Amsterdam Noord, nell’immaginario collettivo e coerentemente con la sua evoluzione storica, ha sempre avuto un ruolo marginale nella città di Amsterdam, essendo fisicamente e mentalmente disconnesso dalla vitalità del centro storico. Partendo dal concorso internazionale Europan 14, il lavoro di tesi propone, a differenti scale, un intervento volto a reintegrare e rivitalizzare un piccolo quartiere nella parte nord di Amsterdam, Papavedriehoek. Quanto funzionalmente eterogenee sono le nostre città? Questa è la principale domanda posta dal concorso. Guardando il modo in cui le correnti di rigenerazione urbana sono state organizzate, si può notare come un programma funzionale è sempre stato escluso: l’economia produttiva. Vivere e lavorare sono funzioni sempre più, al giorno d’oggi, interconnesse. Tale tematica ad Amsterdam è di particolare importanza considerando che le industrie creative e la ricerca rappresentano un importante fattore economico nella capitale Olandese. Lo studio si riferisce alla riqualificazione dell’area per ospitare piccole e medie imprese, spazi per la ricerca e piccoli laboratori di artigianato, tenendo in considerazione il modo in cui il lavoro si sta evolvendo. Nella tesi, è stato seguito un processo multi-scalare: partendo da un masterplan concettuale e definito un modello urbano a larga scala, si è poi proceduto allo sviluppo di un edificio multifunzionale, focus principale del presente lavoro, e dove le attività di lavoro, studio, ricerca e residenza sono combinate in sinergia in un complesso organismo. Il progetto è caratterizzato dalla definizione di soluzioni energetiche efficienti, richiesta avanzata dalla competizione e rimarcata durante le conferenze svoltesi nei luoghi dell’area di progetto. Tenendo in grande considerazione tali richieste fin dall’inizio, il processo di progettazione è stato caratterizzato e continuamente supportato da analisi energetiche a partire dallo stadio preliminare fino ad arrivare anche a quello definitivo e di dettaglio, seguendo un approccio alla progettazione basato sulle prestazioni energetiche. Andando nel dettaglio nel processo di progettazione fino alla definizione del progetto nelle sue caratteristiche tecniche, questo scopo è stato supportato ed è confluito in simulazioni energetiche a regime dinamico relative alle principali strategie proposte: l’uso di pannelli fotovoltaici e il riscaldamento solare passivo attraverso la serra bioclimatica, allo scopo di ridurre i consumi di riscaldamento che costituiscono una questione fondamentale nel clima di Amsterdam.

Abstract
Amsterdam Noord, in people’s mind and coherently with its historical development, plays a marginal role in the city of Amsterdam, being phyically and mentally disconnected from the vibrancy of the city center. Starting from the International Competition Europan 14, the thesis work proposes, at different scales, an intervention devoted to the re-integration and the re-vitalization of a small neighbourhood in Amsterdam Noord, Papavedriehoek. How mixed is actually the mixed-city? This is the main question arising from the competition. Looking back at how the wave of urban regeneration has been organized, it can be seen that one program has always been excluded: the productive economy. Living and working increasingly go hand in hand in today’s world. In Amsterdam, this is an important aspect, since the creative industry and the research in the Dutch capital is an important economic factor. We are talking about redeveloping areas for small and medium enterprises, places for research and sharing knowledge, places for small manufacturing, taking into account the direction in which the production is going to. In the thesis, a multi-scale process is followed: starting from a conceptual masterplan and defined the large-scale urban model, it has been translated into a multi-functional building where the main focus of this work is found and where the activities of working, studying, doing research and living, are running in sinergy in a complex organism. The project, in order to pay a particular attention on the request for sustainability and good use of green energy clarified by the competition and highlighted during the on-site conferences, is strongly oriented towards the definition of green strategies and energy efficient solutions. Aiming to take this aspect into account from the very beginning, the design process was continuously supported by specific analyses both at the preliminary stage and at the detailed stage, following a Performance Based Design approach. Going more and more into details in the process, towards the technical design of the intervention, this objective was enhanced and ended up with in-depth dynamic simulations of the main strategies proposed: the use of solar energy through PV panels and the passive solar heating through the sunspace, with the aim of minimizing the heating consumptions which are the main issue in Amsterdam climate.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
