Aspetti tecnologici ambientali e costruzione dello spazio pubblico. futuro delle città, ICT e augmented reality | Environmental technological aspects and public space. future of cities, ICT and Augmented reality
No full textNowadays Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have had unprecedented development and their growth rate continues to increase.
People driven by the invasive power of the internet, smartphone apps and digital social networking, according to a widespread opinion, are increasingly looking to be connected in virtual spaces rather than meeting in physical public spaces. This consideration seems to contradict the approach of giving importance to public space as a place for socialization and interaction but, as the paper will show, it is precisely technological evolution and Augmented Reality (AR) that will allow public spaces to regain their status of attractive places for people, to stimulate meetings in real life by creating lively and interesting urban centers. The aim of this study is to identify the design principles that can be adopted in the design of public spaces to meet the needs of users of the digital age by updating the concepts of social life in compliance with the rules for creating a place
GREEN CITIES BETWEEN ADAPTIVE DESIGN AND CIRCULARITY OF RESOURCES
Full text linkIl report prende in esame un intervento di rigenerazione urbana di un quartiere periferico di Roma per il quale l’approccio adottato è quello del green city approach, una piattaforma di quadro strategico d'intervento che mette a sistema l’elevata qualità ambientale, l’efficienza e la circolarità delle risorse, la mitigazione delle cause dei cambiamenti climatici in un quadro di benessere basato sull’inclusione sociale e sullo sviluppo di lunga durata della città. Il quartiere di Torrevecchia si trova "confinato" fra un’area urbana, quella di Primavalle, non esente da problematicità di vario tipo, e quella agreste della Valle dei Fontanili, a forte vocazione naturalistica ma degradata, esterna all’area di studio. Il quartiere come molte aree periferiche è in cerca di una definizione per sfuggire all’emarginazione e al sottosviluppo. Il modulo progettuale dal punto di vista metodologico ha una valenza generalizzabile e una implementazione in progress.This report examines an urban regeneration in a peripheral neighbourhood of Rome for which the green city approach was chosen: A strategic framework platform for intervention that systematizes high environmental quality, efficiency, and circularity of resources, climate change mitigation in a well-being based framework upon on social inclusion city’s long[1]term development. The Torrevecchia neighbourhood is “confined” between an urban area, Primavalle, which is not free from various problems, and the rural one of Valle dei Fontanili, with a strong presence of albeit decayed nature lying outside the study area. The neighbourhood, like many peripheral areas, is looking for a definition to escape marginalization and underdevelopment. From the methodological perspective, the project module has a generalizable value and an implementation in progress
Adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici nelle green city: sperimentazioni progettuali in quattro quartieri IACP di Roma
No full textThis chapter passes from theoretical analysis to the implementation of a research effort on urban regeneration in accordance with the Climate Adaptive Design (CAD) model in an area in the northwest quadrant of the Roman periphery. Providing a general overview of the area and analyzing its physical, morphological, and socioeconomic aspects, the research is aimed at strengthening the use of natural bioclimatic factors with a view to environmental comfort and sustainability and to reinforcing the capacities of resilience and adaptation to the eff ects of climate change – while reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions. The chapter goes on to describe the applied methodology, the research steps, and the examined parameters that led to redefi ning the intervention strategies for repurposing individual areas and public spaces, and for requalifying green spaces and dwellings. The impacts of the design choices in terms of performance are analyzed in the situation before and after the intervention, providing the exact measure of the planned restoration. The experimentation, though, is not an end unto itself, because it has the dynamic dimension of a work in progress, open to contributions from other scholars
“Green City Approach e new Welfare per le città italiane: dalle Linee Giuda alle strategie d’intervento”
No full textMost advanced research recommends Green City Approach for its redevelopment through integrated and multi-sectoral urban regeneration interventions as it constitutes a platform that puts to system the high environmental quality, efficiency and circularity of resources, mitigation and adaptation of climate change in a framework of Welfare based on social inclusion and on listing city development. The paper examines Italian experience and traces the contribution of the Green City Network in the context of the European cities best practices

PROGETTAZIONE BIOCLIMATICA E SISTEMI TECNOLOGICI PASSIVI / BIOCLIMATIC DESIGN AND PASSIVE SYSTEMS
No full textL’architettura bioclimatica valorizza le condizioni ambientali e l’impiego di sistemi tecnologici passivi volti all’interazione con i fattori microclimatici, con il duplice obiettivo del miglioramento del comfort ambientale e dell’ottimizzazione dei comportamenti energetici, legati in particolare agli aspetti termici, luminosi e fluidodinamici dell’edificio.
Questo settore di ricerca impone, quindi, la selezione di strategie mirate a utilizzare le risorse microclimatiche e ambientali del sito al fine di ridurre i
consumi energetici e produrre energia rinnovabile. L’edificio è configurato per riscaldarsi ed essere illuminato con il sole, raffrescarsi con il vento e, attraverso l’interazione con altre forze naturali, regolare le condizioni igrometriche e il comfort indoor senza ausilio di “macchine”. In tal modo l’incrementa la relazione con le risorse climatiche, si limita lo stress ambientale e la dipendenza dalle risorse fossili, la cui utilizzazione produce un grande impatto sui cambiamenti climatici. In definitiva nell’architettura Nearly zero energy l’edificio produce in modo “naturale passivo” quasi tutta l’energia che consuma.
I sistemi tecnologici passivi (serre, giardini d’inverno, camini di ventilazione ecc.), che hanno caratterizzato per secoli le tipologie edilizie di molte zone geografiche del pianeta, sono stati riscoperti come efficaci regolatori degli scambi termici tra interno ed esterno dell’edificio
Quadro delle minacce, vulnerabilità e rischi in regime dei cambiamenti climatici e scarsità di risorse
No full textThis chapter examines the framework of vulnerabilities faced by cities, and the risks connected to higher sea levels and increased coastal flooding and river overflow, along with the related capacity for draining land in the stricken areas and the high degree of impermeability of urban land, as well as difficulties in communication, transport, and isolation of enormous territories and of urban areas in particular – all coming on top of increasingly frequent and persistent episodes of drought, especially in interior areas. The framework is obtained through reference to events occurring during the most recent period, and to possible scenarios that, with average temperatures rising by 2°C (the limit set by the Paris Conference), might come to pass by 2100 due to the damage caused by coastal erosion as well as to dwellings – especially for the populations that are the most impoverished and in the weakest segments (children, the elderly, the disabled) –, to economic activities, and to infrastructure, with the resulting loss of human life
Green Economy, Urban Development, City Legacy: a possible future dialectic in Italy
No full textIf we think of the developed or developing territory of a large urbanised area in Italy, we can envisage development that is aimed at going beyond the “physical saturation” that is typical of the seamless metropolises our planet is full of. Development that aims at achieving an updated vision – a more responsible one as regards the quality of life in its three-fold meaning of environment, mobility and solidarity – where, first and foremost, the very perception of the city prevails, where perception of the key elements characterising balanced contribution to improving the quality of life is based on concepts such as reduction, separation, conservation and reuse. In contrast to the prevailing principles that are typical of the “non-responsible” metropolis, which are increase (of consumption, population, density...), saturation (of spaces, buildings, services...), profligacy (of energy, resources, the economy...) and wastage (of materials, refuse, primary resources...). We need an updated concept of sustainability – environmental, social and economic – which looks upon the issue of energy-environmental efficiency as one of the cornerstones on which to build the framework of the green economy vision and one of the momentous key issues to be tackled and resolved, including by adopting a totally new way of thinking, conceiving and perceiving the city which brings into play the opportunities offered by the concept of Green Cities as well as 'zero energy' and 'zero emissions'
Dai rischi degli impatti dei cambiamenti climatici ai potenziali di riduzione derivanti dall’aumento delle capacità di adattamento nelle green city
No full textAnalysis of the risks associated with extreme phenomena touches upon the flooding of coastal areas and river basins; the difficulties of water management and supply systems; drought, with consequences on crops and the ecosystem, also triggering the risk of forest fires, heat islands and heat waves that result in worsening air quality and increased formation of ozone; extreme wind due to cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons, especially when associated with storms; difficulties of energy supply; and housing issues. For each of these risks, issues connected with indicating specific recommendations are raised, with a view to increasing resilience and capacity for adaptation in a perspective of developing the green economy and the green city approach. The dynamic assessment of the risk level in the environmental impact is also made, starting from the current situation with a projection over the short (2030- 2040) and medium-long (2080-2100) term
