Adaptive Performance
Buildings and systems designed for changing conditions through flexible programs, adjustable envelopes, or more than one mode of use.
2023/2024
Palazzo del Lavoro
This connects to Adaptive Performance because a mixed program, separate entrances, terraced circulation, flexible work and event spaces, and distinguishable lightweight systems give the reused building capacity to support different public, academic, commercial, and cultural cycles over time.
2022
EGEA Headquarters
Adaptive logic appears in the balance between openness and control: public ground-floor functions, upper-level offices, shading, overhangs, a water boundary, and closable access moments.
2023
AlbergaBici
Adaptive performance appears through phasing and growth: the project is drawn as a system that can expand over time while keeping its route, service, and landscape logic intact.
2025-present
Climate Change
This connects to Adaptive Performance because climatic regions and heating-demand categories move over time, so buildings, regulations, and adaptation strategies need updated evidence instead of relying only on historical baselines.
2025-present
Urban Microclimate
This connects to Adaptive Performance because local weather differences change building loads, heat exposure, and suitable design responses, making adaptation dependent on the actual urban context.
2025–2026
Shading System
Seasonal and hourly fin positions let the system behave differently in summer and winter.
2025
Urban Generation
This connects to Adaptive Performance because participants used climate and simulation inputs to compare design scenarios and understand how changing urban conditions affect environmental and energy performance.
