La sostenibilità dello spazio pubblico nell'edilizia residenziale, paradigma verso l'innovazione nel processo ambientale
Abstract
The research investigates the quality in the construction process taking into account environmental issues that have become part of the construction project on urban scale and the building, over the last few decades. A new culture has taken over, that is the birth of a sensibility that wants to create a systemic way to integrate social issues in environmental sustainability, that leads to reconsider the processes and models’ growth known so far, especially in the thought of Brundtland. Starting from the analysis of the main elements, the study of the construction process have been deepen with the aim of defining its complexity on the one hand, and showing the typical elements of the process, on the other hand. The study of all the actors involved, starting from the legal frame work, the institutional and internal hierarchies and, above all, the dynamics related to the controller, has allowed the identification of emergent behaviours, which cannot always guarantee the final quality of the architectural realms. In order to consider the quality of such a complex process, the theme has been limited to the public space projects in residential housing, allowing the study of a sector in which many environmental issues has been focused on internationally, and that have brought significant improvements on urban scale. The research has tried to respond to the initial objective through a dual interpretation. First of all by defining, through analysis of case studies, the effectiveness of the proactive/inductive model processes used in construction such as the British system, in pursuing the overall objectives through specific objectives. Then focusing on the proactive/inductive model, as a new paradigm of quality that can effectively control the process of construction of public space. The research, which sought primarily to explore the theme of quality in complex processes, opens up to the possibility of further exploring the transfer of technology from the design of public space in the building sector. This translation is capable of enclosing the instances necessary for the prosecution of quality in the Italian building process.
