Abstract

As part of the strengthening of the Italian research infrastructure included in the National Resistance and Resilience Plan, a financing proposal was presented for the recovery of an ancient 19th century building located in the park of the Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte INAF, allocating it to host INAF's first Concurrent Design Facility and the first in southern Italy. A Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) is the set of infrastructures, devices and processes that allows engineering teams with people from different backgrounds to work together, at the same time, on all the aspects of the design. This coordinated effort helps to achieve complex design definition more easily and quickly, through an engineering management protocol, compared to a “step-by-step” approach, which is the traditional method where each team works individually with only little direct interaction with each other. Concurrent engineering is extremely efficient in terms of time and effort, especially for feasibility studies and preliminary design. This article describes the project presented and the expected functionality of the new CDF, both from a technological and architectural recovery point of view.
