abu dhabi – firenze

Si terrà nei giorni 15 e 16 marzo una mostra in Abu Dhabi presso la Facoltà di Architettura ed Ingegneria di Alhosn. Verranno esposti  elaborati di  tesi di laurea in architettura aventi per tema la progettazione sostenibile per il Medioriente. La mostra delle tesi, realizzate presso l’Università di Firenze e l’Università di Alhosn, rappresenta un primo passo significativo per prossimi  interessanti sviluppi. In futuro, verranno organizzate  attività di ricerca e didattica congiunte, applicate al design innovativo e di controllo energetico. Inoltre, all’interno della mostra i visitatori potranno interagire con modelli tridimensionali navigabili in realtà aumentata.

La giornata inaugurale verrà introdotta da una conferenza sui nuovi temi emergenti dell’architettura sostenibile nel Medioriente con la partecipazione di:

Dubbed as the next industrial revolution, nanotechnology has become indispensable for a variety of industrial processes and manufactured goods,which range from sports equipment electronics,automative and home / garden products, to serious  applications in the construction industry. Nanotechonology is also rapidly penetrating the medical field with high hopes foe new vaccines,medical devices and cures for chronic and dangerous diseases.This lecture,however, focuses entirely on the applications of nanotechnology in the building industry. Nanotechnology holds a promise and creates great opportunities for advancing sustainable design,construction systems, and building materials.The world demand for improved building performance and energy efficiency has brought nanotechnology to varoius construction applications such as coating, road pavement,cement and concrete products as well as high-strength, light weight reinforcing composites.The lecture alludes to the environmental implications of using nanobased building materilas and examines the current technological of commercial challenges that hinder the wide-spread application of nano-based materials and systems in the building industry.
