Abstract. This study deals with the redevelopment of buildings built in the last decades of the Nineteenth century, with a style that can be defined "post-modern". In those years, communication became an architectural theme superimposed and abstract by functional and structural needs, with "architectural elements" abstract in a hyperbolic way with respect to the function. The result of an architectural culture, interesting for the research they narrate but incongruous with functional needs, also because of the materials used, the energy and architectural requirements impose a review to combine functional performance, in nZEB projection, and structural with the need for "venustas", what is "done well", the same facet of the same architectural rationale. The need to renew these spaces must take into account the qualities of forms that, with their material decay and in the peculiar language, may not bring out the centrality of preserving and compositional choices of the work.

Previous Identification

Identifying defective design elements is a prerequisite for design improvements. Previous identification methods were implemented in the context of static customer requirements (CRs). However, CRs always evolve continuously, which easily leads to a failure of existing product functions in fulfilling customer expectations; this, in turn, can lead to a decline in customer satisfaction. In this study, the phenomenon is termed as ‘function obsolescence’, and a data-driven identification approach for obsolete functions is proposed for design improvements. Firstly, product operating data are employed to construct the observing parameters of functional performance (OPs), and based on the distribution of OPs, the desired level of functional performance (DL) is defined to quantitatively characterise CRs. Secondly, the time series of DL is constructed to embody the evolution of CRs, in which a Sigmoid-like function is employed to establish a dissatisfaction function. With the time series, an obsolescence index measuring the severity of obsolescence for each function is defined to identify obsolete functions. A case study was implemented on a smart phone to identify its obsolete functions to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results show that some potentially obsolete functions can be identified by the proposed method considering the evolution of CRs.

A transsexual's performance in the chosen gender role can be seen in the context of functional performance of life skills, and should thus potentially be improved with appropriate occupational therapy. A detailed case study is used to illustrate the application of occupational therapy assessment and treatment with one such person, a young male-to-female transsexual in the very early stages of the lengthy pre-surgery assessment phase.
