DIGITAL BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL SUSTAINABLE MODULES, IN FRAGILE CONTEXT. APPLICATION IN THE FRAGILE CONTEXT OF AEOLIAN ISLANDS

The historic sites are an additional value that forms a strategic resource for the society, so they must be adequately preserved and valorized. In order to consolidate the renovation building technologies, it is mandatory to develop knowledges in the field of innovation, to provide new facilities in the area, by realizing enlargement of the existent buildings, or imaging micro-architectures. To get this goal, it could be useful to provide a series of higher education activities addressed to who deal with it, such as university students and young freelancers, in the field of Architecture, Engineering, Construction sector (AEC). Recently, a research group formed in the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Catania have begun these kinds of actions. All events have assumed as open-air laboratory the Aeolian Islands, because of the interesting peculiarity of the local declination of the Mediterranean architecture. In particular, Filicudi has been chosen because has preserved the features of the local architecture, thanks to its isolation from the other islands. In the paper that will be presented, the authors develop a description of the mentioned activities and share some considerations about this topic, on the base of the acquired experiences.
