Interest towards urban micromobility has been growing lately, and it will now increase further due to the measures used against COVID-19. It is recommended avoid close contact prevent contagion. Municipalities have called implement wider cycling networks so that people may go their work place by rather than using public transport. This paper focused on path design an infrastructure-building information model (I-BIM). The issue covered was how connect cost safety requirements in first steps...
The aim of this paper, in line with the 2030 European Agenda and 2021 Italian “Recovery Resilience Plan” objectives, is to define an evaluation methodology tool support public administrations detect buildings, currently unused or underused, that might be apt for transformation interventions. focus on historical healthcare buildings since these show widespread decay neglect. A five-step has been developed: screening assets; classification, evaluation, identification based “potential index”;...
The legislative framework on territorial and urban planning has become increasingly rich complex in the European Union, particularly Italy. structured – often hindering system of division responsibilities between central State, Regions, local institutions, organisms generates different levels administrative verification. environmental landscape constraints by which each Public Administration with jurisdiction over territory exercises its powers strongly impact management negatively affect...
The recently intensified trend of centripetal movements from small to bigger centres has multiplied the number inhabitants large cities. In Italy, this resulted in worrying figures: more than 70% Italian Municipalities have less 5,000 inhabitants. Despite several regional and national policies dedicating programs funds counteract progressive phenomenon fostering repopulation abandoned villages, is far being halted. Though functional gap between cities villages evident, study previous...
The European Union is committed to enforce limitations water pollution through specific directives (UWWTD 91/271/EEC). delay of some EU member states in transposing these has had an impact on the quality wastewater treatment system. Therefore, it necessary intervene with adjustment procedures and construction new plants. aim study carry out economic feasibility assessment for costs urban plant medium-low capacity (<50,000 Population Equivalent or pe) according a simplified process...
BIM technologies provide tools and processes to support the entire life of a project effectively, from strategic planning maintenance.Although this method takes its first steps in architectural field also infrastructure design currently make frequent use tools.This paper aims apply oriented underground railway extension metropolitan area Catania order show potential managing all components multi-disciplinary project.
Building Information Modelling is the latest phase of a revolutionary process that over last thirty years has profoundly transformed world design in construction sector all its different disciplines: architecture and engineering design, mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering, operation maintenance, cost safety, etc. From 2D 3D assisted to parametric innovation led profound change perspective as far way conceiving work phases concerned, from concept execution consequently management. BIM...
Public residential buildings make a large portion of the European existing stock and they quite often require deep renovation interventions. A methodology for setting priorities targeting regeneration investments should be defined relying on increasing use building information modelling (BIM) tools even managing buildings. The aim this paper is to integrate evaluation process into BIM Revit software developing specific plug-in, Decision support system (DSS) that will help identify most...
Objetivo: Establecer el papel que juegan dibujo y modelo BIM como representación o simulación de la arquitectura respectivamente. La irrupción generalización los sistemas en mundo profesional construcción obligan a reflexionar, desde experiencia análisis riguroso, para establecer riesgos oportunidades esto supone. Metodología: A partir autores crítico sobre innovaciones tecnológicas aplicadas arquitectónica manejo herramientas digitales plataformas BIM, se establecen algunos conceptos con...
The present paper was prompted by the activity carried out within scope of an EU-funded project (WARMEST). It calls to analyse reasons for degradation Patio de Los Leones, which attracts over 2 million tourists per year Granada in Spain. We review here most advanced studies and regulations on assessment social impact mass tourism a novel methodology its effects. dug into material available networks—especially feedback posts published major relevant sites—and got comprehensive picture...
Abstract This study is prompted by the activity carried out within a EU funded project (WARMEST)[1] whose goal to analyze monuments’ degradation due factors such as climate change and growing number of tourists, create model describe anticipate phenomena, put in place user-friendly Decision Support System that will help setting preventive maintenance plans. As part project, we had chance depth at Patio de Los Leones, core world-famous site Alhambra Generalife, which attracts Granada Spain...
In recent years, the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) is increasingly applied to urban based on principles smart growth and sustainable development. The growing complexity systems metropolitan areas requires an integrated strategic vision. This means addressing issues mobility accessibility their impact environment. Catania area characterized by a highly urbanized settlement with high percentage sprawl. General Master Plan city, shaped in 1964 finally endorsed 1969, severely...
Architectures for health have a crucial role in collectivity: according to international ranking scores (for example, CEOWorld Magazine’s Health Care Index), Italy, there are very advanced and well-functioning healthcare services, even though many facilities old obsolete, unorganized, dilapidated, sometimes unsafe. It has been estimated that 60% of built more than 40 years ago. Recent studies suggest the service life hospitals should be set around 60 years; after reaching this age, structure...
The growing interest in the enhancement, management, and sale of public building stock has increased importance their valuation and, as a result, need to identify suitable methods for estimating value that take into account peculiarities. They often boast architectural features (interfloor distance, layout, finishings, types wiring/heating systems, etc.) make them ‘extraordinary’ assets; some cases, these also endow with monumental and/or historical importance. Thus, when valuating, it is...
Public authorities address issues related to urban maintenance management on a daily basis. Maintenance is vital for preserving efficient architectural and functional quality, but the economic resources that can be invested in it are increasingly limited. Thus, tend carry out works only when effective emergency situations occur. On contrary, adopting preventive plan would allow better of available budget savings resources. The paper aims present methodology optimize costs by integrating GIS...
The goal of this paper is to present a methodology for setting priorities among interventions in the old city center Florence, going from conservation regeneration its heritage. proposed based on specific methods analysis degradation and parameters optimization construction costs. can be considered an additional part Management Plan site Historic Center Florence (adopted first time 2016 now updated with inclusion buffer zone) that “represents important tool enhancement Heritage also source...
The continuous growth of vehicles on the road and consequent traffic congestion, especially in suburban areas, is a source for major concern. It impacts negatively operating costs infrastructures social economic life surrounding area. From an perspective, travel time displacement between two junctions network one most significant factors to be taken into consideration. On this basis, designer decides level service type infrastructure built traveller assesses alternatives existing modes...
The structure of urban transportation and mobility is dramatically changing, partly due to the explosive growth in shared-use modes (SUM) travel such as bikesharing, carsharing and, more recently, electronic (e-)scooter/ monowheels - sharing. Municipal transport planners policymakers are struggling both understand manage their potential impacts. Developing, adopting enforcing regulations that aim maximize options while simultaneously ensuring public safety good proving be a challenging task...
