RECUPERO E CONSERVAZIONE DEGLI EDIFICI

The course aims to provide knowledge about problems, methodology and operational tools to deal with the rehabilitation design of existing buildings stock and assess its environmental sustainability. The student will acquire a critical awareness and autonomy of judgement to identify design strategies and make the choice of technological solutions that are compatible with the existing buildings, environmentally friendly and appropriate according to the values of the built heritage.

The topics of the programm of theoretical lessons will be presented through classroom lectures. During the course the students will also develop a rehabilitation design, with periodic reviews by the teacher.

1. Framing of the topic.

2. Complexity and systemic approach. Built Environment as system. Requirement-performance approach for rehabilitation design of existing buildings.

3. Evolution of construction systems in the twentieth century.

4. Categories of intervention: Maintenance, Requalification, Reuse.

5. Methodology for rehabilitation design of built heritage: Analyses of existing buildings and its context. Non-destructive investigations. Technical and performance diagnosis. Design strategies.

6. Environmental sustainability of design: Sustainability paradigm, role and responsibility of the construction sector. Recovery and environmental sustainability. Life Cycle approach (LCA method, Environmental Product Declarations). Tools for assessment of design environmental sustainability (LEED Protocol and ITACA Protocol). Reuse, Recycle. Minimum Environmental Criteria in Public Procurement.
