When you think of sustainability in all runs immediately thought to energy needs. Some people also think about other environmental issues. And stop here the most.
In reality the concept of sustainability and reduce it to very large and energy needs and environmental concerns is always reductive. The energy is certainly an important factor. The buildings must not consume more than necessary.
And according to present knowledge this need is reduced almost to zero. In construction it is about a factor of 10 reduction: You can consume 10 times less than the current building stock (Moving from 200 kWh / MQA’s national building stock to less than 20 kWh / MQA needed for a home designed with appropriate criteria) in conditions of service charge, if not better.
All with the materials and technologies also currently available only through better care and knowledge of the thermal issues. Much of the definition of this knowledge comes from central Europe and is calibrated on the temperature requirements of typical winter. In the latitude of the center-south Italy needs insulation esitivo are at least as important than winter.
What we are experiencing is therefore a transitional phase in which methods should be learned and Central Europe declined with requirements Mediterranean. Let me explain: when the problem is to keep the heat inside a room, everything we need to isolate it from the outside.When the problem is instead of keeping cool indoors, then the heat supply data from internal sources (people, lighting, appliances, plants) and from outside through the windows (sun) affect predominantly. The insulation in this case does not help us: in that it prevents heat to escape from the package.
The solution is well known and experienced historic buildings of all hot and very humid countries is to introduce the mass. The mass allows to stabilize the internal temperature of dampening the peaks data from the temporary presence of people and other thermal loads, and closer to the average values of the outside air. If we evaluate the values of monthly mean air temperature the more we realize that we can approach them, the greater the comfort of living and reduced or canceled will be the need for mechanical cooling.Of course, the environmental problem is much broader and related to many other factors, such as national vice president INBAR 1 – 2 National Institute of Bio-Architecture Moving from 200 kWh / MQA of the national building stock to less than 20 kWh / MQA needed for a home designed with appropriate criteria. For example, pollution and fine particles, the permeability of soil quality and quantity of waste and wastewater, water resources etc..
But what I want to emphasize is the message that we can not reduce preblema solutions to the sustainability of the technical facts.
It should be a rather radical change of mentality to understand that the question that our society must ask is not how much we save with insulation or PV, but what we do with those savings. Because if every time we get a saving per unit of output continue to increase overall consumption, in constant search of fuel, not traguardiamo the goal of sustainability. So sustainability is not something only technology, but something strictly dependent on the attitude and vision of man.
If human needs are not satisfied, if not satisfied with the quality research that allows us to a life fulfilled with the tangible and intangible assets that are given, always continue the quest for satisfaction that our consumer society wants and always lead to promises to fulfill.
So the only way that an area satisfies the needs of its inhabitants as it is in harmony with that place and in continuity with its history, reflected in the customs and thoughts of that community. The territory is one and continuous. This does not mean that you do not ssano bit and do not go to a cultural and historiographical identified temporal layers of a city, far from it.
Always the fabric of an area will be moved, growing up, going, rising and shrinking even in different directions, with progressive stratigraphic always fairly well identified: the Greek city, the Roman city, the medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, nineteenth century, and so on. But this identification of stratigraphic data in itself is something very different from the parameterisation of safeguard zones of urban contemporary art, where the protection is inside, outside is freedom. This perimeter is a completely abstract force that flows from our vision of the world Cartesian geometry, for which we decompose gradually to analyze the object of analysis in the sub-elements gradually more defined, gradually losing the vision of the whole and how it functions. This analytical approach allowed us tremendous progress over the centuries, has allowed us to outperform companies with millennial opposite setting and much more evolved than ours, like China, has enabled the advancement of science, particularly precisely in those matters where for the benefit of all scomposiziosassne subunits in more analytically definable. But the progressive blind faith in the Cartesian coordinate system and its application in all fields of study, it is this necessity that forced more and more we hear, to apply charges to the analytical evaluation of all matters of our lives, the belief that only the demonstration of analytical and then allows the demonstration of scientific truth, the very word “scientific”, itself a synonym for the more of truth and indisputable demonstration than through other and more scientific evidence, well, this world view, though well suited to the mechanical and ‘engineering, creates damage, and forced and twisted logic when it becomes the only canon in humanities subjects such as psychology, medicine, architecture and urbanism.

It ‘clear that the progress of surgery-data from this particular world view and breakdown of trust in the scientific-analytical-were formidable.

Droves of architects have devoted time to time with all their energies to one or another school of thought, and then intimately perceive the incongruity of what they were doing and lead to counter-movement characterized by the explosion of completely free , dell’avulso from the context, style dell’autoreferenzialismo Gehry. Obviously the architecture is not only and solely on technique: the architecture has to do with communication and must interact with people, and our perception of the world is organic-thus essentially non-analytic functions on the comprehensive plan of communication ‘architecture. Then the organic approach is homeopathy, which solves the problem is not looking only to its manifestation, but seeking out the origin intimate. And ‘what with little – nothing to that of the less-careful get a change of course invisible and newspapers acting on ganglia of an organism.If the goal of all our efforts is the machine housing, the home unique and perfect, our efforts will be useless and obviously rejected. From war we lost the geographical and historical context with, thanks to the technology available, more and more industrialized and versatile. The resources available have grown and the parameters with which to apply them have failed. We can produce structures with a much greater degree of freedom than once, but the result is worse. The reason for this is precisely the loss of reference. If we look at an old town, the beauty of the buildings is not the solution obtained and put on display by each designer, but in the harmony of all the buildings. It ‘just that sense of dialogue that has the force of an urban fabric that has been lost.
