Building design solutions for the sheep and goat breeding in the protected areas of Sicily

This study aims to propose building solutions suitable for sheep and goat breeding within the Park of the Nebrodis (situated in North-Eastern Sicily, the largest Italian island), or within protected areas having similar characteristics. A sample of farms was studied to understand the specific demands of breeding. The data collected supports a set of useful guidelines for the organizational schemes and metadesign proposals for specific building solutions with low environmental impact.
