    Georg W. Reinberg liev and works in Vienna. He has done much to spur Austrian archltecture in the direction of sustainable building and participation. Leitmotivs of all his professional projects- in the main, residential building - are environmental concern and direct stakeholder participation. A formal technical rationalism combines with detailed analysis of the specific local conditions in order to determine the optimal volume-surface area mix for the building. Careful orientation to the sun allows the creation of different thermal zones with heat-absorbing blocks like green-houses and winter gardens. The resultant spatial use and environmental quality help raise awareness of the inextricable links between man and his environment

    Abitare il pubblico : un atlante dell'edilizia residenziale pubblica a Bari : il quartiere Japigia : sperimentazione e necessità abitativa

    Il quartiere di Japigia a Bari ha una storia affascinante che merita un'approfondita analisi. Dal punto di vista storico. Il quartiere nato negli anni ‘30, come nuova zona residenziale, successivamente ha subito una significativa espansione urbana grazie alla costruzione di alloggi popolari. Oggi, Japigia, si caratterizza per una notevole diversità sociale ed economica, con una popolazione che spazia dalla classe media alle fasce più deboli. Negli ultimi anni sono stati compiuti progressi significativi nella riqualificazione degli alloggi esistenti e nella costruzione di nuove abitazioni a basso costo ma sono ancora presenti importanti sfide abitative da affrontare. Il libro analizza separatamente cinque settori di edilizia popolare del quartiere, di esclusiva proprietà pubblica, seguendone la successione realizzativa. Ognuna di queste aree presenta, al suo interno, tecniche costruttive, soluzioni architettoniche e tipologiche assolutamente coerenti. Lo studio parte, quindi, dalla necessità impellente di catalogare e presentare in modo sistematico la totalità degli interventi sviluppatisi nel corso del tempo nel quartiere Japigia per fornire a studiosi, ricercatori, progettisti una bussola capace prefigurare le ragioni di queste forme abitative e le loro numerose potenzialità adattative. Il tutto in ragione di un nuovo possibile orientamento delle future scelte di recupero e trasformazione di tale patrimonio in chiave urbana e architettonica. (Fonte: editore

    The paper describes the international patent (PCT / IB2013 / 000830) of the Polytechnic of Bari on building construction system "Nexus: Earthquake-proof Self-supporting "dry" construction system composed by environmentally sustainable, stratified and self-clinching blocks". The patent is based on the use of specific materials (cement lightened stones reassembled, plastic materials, ...) to create poly-composed "blocks" for building industry, having high structural, sound-absorbing and insulating resistance. The blocks, made up of layers of different materials, suitably assembled by mechanical fastening and without chemical adhesives, are designed so to allow, at the end of the block life cycle, the separation and reuse of raw materials used for the composition of individual layers. The building system obtained is a completely assembled "dry" and utilizes internal metal couplings to the blocks to achieve a structural cage able to give the building a high seismic resistance

    Housing Overcrowding: Relationships and Challenges in the Contemporary Era

    The home is a fundamental part of life, serving as a refuge and consuming significant economic and material resources. However, housing issues have become complex, gaining social and regulatory interest. Factors like housing size, crowding index, social housing, and housing codes significantly impact living quality and well-being. This research investigates domestic space and its relationship with users in new housing developments. It examines how standards influence living space design to meet needs for adequate space and social sustainability through social housing policies. The study analyses the crowding index as a key quality parameter, proposing scenarios for evolving home concepts to meet contemporary needs. The analysis considers demographic changes, household structure shifts, and the impact of working conditions on housing sustainability and social cohesion. It addresses economic challenges in securing adequate housing and managing family health and education, emphasising the need for inclusive housing policies. The paper views housing as crucial for dignity and sustainability, advocating for a holistic approach that sees housing as an integrated ecosystem supporting social and individual dynamics. It highlights how social housing models can combat overcrowding, improve life quality, and promote social inclusion
