Abstract

The paper outlines a didactic project undertaken at Campus Terracini (University of Bolonia Italy) thanks to local staff members and with the support of researchers from ENEA agency, Italy and professors of Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. The activity tries to To make sustainability transitions happen, considering that it is crucial not only to have a strategic planning processes committed by the top management, but also to encourage community engagement, approaching and promoting a bottom-up process. For this reason the project is concerning the layout of a small pavilion, head quarter of Transition Team (a multifunction group involved in sustainability plan of Unibo). To meet environmental performances, the space is planned with the use of appropriate building technologies, employing low impact and local materials. In addition, the space is realized in auto-construction, in order to strengthen the involvement of final users, the students. This paper will show an evaluation of appropriate building technologies with an LCA approach, combined with flipped classroom didactic methodology.
