Prefabrication was the instrument by which European countries, both the Eastern and the Western countries, sought to cope with the growing demand for housing after the Second World War. In the Soviet Union and the socialist countries, this choice is closely linked to the construction of the communist society. The paper analyzes the housing and construction models developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1950s and subsequently exported to Eastern Bloc countries, focusing on the Albanian case study. The survey aims to define the main characteristics of the buildings with these systems, in terms of seismic resistance and energy performance.

La particolare congiuntura che stiamo vivendo sembra imporre non solo un cambio di registro per le mutate condizioni, ma soprattutto la costruzione di nuovi ruoli in una diversa prospettiva di crescita e di sviluppo della societa e dell’economia. All’interno di un quadro poco chiaro e controverso delle condizioni attuali, l’universita si trova a dover affrontare - al di la delle retoriche - un ruolo decisivo per rilanciare il processo di cambiamento, dovendo ridelineare le sue missioni ma soprattutto il suo ruolo all’interno di un contesto in profondo mutamento

In un momento di grande trasformazione come quello che stiamo vivendo s’impone una riflessione attenta sul processo di rinnovamento dell’universita, soprattutto perche molte delle innovazioni che si vanno introducendo siano concretamente adeguate alla domanda sociale e soprattutto perche l’universita possa costituire realmente un fattore strategico per la ripresa e la crescita. L’intento di questa raccolta di riflessioni e quello di inserirsi in una stagione di rinnovata riflessione sul tema del rapporto tra sistema urbano e sistema universitario, che costituisce certamente una delle piu articolate e rilevanti problematiche di analisi per la nostra disciplina come molti dei saggi qui raccolti dimostrano pur nella pluralita degli approcci proposti

Since the origins, planning has been conceived as a technique, then as a science for the transformation of natural resources (first of all the soil) to respond to economic and social needs of a small community, first, and then for a fast-growing and more complex society. According to this deeprooted approach, environment has been actually considered as a means for development to be used unconditionally. In Italy, since the 1970s the economic development involved a strong process of urbanization, by the sprawl of residential areas far away from big cities’ areas as well as the sprawl of factories from big industrial plants concentration. In the last years, various regional governments (that in Italy are in charge of planning and environment protection) have been trying to introduce sustainable principles and a framework to conceive, draw up and carry out plans and projects for a concrete sustainable land use and an effective environmental protection.
