Innovative Models for Sustainable Development in Emerging African Countries
This open access book explores key issues and presents recent case studies in areas of importance for the transition to a circular model of development in emerging African countries that will minimize resource consumption and waste production. The topics covered include the development of sustainable housing models, energy and environmental issues in building design and technical systems, recycling for a sustainable future, models for humanitarian emergencies, and low-cost and web-based digital tools with applications in architecture and archaeology. The aim is to contribute to a necessary paradigm shift with respect to urban planning and usage of territories, moving from a linear urban metabolism based on the “take, make, dispose” approach to a circular metabolism. Such a change requires a focus on the relationship between the architectural, urban, and physical aspects of new developments, climate, and energy demand, as well as the identification and integration of strategies and infrastructures to achieve a high level of efficiency and self-sufficiency. The book will appeal to all with an interest in sustainable development in the African context.
Regeneration of the Built Environment from a Circular Economy Perspective
This open access book explores the strategic importance and advantages of adopting multidisciplinary and multiscalar approaches of inquiry and intervention with respect to the built environment, based on principles of sustainability and circular economy strategies. A series of key challenges are considered in depth from a multidisciplinary perspective, spanning engineering, architecture, and regional and urban economics. These challenges include strategies to relaunch socioeconomic development through regenerative processes, the regeneration of urban spaces from the perspective of resilience, the development and deployment of innovative products and processes in the construction sector in order to comply more fully with the principles of sustainability and circularity, and the development of multiscale approaches to enhance the performance of both the existing building stock and new buildings. The book offers a rich selection of conceptual, empirical, methodological, technical, and case study/project-based research. It will be of value for all who have an interest in regeneration of the built environment from a circular economy perspective.
MIAW 2023
MIAW 2023 is the eleventh edition of the Milan International Architecture Workshop, the intriguing di-dactic experiment providing, since 2010, the students of our School enrolled in different programmes the opportunity to discuss a challenging topic through an intensive teaching method, the workshop, within a broad and rich training context represented by the visiting professors coming from different places all over the world.
Buildings for Education
This open access book presents theoretical and practical research relating to the vast, publicly financed program for the construction of new schools and the reorganization of existing educational buildings in Italy. This transformative process aims to give old buildings a fresh identity, to ensure that facilities are compliant with the new educational and teaching models, and to improve both energy efficiency and structural safety with respect to seismic activity. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses on the social role of the school as a civic building that can serve the needs of the community. Innovations in both design and construction processes are then ana...
Aldo Rossi and the Spirit of Architecture
This beautifully illustrated book provides a crucial new look at Aldo Rossi's built work in relationship to his writings, drawings, and product design, and explores his contributions to the architecture in postwar Italy.
MIAW 2021
The MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the Politecnico di Milano – School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, that provides an international design forum for schools, teachers, and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss issues and share ambitions that education implies. It aims to stimulate cross-over thinking between researchers and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. The MIAW 2021 edition focused on the 2026 Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina. The workshop experimented with new design approaches to make the Olympic Games physically responsible, socially sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
MIAW 2022
The MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the Politecnico di Milano, School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, that provides an international design forum for schools, teachers and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss issues and share ambitions that education implies. Its aim is to stimulate cross-over thinking between researches and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. Each class has an international guest professor of high profile whose activity and interests are related to the different study courses and disciplinary areas characterising our School.
Ambienti flessibili. Creatività, inclusione, ecologia, reale/virtuale. Teorie e buone pratiche per l’architettura
La progettazione di ambienti flessibili è un tema contemporaneo, che porta a riflettere su teorie e pratiche innovative al fine di rendere la società inclusiva e sostenibile. Diversi sono i settori convolti quali l’architettura, la città e i beni culturali. I processi in atto proposti nel testo pongono particolare attenzione all’ innovazione tecnologica, all’inclusione e alla sostenibilità e sull’operato di Figure differenti che operano nel campo della culturale museale, della progettazione architettonica e urbana, del design for all, e dell’apprendimento. Si rileva il grande peso che ha la creatività in relazione alle trasformazioni strumentali e tecnologiche per il raggiungimento di soluzioni proposte dalla filiera del trasferimento tecnologico. I saggi che compongono il volume sono parte degli esiti del Convegno Ambienti flessibili. Creatività, inclusione, ecologia, reale e virtuale organizzato da Barbara De Angelis del Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università degli Studi Roma Tre e Laura Farroni del Dipartimento di Architettura dello stesso Ateneo.

La composizione architettonica al primo anno. Esperienze di laboratorio tra luogo e memoria.
[Italiano]: Il volume è l’esito di alcune riflessioni dei professori titolari delle cattedre dei corsi di Laboratorio di composizione architettonica e urbana, prof. R. Capozzi, prof.ssa P. Scala, prof.ssa V. Pezza, Prof. G. Szaniszlò, e delle relative esperienze didattiche svolte nei corsi di laboratorio al primo anno del CdL ARC5UE, a.a. 2020/2021, presso il Dip. di Architettura dell’Università degli studi di Napoli Federico II; ed infine restituisce le lectiones di docenti esterni al DiARC invitati al ciclo di seminari svolto a corsi congiunti. Il volume si suddivide in tre parti: Parte I - Il progetto didattico tra teoria e laboratori, Parte II - Le esperienze di laboratorio, Parte...
