Well-being: safe, secure, inclusive and healthy Built Environment

  • Development of innovative models for healthcare, school, sports, tertiary buildings, and housing (construction and transformation) and for public spaces
  • Development of new building/real estate products in the co-living, co-working, and related services domain
  • Development and fine-tuning of user/community-centered design models
  • Multi-hazard and multi-risk analysis and assessment, from building scale to urban and territorial scale
  • Development and fine-tuning of multi-scalar design and technological strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change and pollution, and measures for adaptation and prevention
  • Policies and strategies to promote health in urban contexts and complex buildings, and development of multi-criteria tools for assessing health propensity
  • Development of models/frameworks for inclusivity/accessibility analysis of the built environment
  • Development of people-centered solutions for comfort and health, and modeling
  • Analysis of post-event damages across multiple sectors and scales (transport, critical infrastructures, large infrastructures, economic activities, agriculture, public buildings, housing)
  • Analysis of socio-economic resilience of the built environment to external shocks (health, economic, social)
  • Analysis and design of policies for territorial development at urban and regional scales
  • Development of innovative information systems for data collection, management, and use in post-event and preventive damage assessment
  • Development and elaboration of indicators for multi-risk vulnerability and resilience assessment for various systems (natural, built environment, socio-economic, infrastructure) at local, regional, macro-national, and international scales, with attention to transboundary events and risks
  • Preparation of tools for classification, assessment, and risk management in seismic, flood, volcanic, industrial accident (Seveso Directive), and na-tech contexts
  • Monitoring of environmental/territorial phenomena for risk/resilience assessment
  • Modeling of terrains, rock masses, and block structures
  • Design of protective structures for rock masses and unstable slopes
  • Analysis of seismic and static vulnerability of existing structures and infrastructures
  • Design of structures for new constructions to mitigate seismic risk
  • New approaches to structural design for new and existing buildings (seismic reinforcement)
  • New solutions for fire safety
  • Monitoring of existing structures and infrastructures for risk reduction
  • Design of “service” architectures (aqueducts, sewage treatment plants, power generation plants) and mitigation of impacts and risks for large infrastructures
  • Preparation and construction of emergency plans
  • Development of strategies/solutions for quality, safety, and inclusivity of public spaces
  • Development of new temporary housing models for emergencies and prototyping
  • Support for public administrations (agencies, ministries, educational institutions) in feasibility projects, from the scale of individual buildings to their potential relationships with transformations at the urban scale
  • Development of innovative solutions related to integration between buildings and different levels of accessibility
