    The interoperability of the tools for managing and controlling the design process is one of the themes on which research and innovations are focussed in the field of BIM (Building Information Modelling) systems. A strategic objective of the STREAMER research, co-funded by the European Union within the context of the Seventh Framework Programme, is that of defining the tools and methods of designing hospital buildings that allow for a 50% reduction in energy consumption and emissions in large healthcare districts. Contributing to the achievement of this result is the creation of integrated tools, based on BIM and GIS systems, capable of providing an effective backup to the decisions of the various subjects involved in the project and the management of hospital complexes

    System for Monitoring Environmental Parameters in a Hospital Facility

    The paper presents a system for managing and monitoring environ- mental parameters in hospital facilities. It relies on existing data collected with a CAFM (Computer Aided Facility Management) system and allows granted users (such as CEO or Energy Manager) to monitor the ongoing energy consumption of a given activity area (Operating Rooms, Diagnostics, Intensive Care Units, Wards) in relation to the compliance to relevant threshold parameters. The sys- tem easily outputs aggregated data via PDF reporting

    Integrated data capturing requirements for 3D semantic modelling of cultural heritage: the inception protocol

    Get PDF
    The generation of high quality 3D models can be still very time-consuming and expensive, and the outcome of digital reconstructions is frequently provided in formats that are not interoperable, and therefore cannot be easily accessed. This challenge is even more crucial for complex architectures and large heritage sites, which involve a large amount of data to be acquired, managed and enriched by metadata. In this framework, the ongoing EU funded project INCEPTION – Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D semantic modelling proposes a workflow aimed at the achievements of efficient 3D digitization methods, post-processing tools for an enriched semantic modelling, web-based solutions and applications to ensure a wide access to experts and non-experts. In order to face these challenges and to start solving the issue of the large amount of captured data and time-consuming processes in the production of 3D digital models, an Optimized Data Acquisition Protocol (DAP) has been set up. The purpose is to guide the processes of digitization of cultural heritage, respecting needs, requirements and specificities of cultural assets

    Research-Action-Research Towards a Circular Urban System for Multi-level Regeneration in Historical Cities: The Case of Bologna

    Get PDF
    Urban regeneration is a key topic in Europe as cities are asked to propose efficient actions for the transition toward a more liveable system. The singularities and specificities of each city urges for a flexible and multi-scale approach able to face and combine a mix of cultural heritage, social and economic constraints, climatic and architectural specificities. In order to work toward the definition of site-specific and flexible methods, the ROCK project investigates how to move towards a Circular Urban System Model to be applied to historic centres. The paper presents the concept and the pilot actions undertaken in Bologna to build a site-specific approach enabling local stakeholders to collaborate toward the definition of action plans for the transition into sustainable systems of places. The project adopts a multi- level methodology to create links among key areas, resources, stakeholders and tools in order to re-circulate local values for their valorisation and enhancement. The paper describes the elaboration and the research-action-research initiatives as results of Bologna\u2019s University area experimentations, deepening the relation among public spaces, local stakeholders and social exchanges. In particular, it presents the first experimentations of the project into this area: The Living Lab approach and co-design experiences

    Heritage-led ontologies: Digital platform for supporting the regeneration of cultural and historical sites

    Get PDF
    The increasing application of digital technologies to cultural heritage (CH) is wide and well documented, including a variety of tools such as digital archives, online guides and HBIM repositories. Several vocabularies and ontologies were designed to order heritage data and make CH more accessible and exploitable. However, these tools have often focused on a particular dimension of CH producing high value in separate sectors (e.g. access to conservation of historic buildings and data valorisation for restoration of heritage assets) but lacking ways for adapting or replicating the model to urban complex systems. Moreover, many studies and tools show large effort in cataloguing and archiving, but less in providing tools for designing and managing. The ROCK platform, developed within the Horizon 2020 (H2020) funded project ROCK (GA 730280), addresses the need for a management and interventionoriented interoperable tool, aimed at storing, visualizing, elaborating and linking data on cultural heritage. The use of already existing ontologies was not sufficient for developing a tool to deal with the complexity of urban systems and heterogeneous data sources. Instead, a participative methodology was set in place for the development of a context-based semantic framework to define the needs and requirements of heritage-led regeneration actions

    Edilizia Sanitaria Territoriale. Il progetto e la realizzazione di strutture sanitarie destinate all’assistenza, la cura palliativa e la lungodegenza. Residenze Sanitarie Assistenziali, Hospice e Ospedali di Comunità

    Il sistema sanitario, che vede l'ospedale quale centro indiscusso e quasi esclusivo della cura e dell'assistenza sanitaria, si evolve secondo forme organizzative diverse che ne ridimensionano il ruolo quale centro ad alta tecnologia per la gestione critica dei problemi terapeutici; parallelamente, tali forme richiedono una rete compiuta di cure intermedie a bassa intensità come risposta al crescente bisogno di servizi assistenziali - e territoriali - a lungo termine. In particolare, le residenze sanitarie assistenziali (nell'ambito dell'assistenza agli anziani non più autosufficienti), i centri residenziali per le cure palliative - hospice (nell'ambito dei servizi sanitari per la malattia degenerativa) e gli ospedali di comunità (nell'ambito dei servizi sanitari per la lungodegenza e la post-acuzie), per il notevole e riconosciuto significato clinico ed etico, sono da ritenersi tre modelli organizzativi intermedi indispensabili; in particolare gli hospice e gli ospedali di comunità risultano tanto essenziali quanto scarsamente approfonditi dal punto di vista architettonico. Le strutture per l'assistenza, per la malattia degenerativa, per la lungodegenza e per la post-acuzie realizzano compiutamente le proprie finalità quando sono strettamente collegate con il territorio, quando si interfacciano, cioè, con il sistema delle cure primarie (Medici di Medicina Generale) e con l'Assistenza Domiciliare Integrata: la continuità assistenziale tra la fase dell'ospedale e l'assistenza extra-ospedaliera territoriale è essenziale perché l'obiettivo di deospedalizzazione delle cure, verso cui l'organizzazione sanitaria si sta muovendo, sia conquistato appieno. Le linee guida alla progettazione si basano sull'analisi dettagliata della letteratura e delle esperienze realizzate, all'estero ed in Italia, ed in funzione delle prescrizioni normative, nazionali e regionali, in vigore. I criteri generali di progettazione proposti descrivono i caratteri tipologici e distributivi e l'organizzazione funzionale degli spazi; le aree funzionali e le unità spaziali individuate vengono quindi approfondite secondo una descrizione a schede. Completano il volume 11 schede progetto dettagliate di esperienze realizzate in Italia. Il risultato raggiunto è l'elaborazione di uno strumento utile di interpretazione delle attuali esigenze sanitarie e di guida alla progettazione, anche dell'esistente, pensata in funzione di una corretta gestione dei servizi assistenziali e sanitari intermedi
