MULTICARE Project

Project MULTICARE is a visionary initiative aimed at revolutionizing the resilience of existing buildings. In this project, buildings are conceived not merely as bricks and mortar, but as dynamic ecosystems capable of meeting any challenge. The goal is to achieve this in a cost-effective, timely, and environmentally sustainable manner.

The project also addresses the impact of climate change on structures, including earthquakes, floods that challenge foundations, and heat waves that stress building capacities.

Resilience in the MULTICARE project encompasses technical, social, economic, and environmental dimensions. It aims to develop solutions that are not only technically robust but also socially and economically viable, with minimal environmental impact.

The project focuses on three main solutions:

1. The digital solution:

Developing digital platforms and services to enhance multi-hazard resilience assessment and design.
Implementing interoperable digital solutions for real-time monitoring, well-being improvement, and resilience management.
Establishing a decision support framework to quantify multi-hazard resilience of buildings and potential losses from extreme events.

2. The physical solution:

Designing resilient, low-carbon solutions capable of addressing various contextual hazards and building needs.
Providing multifunctional low-carbon modules (facades, structure, foundation) to enhance resilience and climate adaptability sustainably.

3. The integrated solution:
