ABSTRACT

Si dettaglia l'evoluzione del prototipo IDEAs (Intelligent Domestic Ecosystem for an Ageing Society) quale modello abitativo integrato da un sistema finalizzato al monitoraggio e supporto delle attivita di vita quotidiane dell'anziano fragile. Dal punto di vista trans-scalare, appare utile ridefinire la smart city in chiave cittadino-centrica: «una citta si puo definire smart quando gli investimenti nel capitale umano e sociale, nelle infrastrutture di collegamento e informatiche alimentano uno sviluppo economico sostenibile che preveda un'alta quality della vita e una gestione oculata delle risorse, all'interno di processi decisionali partecipativi» (Magaro et al., 2020). Le smart homes implicano YInternet of Things (IoT), espressione attribuita a Kevin Ashton del Massachusetts Institute of Technology: alla fine degli anni Novanta, egli sosteneva che una nuova generazione di computer avrebbe utilizzato le reti per lo scambio di informazioni tra le cose (Ashton, 2009). La smart home si caratterizza per la presenza di reti multilivello (Fig. 2) (Marcelino et al., 2018): - BAN, (Body Area Network), attraverso la quale una serie di sensori scambiano dati;- HAN, (Home Area Network) che supporta l'IoT;- WAN, (Wide Area Network) e la rete di prossimita tra l'abitazione, il vicinato e sistema sanitario nazionale. Il prototipo prendera il nome di IDEAs (Intelligent Domestic Ecosystem for an Ageing Society).

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the results of a three-year research project aimed at addressing the issue of water shortage and retention/collection in drought-affected rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. The project consisted in the design, construction, and the upgrade of existing barrages near Kita, the regional capital of Kayes in Mali. The effort was led by the Department of Architecture of Roma Tre University in partnership with the Onlus Gente d’Africa (who handled the on-the-ground logistics), the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence and the École Supérieure d’Ingénierie, d’Architecture et d’Urbanisme of Bamako, Mali. The practical realization of the project was made possible by Romagna Acque Società delle Fonti Ltd., a water utility supplying drinking water in the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) that provided the financing as well as the operational contribution of AES Architettura Emergenza Sviluppo, a nonprofit association operating in the depressed areas of the world. The completion of the research project resulted in the replenishment of reservoirs and renewed presence of water in the subsoil of the surrounding areas. Several economic activities such as fishing and rice cultivation have spawned from the availability of water. The monitoring of these results is still ongoing;however, it is already possible to assess some critical issues highlighted, especially with the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic in the research areas.
