Adaptive Environmental Design in Mediterranean Urban Contexts: Strategies for Well-Being and Sustainability

Adaptive Environmental Design in Mediterranean Urban Contexts: Strategies for Well-Being and Sustainability

This research stay seeks to deepen and expand an interdisciplinary investigation into adaptive environmental design in Mediterranean urban contexts, addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change, increasing urban density, and the demand for resilient, human-centred built environments. The project will explore how three interrelated parameters (variability, dynamism, and controllability) can be integrated into analytical tools, design guidelines, and teaching resources to enhance comfort, well-being, and sustainability at both building and urban scales.

Energy and Ecology Efficiency as a Chance for Cultural Heritage

The energy and ecology efficiency issues today constitute the opportunities to create a rich economy of cultural heritage that could be based on urban regeneration, protection and recovery. There is a great need to promote new businesses capable of achieving urban resilience but also knowledge of the ancient, reinvigorating investment in cultural heritage, according to long-term planning.
