Alzano Resilient Condominium
The project moves beyond the concept of restoration as merely a collection of isolated interventions on the building envelope. It represents an integrated design approach aimed at achieving the best possible outcome by combining energy efficiency, seismic upgrades, and the removal of architectural barriers through the strategic use of state incentives.
- Structural seismic improvement using innovative dissipative rods
- Comprehensive thermal efficiency upgrade in full compliance with current regulations.
- Functional adaptation for the complete removal of architectural barriers
Through a careful technical and economic balancing of every aspect of the work, the result is a building that meets all the requirements of current regulations regarding energy efficiency and accessibility.
From a structural standpoint, the project effectively addressed building safety by mitigating the risks associated with the "soft-story" mechanism—a common issue in older apartment buildings—through the targeted installation of dissipative braces.
This integrated approach enabled a comprehensive revitalization of the structure, without compromising aesthetics or long-term durability.
The "Resilient Condominium" now stands as a tangible model of how contemporary architecture and engineering can collaborate to restore safety, value, and inclusivity to our region's collective built heritage.
