This open access book presents theoretical and practical research
relating to the vast, publicly financed program for the
construction of new schools and the reorganization of existing
educational buildings in Italy. This transformative process aims to
give old buildings a fresh identity, to ensure that facilities are
compliant with the new educational and teaching models, and to
improve both energy efficiency and structural safety with respect
to seismic activity. The book is divided into three sections, the
first of which focuses on the social role of the school as a civic
building that can serve the needs of the community. Innovations in
both design and construction processes are then analyzed, paying
special attention to the Building Information Modeling (BIM)
strategy as a tool for the integration of different disciplines.
The final section is devoted to the built heritage and tools,
technologies, and approaches for the upgrading of existing
buildings so that they meet the new regulations on building
performance. The book will be of interest to all who wish to learn
about the latest insights into the challenges posed by, and the
opportunities afforded by, a comprehensive school building and
renovation program.
