CAVIAR‘s research projects always take into account the three axes of attention and focus on one or more thematic areas, depending on project type, degree of complexity and transversality, number of stakeholders, etc. To facilitate internal organisation, the projects are grouped into research lines. Currently, the active lines are as follows:
L1: Quality of Life, Health and Well-Being, Comfort, Human-Built Environment Interaction, Renaturalisation
L2: Sustainability, Climate Neutrality, Energy efficiency, Circular Economy, Life cycle, Industrialisation
L3: Regeneration and Urban Transitions: Mobility and Technologies for Enhancing Capacities, Urban Renewable Electricity
Axes of Attention
E1. People’s Quality of Life (safety, health, comfort, desire)
E2. Environment (ecosystemic, sustainable, renewable, suggestive)
E3. Advanced Management (efficient, relational, economic, transparent)
Thematic Areas
A1. Sustainable Construction, Energy Efficiency and Quality of Life in Architecture and Urban Planning
A2. Industrialised Construction Materials and Systems
A3. Urban Regeneration and Social Dialogue
A4. Urban Digitisation: Shared Autonomous Mobility and Technologies for Enhancing Capacities
A5. Update of the Theory of the Architectural Project
One of the main activities of the research group is the development of innovation and research projects at a regional, national and international levels. CAVIAR currently manages 13 regional projects, 1 national project, and 6 European projects.
