HSS. Housing system solution. Progettazione di cohousing a sistema modulare innovativo ecosostenibile : applicazione nell'area dell'ex trafileria Mazzoleni di Seriate, oggetto di concorso europeo per la riconversione

We are indebted to our planet, an ecWe are indebted to our planet, an ecological debt, the amount of which is evident in the relationship between the resources that humanity requires and the land generates, ratio estimated at 1.51 at the end of 2012. Italy has an energy dependence among the highest in Europe, amounting to 83% of primary energy needs and of these, 35%, is due to construction. From this state of affairs derives reason be of this thesis, which develops an idea, a possible solution. Starting from a transformation of the city of Seriate, the subject of an international design competition, the ex “Mazzoleni” area, our project is looming to be an energy-intensive solution, innovative, modular usable for both the new tissue and for the existing buildings. An effective solution can not be separated from context of the project, but on the contrary must communicate with it, relate both the shapes, the expressions and companies in which the project comes to life, creating continuity with the buildings both for the physical characteristics of the territory and environmental conditions, to benefit from the opportunities offered by the site in terms of sustainability and ecology. The our idea, even if bringing in a concept of modularity and simplicity of construction, allows to express artistic freedom in this report, also adapting to the different opportunities and threats inherent in each project. This discussion summarizes all the logical steps and the work we have done to arrive at the definition of HSS: Housing System Solution. Each chapter, according to the different subjects covered, is marked by a letter which refers to the title and content; this is useful to identify the attachments. Starting from the research of architectural references, who distinguished themselves in the world of buildings for their unique characteristics, it is based a process analysis (# A) of “cases study”, by filing, and these were selected according to the fundamental concepts, or keywords, which marked the entire route. Grapple on a real context of intervention, requires reading of the demands and expectations contained within the preliminary documents of the call (# B) and of the context (C #). It generates a process of elaboration of the urban and architectural design (# D) enclosing all the considerations derived from the analysis of the site, as well as the definition of the same system that underlies the project. The idea that born at this stage requires a characterization of its technological elements (# E) , for the structural sizing (# F) and the management (# G) of the plant scheme, all can not ignore the identification of strategies for sustainability and energy efficiency (H). In this phase we have validated the choices made, on data obtained from comparative analyzes between different systems technological, and analyzed the correspondence to the change of the boundary conditions for the applicability in different contexts. The main advantage of the idea comes from the speed and by its ability to return a built complex in a short time. in conclusion we have been investigated (# I) on this point in order to understand the real potential of HSS. The work carried out has, ultimately, more aspects that have gone through different phases of study presented in this summary; those who want may enter to see our challenge, to realize an idea related to a concept of prefabrication and, at the same time, verify in a context of real need the utility of the system. In this sense the invitation presented itself as an ideal opportunity to develop and questioning our work.ological debt, the amount of which is evident in the relationship between the resources that humanity requires and the land generates, ratio estimated at 1.51 at the end of 2012.

Siamo in debito nei confronti del nostro pianeta, un debito ecologico, la cui entità è evidente nel rapporto tra quantità di risorse che l’umanità richiede e quelle naturali che la terra genera, rapporto stimato pari a 1,51 al termine dell’anno 2012. L’Italia ha una dipendenza energetica tra le più elevate in Europa, pari allo 83 % del fabbisogno di energia primaria e di questi, il 35 % è dovuto all’edilizia. Da tale stato dei fatti trae ragione d’essere questa tesi, in cui si sviluppa un’idea, una possibile soluzione. Partendo da un ambito di trasformazione del comune di Seriate, oggetto di concorso di progettazione internazionale, l’area dell’ex trafileria Mazzoleni, il nostro progetto si prefigura d’essere una soluzione non energivora, modulare ed innovativa utilizzabile sia per il nuovo tessuto costruito sia in un’ipotesi di implementazione dell’edilizia esistente. Una soluzione efficace non può essere svincolata dal contesto di progetto, ma al contrario ne deve essere parte integrante e comunicare con esso; è necessario relazionarsi sia a forme, espressioni e società in cui il progetto prende vita, creando continuità con il costruito, sia alle caratteristiche fisiche del territorio e alle condizioni ambientali, per trarre vantaggio dalle opportunità offerte dal sito in un’ottica di sostenibilità ed ecologia. La nostra idea, seppur portando in se un concetto di modularità e semplicità costruttiva, consente comunque di esprimere in libertà artistica questa relazione, adattandosi inoltre alle diverse opportunità e minacce insite ad ogni progetto. La presente trattazione riassume tutti i passaggi logici e il lavoro da noi svolto per giungere alla definizione del sistema HSS: Housing System Solution. Ogni capitolo, funzione delle differenti tematiche trattate, è contraddistinto da una lettera che ne richiama il titolo ed il contenuto; la stessa è utile per individuarne gli elaborati. Partendo dalla ricerca di riferimenti architettonici, che si distinguessero nel panorama delle costruzioni per le loro caratteristiche uniche, si è basato un processo di analisi (#A) di casi studio, tramite schedatura; questi sono stati selezionati secondo i concetti fondamentali, parole chiave, che hanno contraddistinto l’intero percorso. Come detto, la volontà di cimentarsi su di un reale contesto d’intervento, necessita della lettura delle richieste e aspettative contenute all’interno dei documenti preliminari del bando (#B) e del contesto (#C) di riferimento. Si genera un processo di elaborazione del disegno (#D) urbanistico ed architettonico, fondato su schemi che racchiudono tutte le considerazioni desunte dalle analisi del sito, nonché la definizione dello stesso sistema che sta alla base del progetto. L’idea che nasce in questa fase richiede una caratterizzazione dei suoi elementi (#E) tecnologici, sul funzionamento (#F) e dimensionamento strutturale e sulla gestione (#G) dello schema impiantistico; il tutto non può prescindere dalla individuazione di strategie di sostenibilità ed efficienza energetica (H). In questa fase si sono inoltre validate le scelte effettuate, su dati ricavati da analisi comparative, tra diversi sistemi tecnologici ed analizzato la rispondenza alla variazione delle condizioni al contorno per l’applicabilità in diversi contesti. Il principale vantaggio dell’idea deriva dalla rapidità di posa in cantiere e dalla relativa capacità di restituzione di un complesso edilizio in breve tempo. In conclusione si è indagato (#I) su questo punto per comprendere le reali potenzialità di HSS. Il lavoro svolto presenta, in definitiva, più aspetti che hanno attraversato parallelamente diverse fasi di approfondimento nel percorso di studio che viene presentato in questa sintesi; chi vorrà addentrarsi potrà capire quale è stata la nostra sfida, quella di concretizzare ed ingegnerizzare un’idea legata ad un concetto di prefabbricazione ed al contempo verificarla in un contesto di necessità reale; in tal senso il bando si è presentato come l’occasione ideale per sviluppare e mettere in discussione il nostro lavoro.
