I casi di studio proposti, realizzati in un dialogo attento con le culture locali e nel rispetto delle esigenze degli abitanti coinvolti, sono trattati analizzando aspetti architettonici e urbani sotto il pr…
Questo libro presenta problemi, idee e soluzioni riguardanti il progetto di edifici e insediamenti che rispettino l'ambiente e riducano il consumo di energia. I diversi aspetti sono trattati in modo sintetico dai docenti del Master in Architettura Ecosostenibile dell'Università di Bologna; un gruppo che lavora insieme ormai da molti anni e che si è affiatato condividendo l'interesse per quest…
Our relationship with our homes changed in 2020 when the pandemic known as Covid-19 led to enforced periods of self-isolation, called 'lockdown'. We got toknow our living spaces intimately and learned the greatest risk of infection was indoors through the breath we shared in poorly ventilated spaces, where microbial atmospheres could work their way inside, through every door, window and with ev…

Material Intelligence, simulations, sensors, actuators, as well as the bio-mimetic and digital manufacturing innovations provide revolutionary ideas on growth, adaptability, repair, sensitivity, replication and energy savings in architecture.Should we continue constructing rigid and fixed structures?Or can our habitats begin to think?
Digital tools and techniques, also because of the recent restrictions caused by the pandemic, have gained an almost necessary role in human activities. The construction sector, which is structurally slower in metabolising innovation, has a significant productivity gap when compared with manufacturing. This research therefore analyses the management methodologies used today for construction and …
