A Development and Management Model for “Smart” …
339
The activities of buildings valorisation, compared to traditional restructuring activities, represent an innovative approach with particular attention to processing potential of the property well and putting it in relation to the urban context and the target
market needs.
Its fundamental goal is to increase in profitability through the design and construction of a “new and precise identity” of the property.
Starting from the analysis of the characteristics and transformative potential of
the building (both from the urbanistic, architectural, layout, plant engineering point
of view), we must define the potential need to change the destination in order to
obtain the maximum efficiency of performance and profitability.
In particular, the organisation of a process of property enhancement aims to successfully identify and subsequently determine the proportion of unexpressed real
estate value, i.e. what can be identified only by fully grasping the characteristics
and the potential of the specific asset in relation to market demand in that particular
context (Manfredi and Tronconi 2012).
Through a well-structured analysis and design activity it is, thus, possible to
identify the opportunity that can best satisfy the cost/performance ratio with respect
to the entire life cycle of the building.
Based on this, the text explains the underlying principles of the Eco System
Temporary House (ESTH) Works Experimentation and Innovation project funded
by the Lombardy region within its Smart Living program. Starting from the desire to
enhance an existing building, the project aims to create a management development
model for real estate assets.
This approach refers to the actual debate on the relevance of the building balance
to the global sustainability, as described by environmental, social, economic and
political aspects, that is linked to the restoration of existing buildings.
2 The Eco System Temporary House (ESTH) Project
Eco System Temporary House (ESTH) represents an innovative company for the
development and management of smart temporary residences through the functional,
constructive, energy and seismic redevelopment of existing buildings with innovative
construction and digital technologies as well as recycled and recyclable materials in
a circular economy vision.
Reconnecting to the principles of resilience management (Walker et al. 2006), the
project implements design practices aimed at developing innovation of both product
and process, according to the new “eco” paradigm coming from scientific debate
(also including those of the ecological engineering and eco-technologies).
