Negli ultimi decenni il consumo di materie prime ha subito una notevole crescita dovuto, fra l’altro, ad un incremento costante della popolazione mondiale; conseguentemente, l'uso consapevole delle risorse sta diventando sempre più cruciale per lo sviluppo sostenibile dell’economia moderna. Al fine di preservare l’ambiente per le generazioni future, le industrie sono obbligate a cercare soluzioni innovative ed a volte rivoluzionare. Tuttavia, per alcune di esse, ricercare tali soluzioni, mentendo un livello di profitto accettabile, risulta essere un compito molto arduo. Fra tutti i settori, quello dell’edilizia è senza dubbio quello che necessita cambiamenti più radicali; obsoleti processi di produzione/demolizione generano un rapporto output/input fra i peggiori dei settori dell’industria. Questo, combinato con l’elevata richiesta di materie prime, rendono il settore dell’edilizia una delle attività più dannose fatte dell’uomo. Attualmente, gli sforzi fatti riguardante la sostenibilità sono limitati esclusivamente ad alcune fasi del processo di costruzione. Tuttavia, l’industria delle costruzioni del domani necessita di un approccio olistico della sostenibilità che consideri tutte le fasi a partire dalla selezione del metodo di realizzazione del progetto stesso. La presente tesi ha come scopo quello di evidenziare, ai vari attori coinvolti nel processo di costruzione, nuove prospettive al fine di scegliere il processo edilizio più adatto, sostenibile, prestigioso e veloce. A tale scopo, la fase iniziale del lavoro di tesi è consistita nella ricerca e comparazioni di alcuni processi edilizi; sono stati analizzati gli attuali metodi tradizionali, identificandone in modo netto i vantaggi e svantaggi. Successivamente è stato eseguito un approfondito studio della letteratura al fine di interrogarsi su come raggiungere la massima sostenibilità e, a questo scopo. sono state definite alcune parole chiave. Dopo aver esaminato svariati progetti, è stato scelto come argomento di tesi quello nel quale il tema della sostenibilità è stata affrontata in maniera molto interessante: l’integrazione di smontaggio, il trasporto e rimontaggio della stessa opera sono processi molto complessi che meritano una analisi approfondita. La presente tesi è stata esaminata principalmente dal punto di vista del Cliente. Si è tentato di determinare ipotesi e idee che stiano alla base della decisione di sviluppo di un processo edilizio sottolineando come i metodi convenzionali odierni non riescono a raggiungere determinati obiettivi richiesti dal Cliente; è stata evidenziata la necessità di proporre un nuovo approccio. Infine, sono stati identificati e spiegati concetti e sistemi che sono fondamentali per la corretta applicazione di questa nuova visione.

Abstract
Over the last decades, the use of primary resources has been drastically rising due to the emerging global population. As a result, the sustainable use of resources is becoming more and more crucial for the development of current economies in a viable way. In order to maintain a clean and livable environment for future generations, many industries are forced to find innovative and sometimes revolutionary solutions. However, causing much less disturbance to the environment while keeping the profits at a desired level can be challenging for many sectors. Among all sectors, the construction industry is arguably in need for the most radical changes at various levels. Linear, outdated production and demolition processes are causing a ratio of output to input worse than most industries. Combined with huge need of resource required for construction, this inefficiency makes construction one of the most damaging human activities. Efforts are made in consideration of sustainability and efficiency only at limited phases of construction. Nevertheless, construction industry of the future needs a holistic approach for sustainability which is blended into every phase of a project starting right from the selection of the suitable project delivery method. By introducing this thesis, we are aiming to bring new perspectives to future project owners and decision makers in choosing the most suitable, prestigious, economical and fast project delivery method. For this purpose, detailed research and comparisons between conventional project delivery methods was made as the first step. Today’s traditional methods were analyzed, and their advantages and disadvantages were listed explicitly. A deep literature review was made questioning how to achieve the utmost sustainability in a construction project and certain keywords were defined. Furthermore, after examining many projects, a case study, in which sustainability issues were tackled in a most interesting way, was chosen as the subject of the thesis.
