1 Introduction
This paper shows a project funded by the ‘Smart Living’ call promoted by Regione
Lombardia, which supports development and innovation projects carried out by partnerships in the construction, wood home furniture, appliance and high-tech sectors in
collaboration with the universities, implementing the Regional Law 26/2015 ‘Manifattura diffusa, creativa e tecnologia 4.0’ (‘Creative and common manufacture and
Technology 4.0’) and developing the “LOMBARDIA 5.0” strategy. The aim is to
address the evolutionary dynamics of productive sectors and especially to favour the
qualification of the economic system through the stabilization and enhancement of
‘excellent supply chains’ as development drivers.
Timeline:
• February 2017 open call
• June 2018 starting date of the project—design phase
• July 2019 realization of the mock-up
• September 2019 monitoring phase
• December 2019 end of project.
2 Cultural Framework
On an institutional level, the construction sector and that of production, in general,
have to act within a scenario marked by environmental issues, which must sensitize
the designing and fulfilment actions of building interventions.
The proposal here illustrated is placed in such context and is representative of a
design process, chiefly aiming at enhancing the energy used throughout the life cycle
(Adalberth 1997) of a single-family residential building with a permanent residential
function.
The project is based on the research and development of an industrial modular
building system model (Kotnik 2008; Kramer 2015) offering high-energy performances (OFF-GRID) but also entailing current market costs. It proposes the construction of a residential prototype, based on industrialization, recycling and the
eco-efficiency of natural, productive and professional resources criteria.
It focuses on the principles of hybridization and contamination between different
productive sectors which, upon reaching shared objectives and results, translate into
fruitful carriers of renewal and economic potentiality, for the purpose of contributing
to a revival of the construction sector according to a proactive interpretation of the
sustainability rules (environmental, social, economic and institutional).
