Development of innovative models for the process of design, construction and management of sports and collective infrastructure; development of feasibility studies and strategic plans, development of meta-project intervention strategies for the industries and sports architecture.
Definition of qualitative and quantitative analysis and evaluation tools dedicated to sports and collective architecture and infrastructure as part of urban and social regeneration projects and processes, and he definition of guidelines for the design and/or enhancement of facilities on the basis of the results of the analysis carried out.
Roadmaps and supporting templates for stakeholders involved in evaluation/decision-making processes linked to the design or regeneration of sports and collective infrastructure and architecture (public administrations, property managers, federations, owners, associations, third sector volunteers, users).
Mapping, evaluation and analysis of the existing national and international assets.
Definition of innovative structures as part of the technical and typological definitions that characterise the specific form of (national and international) students living away from home and the promotion of innovative models of management, including through the implementation of IoT systems.
Analysis and testing of the feasibility of innovative spatial and functional layouts as part of new constructions and the recovery of existing constructions to be utilised for student accommodation.
Strategies and projects for health in the urban area, Walkability Index, Cycling Index.
Technical feasibility studies for health facilities and architecture, critical analysis of social and health demand framework, evaluation of quality and sustainability from a social, environmental and organisational point of view, development of innovative models (typological, architectural, spatial, functional, management, technological).
Evaluation and optimisation of healthcare facilities from the perspective of the influence on the wellbeing of the patient and other users in terms of user-friendliness, indoor air quality, soft-qualities, medical furniture, wayfinding and signage, healing gardens, inclusivity and the universal design strategy.
Monitoring and mapping of ambient temperature and relative humidity data, in enclosed spaces or otherwise, in order to identify any areas characterised by hygrometric anomalies and to determine the best microclimatic conditions for the preservation of historic buildings and cultural assets.
An investigation used to determine the nature of the materials used and their condition; for example, the identification of the type of mortar used for the plasterwork and to reveal the presence of soluble salt crystals on the surface.
Analysis of a building (whether historic or modern) in order to identify the construction techniques and/or the state of preservation/degradation of the materials through the use and integration of non-destructive techniques such as: infrared thermography, to survey the superficial temperature values and highlight any issues (e.g., thermal dissipation, humidity in the masonry, irregularity of the materials, superficial damage); endoscopy and videoscopy, to inspect parts that are not visible by means of small openings, whether existing or made during the investigation; UV photography, to identify surface organic material and its distribution through illumination with UW lamps, which is of particular importance in the case of decorated surfaces; cover meters, to identify the presence, direction and diameter of metal elements within the structure.
Hygroscopic analysis and characterisation of materials, with evaporation, water vapour absorption and water absorption testing, carried out primarily on stone materials (whether natural or artificial), and gravimetric testing, aimed at measuring the water content in samples extracted from masonry which are weighed and dried using a high precision thermobalance (accuracy: 0.001g).
