In molti contesti preistorici e protostorici italiani sono largamente rinvenuti resti strutturali in terra e conglomerati architettonici combusti o parzialmente cementati. La loro caratterizzazione tecnologica è un passo importante per... more
The building up an intact roof is the most important among other constructions in process of building. The roof must meet the requirements of energy efficiency but at first the requirements for its waterproofing – protection against water... more
The goal of this paper is the proposal of a Process Map for building retrofit. Process Mapping is a useful tool to underline the different stages of a process, the involved actors, the documents produced during each stage, and to clarify... more
This concept paper presents Deconstruction Kits as a means of creatively engaging learners in problem solving and critical thinking, skills that are applicable to all STEM disciplines. Deconstruction Kits, designed to promote learning... more
Building Technology 1.
Low energy buildings use less than 50 % of the energy used in typical buildings. Such energy efficient buildings can only be achieved by applying unconventional approaches. However, the applicability of the unconventional strategies and... more
L'articolo riguarda la storia costruttiva e una proposta di riuso della Caserma Valfré di Bonzo di Alessandria
In the RCC construction, water-cement ratio is detrimental for concrete. We always try to restrict the water-cement ratio because we want structure achieve its higher strength rather it is necessary for structure life. For the chemical... more
The sober architecture of Alvaro Siza for the modern art museum of the Serralves Foundation in Porto required that the materials used in particular for acoustical correction ago unnoticed. This has led to the development of an absorptive... more
This 1992 paper reports on work in progress in 'Design for Energy Efficiency,' one of fifteen task areas of the U.S. Department of Energy sponsored Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing research program. In this task, design studies... more
A research proposal reviewing every possibilities of facility management.
This paper focuses on the temperature control in a multi-zone building. The lumped heat transfer model based on thermal resistance and capacitance is used to analyze the system dynamics and control strategy. The resulting thermal network,... more
This slide show is for Building Technology course.
consists of analysis made by my group discussion in this course.
for the plumbing, I'm not really quite sure so better crosscheck the information for more exact information.

Construction progress monitoring has been perceived as one of the key factors that prompt the achievement of a construction project. However, assessing the progress is time consuming, costly and obliges specialized personnel to reduce... more
Construction is a sector that has been tagged with poor performance in the UK. Reports on the industry since 1944 have repeatedly described the industry as fragmented and adversarial. Furthermore, poor project information arising from... more
The Saudi contemporary dwelling standard is unaffordable to majority of families, in terms of area, pattern, building materials and technique, several affordable options appropriate to young, should be provided. The research starts with... more
From John Ruskin to John Turner, from PREVI-Lima to the Argentinian experiences of the 70s (Víctor Pelli), from the Elemental projects (Aravena & CO) in Chile to recent Do-it-yourself housing in Europe, this paper aims to shed light on... more
This paper presents advancements in mycelium construction, demonstrated through a large-scale monolithic mycelium vault structure. In the burgeoning field of bio-materials, mycelium has emerged as a potentially viable building material... more
Assessing Social value is an essential means of understanding the impact of activities of organisations on people and their communities. Over the years, several debates have sparked up as to how it can be evaluated but, often these... more
Suicide and suicide attempt risks in mental health facilities are high due to the deterioration of mental state of patients as well as the affected emotion due to involuntary hospitalisation for treatment. This is often responded with... more
The innovative daylighting systems (IDS) seek to meet the illumination requirements in buildings, where inadequate amount of daylight is provided by the conventional daylighting systems. Many IDS have been commercially launched, but... more
