Multicare

Multi-hazard low-carbon resilient technologies and multi-scale digital services for a future-proof, sustainable & user-centred built environment.

The Essence of MULTICARE

In a world where innovation meets sustainability, enter the realm of MULTICARE – a visionary project set to revolutionize the resilience of our existing buildings. Imagine a future where structures aren’t just bricks and mortar; they’re dynamic ecosystems equipped to navigate any challenge, all while being cost-effective, timely, and environmentally sustainable.

Plug & Play Marvels

MULTICARE is not just a project; it’s a promise of seamless resilience. Picture this: cutting-edge, plug & play low-carbon technologies that transform the way we fortify our buildings. These are not just solutions; they’re a testament to how simplicity and effectiveness can coexist to create a resilient architectural landscape.

Mastering Multi-Hazards

In a world of uncertainties, MULTICARE stands tall, addressing a spectrum of hazards. From earthquakes that shake the ground beneath us to floods that challenge our foundations and heat waves that push our structures to the limit – our strategy is all-encompassing. It’s about ensuring our buildings are ready for whatever nature throws their way.

Thinking Big, Thinking Small

MULTICARE thinks beyond the traditional. It’s not just about fixing problems; it’s about reimagining the entire building process. From the smallest material to the grandest urban landscape, our multi-scale approach ensures a holistic transformation of the building sector, one component at a time.

A Holistic Approach

Resilience goes beyond the technical. The MULTICARE strategy spans multiple domains – technical, social, economic, and environmental. It’s about crafting solutions that don’t just work technically but also make sense socially and economically, all while minimizing our impact on the environment.

Resilience Across Phases

True resilience doesn’t stop; it evolves. The MULTICARE strategy is designed to enhance multi-phase resilience. It takes our buildings from their initial state through the challenging degraded phase post-disaster and guides them into a robust recovery phase.

Join the Movement

MULTICARE isn’t just a project; it’s a movement toward a future where our buildings stand resilient against any challenge. It’s an invitation to be part of a transformative journey, to witness the birth of buildings that aren’t just structures but resilient ecosystems ready for whatever tomorrow brings.

MULTICARE aims at boosting the creation of a resilient Europe by providing adaptation technological solutions (with a focus on residential buildings and social housing), and integrated approaches and tools necessary for assessing, improving and responding to future climate threats. In particular, MULTICARE will provide multi-layer modules, consisting of low-carbon modular components with standardized plug & play connections, to upgrade the resilience of buildings against multiple hazards, simultaneously contributing to sustainable development and improved quality of life. 

The proposed solutions allow for efficient (de)-construction, significant cost and time savings and resilient supply chains adapted to local scenarios. The technologies are scalable and customized to either new or existing buildings across Europe. Novel decision-support frameworks and a suite of digital services will also be developed to facilitate the whole-life cycle multi-hazard resilience assessment, design and management across multiple scales (material-to-urban). A resilient & sustainable based approach will be adopted to support design decisions and to improve real-time control, simulation and operation of buildings and urban areas.
