Geographic Information Systems (Geodatabases/GIS/WEBGIS)

Geographic Information Systems (Geodatabases/GIS/WEBGIS) and land information systems for the management, online or otherwise, of georeferenced data, Google Earth and the development of service applications. Creation of geodatabases of map, land and satellite data. Creation and management of Open Source Geoportals and the development of applications based on geospatial services with the use of Virtual Hub Discovery and Access in order to access BIG Data, data from satellites and various maps published in the form of OpenData, INSPIRE and COPERNICUS compliant and EU platforms. Production of thematic and metric maps from satellite or aerial images. Numerical maps, thematic map, risk maps, georeferencing of historical and current maps, navigation techniques and correlation of panoramic historical maps.

Advanced manufacturing and prototyping for architecture

The use of computer numerical control machines, additive and subtractive machines to build architectural designs at all scales. Assistance with CAD-CAM design processes.

Creation of prototypes and demonstrators for dry assembly structures, design items and building components with different technical materials for architecture.

Computational design systems

Assistance and development of applications for the computational design and simulation of the behaviour of buildings, structures and construction systems.

Integration of photovoltaic cells in flexible materials

The study and validation of the integration of photovoltaic cells in flexible materials such as membranes and fluoropolymers.

Performance simulation and prototyping of lightweight structures

Simulation of the mechanical, thermal, optical and luminous, acoustic and safety performance of architectural components and lightweight structures.

Creation of prototypes and demonstrators for lightweight structures, design items and construction components made from textiles and/or polymers such as, for example, tensile structures, tent-like structures, pressure-supported structures, emergency tents, form-active structures, ETFE cushions, lights and other design items made from textiles and polymers, suspended ceilings, dividers, false walls and soft furnishings.

Mechanical characterisation and measurement of the optical properties of…

Uniaxial and biaxial mechanical characterisation of woven and non-woven materials and fluoropolymer films. The measurement of UV-VIS-NIR spectral optical properties (specular and diffuse hemispherical reflectance, bidirectional reflectance and transmittance) and IR spectral properties (diffuse hemispherical reflectance and transmittance, specular reflectance of glass and normal emissivity)

Development of innovative technology and materials for architecture

Design, development and production of construction solutions such as envelopes, structures and components with innovative characteristics from a structural, environmental or technological point of view.

The study of innovative materials for architecture and construction through analytical and experimental research (geopolymers, composites, shape-changing materials, organic and inorganic materials, and others).

Interferometry/radar intensity

Capture of radar images, pre- and post- processing, interferometry and calculations.

Topographical and image monitoring of land

Topographical/celerimetric/GPS surveys carried out to: monitor the land and ground deformations; monitor large civil structures and cultural assets; to monitor the natural environment, man-made environment and natural resources. Panoramic images of waterfronts, image capture from PhotoGPS with the use of calibrated cameras (full format or others) and 3D texturing of panoramic images on topographical databases integrated with laser scanners in order to generate a range of images of the fronts in support of the risk maps, VIA and maps of intervisibility. Development of Geopanapp (applications for I-devices) to support projects based on volunteered information and living lab communities.

Remote sensing (analysis of satellite and aerial images)

Analysis of multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal and radar (RGB, NIR Near Infrared, IR Infrared, TIR) satellite or aerial images. Remote study of land changes. Assimilation of remote and multi-source data. Modelling of bio- and geo-physical parameters collected remotely.
