The scenarios described by the issues related to the climate change, the energy consumption for environmental control and the anthropogenic impact on the ecosystem, encourage the research in the field of architectural technology to deepen the extent to which the contributions made to the technological innovation of the building organism by collateral and complementary scientific disciplines and methodologies of research and design can contribute to the definition of effective solutions to address the emerging challenges.
The research cluster, through the investigation and the experimentation of new approaches applied to the design process, inspired by biology, urban design for climate change through the use of digital technologies and biomimetic design [1] studies the relationship between architectural design and its effects on the environment.
The interdisciplinary relationships that are established in the multidimensional intersection between ecosystem, biosphere, anthroposphere and infosphere [2], highlighted by the research activities, guide the investigation both at the architectural scale and at the urban scale.
