My master's thesis, developed in a group with Matteo Tagnocchetti and Elena Rado, synthesizes how my architectural and technical education can be integrated into a design team.
The thesis topic was chosen due to the collaboration with the sustainability department of C.F. Møller Architects which we got in touch with during one of the sustainability conferences I attended.
A high-rise CLT residential project in Aarhus has been used as a framework to research and implement a parametric tool for the Life Cycle Assessment. The aim was to study the effect of the early design choices on the environmental impact of the project.
The project aimed to create a building with nearly zero environmental impact through the implementation of the Life Cycle Assessment in the early design process.
The project also addressed some of the main issues that arise when working with exposed CLT: indoor comfort, fire safety, moisture protection and aesthetic quality have been thoroughly studied to achieve a good indoor design.
