... defines a new infrastructural domain for continuous human protection in the built environment
​
CivilShield explores an emerging field of infrastructure that addresses continuous human exposure within the built environment. It establishes a preventive layer of protection integrated directly into the spaces where people live, work and reside.
An Emerging Infrastructure Domain
​
Infrastructure has always shaped civilisation.
CivilShield shapes its next evolution.

Interdisciplinary Foundation
​
Protection is no longer just a function. It is an infrastructural requirement.
​
CivilShield integrates multiple disciplines to analyse the protection and resilience of the built environment.
​
It considers the interaction between structure, architecture, environment and use, identifying vulnerabilities and developing solutions to strengthen the continuity of infrastructure.

Exploring a New Area of Infrastructure
​
Scope of the domain
-
Continuous environmental exposure in built environments
-
Structural integration of protection
-
Impact of the built environment on human health
​
Research focus
-
The evolution of buildings as protective systems
-
Integration of environmental protection layers
-
Long-term resilience
​
Strategic objective
-
To establish the built environment as an active infrastructure for the ongoing protection of people.
+Build and Patent Architecture
​
+Build acts as a key component within the CivilShield ecosystem.
CivilShield proposes the creation of a new layer of infrastructure dedicated to protecting people within the built environment.
​
Just as other forms of infrastructure underpin modern society, this new infrastructure aims to reduce the impact of invisible environmental threats in the spaces where we live.
New scientific framework

Well-being – Safety – Quality of life
CivilShield establishes a new scientific framework that brings together environmental research, engineering and architecture.
This framework enables us to explore how the built environment can evolve to better protect human health in the face of emerging environmental threats.
Partnerships and Research
CivilShield is open to collaborating with:
-
Universities
-
Research centres
-
Public institutions
-
European innovation programmes
​
The aim is to contribute to the scientific and technological development of solutions capable of improving the environmental quality of the spaces in which we live.
