Smart, Safe and Green System. A Resilient-Based Strategy for Sustainable Buildings and DIY Design

This paper - after an overview of the sector’s issues - aims to present Smart Safe and Green System, a working prototype for small and medium-sized buildings and industrial warehouses. It is an integrated and scalable green technological system, aimed at the energy adaptation of pre-existing façades, at the improvement of ambient air quality, at the aesthetic redesign of urban spaces, at the structural and thermal monitoring of buildings. What we intend to propose in this paper is an economically accessible and easy to implement project, which represents the synergy between methods, processes and tools of Design discipline and the most advanced research in the field of Smart Products, IoT and plant-based technologies, for the promotion of a Do-It-Yourself approach as well as a Transition Design as a guide for a resilience-based social change aimed at a more sustainable future.
