In architecture, urban culture inheritance plays a nontrivial role in the urban renovation of a city. The existing design workflow for architects is laborious from the research phase to the final plans, and yet the results are subjective, especially when …
The relationship between renovation, system engineering and environmental physics is at present not as developed as the one between renovation and full accessibility needs, that is the elimination of architectural barriers, or better still between renovation and structural consolidation works. …
Brandengen Primary School in Norway has historical valuable buildings from 1914, designed by the famous Norwegian architect Arnstein Arneberg. The owner, Drammen Municipality, emphasizes renovation in accordance with the conservation authorities’ request for restoring the façades to be as close …
Building Information Modelling, new paradigm of digital design and management, shows great potential for the refurbishment process, as it represents a possible way out of criticalities that occur in documentation and preservation of existing assets, if connected to cognitive automation. …
The Swedish research project Potential and Policies for Energy Efficiency in Swedish Historic Buildings aims to investigate the interdependency between political energy targets and effects on the built heritage. The first part of this paper presents an iterative and interactive …
