Open repertoires for instructing ecological urban systems. Graphic tools and green transition by Maurizio Marco Bocconcino, Mariapaola Vozzola

“…The proposed topic is part of broader research started a few years ago that addresses the concepts of resilience, quality and well-being in cities; particular attention is now given to those ‘nature-based’ solutions that can be usefully adopted in the built environment to occupy land ecologically and to implement adaptation and capacity-building measures in cities. The use of information modelling is explored to set up an interactive training support environment for the project, which can be operated with multiple keys. …”
