The latter term is used to indicate that building materials guarantee good radio-signal penetration (in the range of frequencies of interest for commonly used wireless standards) and good reflection behavior indoors, thus enabling the use of innovative RF-based non-invasive human-monitoring systems that take advantage of RF-scattering-rich environments. The need for connectivity is becoming, more and more, a key inhabitant requirement. Nevertheless, so far, there are no examples of architectural designs that take into account the need for connectivity at the beginning of the design stage. As a consequence, once the house and the building material have been designed, then providing high-quality wireless connectivity services might become challenging. Therefore, the paper presents the design of a novel “house-concept” for vulnerable social groups that is made of a...

These landscapes show different features according to the geographical area that cities belong to, though some common factors can be identified: land consumption, indifference to the peculiarities of the context, homogeneity of activities and building typologies, mobility needs exasperatedly delegated to private cars. Tema is the journal of the Land use, Mobility and Environment Laboratory of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning of the University Federico II of Naples. The journal offers papers with a unified approach to planning and mobility. TeMA Journal has also received theSparc Europe Seal of Open Access Journals released by Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition SPARC Europe) and the Directory of Open Access Journals DOAJ) Vol.5 n.
