition of the Greek tekhne, which means not only technology but also art, skill and dexterity, technics refers to the interplay of a social milieu and technological innovation—the "wishes, habits, ideas, goals" as well as "industrial processes" of a society. As Mumford writes at the beginning of Technics and Civilization, "other civilizations reached a high degree of technical proficiency without, apparently, being profoundly influenced by the methods and aims of technics."

The instruction of artisans in drawing, painting, modeling, and designing, that they may successfully apply the principles of Art to the requirements of trade and manufacture. Second. The systematic training of students in the practice of Art, in order that they may understand its principles, give instruction to others, or become artists. Third. The general advancement of public Art Education, by the exhibition of works of Art and of Art school studies, and by lectures on Art. TECHSTYLE HAUS is first and foremost a learning tool. By choosing to work with textiles, we are inevitably challenging conventional architectural practices and approaching homebuilding with a fresh perspective. This challenge has encouraged us to consider the problem with playful and willing minds and has given us the opportunity to invent new solutions to old problems.

No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.
L. FRANK BAUM, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
In countries where people have to flee their homes because of persecution and violence, political solutions must be found, peace and tolerance restored, so that refugees can return home. In my experience, going home is the deepest wish of most refugees.

Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 will take place in Versailles, France, 20 teams representing 41 universities have been selected for the competition.
Each project is rated for 10 contests and 6 international juries will establish the winner: an energy-independent housing unit that is affordable, produces as much or more energy than it consumes and fits into the environment of the country of origin. The 2014 event begins June 27 and the Italian team of “RhOME for denCity” is among the participants. RhOME, a home for Rome, is a house for everyone, affordable, sober, with high energy efficiency performances and optimal comfort conditions.
The all-Italian project also involves Solbian with its flexible solar panels which will be integrated in the shading screens of the loggias and cover the electrical requirements of the house.
The key principles behind the project are to re-densify, to re-qualify, to relate, to reduce, to re-green, to re-energize.
The reference model is Rome, analyzed from two points of view: the peripheral area with the presence of illegal buildings close to the ancient ruins and the dismissed railway areas that are often located in city centers of the main Italian towns.
A few more months and then we can follow the RhOME team in a competition that brings together professionals, teachers, students and the general public and raise awareness on the benefits and opportunities offered by the use of renewable energies and by sustainable construction.

PROJECT ROOFTOP
RESPONSIBILITY
It is a big word, maybe too big a word for a project initiated by students. Then again, that is what studying is all about. Taking responsibility for oneself, for one’s surroundings, for the society we live in and for the earth we live on. There are countless opportunities to be responsible every day: for example by switching off the light when leaving the room at 5 A.M. Responsibility starts with what is already there: green areas, Altbauten, Berlin’s war gaps — instead of tearing down and irresponsibly building out of context, the Rooftop House uses existing architectural and social structures. We feel responsible for the city we love, and aim to transport this feeling throughout our house: building with local materials, using renewable energy, integrating into society, drafting a long-lasting solution.
CONNECTIVITY
To connect one another is probably the strongest tool humans have. Today’s problems are too complex to be solved by anyone alone or top-down. Energy efficiency and living space are not two distinct problems but one interconnected challenge. For the shift to renewable energy to become sensible and reliable, a flexible network with smart players such as the Rooftop House is just as necessary as are responsible citizens. The Rooftop House on the Altbau is not a parasite, but contributes to a symbiotic connection between old and new. Connections go beyond constructive details. We have already brought students from entirely different universities together, now we want to re-connect the slowly disintegrating city-dwellers of Berlin, sharing our ideas and passion.
ADAPTABILITY
Adapting to new situations and environments has always been an inevitable feature of life. Our ancestors took this to the extreme when they shifted their home from day to day. Nature does it, too: every kid enjoys watching birds on their spring and fall passage. We are not rolling stones, but we like to wear shorts in summer and scarves in winter. Why don’t our houses? The Rooftop House adapts to the time of day and the seasons through its façade and comfort system. And of course it adapts to its users, their personal needs and moods: for example, opening the bathroom doors divides the otherwise free-flowing space and lets you enjoy the skyline while taking a shower. In a bigger sense, our house can adapt to the particular Altbau situation it encounters by changing the number of modules around our Core.
Questions and Content
The project partakes in the Solar Decathlon 2014 – Green Liver for the City and is among the final 20 participants of the contest. In July 2014 the team will build the developed concept of the solar house in Versailles, France. For this cause more than 40 students have come together from different courses of study from TU Berlin and UdK Berlin. Until the present time, the following courses of study are represented: building technology, architecture, construction engineering, industrial engineering, energy and process technology and mechanical engineering. Team rooftop is supported by various national and international sponsors.
Global energy consumption is constantly rising. A great deal of that energy consumption can be attributed to buildings and private households. Within the scope of the Solar Decathlon 2014, Team rooftop is looking for a possible solution to redesign city life and take advantage of the given potential through the efficient usage of new technologies. In doing so, Team rooftop will regard cost effectiveness, social issues, and the sustainability of the project.
The team is developing a concept for sustainable homes and urban densification in ever-growing cities and plans to use the roof space of the numerous old buildings in Berlin. In order to realize the full potential of the respective houses, Team rooftop decided to develop a housing unit, which can be affixed on different buildings. This housing unit will provide sufficient space for a two-person household and furthermore covers a part of the energy consumption of the subjacent building through solar energy and other sources.
Teams competing in the Solar Decathlon design their houses to maintain steady, uniform indoor environmental conditions. During the competition, full points are awarded for maintaining narrow temperature and relative humidity ranges inside the houses.
Teams are required to design and build attractive, high-performance houses that integrate solar and energy-efficiency technology seamlessly into the design. A jury of professional architects evaluates team construction documents and the final constructed house. They evaluate three main factors: architectural elements, holistic design, and inspiration.
The Prototype
Unicode’s prototype of Orchid House is positioned to apply on the rooftops of urban residential housing and is planned to be an option for offering social housing.
The utilization of roof terrace has its socio-cultural root in Taiwan and the Orchid House is designed with a flexible interior plan to be highly adaptive for various functions and configurations. Such additional roof space is readily feasible for the use as housing, social space, or family gathering in daily life. It also serves as an incentive, once endorsed by the government policy, for existing owners to renovate and improve the value of rooftop, which may otherwise remain underutilized, if not abandoned.
For the SDE 2014 competition, the Orchid House will be configured in an “L” shape containing a typical one-bedroom family unit with a common terrace and rooftop. Furthermore, a “green-core” consists of strategically placed greeneries will also serves to reduce and helps to regulate the indoor microenvironment as well as functional, indoor planting area.

"Quest'anno ha fatto veramente freddo. Un giorno il mio amico/fotografo Luca (conosciuto sul forum di Juza) mi ha ""invitato"" ad andare all'Oasi delle Cicogne di Racconigi ma solo se avesse nevicato. Mi sono alzato presto la mattina e come quando ero piccolo che ci sia alzava la mattina di Natale, con la speranza e la certezza che avesse nevicato ho guardato fuori dalla finestra e con grandissima sorpresa, non solo aveva nevicato, ma veniva già tanta di quella neve che Torino ed i suoi abitanti non se lo ricorda più.
Sono uscito, ho tolto la neve da sopra la macchina e sono andato a casa di Luca, ho parcheggiato nel suo garage e siamo usciti (per fortuna) con il suo fuoristrada con gomme termiche. Per arrivare a Racconigi ci abbiamo messo 1 ora e mezza buona (probabilmente quasi 2).
Il parcheggio del centro cicogne era vuoto. Non era stata neanche tolta la neve. Sono sceso, ho preso la mia attrezzatura, aspettando Luca ho deciso di andare in bagno. Pensavo di non avere problemi di stabilità con la neve così fresca e con gli scarponi tipo Timberland, ed invece dopo meno di 10 metri, un volo eccezionale di quelli che neanche nei film si vedono.
Entriamo nel centro cicogne il primo pezzo del viale era pulito, poi man mano che ci si allontanava dall'ingresso, il percorso era sempre meno praticabile. Addirittura l'ultima porticina prima di entrare nella zona della palude si apriva per poco più di 30 centimetri. Proprio nella zona della palude, dove non ci sono alberi che coprono il percorso l'altezza della neve era impressionante (per essere in pianura e per aver nevicato solo la notte), penso che non c'erano meno di 30-35 centimetri.
La giornata nel capanno è stata breve. Non c'era praticamente nulla, anatre anatre e poi ancora anatre, l'effetto era spettacolare. La superficie della palude era semighiacciata. Il ghiaccio veniva spaccato delle piccole anatre spaccaghiaccio. Con quel freddo le anatre si divertivano anche a mettere la testa sottacqua e lavarsi (viva le piume).
L'unico avvistamento di nota, è stata un'oca, ma non ha assunto una posizione apprezzabile, in più la distanza non permetteva al mio Canon 70-200 F4 + 1.4X di inquadrarla bene.
E' stato molto bello quando l'oca ha preso il volo. Sarà per le dimensioni sarà per il peso, sarà per il freddo ma ha dovuto coprire più della metà della palude in larghezza per prendere il volo. Ho fatto alcune foto, ma la mia inesperienza ed il limite dell'attrezzatura (Canon 450D solo 3 fps, autofuoco non professionale, Canon 70-200 F4 non stabilizzato ed addirittura moltiplicato, quindi messa a fuoco a 5,6) ha reso le foto inutilizzabili per la pubblicazione. Anche se su facebook alcuni amici mi hanno fatto i complimenti.
Ho fatto molte foto alle anatre, in varie pose. Ho notato che la neve dava grossi problemi. Scendevano fiocchi ""enormi"" che facevano impazzire l'autofuoco ed in alcune foto veramente belle davano l'impressione di granelli di polvere bianca sul sensore.
Per tornare a casa ci sono volute altre 3 ore (abbiamo anche mangiato e fatto un salto da Decatlon).
Sotto caso di Luca abbiamo perso altre 2 ore, perchè la mia macchina si è bloccata nel viale perchè c'era troppa neve. Io non ho ne catene ne gomme termiche e mi sono reso conto che mi mancava anche il gancio per farmi trainare. In definitiva è stata una bellissima giornata.
Questa foto l'ho scattata appena fuori dal capanno della palude. Luca aveva cominciato ad avviarsi, mentre io ero un po' più indietro. Nevicava veramente forte, la foto rende solo in parte l'idea. Mi piaceva molto l'idea del fotografo con tutto il suo corredo che piuttosti di fare una foto, non si ferma davanti a nulla."
Praticamente non c'è stata elaborazione. Forse qualche ritocco sul contrasto e l'uso delle curve.
