Management of complex activities in historical heritage buildings: a digitized environment for H&S and fire safety in Palazzo Vecchio

This contribution is part of a wider research dealing with management of complex activities in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The goal of the research is to create a sartorial shell of building intervention and management strategies to reach both safety and comfort for occupants. The goal of this contribution is to describe the research framework and to give some first results with respect to fire safety engineering studies. Palazzo Vecchio is the town hall of Firenze and it is an ancient building, since its origins built to be the representative location of the political power of the town. Palazzo Vecchio hosts a lot of very important activities for the city and the goal of the public administration is to assure health and safety both to the workers and to the public visiting the building. Fire and Health and Safety requirements can be managed in such a complex framework only making use of innovative approaches preferably by using digitized design processes, in order to reach design objectives managing building constraints and design requirements within a Common Data Environment (CDE). Such study allow us to suggest some intervention on the building useful to reach the main objective (people safety). Future results and developments The first results obtained are related to FSE modelling of Salone dei Cinquecento and data gathering for the whole building.
