TECHNOLOGICAL DIMENSION IN THE PROCESSES OF HABITAT TRANSFORMATION: THE CONSCIOUS APPROACH Abstract Today, the issue on how technique influences the development process of the architectonic work is certainly an open issue. The interferences from external actors into the building process and the request of specialist competences imposed from new spatial needs and from environmental critical aspects determine a demand of high-performance solutions, in order to resolve more and more articulate problems. If the interest of a design sustainable practice is aimed to the aspects of “making the architecture”, in a correct balance between forms and implementation modalities, we must work to overcome the purely technical aspects of the building process, trying to develop a technological-based culture – for designers and users – that allows the re-appropriation of relationships between architectural works and its phases of construction and utilization. It is therefore necessary that the experimental and educational procedures for housing intervention are focused on conscious and responsible design principles. Starting from a vision of the building system as a connection place with contextual resources, these principles will have to address the project through a new interpretation and reconsideration of environmental components, in search of different and progressive levels of synthesis and design coherence. This contribution is intended to investigate four thematic aspects of this cultural position: 1. The ethical issue in the sustainable transformation process of the built-environment and the evolutions of sustainability concept; 2. Improving the energy efficiency of buildings in the recovery interventions of the existing building of social housing; 3. The building replacement such as opportunity for urban-social regeneration and such as solution to new contemporary housing needs.

Abstract
TECHNOLOGICAL DIMENSION IN THE PROCESSES OF HABITAT TRANSFORMATION: THE CONSCIOUS APPROACH Abstract Today, the issue on how technique influences the development process of the architectonic work is certainly an open issue. The interferences from external actors into the building process and the request of specialist competences imposed from new spatial needs and from environmental critical aspects determine a demand of high-performance solutions, in order to resolve more and more articulate problems. If the interest of a design sustainable practice is aimed to the aspects of “making the architecture”, in a correct balance between forms and implementation modalities, we must work to overcome the purely technical aspects of the building process, trying to develop a technological-based culture – for designers and users – that allows the re-appropriation of relationships between architectural works and its phases of construction and utilization. It is therefore necessary that the experimental and educational procedures for housing intervention are focused on conscious and responsible design principles. Starting from a vision of the building system as a connection place with contextual resources, these principles will have to address the project through a new interpretation and reconsideration of environmental components, in search of different and progressive levels of synthesis and design coherence. This contribution is intended to investigate four thematic aspects of this cultural position: 1. The ethical issue in the sustainable transformation process of the built-environment and the evolutions of sustainability concept; 2. Improving the energy efficiency of buildings in the recovery interventions of the existing building of social housing; 3. The building replacement such as opportunity for urban-social regeneration and such as solution to new contemporary housing needs.
