Abstract

The aim of the essay is to investigate the strategic role of physical prototyping in design, from concept to application, in a context characterised by the increasingly widespread presence of digital technologies and virtual prototypes. Starting from the identification of certain categories of prototypes (provocative, experimental, production), the article proposes a critical overview of the elements that characterise prototyping activities in the fields of education, research and technological transfer., TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment, TECHNE 18 (2019): Detailed Design

Abstract

In recent times Life Cycle Approach in building design and construction was set up by means technical standards (e.g. CEN/TC 350) as well as comprehensive impact assessment methods (e.g. LEED® and ITACA). Although standards and methods may be considered as accurate and exhaustive, product and system design needs a further organisation and systematisation of those environmental requirements tricky to take into account in preliminary design. It stands to reason such trickiness becomes more important in industrial research projects. Starting with the assumption that there is an urgent need to overcome the gap between design and production, the paper deals with the outcomes of a research project focused on detailed designing, manufacturing and monitoring of a Living Wall System (LWS) aimed at carrying into action a Life Cycle Approach., TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment, TECHNE 5 (2013): Environment emergency

9. Indagini sul campo per l'umanizzazione di strutture ospedaliere: strumenti e casi studio.

Author

Montacchini, Elena and Tedesco, Silvia

Abstract

The international scientific literature supports the great interest to the evidence-based design, focused on the relationship between the spatial arrangement of hospital environment and the potential support to the healing process. According to this approach, the paper deals with field surveys in hospital departments of oncology; the research is aimed at evaluating the environmental perceived quality by the end users. The analysis carried out through questionnaires and interviews was useful to develop tools for the assessment of the relationship among environmental factors and psycho-emotional reactions and to validate the patients and staff's needs.

10. L'approccio al ciclo di vita nella progettazione, produzione e monitoraggio di una facciata verde.

Author

Giordano, Roberto, Montacchini, Elena, and Tedesco, Silvia

Abstract

L'interesse per l'approccio al ciclo di vita di un edificio negli ultimi anni è evidenziato dall'implementazione di norme tecniche (CEN/TC 350) e dallo sviluppo di strumenti dedicati (ITACA, LEED®). Sebbene il quadro di riferimento possa essere giudicato completo e articolato, i requisiti attraverso i quali è possibile esprimere il livello di ecocompatibilità di un prodotto hanno delle difficoltà a essere contemplati in fase di progettazione e, laddove considerati, sono ricondotti a metodi eccessivamente semplificati di valutazione. Il progetto GRE_EN_S ha costituito un importante caso studio per dimostrare che è possibile, attraverso un processo di collaborazione interdisciplinare e una metodologia di ricerca appropriata, progettare e costruire prodotti a basso impatto ambientale.
