Abstract
This paper shows an innovative and almost “unique” Test Laboratory in the world, built at Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria: TCLab of Building Future Lab with standardized and experimental tests on the envelope in its technological and material assets. The reasons are to test new performance of envelopes linked to the environmental variables of the contexts. The laboratory is designed as a continuous updating of the instrumentation to carry out activities related to innovation trends that create an intelligent, adaptive and integrated facades/building[1]. Production is moving towards advanced innovation that makes the envelope as result of a better modelling, testing and customization.Hence the importance of experimentation of adaptive envelopes in response to stress phenomena, increasingly present in the urban environment through innovative methods. We also intend to present as results some experiments and contents of the Horizon 2020 MetaBuildings Lab project.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
