ABSTRACT
The research illustrated in this paper aims to elaborate a method to identify, through algorithmic procedures, peri-urban areas in fragile contexts that have the correct characteristics to host temporary housing in case of both natural and anthropic disasters. These procedures are used in computer ecosystems dedicated explicitly to three-dimensional representation. The search for the areas themselves is guided and automated through optimisation algorithms that allow multiple variables to be considered and processed in the following definition of a wide range of results. The reduced timeframe for the design and realisation of these structures naturally leads towards the application of BIM methods for building definition. The case study to which the methodology mentioned earlier is applied is the area surrounding the historic centre of L’Aquila, a city hit in 2009 by seismic events that destroyed large portions of the territory.
