The themes of energy saving and sustainability head the list of all the policy statements on development, issued by governments throughout Europe and many other countries in the world.We are forever being called upon to change our lifestyle and our ideas of well-being that are causing an exaggerated and ever increasing waste of energy and resources, while the overall impact of the human species on natural systems continues to grow.Even the construction sector which apparently seems to have a secondary role, due to the fact that it "generates" production, consumption and services, but also because it is subject to other types of pollution, is in reality of central interest and, rightly, can be given a primary role.The most recent regulations invite us to "build in a sustainable way", re-appropriating the set of themes that have been forgotten for too long such as the direct relationship with the natural system on which we intervene. Recent legislation also encourages us to optimize material and technical-constructive characteristics relating to safety, to use passive systems in order to make buildings functional and to employ natural air conditioning.Safeguarding our country from all points of view is now a duty. Being aware of the risks is a necessary prerequisite to ensure the safety of the inhabitants of a territory. This awareness must be channeled into an individual and collective responsibility, and into the programming of strategies which will prove to be decisive for the community. Abitare la fragilità: strategie per la messa in sicurezza del patrimonio edilizio esistente I temi del risparmio energetico e della sostenibilità sono in testa a tutte le dichiarazioni programmatiche sullo sviluppo, emanate dai governi europei e di molti altri paesi del mondo.Siamo incessantemente richiamati a modificare il nostro stile di vita e i nostri modelli di benessere che stanno determinando un esagerato e crescente spreco di energia e di risorse, così come continua a crescere l'impatto complessivo della specie umana ...

The paper investigates urban and domestic living and how these have been modified by the new needs, concerns and fears connected to the most recent global pandemic. The contribution highlights how urban and domestic dimensions are key elements of our existence and resistance. The topic is articulated in a twofold dimension: - the urban scale of the city, which is continuing to function even during the emergency, allowing us to believe that the tools in our hands are capable of being used in a more flexible way, both from a political-based and a design-based perspective;- the domestic sphere, whose connotations make the house versatile and flexible in the context of the progress and technological advancement that is now happening in the community and for this reason the space must meet the requirements of adaptability to operate perfectly even as a workplace. Eventually, the contribution defines the requirements for a resistant living, and the tools that will enable us to design resistant urban and domestic space.
