Abstract

In the field of construction, the use of "new" materials/technologies seems to be able to solve part of the problems about the limited resources, the sustainable growth of industrial productivity, the regenerable development of our Planet, the resilient solutions for our future. In fact, it is undeniable that the innovative materials/technological solutions represent the alternative and the continuous development for a sustainable modern society, as well as a potential key to contain costs and to ensure the flexibility of production. They are able to respond adequately to the environmental and human issues, as for example the harmful effects of the product during processing or the waste management. The current existing buildings are still not "compatible" with the radical and revolutionary demands of resilience for our near future (in terms of mitigation and adaptation). The building, the neighbourhood, the city ... will become something different. In this context, the basic research, the applied research and the technology transfer have to affect every aspect of the object "construction". The present paper explores the actual innovative materials and technology that can be "available" for a regenerative project of existing construction. In particular, it focuses on the real feasibility of them in terms of construction phases, physical and sustainable performances versus economic feasibility. Furthermore, it shows some their applications to the envelope in requalification projects at the scale of the building and the neighbourhood.
