Tiburtino III

Tiburtino III explores how existing residential buildings can be improved without losing their original structure. Developed within the Environmental Technological Design Studio at Sapienza University of Rome, the project focuses on sustainable renovation through climate analysis, passive design, and energy-efficient systems. The work includes site, weather, solar radiation, wind, and shadow studies to understand how the building responds to its environment. The proposal improves the building through greenery, balconies, ventilation strategies, radiant floor systems, and photovoltaic panels. These elements are not only technical additions. They are used to create healthier homes, better thermal comfort, cleaner air, and lower energy demand. At its core, Tiburtino III is about giving new life to existing housing. It shows how environmental design can make everyday living more comfortable, resilient, and sustainable.
