TheapplicationofNatureInspiredDesignStrategies,suchasBiomimicry, which considers natural systems as a paradigm for sustainability, is generating exciting results in recent years, and it offers designers alternative perspectives for the generation of hybrid artefacts. Therefore, this contribution aims to investigate how Design plays a central role in the diffusion of alternative and sustainable produc- tion models. In particular, focusing on the latest experiments related to the produc- tion p...
Proximity is an apparently undiscussable guiding concept for urban and mobility planning, addressing several urban planning experiences in the past. A new reformulation of the model under the concept of a 15-minute city is a popular reference for cities worldwide, thanks to the need for proximity, experienced during the pandemic and the related restrictive measures for individual mobility. Widely praised such a model, as a reference to adapt cities and metropolitan areas, mitigate their envir...
Regarding environmental sustainability and market pricing, the energy class is an increasingly more decisive characteristic in the real estate sector. For this reason, a great deal of attention is now devoted to exploring new technologies, energy consumption forecasting tools, intelligent platforms, site management devices, optimised procedures, software, and guidelines. New investments and smart possibilities are currently the object of different research in energy efficiency in building sto...
Multi-parametric valuation techniques, in real estate valuation, are particularly useful to understand and define all the factors that contribute to the determination of market prices. Even though a plethora of building features influence the way prices are formed, location is certainly among the most influential. As such, the goal of this research is the analysis of position and neighbourhood in the process of market value estimation for a building. Particular attention is given to the compa...
Along the roadmap to a Sustainable Real Estate-Scape, energy retrofit campaigns on wide city compartments represent a pivotal task, where the importance of the collaboration between the public and private sectors is crucial. Energy retrofit programs on building assets are subject to multiple uncertainty factors (e.g., climate, energy-economy forecasts, etc.) that act as a primary barrier to investment in this field. This paper aims to discuss risk management techniques to understand better ho...
