Technology transfer and advanced methodologies of building systems

The study examines the theoretical-methodological approaches (undertaken by the Technology Research & Development Office, in the Third Mission exercise) directed towards the practices of “technological substitution” and “typological re-configuration” of building systems. The methodological process involves incremental transformation techniques aimed at controlling and reducing complexity, supporting both Architectural Engineering Services and Systems Manufacturing Stakeholders. The thesis aims to provide an evaluation method to determine the technical, economic and time effectiveness of systemic evolution procedures, as well as potential transfer developments calibrated by the practices of Topology Optimisation and Advanced Manufacturing.
