Profile

Biography
Giuseppe Camillo Santangelo (Castelvetrano, 1980) in an architect. He graduated at the Faculty of Architecture of Ferrara in 2006, with a thesis entitled "Popular Theater of Sciacca. Proposed recovery through the functional and technological completion of the building in its context ", supervisor prof. Fabio Conato. The thesis was marked with a special mention "for the quality expressed by the project and for the original interpretation of the theme of the competition" at the "Guido Nardi Award 2007 - Innovative Transparencies", a competition announced by the BEST Department of the Milan Polytechnic. He also took the PhD in Technology of Architecture in 2011. He collaborates with the Faculty of Architecture of Ferrara, where he is contract professor of "Environmental Design" from 2016; moreover, in 2010 he opened his own studio, where he still carries out his profession, devoting himself above all to the technological design culture.

Doctoral research

Dal componente al sistema: i punti critici di interfaccia dell'involucro edilizio nei sistemi costruttivi tradizionali. Evoluzione del quadro normativo e dei componenti verso la possibilità di certificare il “sistema”. (From the component to the system: the critical interfaces in building’s envelope in traditional building systems. Evolution of the regulatory framework and components towards the possibility of certifying the "system").

The present research, beyond offering a picture of prior art on the components for the construction of basic skins in traditional “on wet” coverings, and on the criticalities of interface to light of the current regulatory framework and the situation of the construction market, puts to system and analyzes the nodal issues characterized in the relationships that elapse between the vertical closing and the other classes of involved technical elements in the definition of a covering. In specific the search heads to characterize with of the complex existing relations between the indications expressed from the enforced norm in the three withins taken like reference - energetic, acoustic and seismic -, the technological applicative necessities in the nodal issues indicated and the performances offered from the coverings realized in this way. Such distance not only places in evidence an increasing necessity of innovation in the within of the components, but - and perhaps above all – in that of the putting in work and the management of the constructive process of that type of coverings defined here like traditional.
