Buildings for Education, 1st ed. 2020 A Multidisciplinary Overview of The Design of School Buildings Research for Development Series
Coordonnateurs : Della Torre Stefano, Bocciarelli Massimiliano, Daglio Laura, Neri Raffaella
This open access book presents theoretical and practical research relating to the vast, publicly financed program for the construction of new schools and the reorganization of existing educational buildings in Italy. This transformative process aims to give old buildings a fresh identity, to ensure that facilities are compliant with the new educational and teaching models, and to improve both energy efficiency and structural safety with respect to seismic activity. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses on the social role of the school as a civic building that can serve the needs of the community. Innovations in both design and construction processes are then analyzed, paying special attention to the Building Information Modeling (BIM) strategy as a tool for the integration of different disciplines. The final section is devoted to the built heritage and tools, technologies, and approaches for the upgrading of existing buildings so that they meet the newregulations on building performance. The book will be of interest to all who wish to learn about the latest insights into the challenges posed by, and the opportunities afforded by, a comprehensive school building and renovation program.
Massimiliano Bocciarelli is an Associate Professor at the Politecnico di Milano, where he lectures in Structural and Solid Mechanics at the School of Industrial Engineering and of Steel and Concrete Structures within the School of Architecture. He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano and then completed an MSc in Structural Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and a PhD in Structural Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano. His research interests have primarily focused on numerical methods for the modeling of the service and ultimate behavior of materials and structures with particular regard to the diagnosis of historical masonry structures. He is the author of more than 40 papers in international journals.
Laura Daglio, PhD, is a registered architect and an Associate Professor of Architectural Technology at the Politecnico di Milano (Department of Architecture, the Built Environment, and Construction Engineering), where she works on research issues concerning building and construction design, with a special interest in social housing, environmental design and sustainability in architecture for new construction as well as renovation. She is involved in research programs funded by ministries and public bodies at different levels and in international projects. She is the author of books, essays, articles in reviews, and acad
