La tesi esamina le problematiche relative alla sostenibilità in relazione alle strutture situate in luoghi contraddistinti da climi desertici. La candidata espone in primis l’attuazione di un particolare design urbano e la sua influenza sul vasto pubblico, per successivamente passare alla risoluzione di bisogni ed esigenze specifiche. Partendo dalla riflessione su diverse micro aree di interesse, continua illustrando il design architettonico del principale complesso del sito: il Campus della Scuola di Architettura, scegliendo la biblioteca della scuola come punto di partenza per spiegare la logica del suo progetto. Nella parte finale della tesi, la candidata esplora i problemi relativi alla sostenibilità dei consumi della biblioteca collegandoli alla particolare situazione climatica di estrema aridità. In che modo? Portando l’attenzione su tre questioni fondamentali: 1) Quali sarebbero i volumi appropriati e i loro “rivestimenti”?; 2) Quali sono i livelli di radiazione solare, come questa possa influire sull’ambiente e come si ricollega ai livelli di consumo?; 3) L’utilizzo di software come Autodesk Ecotect Analysis e i suoi principali limiti? I risultati rivelano una conclusione positiva, ovvero il progetto risulta idoneo ad essere classificato come un edificio non domestico energeticamente efficiente, usufruendo del livello C (51-75 kWh/m2) quale standard energetico minimo.

Abstract
The thesis examines issues of sustainability in relation with desert climates. The author first discusses the implementation of the Urban Design and its reflection to the various public, and later on continues to accommodate individual needs. The author then reflects on a micro concerns and continues with Architectural Design of the main complex of the site, the campus of School of Architecture, choosing the school’s library as the focus project. In the last part of the thesis, the author explores the issue of sustainable consumption of the school’s library and the link between harsh climate, discussing three questions: (1) What would be appropriate volume and its envelope?; (2) What are the levels of solar radiation, how that effects the environment and how that links the consumption levels?; (3) Autodesk Ecotect Analysis software and the main limits of it? The results reveal a positive conclusion, that the project has accomplished to be certified as an energy efficient non-domestic building, taking the C level (51-75 kWh/m2) – minimum energy standard.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
