Progressing research, practice and education in landscape architecture through the adoption of digital tools and evidence-based design

Dynamic studies represent a disruptive approach in research and education, progressing evidence-based parametric design, and laying the bases for climate adaptive transformations. The integrated activities experimented, levering on the use of computational optimisation techniques, converge toward design solutions where outdoor comfort, indoor well-being and circular economy principles are negotiated, and whose expected multiple performances are documented. Informed projects propose holistic solutions aiming at improving microclimatic comfort, socio-ecological re-connection, energy efficiency, and overall sustainability of the interventions, within the dynamic ‘Smart City for Smart People’ framework.
