Journal Article
Sibilla, M., & Kurul, E. (2020). Assessing a simplified procedure to reconcile distributed renewable and interactive energy systems and urban patterns. The case study of school buildings in Rome. Journal of Urban Design, 25(3), 328-349. https://doi.org/10.1080/13574809.2019.1638238

Distributed, Renewable and Interactive energy Systems (DRIs) are revolutionizing the concept of infrastructure by introducing a set of new properties. The implications of the new system properties in the realm of Urban Design are often neglected. Thi...

A method for the ecological use of vegetation in the built environment (2019)
Journal Article
Sibilla, M., & Barbati, A. (2019). A method for the ecological use of vegetation in the built environment. Sustainable Mediterranean Construction, 2019(N9), 79-85

Urban reforestation is recognised as a valid strategy to counter the loss of functionalities of the ecosystem services in an urban context, where vegetation has the dual role of environmental and landscape qualitative indicator. Ecological studies ha... Read More about A method for the ecological use of vegetation in the built environment.
