Results and considerations are presented from a research aimed to point out the most appropriate configurations – taking into account the available innovative protection systems - and to develop a methodology for building design based on the study of the main factors – architectural, technological and structural – which influence the response of buildings to environment actions. The research is structured in four phases: data collection, requirements definition, performance analysis, summary of results. The goal consists of an organic list of solutions allowing fo minimising the environmental impact, optimising the use of materials and construction techniques, enhancing the recycling of materials, reducing the energy consumption, integrating the architecture with the innovative technological and structural systems. The research is currently being carried out and some results obtained at the intermediate stage are presented.

Abstract
Results and considerations are presented from a research aimed to point out the most appropriate configurations – taking into account the available innovative protection systems - and to develop a methodology for building design based on the study of the main factors – architectural, technological and structural – which influence the response of buildings to environment actions. The research is structured in four phases: data collection, requirements definition, performance analysis, summary of results. The goal consists of an organic list of solutions allowing fo minimising the environmental impact, optimising the use of materials and construction techniques, enhancing the recycling of materials, reducing the energy consumption, integrating the architecture with the innovative technological and structural systems. The research is currently being carried out and some results obtained at the intermediate stage are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
