Il MetadistrettoThe Veneto Cultural and Environmental Heritage Metadistrict is unique among Italian districts in that it is the only productive metadistrict focused on the field of cultural heritage.

The Metadistrict promotes and coordinates:•national and international projects•collaboration between companies and institutions•research activities •exchange of know how between the scientific world and private companies

Sustainable development“development that meets the needs of the present

without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”

(World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)

A few key points from the 3rd European Ministers Conference on Sustainable Housing (27th, 28th June 2002):

•Existing buildings must be made more sustainable… •Adapting existing buildings by bettering insulation would allow a reduction of CO2 emissions (and related energy costs) by 42-46%...•Renovation has several benefits compared to demolition and reconstruction, for example: •Conservation of the energy embodied in materials •Creation of a sense of pride and awareness in the community •Renovation is more complex than reconstruction , especially with regard to protected buildings…

ATTESS projectDrivingTechnology Transfersto better the Energetic and environmental performance of historical buildingsfollowing Sustainable construction criteria

KEY words:TECHNOLOGY

SUSTAINABILITY

ObjectivesUnderline the importance of maintaining historical memory in the search for environmental quality.

construct a methodological and operative information tool to support the work of Professionals, Companies and Institutions.

Incentivize the development of entrepreneurial activities following the logic of a Green Economy in the construction sector.

HOW to modify the historical built fabric to achieve energetic and environmental sustainability in accordance to varying degrees of constraint

Potentially generate a NEW economic sector

MethodsA new methodological approach:

to unite a conservationist approach and a unified and synergic vision of the historic building and its relationship to:the external environment (urban or natural)the internal environment (residents, functions, use)

RECOGNITION of buildings’ intrinsic qualities REVISION of the methods employed in renovation and requalification with the goal of achieving environmental sustainability

RE-EXAMINATION and RE-INTERPRETATION of Historic Buildings according to their ORIGINAL and FUNDAMENTAL energetic and environmental features

…a lot of key issues that characterize “sustainable building” have ALWAYS been the foundation of traditional construction.

The built fabric is CONTEXTUALIZED in a specific time and place:

BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE

SYNERGY AND INTERACTION between:EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

COHERENCE with:HISTORICAL contextGEOGRAPHY (topography)CULTURE

RESPECT and CONTINUITY in:Local forms of construction Traditional construction methods

Bioclimatic Architecture

Adapts to the SITE (climate, construction traditions)

TODAY…in contemporary practice this wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries is underrated and the consequences on the city and the urban fabric are clear to everyone …

The apparently infinite availability of resources (land, energy, and materials) has brought the SEMPLIFICATION and TRIVIALIZATION of design choices

IN SUMMARY:1. DEEP CULTURAL REFLECTION

2. KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIELD’S HISTORY – PROBLEMS– SOLUTIONS

1. EXTENSIVE STUDY OF THE OBJECT OF INTERVENTION AND ITS INTRINSIC FEATURES

2. ASSESSMENT OF THE TRUE NEEDS OF THE PROJECT

3. CAREFUL AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN OF THE NECESSARY PROJECT INTERVENTIONS

ATTESS Guidelines

5. CAREFUL AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN OF THE NECESSARY PROJECT INTERVENTIONS.

The guidelines developed in the ATTESS project therefore aim to be a tool for ASSESSMENT and support in design in order to address the key words mentioned earlier:
