Resilience and green economies for the future of architecture and the built environment
Over the past decade, the concept of resilience has been strategically and inextricably linked to the main aims of the Green Economy and ‘process circularity’ as applied to the field of the built environment and buildings, starting with the international policy documents published by UNEP in 2008 and by the OECD in 2010. This debate has only just been outlined and there is still plenty of research to be done, but the potential contribution of Technological Design in Architecture seems key. This paper critically analyses the principles, the method- and design-based approaches and the structural strategic measures that can improve the resilience of the built environment, as requested by the European Commission, and considers the prospects for its development in this country, both at a national institutional level and at a local level, primarily gravitating around the strategic working axes that have been outlined – and continue to be pursued – by the States General of the Green Economy.
Climate proofing of the urban environment between process and design: a holistic and participatory methodology
Defining procedural processes to support the involvement and empowerment of citizens, the main target of climate change, in order to integrate them into the holistic process of adaptation to extreme events is nowadays an extremely topical issue. Research is working towards the progressive standardisation of this process. The paper focuses on the outcomes of research on integrating the participatory approach into a methodology for climate proofing of the urban environment. The research results are include directions for increasing resilience through a cyclic step-by-step process for planning, prevention and management of the effects of disasters, centred on the involvement of different stakeholders, as well as the outcomes of the experimentation of such a process on three public housing (ERP) neighbourhoods in Rome.
Retrofitting public space for the environmental and ecosystem quality of “greener” cities
The scientific community has for some time seen a growing awareness that to effectively impact the city’s environmental and ecosystem quality, it is necessary to act not by the sum of point-by-point interventions (as those albeit virtuous ones on the scale of improving the efficiency of the individual buildings have been for decades), but systematically on the urban fabric and on significant parts of it. This is what is represented in the research and in the related applicative experimentation, the result of the combination of two financing operations - the third-party one of a major national body, and the university financing won in a selective competition. These financing operations aim to develop retrofitting actions for public spaces, applied to an area of Rome with established and decayed settlements. The essential idea is to build a use model of “types” of technological/design interventions for their implementation and future application to other settings with similar characteristics, albeit with the essential adaptivities to differences, in such a way as to give the experimentation the role and character of a constant development in progress in methodological approach and in defining strategic and operative frameworks.
District Circular Transition e progettoDistrict Circular Transition and technological design towards a Circular City model
In the processes of urban regeneration, in a circular transition perspective, a multiscalar, integrated and systemic approach allows intervention scenarios to be defined, based on a renewed conception of environmental-economic-social sustainability characterised by circular flows of material and non-material resources. Research results translate these demands into a methodological model at the district scale, trialled in two public housing neighbourhoods in Rome, to turn them into “circular districts”. It is demonstrated that, by applying a circular model of ecological transition to urban districts, the 2050 goal of climate neutrality may be attained, while at the same time improving ecosystemic quality, environmental performance and bioclimatic adaptivity in a wide vision of green cities. 
Environmental Design with Regard to Emergency and Scarce Resources: a few Method Reflections
The essay illustrates a few method or project approach reflections on a range of questions: the ones faced by all branches of knowledge of ‘Environmental Design’. Today, those branches are asked to tackle the broader ‘environmental question’ in a more and more crucial and binding way, and to provide answers to more and more frequent emergency situations, dealing also with increasingly scarce resources in our cities and territories. A few questions are posed: which logic-cognitive phases is it necessary to bear in mind to set a proper changing action? Which criteria – or meta-criteria – is it convenient to adopt in order to direct process, project and product choices? Which is the ideal framework of reference requirements which a changing action should always respect and bear in mind? A framework of possible operative indications may be based on the interdisciplinary approach, typical of Environmental Design, and on meta-criteria; the purpose is to define an open system with nine method requirements for seeking the proper processes for protecting, safeguarding, preserving as well as recovering and changing the environment, increasing its value.
Smart Urban Districts: Dynamic Energy Systems for synergic interactions between Building and City
An important recent conquest, a decisive factor for building an effective intervention vision for the existing consolidated or even historical building stock, is the acquisition of the technological/ design knowledge accompanying the awareness that interventions to reduce the energy requirement may exclude invasive measures on the envelope, if interventions on the forms of energy provision and on the usable air conditioning systems are planned. [...]the position of the existing buildings integrated into the urban context makes them well connected to the functions of supporting the activities and the existing networks. The analysis measured the systems, classifying them by age and type, and by consumption density. [...]the surrounding territory was analyzed from the standpoint of potential energy generation, as there are numerous biogas systems connected to cogeneration plants. The energy upgrade project identified the strategies to prevent invasive interventions on the ancient envelopes, also by identifying, in parallel, the alternative measures for reducing the energy requirement. Since the region has a great production of lumber, cogeneration plants were planned for the generation of thermal energy, deployed on the territory to cover - with the delivery circuit for high-temperature needs, and with the return circuit - the systems in the most recently constructed buildings. First of all, this means that the energy requirements connected with space in neighbourhoods are closely correlated with the potential for using renewable energies at a central or local level.
VERSO UN AMBIENTE COSTRUITO CLIMATE NEUTRAL: SFIDE E STRATEGIE DELLA PROGETTAZIONE AMBIENTALE
A queste sono collegate altre tre macro-criticità che registrano attacchi di portata planetaria ai nostri tre 'capitali'-chiave: il capitale naturale, il capitale sociale e il capitale culturale, e che possiamo definire le macro-criticità della \"insostenibilità sociale e culturale\": 1. indebolimento del capitale sociale e del capacity building, con intensificazione delle emergenze di tipo sociale e abitativo (compresa quella dei flussi migratori), progressivo impoverimento dei cittadini, diminuzione della sicurezza e dei servizi di base alla popolazione, decremento del benessere abitativo generale; 2. erosione del capitale culturale e dell'identità dei luoghi, delle città e dei territori; 3. depauperamento del capitale naturale, degli ecosistemi urbani e consumo dei suoli, che si ricollega direttamente alle tre macro-problematiche ambientali. Si possono dire tante cose a commento degli aspetti che noi definiamo \"la grande accelerazione\", ma certamente non possiamo sottrarci dal tenere presenti i continui avvertimenti e indicazioni dei rapporti prodotti dai più importanti e competenti organismi mondiali sul tema, tra i quali quelli dell'IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) o quelli del IPBES (Intergovernmental science-policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) delle Nazioni Unite. Il primo, tra i tanti, non si stanca mai di avvertire che «Continuando con il trend attuale, le temperature medie globali aumenteranno di 1,5°C entro la prima metà degli anni 2030 con un serio aggravamento delle ondate di calore, delle inondazioni e delle siccità catastrofiche, con gravi crisi della produzione alimentare, aumento della povertà, delle emigrazioni e con ingenti danni economici» (IPCC, 2022); il secondo, nel suo Rapporto \"Global Assessment\" sullo stato del patrimonio naturale mondiale 1970-2020, avverte: «Il tasso di perdita della biodiversità mondiale ha raggiunto negli ultimi cinquant'anni livelli senza precedenti, che comportano impatti e rischi molto rilevanti per le condizioni di vita e per le possibilità non solo di sviluppo ma anche di sopravvivenza stessa dell'umanità» (IPBES, 2023). A premessa di qualsiasi considerazione strategico-operativa a supporto delle possibili risposte a tali sfide, occorre tener presente che il target a cui la Progettazione Ambientale si rivolge nella Società di oggi e del futuro è al contempo quello dei decisori politici e delle istituzioni pubbliche (ai vari livelli, dal centrale-governativo dello Stato, al locale-amministrativo), quello dei responsabili ed elaboratori delle attività di pianificazione e progettazione (da intendersi in senso a-scalare e interdisciplinare, nei vari settori: uffici tecnici pubblici, studi di architettura e di ingegneria, pianificatori, urbanisti, architetti, progettisti, società di progettazione), quello del mondo delle imprese e dei produttori (industrie di medie e grandi dimensioni, aziende artigiane, soggetti coinvolti sia nelle filiere della produzione di materiali e componenti per l'edilizia e l'urbanistica, sia in quelle della realizzazione delle costruzioni edili e infrastrutturaliurbane) (Fondazione per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile, 2014; WEF, 2017a), e quello della dimensione umana costituita dai cittadini, dagli utenti, dagli abitanti, dai fruitori, col fine ultimo di arrivare ad avere ricadute e benefìci sulla società nel suo complesso (CRESME, 2017). Pilastri della Progettazione ambientale climaticamente consapevole Alla luce di queste prime considerazioni è importante chiarire che il corretto approccio a una Progettazione ambientalmente consapevole e 'Climate Neutral' è quello che ha tenuto - e tiene tuttora - in costante riferimento e considerazione i 10 pilastri su cui si deve poggiare sinergicamente ogni attività finalizzata a dar voce al significato più profondo di Progettazione Ambientale: - una visione di sviluppo che tenda all'attuazione dell'ormai stratificato e codificato principio di 'Sviluppo sostenibile', nel rispetto delle diversità culturali e delle peculiarità dei luoghi antropizzati; una stratificazione di significato e di provvedimenti che va dal primo Rapporto Brundtland di quasi quarant'anni fa (WCED, 1987), alla Strategia 2020 messa a punto nel 2010 dalla Unione Europea «per una crescita sostenibile, intelligente e inclusiva, quale passo fondamentale da compiere verso la creazione di una nuova governance europea incentrata sui bisogni della società e di tutto il pianeta, così come sugli stretti legami tra politiche economiche, sociali, culturali e ambientali, compresi i posti di lavoro green» (European Commission, 2010), successivamente riaffermata nell'Iniziativa per le professioni nel settore Green \"Tapping into the job creation potential of the green economy\" (European Commission, 2014), all'Enciclica papale sull'Ambiente \"Laudato si\" (Papa Francesco, 2015), fino ai 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development (United Nations, 2016) con i relativi impatti (WBCSD, 2016; WBCSD, 2017); - una fondativa consapevolezza, quella della criticità e gravità epocali assunte dalla 'Crisi climatica', che sta condizionando gli scenari e orientando le principali innovazioni nelle scelte di politica economica, ambientale, sociale, in gran parte del mondo e certamente in Europa e nel nostro Paese (IPCC, 2016; WEF, 2017b; WEF, 2020; Crespi et al., 2020; Braun and Kropp, 2023; IPCC, 2023; Copernicus, 2024; WEF, 2024), con tappa fondamentale l'Accordo e la Decisione della COP 21 di Parigi che «hanno segnato un cambio di passo globale nel far fronte alla crisi climatica, non solo per il contenuto letterale dei documenti approvati, ma per il significato strategico assunto dal processo reale in atto che con questo Accordo ha trovato un punto di svolta e di nuova spinta mondiale» da parte di 195 governi di altrettanti Paesi firmatari (United Nations, 2015; Fondazione Sviluppo Sostenibile, 2016a; 2016b); - una ulteriore consapevolezza, quella sulla centralità di ruolo esercitata nelle prospettive di sviluppo delle nostre realtà abitate dalla questione della 'Efficienza energetica' - e più in generale del rapporto tra Architettura ed Energia - questione sulla quale la Comunità Europea ha investito
Technological energy and environmental refurbishment of historical Italian libraries
Active libraries in Italy are around 13.000 and, taken as a whole, the property and management relate mainly to public institutions such as the state, regions, local authorities, cultural institutions, universities, and partly to religious institutions and individuals. In this paper is presented the work of studies and research, commissioned to the authors by the General Direction for Libraries of the Ministry of Heritage and Culture (Mibac), which ended recently, addressing the architectural, energy and environmental refurbishment of national historic libraries distributed on the Italian territory, with special focus on 4 among 46 owned by the Ministry of Culture (the Nazionale Centrale di Roma, the Nazionale Centrale in Florence, the national University of Turin and the Angelica in Rome) believed by the authors and client as examples of recurring issues and ideals to lend itself to the construction of a model of intervention replicable on other historical Italian libraries.The main objective of the project is the identification of physical and perceptual factors of wear2, which threaten the conservation of the historical and artistic heritage of the historic center of Venice, with a particular focus on the effects of anthropogenic pressure linked to tourism, and the evaluation of their level of danger. A further objective is the recognition of measurable parameters (indicators) for monitoring and, subsequently, mitigation strategies for the most significant phenomena.
