In questa direzione, un apporto rilevante può prospettarsi dal contributo dell'area della progettazione tecnologica a partire dalla definizione di resilienza di un sistema complesso socio-ecologico, intesa come «capacità dinamica di adattamento e riorganizzazione a seguito di un cambiamento» e attraverso l'interpretazione delle attitudini di reattività, adattabilità e trasformabilità come requisiti necessari per il raggiungimento della qualità integrata dei sistemi insediativi.

It is important to start thinking about the roles and duties of public spaces and how we can change them for the next phase of the pandemic and a more sustainable future. The recommendations for a healthy safe, and sustainable public space - analyzed in the paper - are framed into the following key points: Mitigate present and future pandemics;Promoting public health and well-being. These recommendations are applied to the design experimentation in a small city in Italy, that explores the relationships between psycho-physical well-being and public space in the design of an urban park. The recommendations for a healthy, safe and sustainable public space may provide a useful basis for Designers, Policy Makers, Public Health experts and Local Health Agencies, in promoting actions and policies aimed to transform public space in healthier and salutogenic spaces. ©...

An initial examination of Italian and international case studies helped to identify possible guidelines for the optimization of urban renewal activities. The guidelines were tested by applying them to a case study: a 1950s-era neighborhood in the city of Pisa. The study undertaken highlights the need to consistently integrate all of the activities that affect the building structures - consolidations and static adjustments, improvement of energy efficiency, functional and spatial adaptation - and that work towards strengthening social integration by taking into account the specific needs of the individual. The work is implemented on individual buildings and urban areas, with the aim of improving the...

Una ricerca condotta sull’ambito del fiume Pescara ha colto questa sfida, reinterpretando le criticità ambientali delle aree di studio come occasioni per gestire un più ampio “progetto dell’acqua” con cui opporre alle vulnerabilità del territorio nuove capacità di resilienza e di reazione agli eventi naturali avversi, attuando scenari di convivenza proattiva tra città, utenti, istituzioni e risorse naturali.

technology with low thickness stone elements. The old conception of the “anchorage component” is exceeded and approach us a new production of systems and accessories for the connection of stone elements with a high degree of performances.
In the field of the building façades cladding, using low thickness stone slabs, it is being developed the art of connections. This paper summarizes a research experience in which we focused a methodological model for the technological design of the façades cladding, using low thickness stone elements.

Globalisation and the development of "information society" and the consequent precariousness and mobility that characterize our time, affecting the "time of use" of the house and it becomes a temporary home, "a machine for living" that embodies all the characteristics of contemporary living. At the same time, the concept of sustainable development focuses on the need to curb the consumption of natural resources and requires a reflection on the "life time" of the house, on the global costs and on Life Cycle Design of buildings. Time becomes a factor extremely important in the contemporary construction of the habitat, because it interferes indirectly with the performance level of the building, on its usability, and with its being sustainable, as a result as a building is able to adapt to the needs of users moving inside so its life will be sustainable. Durability, adaptability, flexibility and reversibility, become the keywords of a model of living space which meets the current needs derived from these social changes, such as the sudden change of households, the need to overcome the obstacle of inaccessible cost, the change of the needs, where the explicit physiological needs (which have guided the current rigid model of "functional organization" of the house) are added the psychological ones are not always so explicit. These needs can be pursued by means a new conception of the house not as a stationary object in space but as a matter-flow moving in the time, of which, as a user does not perceive that a moment. Its duration, so as the capacity to respond to the function for which it was created, depends within the Life Cycle Design by its ability to adapt to different functional and socialy requirements of the different users over time. In this new model, the requirement for flexibility in its various exceptions (flexibility of use and technological flexibility) and in relations with the criteria of modularity, reversibility, durability and adaptability, is essential to respond through the design to change the "time of use" and the "time of life" of the house.

Our city and its inhabitants are changing, more transient residents, and abrupt encounters of cultures. If the rationalist manuales contained the stylized dark outlines of a "standard humanity" consisten with the resources of the new clean and sunlit accomodation, designs for a contemporary dwelling ought perhaps to contain the icons of the diverse population, a list of needs that must satisfy now has to be updated in the light of the new desires and lifestyles of variegated population of the "city users". Simultaneously, the economic and energy crisis, the current period of uncertainty and looming environmental issue, requiring the search for economically acceptable solutions, in a logic low cost and reconsideration of the budget of the different phases of construction. To satisfy customers desires with a maintained efficiency of the production process is a challenge for many house construction companies. In this paper we identify two possible topics, bound to eatch, the research: activation of processes of customization housing and flexible design of the spaces, and the willingness of all stakeholders to activate virtuous cooperation in the organization of local supply chain. In other words, a culture of design and construction is growing up around a strong point, recently described in sociological and anthropological research as "collective intelligence".

Since 2005 the University of Chieti-Pescara evaluated occupational stress (through the Karasek's JCQ) as well as perception of occupational risk of the building workers. Moreover, procedures (including planning) in the field of building technology were analyzed. The perception of job strain of the workers in building activities were high because of elevated job demand and low decision latitude. The risk perception was higher regarding dangers producing immediate injury. There was no direct relationship between considering the job dangerous and having attended training courses, while the relationship between risk perception and past injury events was marked. At present, we are also evaluating, by instrumental methods, the biomechanical overload of workers, due to the main repetitive and forceful manual activities.

A group of 273 workers were asked to fill in a questionnaire which included, apart from general information, questions relative to six different types of risks normally found in the field of agriculture. The types of risks considered were: falling from a height, manually moving loads, overturning/accident whilst driving an agricultural tractor, noise and vibration, use of pesticides, the risk of being cut/injured. The workers were requested to assess, on a scale of 1 to 3, both the probability of an accident taking place and the consequent damage which could result from each of the risks considered. The assessment of the risks provided by the workers was related to the objective assessment of the risks carried out by the study group, also on the basis of objective data provided by INAIL (Italian insurance company) indexes, to highlight the eventual under/ove...

Initially employed by the material sciences and successively applied to ecological and cognitive ... more Initially employed by the material sciences and successively applied to ecological and cognitive disciplines, the notion of resilience was also defined by debate on complex systems of settlement.
This introduced the first discussions of urban resilience, landscape resilience and even the resilience of buildings.
The definitions attributed to the term as resilience of complex socio-ecological systems also suggest a shift in content and significance linked principally to the development of projects that take into account the conservation and regeneration of landscape values. In the short to medium-term, the acceptance and specific socio-ecological definition of the concept of resilience in the field of landscape design will undoubtedly comport a re-orientation, if not a true evolution in relations between inhabited space and building technologies, beginning precisely with new methodologies and the systemic theoretical-applied foundations of this new paradigm. The design of the landscape, with its diverse territorial environments and its technical components, in relation to the paradigm of resilience, must be reinterpreted increasingly more as a process of technological-
environmental transformation of inhabited space in its entirety and its consistency as a complex system of
interaction between man, nature, artefacts and society.
