RIUTILIZZO ADATTIVO SOSTENIBILE DELLA FABBRICA DI CERAMICA SMALTATA HUAFENG A SHANGHAI Come Utilizzare il Performance-Based Design per Conseguire lEfficienza Energetica. Il concetto di sostenibilità è stato ampiamente definito e interpretato in diversi ambiti. In questa ricerca le questioni economiche, sociali e ambientali vengono legate al processo di adattamento degli edifici. Molteplici soni i fattori che influenzano il processo decisionale, e anche la gamma delle possibili tecniche di ristrutturazione è ampia. La sfida è quindi capire in quali circostanze conviene intraprendere un'opera di adattamento edilizio perché esso rappresenta la migliore possibilità di ottenere un risultato di successo e completamente sostenibile. In particolare, il riuso adattivo sostenibile dovrebbe essere considerato un'arma per affrontare l'obsolescenza e labbandono degli edifici industriali all'interno del tessuto urbano di Shanghai. È risaputo che la città e l'intero territorio cinese sono affetti da problemi ambientali causati dallalti tasso dinquinamento. Inoltre, negli ultimi decenni, Shanghai si trova a dover affrontare due nuove questioni riguardanti il riconoscimento e la tutela dei valori culturali e storici legati ad alcuni edifici e il crescente numero di siti industriali dismessi, soprattutto lungo i fiumi Huangpu e Suzhou. La combinazione di tutti questi fattori rende la città di Shanghai un terreno fertile per la sperimentazione di nuove pratiche nel campo delladattamento sostenibile. Il sito del progetto si trova nel distretto di Jingan al 610 di Hengfeng Road, vicino alla Shanghai Railway Station e lungo il fiume Suzhou. Il sito originale era la Shanghai Huafeng Enamel Factory (Fabbrica di Ceramica Smaltata Huafeng a Shanghai), rimasta aperta fino alla fine degli anni '90. Dal 2001 è stato intrapreso un piano di sviluppo della zona lungo il fiume e ora la maggior parte degli edifici circostanti sono stati trasformati in Industrie Creative. Lo scopo è quello di trovare un'integrazione equilibrata tra arte e scienza all'interno del progetto, mantenendo i punti di forza degli edifici e massimizzando la loro efficienza energetica. Il concept progettuale viene sviluppato studiando il contesto storico, culturale e ambientale in cui si trova l'immobile. Inoltre, vengono calcolati dati quantitativi relativi all'intensità energetica consumata dell'edificio e alle sue prestazioni d'illuminazione diurna, per ottenere un soddisfacente comfort ambientale interno, riducendo al minimo l'utilizzo di dispositivi che forniscono energia. In questo modo si riducono anche i costi operativi futuri. Fondamentale in questa fase è l'utilizzo del Performance-Based Design Software Sefaira. Questo programma fornisce feedback in tempo reale sulle prestazioni delledificio, per capire come ogni decisione progettuale influenza il consumo energetico e lilluminazione naturale diurna. Questo processo aiuta a prendere decisioni iterative e informate fin dalle prime fasi della progettazione per indirizzare e migliorare continuamente il risultato finale. Successivamente, le valutazioni quantitative sulle prestazioni vengono implementate con caratteristiche qualitative per soddisfare anche i canoni del gusto e la facilità d'uso, e per rendere gli edifici adattati ancora più attraenti nel mercato immobiliare.

Abstract
The concept of sustainability has been broadly defined and interpreted in different fields. In this research the economic, social and environmental issues will be related to building adaptation process. Many factors are affecting the decision-making, and even the possible range of adaptation techniques is wide. The challenge is to understand in which circumstances it should be convenient to undertake building adaptation because it represents the best chance to gain a complete and successful sustainable result. Specifically, sustainable adaptive reuse should be considered as a weapon to fight against industrial buildings obsolescence and vacancy within Shanghais urban fabric. It is well known that the city and the whole Chinese territory are affected by an environmental problem related to high pollution rates. Moreover, in the last decades, Shanghai is facing two new issues concerning the recognition and preservation of its buildings cultural and historical values and the increasing amount of abandoned industrial sites, especially along the Huangpu and Suzhou Rivers. The combination of all these factors makes the city of Shanghai a breeding ground to experience new practices in therm of sustainable adaptation. The project site is located at 610 Hengfeng Road, Jingan District, close to the Shanghai Railway Station and along the Suzhou River. The original site was the Shanghai Huafeng Enamel Factory, opened until the end of the 1990s.
