Architectural Technology responds to the environmental crisis: participatory design in an emergency context

Within the framework of the research an d in novation strategy RIS3 “Sustainable Living” (POR-FSE, funded by the Veneto Region), for the improvement of the resilience and adaptation capacity of the Ven to territory to environmental crises and emergencies, the subject of the contribution returns the results of the participatory experimentation of the project H .E.L.P. Veneto ‘ High-efficiency Emergency Living Prototypes Veneto - Sustainable adaptive residences for temporary stay in environmental emergencies. The research concerns the design of a minimum flexible emergency living module, replicable on a large scale, multi-functional, sustainable, powered by off-grid systems and integrated into the built environment. The housing unit uses timber, a material linked to the local building tradition, whose prefabricated modular reversibility follow s principles of circular reuse.
