Regeneration, resilience and metamorphosis of the building envelope: analysis of the high-rise and skyscraper types

The study contemplates the resilience characteristics of buildings with vertical development in the current context, according to the processes of “self-adjustment” and as a capacity for performance “re/production”, “absorption” and “reaction” towards the “perturbative pressures” caused by the incidence of degradation phenomena, obsolescence or accidental and catastrophic events. The analysis considers the “adaptive”, “selective” and “mediation” methodologies, acquired and expressed by vertical architectures, to metabolize and “mitigate” the stresses and conditions of physical, environmental and technical-economic stress, in a combined manner with the processes of innovation (design, executive and functional) and the “eco-efficient” use of energy resources.
