Preservation engineering and climate change-adapted building design
Abstract: This talk explores how preservation engineering adapts current buildings to withstand more extreme weather, altered trends in temperature fluctuations and environmental stresses, while also guiding the design of new structures built to endure the increasing impact of climate change. Dr. Daniele Malomo鈥檚 research combines sustainable retrofit and repair methods for existing buildings with climate-adaptive principles in new designs. Through innovative engineering strategies and digital tools, this approach provides practical solutions for a resilient built environment that meets the demands of a changing climate.
Speaker biography:
Professor Malomo is the director of , a cutting-edge structural engineering research lab at 海角社区 working on earthquake engineering, old structures, climate change-adapted design, numerical and experimental simulations. Since 2021, he serves in the Board of Directors of the Canadian chapter of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), as well as an expert member of the International Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH). His work has recently been awarded by The Masonry Society (TMS), Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) and the International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE).
