Konstruktion und Concetto. Die römischen Katafalke für Kardinal Alessandro Farnese (1589), Papst Sixtus V. (1591) und Principe Carlo Barberini (1630)

In Rom entstand im ausgehenden 16. Jahrhundert die Gattung des „Tempietto-Katafalks“, eines Trauergerüsts in Form eines überkuppelten Zentralbaus, der anlässlich der feierlichen Exequien eines hochrangigen Verstorbenen die symbolische Totenbahre als anspruchsvolle ephemere Kleinarchitektur überfängt. Anhand dreier herausragender Beispiele, der Katafalke für Kardinal Alessandro Farnese, Papst Sixtus V. und Principe Carlo Barberini, sollen die architektonische Gestalt der Funeraltempietti und ihre symbolische Aussage näher beleuchtet werden. Dabei soll weniger die Ikonographie der figürlichen Ausstattung im Mittelpunkt stehen als vielmehr die “Sprachfähigkeit” der gewählten architektonischen Formen, die bei den hier vorgestellten römischen Katafalken ein zentraler Teil der Gesamtkonzepts ist. Dabei sind sowohl der Festanlass – die Memoria des verstorbenen Würdenträgers – als auch die Architektur selbst zum Thema gemacht.

Sepulchre

The work in Sepulchre (2015) came from my research into female ritual practices and my fascination with specific mythological and historical narratives. These themes were explored during a month-long Summer Residency at Boxcopy Contemporary Artspace. Of particular note were the chronicles and rituals from the terrain around the Adriatic Sea, including Greece and Italy. During the residency, I kept referring to specific mythological texts, which had women as the main protagonists. I kept returning to female characters whose representation was framed by aspects of their sexuality. When looking at these women together, they seemed to sit within a greater narrative archetype, a communal dialogue of shared characteristics, repetitious narrative components and mutual landscapes. Sepulchre became my attempt to develop a conversation between these women by drawing from their commonality, and reimagining these collective elements into sculptural objects and moving images. The video explores an apotropaic gesture, a Baubo-style ‘flashing’. A glass star chart rests on white cliffs, speaking to the narrative of Andromeda and her position as both a celestial and terrene landscape. Another object, a wall mounted copper light burst, pays homage to the framing device used by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. By reconciling these dialogues, I was interested in exploring expanded portrayals of female sexuality and depictions of subversive and authorial femininity, developed through connotations with mysticism, ritual practice and women’s knowledge.

Giovanni Battista Montano as Architectural Draughtsman: Recording the Past and Designing the Future

Giovanni Battista Montano (1534-1621), who was born in Milan and trained as a woodcarver, relocated permanently to Rome in the early 1570s where his interest in sculpting was replaced by intense study of the city’s antique monuments and ruins. Although Montano carried out several sculptural and architectural projects during his time in Rome, it is his surviving corpus of drawings that testifies to his passion of exploring ancient architecture through the medium of drawing. While Montano was not famous during his lifetime, a large body of his intriguing designs became celebrated and widely circulated after his death thanks to the 1624 publication of Montano’s designs by his loyal pupil, Giovanni Battista Soria. Montano’s lifelong work differs from virtually all of his predecessors and contemporaries in its “fantastical” and ornamental nature. This thesis explores Montano’s artistic training as it relates to his later interest in imaginatively reconstructing antique buildings, along with his disregard for archaeological or historical accuracy. The subject matter upon which Montano focused is discussed, along with his objective in creating a large corpus of half-historical, half-invented drawings. His drawing techniques are explored with specific reference to the largest group of extant Montano drawings, today housed in Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, England, and also in reference to three original Montano drawings in the Centre Canadien d’Architecture/Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montréal. Also explored is the legacy and impact of Montano’s drawings and the later publications of his designs on the works of Roman Baroque architects, specifically Borromini and Bernini. This thesis ultimately attempts to understand the impact of the intellectual and artistic environment surrounding Montano in late sixteenth and early seventeenth century Rome, his drawing techniques, his choice of subject matter, and the reception that his unique works received from contemporary artists and intellectuals, along with those of the following generation.

Uncertainty Characterization Of A Conceptual Rainfall-Runoff Model By Using Grey Numbers

A procedure for characterizing global uncertainty of a rainfall-runoff simulation model based on using grey numbers is presented. By using the grey numbers technique the uncertainty is characterized by an interval; once the parameters of the rainfall-runoff model have been properly defined as grey numbers, by using the grey mathematics and functions it is possible to obtain simulated discharges in the form of grey numbers whose envelope defines a band which represents the vagueness/uncertainty associated with the simulated variable. The grey numbers representing the model parameters are estimated in such a way that the band obtained from the envelope of simulated grey discharges includes an assigned percentage of observed discharge values and is at the same time as narrow as possible. The approach is applied to a real case study highlighting that a rigorous application of the procedure for direct simulation through the rainfall-runoff model with grey parameters involves long computational times. However, these times can be significantly reduced using a simplified computing procedure with minimal approximations in the quantification of the grey numbers representing the simulated discharges. Relying on this simplified procedure, the conceptual rainfall-runoff grey model is thus calibrated and the uncertainty bands obtained both downstream of the calibration process and downstream of the validation process are compared with those obtained by using a well-established approach, like the GLUE approach, for characterizing uncertainty. The results of the comparison show that the proposed approach may represent a valid tool for characterizing the global uncertainty associable with the output of a rainfall-runoff simulation model.

Governança e alinhamento de conceitos no contexto das políticas públicas: um complemento ao estudo de caso do fundo municipal dos direitos da criança e do adolescente de São Paulo

As implicações e desafios da governança, gestão e controles vêm ganhando relevância tanto no âmbito do setor privado como do setor público. Apesar da dificuldade de convergência de conceitos, no campo teórico, a linha mais pragmática de Códigos de Melhores Práticas vem permitindo criar e disseminar elementos para orientar e formalizar meios para o aprimoramento institucional, tanto de organizações do segundo e do terceiro setor, como para o próprio setor público. Este estudo propôs-se a resenhar a literatura sobre governança, tanto corporativa como pública, buscando identificar o alinhamento de conceitos e práticas. Destaque foi dado à inciativa do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) que, em 2014, elaborou dois marcos para o avanço no campo da governança pública: o referencial básico de governança aplicável a órgãos e entidades da administração pública e o referencial para avaliação de governança em políticas públicas, documentos que se aplicam como guias para a modernização do Fundo Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente de São Paulo (FUMCAD-SP), objeto de estudo de caso apresentado no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Políticas Públicas da Escola de Administração de Empresas da Fundação Getúlio Vargas em São Paulo, por Maitê Fernandez Gauto, Elias de Souza e Eduardo José Bernini, em 2015.

Avaliação da aplicação eficiente dos recursos do FUMCAD como instrumento da política pública : estudo de caso do fundo municipal da criança e do adolescente de São Paulo

A avaliação da eficiência da aplicação de recursos públicos vai muito além da simples análise da legalidade, probidade e presteza dos procedimentos administrativos. Está relacionada também à qualidade dos serviços prestados diante do investimento realizado e dos resultados pretendidos. O presente estudo analisa a aplicação dos recursos do Fundo Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente de São Paulo (FUMCAD-SP), com o objetivo de oferecer à Secretaria Municipal de Direitos Humanos e Cidadania reflexões sobre as práticas de gestão que impactam diretamente na qualidade dos investimentos realizados, bem como na capacidade de avaliar investimentos perante os desafios colocados pelas políticas de atenção a crianças e adolescentes e recomendações aos gestores do fundo, visando a qualificação dos instrumentos de planejamento, monitoramento e avaliação dos projetos financiados, sob a perspectiva do FUMCAD-SP como instrumento da política pública de crianças e adolescentes. Para isso, foram analisados dados e informações – os quais compreenderam o período de 2005 a 2015, com significativas diferenças na qualidade de sua sistematização ao longo do período – referentes às práticas de gestão administrativa e governança do fundo, assim como seus instrumentos de planejamento, monitoramento e avaliação. A proposta também abarcou entrevistas com os principais atores dos órgãos envolvidos na gestão do fundo, visando identificar informações qualitativas que pudessem qualificar as recomendações que serão apresentadas neste estudo.

Karyotype analysis in Brachiaria (Poaceae) species

This is the first karyotype characterization of Brachiaria species. Twelve accessions belonging to five species were analysed. The basic chromosome number was x = 9 and 7, the same reported for the tribe Paniceae. Variations in the chromosome number were observed in B. decumbens (2n = 18; 36) and B. humidicola (20 = 36; 42; 54). Chromosome numbers of 20 = 18 in B. ruziziensis and 20 = 36 in B. brizantha and B. jubata were recorded. Inter- and intraspecific karyotype differentiation of the accessions analysed was facilitated by variations in karyotypic symmetry. The karyotypes were generally considered symmetrical, with a tendency to asymmetry in the direction of the polyploids. It is suggested that addition, deletions and mainly polyploidy have been the most direct causes involved in the chromosome evolution of this genus.

Fragmento d'alma

Fragmento D' Alma is an artistic research that part of a poetic tale through an initial charge of dawn one fantastic universe where words have life and willingly. The work includes sculptural works in order to interpret through the use of allegory situations of the tale in the form of sculptural compositions considering one or more characters in the story. In the sculptural work, I tried figuring the relations tale as my interpretations and poetic, so I sought theoretical studies of allegory after noting my affinity with the theme to contribute to the relationship text and image set in my work. I also sought to understand the relationships that the text played with sculptural work, so the chances that I could address this through dialogue between text and image. The studies collected through surveys pointed allegory by João Adolfo Hansen, as well as in various artistic and visual references present in my repertoire, such as the Baroque sculpture of Bernini, the performances of Berna Reale and literature of Neil Gaiman, contributed in this research to the development of my creative process during the preparation of this research work of art, making the complexity of the relationship between textual production and poetic sculptural three-dimensional, also became a concern and an integral theme of my work and my reflections presented here. Therefore, I conclude based on my own experience in this work, the artistic research inspired allegory might contribute to the development of my creative process during the preparation of this artwork, besides assigning relations between textual production and poetic dimensional sculpture
