Nuove strategie d'intervento sul patrimonio costruito. La prefabbricazione leggera nella valorizzazione del tessuto edilizio esistente/ New intervention strategies on built heritage. The light prefabrication for the enhancement of the existing building fabric
No full textToday it's possible to highlight some international studies, plans and cultural projects that have worked on the issue of density, the consumption of soil, the exploitation of existing assets as an opportunity for sustainable development of the city, promoting initiatives that would promote the recovery or the conversion of existing buildings through the use of infill spaces, like as roofing and building envelope, with elevations operations, additions and supplements. This phenomenon has led to a rethinking of development strategies of the urban fabric, on the one hand as a possible growth model to consumption of ground zero, and second to regulate informal practices in urban and architectural terms. The paper proposes, through a critical analysis of some representative case studies, new intervention strategies for the enhancement of existing buildings, with the intention to understand the values of their sustainability. In Europe this define an interpretative framework of possible solutions for intervention on existing built environment. Focusing on the architectural scale, it shows the range of solutions pursued by the technological point of view, related to the physical condition of the building and the context of action. If from the composition approach prevail different attitudes, from technological it is prevalent the use of industrialized light systems , meeting the need of weight reduction and times shipyard. In particular, the prefabricated systems are characterized as the solution most frequently used in different contexts, also between their very distant. These systems applied according to several degrees of prefabrication, adapt to the different starting conditions of the building, the site and the objectives of development inherent in the project. They allow a strict control of the process, from the planning stage to construction, which results in a careful control of costs and a reduction of the yard times to simple assembly phase. These conditions, combined with the environmental performance of wood, can reach high levels of environmental and economic sustainability, showing the effectiveness of these technologies in renewal strategies on the existing urban fabri

Convertible city: light wood prefab systems in the extension of built environment
No full textThe research work proposes a reflection about transforming existing city. The paper focus about transformation projects which considering the addition of part and volumes an opportunity to redefine performance and architectural appeal of existent building and renovate the whole city functioning. The research refers to urban living context and housing quality, by using timber technology as method to read the change towards new "smart" urban environment. This topic becomes the driving force at the center of development actions in many European medium cities, promoting a new research approach against soil consumption. Thus represent an opportunity to experiment new forms of living and search further directions for the building sector. Wood can be seen as the most suitable material for these interventions, it offers the opportunity to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions during the entire construction process and the building life cycl
Il dibattito tecnica-forma nei percorsi di innovazione tecnologica. Due esperienze a confronto: Hardwood X-Lam e Water in Glass/ The debate technic-architectural form in the technological innovation field. Two research experiences compared: Hardwood X-Lam and Water in Glass
No full textThe contribution proposes a reflection on the role of technology in architectural research, analysing two different paths of innovation in the construction industry with the support of small and medium enterprises (PMI) by proposing new components for a more responsible way of construction.
The relationship between technology and architecture design, declined through a strong early integration, is currently based on the concept of the "urgency of sustainability" which led to study, innovate and test new solutions in the design process. Innovation, understood as a "major factor that can significantly affect the quality in the design and construction of artefacts' (Losasso 2010), can then configure itself as a lever for change, understanding the direct relationship between the paradigm of sustainable development and quality in building practice. The technological innovation that embraces its role as a synthesis of the design field, the research and industrial practice, can come from ideas that are reflected in the experimentation with the support of the company, or industry, in a oriented preliminary research.
The project X-Lam Piemonte (Callegari et al. 2010) is an experimental research that transfers a specific innovation in a local reality, optimising it on existing resources. The project "Water in glass" (Ariolfo 2009), start from the spin-off from a Spanish university, and is adapted to italian manufacture, focusing on the integration of the element within the entire architectural process (from concept to realisation ). Both actions are developed, following the directions of research DAPe (PhD in Architecture and Building Design) in Turin, guiding the study of technologies to the impact on architectural design.
The aim of the two experiences is to achieve a quality result, through the interaction of different disciplines and collaborations, with direct involvement of the researcher in the project, explaining how the process of innovation can take place in new contexts.
Il contributo propone una riflessione sul ruolo della tecnologia nella ricerca sul progetto architettonico, analizzando due differenti percorsi di innovazione nel settore edile con il contributo delle piccole medie imprese (PMI) nella direzione di proporre nuovi componenti per una costruzione più responsabile.
La relazione tra tecnologia e progetto declinata nel disegno di architettura attraverso una forte integrazione fin dalle prime fasi, è attualmente basata sul concetto della “urgenza di sostenibilità” che spinge a studiare, innovare e sperimentare nuove soluzioni all’interno del processo progettuale. L'innovazione, intesa come «quel fattore rilevante in grado di incidere significativamente sulla qualità nella concezione e nella realizzazione dei manufatti» (Losasso 2010), può configurarsi quindi come leva per il cambiamento, interpretando quella relazione diretta tra il paradigma dello sviluppo sostenibile e la qualità nella pratica del costruire. L'innovazione tecnologica che si configura sempre più come sintesi tra campo del progetto, mondo della ricerca, e strutture industriali, potrà scaturire da idee che si concretizzano nella sperimentazione con il supporto dell'impresa, o dall'industria, in un percorso orientato da ricerche di base preliminari.
Il progetto X-Lam Piemonte (Callegari et al. 2010) è un percorso sperimentale di ricerca che trasferisce un innovazione di settore in una realtà di riferimento, ottimizzandola sulle risorse esistenti. Il progetto “Water in glass” (Ariolfo 2009), parte da uno spin-off universitario spagnolo, e viene reinterpetato adattandolo al settore produttivo italiano; concentrandosi sull’integrazione dell’elemento all’interno dell’intero processo architettonico (dal concept alla realizzazione). Entrambe le azioni si sviluppano secondo le linee di ricerca del DAPe (Dottorato in Architettura e Progettazione edilizia) di Torino orientando lo studio delle tecnologie alle ricadute sul progetto di architettura.
Le due esperienze si pongono l'obiettivo di raggiungere un risultato qualitativo , attraverso l’interazione di diverse discipline e collaborazioni, con un coinvolgimento diretto del ricercatore all’interno del progetto; spiegando come il processo d'innovazione possa avvenire in nuovi contesti
Mind the gap :smart infill designing
No full textNew planning policies are requested to exploit existing housing stock. There are initiatives aiming at using more efficiently present urban spaces and buildings. It might be easy to focus on abandoned spacesbut this paper rather focus on transformation coming openly form public and private spontaneous ideas (the unplanned). Many studies have worked on the issue of density, the consumption of soil, the exploitation of existing assets as an opportunity for sustainable development of the city, promoting initiatives that would preserve and convert existing buildings through the use of infill spaces. Some examples could be the renovation roofing and building envelope, with rooftops, additions and retrofit. This phenomenon has led to new forms of development strategies of the urban fabric which it might be called" acupuncture strategy", focusing on the gap rather than the voids. It is proposed a reflection about transforming existing cities according to this new planning and design strateg
Naturwall©-timber multifunctional system in refurbishment sustainable process
No full textNaturwall© is an Italian project, promoted by Giovanni Goria Foundation and Politecnico of Turin (DAD) with a local PMI support. It consists in an innovative energy saving of existent buildings by using wood multifunctional components. The project meant to introduce an industrialized design method in the renovation of city existent building environment, it highlights the opportunity gave by "off site" production, without neglecting the aesthetical values and the possibility to change the architectural image. The goal of the project is the refurbishment of the existing building stock built in Italy before energy crisis. This stock is not equipped with recent energy requirements. Naturwall differs from simple energy saving approach with the disposal of an appropriate insulation layer, it replaces the older envelope with a responsive device towards environmental context. The project aims to create a representative model of solution that will be promoted in Italy
L’«Atlante delle professionalità» - Metodologia della ricerca
No full textL’«Atlante delle professionalità» costituisce l’esito di un’attività di ricerca promossa dalla Provincia di Torino in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Architettura e Design del Politecnico di Torino nell’ambito del progetto Boislab.
Il lavoro di ricerca inquadra per la prima volta le duecento e cinquantotto aziende della filiera legno edilizia della provincia di Torino con la finalità di accompagnare la crescente diffusione del legno in edilizia attraverso la valorizzazione delle competenze presenti su territorio.
La progettazione di strutture con componenti edilizi in legno non può infatti prescindere dalla promozione di una consapevolezza sul ruolo delle filiere produttive in un quadro di responsabilità “sociale”.
