Abstract:

Nowadays, urban climate change and energy efficiency of the built environment are major challenges worldwide. Mitigating the main anthropogenic factors at the base of climate change and adapting to the inevitable consequences become urgent. In a climate-responsive and energy retrofit perspective, we focus on contemporary debates, best practices and design strategies regarding the preservation of Italian postwar mass-housing complexes. Specifically, we discuss the case of Tor Bella Monaca (TBM) in Rome, a vast self-sufficient public-housing complex completed at the beginning of the 1980s. Today, TBM is subject to a series of public debates, pilot projects, and research proposals by public and private institutions focused on retrofit as an alternative to demolition. We approach the issue through an interdisciplinary perspective, addressing the contribution of climate-responsive and energy efficient design strategies for the preservation of modern mass housing complexes. In addition, we propose a critical framework on cross-scale approach useful both for building and open space quality and comfort. Finally, we present the most discussed design strategies in literature and practice in the case of TBM and how they intend to support social, historical, and urban values of the neighborhood.

摘要：

如今，城市气候变化和建筑环境的能源效率是全球面临的重大挑战。减轻气候变化基础上的主要人为因素并适应不可避免的后果变得紧迫。从气候响应和能源改造的角度来看，我们专注于有关保护意大利战后大规模住宅区的当代辩论、最佳实践和设计策略。具体来说，我们讨论了罗马的 Tor Bella Monaca (TBM) 案例，这是一个在 1980 年代初建成的大型自给自足的公共住宅综合体。今天，TBM 受到公共和私人机构的一系列公开辩论、试点项目和研究建议的影响，这些机构专注于改造作为拆除的替代方案。我们通过跨学科的视角来处理这个问题，解决气候响应和节能设计策略对保护现代大众住宅区的贡献。此外，我们提出了一个关于跨尺度方法的关键框架，对建筑和开放空间的质量和舒适度都有用。最后，我们介绍了 TBM 案例中文献和实践中讨论最多的设计策略，以及它们打算如何支持社区的社会、历史和城市价值。
