The area of the Strait of Messina, covering a strip of land that runs from Gioia Tauro to Melito Porto Salvo, on the Calabrian side and from Milazzo to Giardini Naxos on the Sicilian side, is bounded by the Aspromonte Massif and Peloritani Chain that create a room in the landscape: the empty water square of the Strait. The Strait described in the plans proposed by Giuseppe and Alberto Samonà, Ludovico Quaroni, Antonio Quistelli, Sergio Musmeci, Paolo d'Orsi Villani, Leonardo Urbani, shows in the main towns of Reggio Calabria and Messina a spatial Euclidean metric recognizable in the precise design of the block drawn during the postwar period. The extension in length that characterizes this territory determines transport problems. The Strait is daily crossed, by the network of links between the two sides as filaments of a commuter traffic between two strips of land whose distance has always been too small to separate their destinies and too wide to facilitate the union. It follows the need for a reflection about the infrastructural system of the district, about the issues of accessibility and of crossing; the system of ports and airports as access doors to the entire geographical area in scale with the nature and size of its traffics.

ABSTRACT This paper explores and explains the relationship between interorganizational sustainable innovation processes and the elements of a national sustainable innovation system in building. The literature proposes that this relationship is characterized by mutual reinforcement. This paper integrates the interorganizational innovation process- and the national innovation systems-approach into a new model. A case research project, that covers a sixteen-year period of sustainable innovations in the Dutch residential building industry, investigates the interplay between process and systematic sustainable innovation within the structure of the model. The research project indicates, illustrates, and explains how interorganizational sustainable innovation processes and a national sustainable innovation system in building co-develop in an interactive and mutually reinforcing process. In this process, the national system for sustainable innovation in building provides the structure in which the interorganizational sustainable innovative building processes develop. Simultaneously, the interorganizational sustainable innovative building processes stimulate the development of a national system of sustainable building innovation.

Located nowadays in the west zone of the Montemor-o-Novo’s Castle, the Igreja de Santa Maria do Bispo was established there in the first years of the 14th century. The first documented reference to it dates from 1321, when most of the village was still located inside the fortified walls. Once a magnificent building of three naves sustained on fourteen stone columns, today only the ruins of its majestic manuelino style portal and its chapels at the head of the church remain. Around 1524, centuries after the conclusion of the initial architectural works, a new campaign was started on a time when the outskirts of the village of Montemor-o-Novo became more and more its economical epicenter. During the reign of king D. João III of
Portugal, this construction campaign implied an almost complete reconstruction under the manuelino renovador style. It is precisely this phase that we are bringing back, via 3D scan and 3D modeling and through a reading of the Archaeology of
Architecture of the existing ruins of the Igreja de Santa Maria do
Bispo, in Montemor-o-Novo.

La recherche présentée ici, s’inscrit dans le champ des sciences de la conception et concerne la thématique du processus de conception des architectes et leurs opérations cognitives. Elle se s’intéresse à l’anticipation, la simulation de ce qui va se passer après la construction du bâtiment : la rencontre avec des habitants, des utilisateurs. La notion de réception est alors étudiée pour désigner ce phénomène. La notion de « conception de la réception » est introduite pour désigner la conception non pas de l’objet architectural avec ses formes ses matières et ses mesures, mais de l’expérience de cet objet, de modes d’habiter, de scénarios d’usages, de projet de vie. L’hypothèse d’une conception ou invention d’usages est donc examinée. L’investigation est menée sur deux plans, l’un épistémique (exploration de modèles théoriques à partir de l’architecturologie et de la systémique), l’autre empirique (études de cas particuliers de conceptions).


The research takes place in the field of design studies and concerns the thematic of the architects’ conception process and their cognitive operations. The purpose is to examine how they anticipate and simulate what will happen after the construction of the building: the meeting with inhabitants, users. The notion of reception is studied to refer to this phenomenon. The notion of “conception of reception” is introduced to describe the conception of the experience of architecture, ways to inhabitate it, uses scenarios, life projects, and not the conception of the architectural object itself (with its’ form, matter and measures). The hypothesis of a conception or invention of usages is therefore examined. The research is conducted on two levels, an epistemic one (exploration of theoretical models from “architecturologie” and system theory), and an empirical one (specific case study).
