The renewable enrgies image in the built environment/L'immagine delle energie rinnovabili nell'ambiente costruito. Final report from ENERWOOD Project/Report finale Progetto ENERWOOD

In the light of contemporary environmental emergencies, the technological component is nowadays assuming a conflictual relationship with the landscape project remodelling. In view of the hypothesis of developing energetic policies based on the spreading of new technologies for the production from renewable sources, the new - and anything appears far from the idea of unmovable and unchangeable - is often rejected. It is evident a loss of confidence in the capacity to sustain contemporary and future generations:such capacity can be guaranteed by the landscape system only by means of technological innovation. This cultural position risks preventing any realization of policies for local communities sustainable development, as well as it often causes an inexorable moving towards nostalgic forms of territory use, apparently respecting it but as a matter of fact unsustainable from an energetic, economical and social point of view. In such direction, the Research Unit of the Chieti-Pescara D'Annunzio Faculty has worked in order to detect those possible operating scenarios aiming at promoting adequate cultural and projectual innovation for the development of a built environment image based on the integration of new technologies for production from renewable sources.
