Winner of the 1938 Littoriali della Cultura e dell’Arte, the project for a Hotel-Refuge in Valmalenco (2000 m altitude) by Gianni Albricci (1916-2001) and Marco Zanuso (1916-2001) was conceived by two young students from the Faculty of Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. The skillful design combines traditional alpine materials with innovative solutions, reflecting the autarkic policies of
The Students’ Union Building (THS) at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, inaugurated in October 1930 shortly after the Stockholm Exhibition, is a key work in Swedish modernism. Designed by Sven Markelius and Uno Åhrén after their 1928 competition win, it embodied funkis ideals, as a result of a new architectural vision shaped by foreign impulses. Yet the history of the students’
At the Röhsska Museet in Göteborg, the retrospective Asplund och rådhuset (27 September 2025–30 August 2026) has brought to light previously unpublished materials on the extension of the courthouse, offering new ways of understanding one of the longest and most complex episodes in Swedish modern architecture.
In Aldo Rossi’s theoretical and design work, the dwelling occupies a central position, as it is closely connected to the morphological, structural, and cultural aspects of the city. During his early years, Rossi developed a language that combined rationality and emotion, devoting particular attention to the study of the distribution of domestic spaces and extending his theoretical inquiry to the c
Throughout the twentieth century, tourism has been a key driver of transformation in Alpine regions, fostering urbanisation and reshaping landscapes and cultural practices. In recent years, however, climate change, socio-economic shifts, and evolving patterns of mobility have redefined its role, producing increasing territorial polarisation between overcrowded destinations and fragile, marginal ar
Often described as “a Swedish Davos” Åre represents one of the most emblematic cases of winter tourism development in Scandinavia and offers a significant point of comparison with the Alpine context. Although located at modest absolute elevations, the combination of latitude and altitude places Åre in a subarctic environmental condition comparable to high Alpine settings, where timberline, snow pe
Energy systems are in need of fundamental transformations to achieve climate mitigation and adaptation goals. Cities are particular targets of energy transformation due to high energy demands as well as opportunities to generate, distribute, and use energy more effectively. In Europe, Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) embody an ambitious socio-technical vision to transform urban energy systems. The
Den kommende norske kvantestrategien skaper forventninger. I Forskningspolitikk 2/2026 understreker Monika Sandnesmo og Carina Hundhammer i Norsk kvanteklynge behovet for sterkere satsing på forskning, bedre rammevilkår og en tydelig innovasjons- og industridimensjon. De etterlyser en strategi som kobler forskningsmiljøene tettere til eksisterende industri, brukermiljøer, kapital og offentlig sekt
This thesis investigates atmospheric dispersion, internal contamination monitoring, and biokinetic behaviour following inhalation of radionuclides released in a postulated loss-of-coolant accident at the European Spallation Source. The findings provide insight into the factors governing the transport, detection, and dosimetric assessment of inhaled radionuclides, supporting the development of appr
The use of moment-connections with dowel-type connectors and slotted-in steel plates is becoming an increasingly used solution in mid- to high-rise timber structures. In this paper, the moment capacity and rotational stiffness of such moment connections have been studied through a limited experimental campaign with specimens climatised between 30% and 95% relative humidity (RH). The test specimens
The actor model of computation is an attractive representation for many applications because it explicitly captures concurrency and supports compile-time analyses such as buffer sizing and static scheduling. However, descriptions of applications in this model are often tied to specific frameworks and programming languages, making it difficult to integrate other frontends or target alternative arch
