Riqualificazione dell’edilizia residenziale pubblica: indagini sul patrimonio di ATC Torino - Refurbishment of Social housing: a survey of the building stock owned by ATC Torino
The Italian public housing building
stock is considerable, although quantitatively
less than that of other European
countries,. The public policies adopted in
the last decades have pushed the supply
of housing by the private sector and supported
the sale of the assets by the public
housing authorities. Those buildings are
often degraded and obsolete. Nevertheless,
the issue of redevelopment of this
part of the residential building stock is a
central focus, also because of its important
social role, especially in the current
period of crisis. One of the recurring factors
in the Italian case is the low quality of
this building stock due to the lack of an
organic maintenance activity. The paper
reports the first results of a research carried
out by the Department of Architecture
and Design in cooperation with a social
housing public authority, the Regional
Agency for the Central Piedmont House
(ATC). The goal of the research was the
development of methodologies for estimating
and analysis of maintenance
requirements. Moreover, the study suggests
and develops a forecasting tool for
the planning of maintenance operations
and redevelopment of the large building
estates
