A Validation Opportunity: Case-Studies Analysis and Outcomes on the Application of the Method on Real Buildings

By closing the current dissertation, this chapter presents the practical implications of taleah methodology and tools, through the opportunity of testing them on two concrete case studies: 1 + 1 house and n + 1 dome. The first one represents the vertically-up densification phenomenon, small-scaled on the widely spread one-family houses; the second one identifies the same phenomenon at an urban scale; two diversified applications of the Building Above strategy, realized through timber-based construction systems. As per Galileo Galilei’s words, sensata esperienza, necessaria dimostrazione represents the spirit and structure of the research method, and the importance to resort to the demonstration of deducted hypothesis, as based on the observation of real phenomena. Working with real buildings is fundamental, indeed, in order to understand the reliability of the set procedures, as tested on different scenarios.
