Adaptive Exoskeleton Systems:
Remodelage for Social Housing
on Piazzale Visconti (BG)
Oscar E. Bellini
Abstract To promote the renewal and sustainable requalification of social housing
in Lombardy means to carry out research in order to identify solutions as efficient
and effective as possible, which do not involve the demolition of the building but
promote its enhancement. Today it is possible to intervene on existing buildings with
new strategies which give all-round and multipurpose solutions to the general issues,
using techniques that go beyond punctual interventions and extend the useful life
cycle of the built environment. The seismic upgrade must be at the basis of every
project within construction. Thanks to an adaptive exoskeleton system it is possible to
innovate the architectural image, to support an equitable and sustainable development
based on the prevention and risk management connected to unexpected seismic events
and to guarantee aspects of structural safety and physical integrity of the users, to
improve the morphological, spatial and typological organization of buildings. By
using an exoskeleton system, it is possible to innovate the architectural make-up, to
support an equitable and sustainable development based on the prevention and the
risk management connected to unexpected seismic events. A way to take into due
consideration the now unavoidable aspects of structural safety and physical integrity
of the users. This paper, part of a Departmental Study, presents the first guidelines
to the renewal of social housing buildings owned by Aler Bergamo, Lecco, Sondrio
on Piazzale Visconti in Bergamo.
