Aura

Lamberti Design made the metal elements for this innovative project called AURA. The metals used range from stainless steel to galvanized iron. Various tubular profiles and solid and perforated metal sheets were used. All the products were then fire-painted with thermoset powders using various colors from the RAL chart. The processes carried out are mainly numerically controlled with a series of couplings produced by turning and milling, then assembled, welded and finishes by hand. Long planning and prototyping preceded the final production of the final prototypes. Below are the credits with the various professionals and companies involved in this challenging and innovative project.

AURA: Industrial research and experimental development project for the creation of a new generation of urban furniture called ‘Green & Smart Urban Furniture’

AURA is a research project, financed by the MISE Ministry of Economic Development “Intelligent Factory, Agrifood and Life Sciences” tender, aimed at the creation of street furniture systems that integrate their original function with that of monitoring and mitigating air pollution , thanks to the use of plant biofilters (Nature Based Solution), and intelligent ICT and IoT sensors (climate data, urban pollution data). The need to rethink urban spaces by focusing attention on citizens’ needs, rationalizing resources and making the provision of services more efficient, also through technological innovation, prefigures new scenarios that translate into the transformation of cities into “smart cities”. ” or in cities founded on environmental intelligence. The main mechanism underlying environmental intelligence is “sensitivity”, the ability to perceive exactly what is happening around and react accordingly, in a dynamic way.
