The volume presents the research experience of young researchers and PhD candidates, dealing with the Italian scientific area 08-C1 (Design and Technology of Architecture), with a discussion about scientific issues and methodologies applied. The aim is to express the methodological and investigation features of the issues faced by the researchers, along with the effectiveness of their researches design, giving the reader an immediate overview of the 08-C1 doctoral experience. Beside young researchers statements as witnesses of this research path, the volume collects professors critical contribution, to enrich the comprehensive picture of the progression and methodologies of the doctoral researches presented.
This book explores the bioclimatic approach to building design. Constant innovations in the field are evident, including the need to face climate changes and increase the local resilience at different scales (regional, urban, architectural). Differently from other contributions, this book provides a definition of the bioclimatic design approach following a technological and performance-driven vision. It includes one of the largest collection of research voices on the topic, becoming also a critical reference work for bioclimatic theory. It is intended for architects, engineers, researchers, and technicians who have professional and research interests in bioclimatic and in sustainable and technological design issues.
Edoardo Benvenuto was born in Genoa on December 11, 1940. From 1965 to 1974 Edoardo Benvenuto worked at the Istituto Ligure Ricerche Economiche e Sociali (ILRES) as a researcher in Urban Studies, and also had an illustrious academic career in the Faculty of Engineering at Genoa University. In 1975 he was called to teach at the new Faculty of Architecture in Genoa; he became ist Dean in 1979 and remained in this post until 1997. While carrying out his institutional work, Benvenuto also maintained his interests in other studies concerning scientific, philosophic and theological thought. In recognition of his great devotion to work both as a teacher and researcher, in 1996 he was elected member...
La riqualificazione dell'ambiente costruito, dalla scala territoriale a quella edilizia, è diventata, negli ultimi anni, il tema dominante del dibattito teorico e della prassi operativa. L'occasione è preziosa, perché i punti critici richiedono, in prima istanza, interventi che possono incidere notevolmente sulle condizioni ambientali. Molti, infatti, sono gli ambiti interessati da una progettazione "ambientalmente consapevole": il rapporto tra ambiente e ciclo di vita di ciò che si produce e consuma, l'impiego di risorse energetiche rinnovabili, l'uso di materiali e tecnologie in accordo con il luogo e il clima. Nonostante ciò si riscontra ancora, almeno in ambito nazionale, una relati...
