The Impact of 3D Digital Modeling on the 3D Design Aspects in Urban Design Plans
Some experts suggest that urban design plans in US cities may lack adequate coverage of the three-dimensional design aspects of the built environment. 3D digital models may help designers visualize and interact with design alternatives, large urban data sets, and 3D information more effectively, thus correcting this problem. Case studies of recent urban design plans that have used 3D digital models may indicate whether these technologies can increase the quality of the plan. This research discus

L’idea di uomo in Bruner: predisposizione ad apprendere ed organizzazione delle conoscenze. (prima
La concezione antropologica del Bruner è profondamente debitrice della tradizione evoluzionistica e del pragmatismo americano. Tale debito non è scontato, e per questo motivo, si approfondiscono tali tradizioni di riferimento, in modo da consentire una corretta contestualizzazione del cosiddetto " strumentalismo evolutivo" cui Bruner lega la sua idea di uomo. Ma questa idea si fa anche progetto in virtù di alcune peculiari caratteristiche - strumentali appunto -, in virtù delle quali si gius
