CAVIAR UPV/EHU‘s research projects always take into account the three axes of attention and focus on one or more thematic areas, depending on the type of project, degree of complexity and transversality, number of actors, etc. To facilitate internal organization, they are grouped into research lines. Currently, the active lines are as follow:
L1: Quality of Life, Health and well-being, Comfort, Human-built environment interaction, Renaturalization.
L2: Sustainability, Climate neutrality, Energy efficiency, Circular economy, Life cycle, Industrialization.
L3: Regeneration and Urban Transitions: mobility and technologies for increasing 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. Industrialized construction materials and systems.
A3. Urban regeneration and social dialogue.
A4. Urban digitization: shared autonomous mobility and technologies for increasing capacities.
A5. Update of the theory on the architectural project.
Among the main activities of the research group is the development of innovation and research projects on a regional, national and international scale. CAVIAR currently has 11 regional projects, 1 national project and 5 European projects.
