OPEN BUILDING: Open Building for Future Healthcare Environments

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

In recent years, many studies have revealed the increasing rate of hospital obsolescence. This fact is a reflection of the fast pace at which contemporary society and medicine evolve. Therefore, each part of the hospital should be designed to adapt to fast changes without having a big impact on the daily routine of patients and

E-AdaSt: Environment-driven Adaptive Structure

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Thermal, acoustic and lighting comforts are fundamental aspects in the design of sustainable or resource efficient buildings. The need for low-impact structures is compelling in a world dominated by power demand and threatened by energy shortage. In order to respond to this need, our work has focused on a performative, environment-responsive structure that exploits rigid

IntegraGreen: Integration of additive manufacturing and machining processes in view of green and sustainable development

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The Additive Manufacturing technology is one of the agents responsible for the 4th industrial revolution for at least three reasons. First, it offers the possibility to produce complex parts without the design constraints of traditional manufacturing routes. Second, scrap rates for AM parts are usually below 5%, compared to scrap rates of more than 90%

G-Neo Colloids: Development of novel guanidinoglycoside based nanoparticles and nanogels for an efficient delivery of unmodified therapeutics

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Main purpose of the project has been the synthesis of a new nanogel based on a PEG-PEI copolymer decorated with a modified guanidino-glycoside compound. This nanogel should then offer the possibility to embody an antitumoral drug which did not need to undergo any previous chemical modification. The great strength of this nanogel is its ability
