ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS. THE UFA FABRIK CASE

In the environmental design for climate adaptation, the contribution of vegetation against climate change becomes a field of research in which to experiment and innovate. The use of NBS- nature-based solutions into adaptation is crucial to improve the resilience of urban contexts at risk, including the processes of nature in the transformations of the built environment. In this field, the mitteleuropean experiences have led to important advances in design and research. That’s Ufa Fabrik case, a film factory in Berlinwhich tests “technological green solutions” on buildings combined with sustainable and selfsufficient energy production systems, with a holistic and integrated approach. The contribution, as short communication, investigates the Berlin case with an analyticaldeductive methodology, linking strategies, adaptive actions and related NBS technological solutions applied to Ufa Fabrik and describes the case according to a systemic, procedural and performative approach. Contribution’s objectives and purposes focus on the knowledge transfer derived from the case as best practice. The expected results concern the transferability of such strategies, actions and adaptive solutions in a Mediterranean climate context.
