La rigenerazione per la resilienza - Il progetto di rigenerazione di un’“Ex-Clinica Universitaria” a Genova

The “theoretical and historical” concept of “sustainable development” is transforming in a “real and practical” idea of “exigence of resilience” for our next future. The world of research and of governances have to find potential solutions for the mitigation and adaptation at the climate changes on our Planet. The regenerative design for existing buildings is a potential "solution" in this contest. The finding a new "use" of an abandoned construction can give a contribute to increase the resilience of our European ancient cities. In this contribute we show the main sustainable aspects of the requalification project for the "ExClinica Universitaria" in Genoa. This project is a test not only in terms of design, but also for an important and indispensable collaboration through different actors: the university, the public authorities (Regione Liguria, Municipality of Genoa, State Property), the technical and architectonic designers. The objective is to consider together the social, public, economic and technical aspects to find real "resilient" solutions for the regeneration of constructions, districts and entire cities. This is the main actor of the present project. The main interesting data of the actual state of the "Ex-Clinica Universitaria" are: - Project area: almost 15000 m2 - Actual use of the building: disused - Past use: university chirurgical clinic - The envelope: to be refurbished - The plant systems: to be refurbished In our regenerative proposal we have to find solutions that consider together the social, public, economic and technical aspects to find real "resilient" answers for the different needs and actors involved in the project. In particular, we have to develop the following sections for the regenerative project: - new use for student residence - new security plan - new zoning plan for residence and services for student - new sustainable/regenerative design for: envelope, renewable energy system, conditioning system, electric system and lighting system. The project is ongoing
