The Plan aims to identify a synthesis of the main environmental issues related to
the area of intervention, in order to derive a calculation method that can show the
environmental performance achieved in the redevelopment of the individual lots.
The main environmental issues focalized in the Village are:
– reduction of the Urban Heat Island
– reduction of energy consumption
– reduction of the hydraulic risk
The “Artisan Village Guidelines” summarize the main features of the environmental method prepared by the administration. It is worth stressing that there are
various analyses still under way for the final validation of various technical and
procedural issues; as a consequence, although the structural characteristics have
already been defined, the approach implemented may still be modified or emended.
In any case, the following items were thoroughly considered:
– Appropriate Building Massing:
– Energy Efficiency
– Passive strategies including: highly insulated; massing well arranged for summer
radiation and also winter – optimized utilization of daylight,
