Adaptive Exoskeleton Systems: Remodelage …
371
It allows for construction from outside the building minimizing inside work within
the housing unit. It is an “innovative device” to connect technological and social
issues in the organization of a particular building site management process. It allows
for the regular execution of building functions, thus containing the costs of the building site.
The exoskeleton systems can have different configurations. It allows users to
achieve sufficient settlement density, creating the possibility of carrying out new
housing. It is an external structural grid that gives the designer and user a certain level
of customization freedom, above all in terms of the morphological and functional
configuration of the façade, which can be read as an interface system between private
interior space and public space.
The adaptive exoskeleton systems are able to create balconies, greenhouses, etc.;
technological elements for shading control can be added; the architectural morphology and typology can be reconfigured and some customized functions can be
considered. It is possible to get a new building: a new architecture (Fig. 3).
The integrated rehabilitation actively involves users and designers, through a
device that connects technological innovation and social need for involvement, in
order to assign an active role to the user in a process through which they are strictly
interested in providing a new aesthetic identity to buildings. A design process that
requires significant disciplinary skills: skills that today Department of Architecture,
Built environment and Construction engineering of the Politecnico di Milano can
provide.
