The present work originates from the identification of the concept of resilience and its application to the construction industry. The city, like us, must be able to show resilience in order to respond to the increasingly urgent challenges of our time, such as climate change and pollution, which increasingly expose it to new fragilities. From an analysis of the existing literature, two trends emerge that could prove to be salvific within such a transitional path. On the one hand, it is worth noting the remarkable strides that are being made in the area of additive manufacturing, especially with regard to 4D printing, an advanced version of 3D printing, differing from its predecessor in its capabilities, such as the shape memory effect, which allows objects made with these techniques to change their conformation depending on the stimuli they receive. Another innovative technology that is well suited to the evolving needs of the construction industry are the so-called kinetic facades, consisting of systems, mechanically operated, that can change the spatial conformation of a facade, to allow better exploitation of solar radiation at different times of the day. The aim of this work is to integrate the potential of these two technologies through the design of a facade component produced with 4D technologies that can change its conformation based on external temperatures, with the purpose of modulating the passage of solar radiation inside the building. The process of elaborating the component will then be defined, initially through the production of PLA printed samples, with different combinations of the main printing parameters, to verify the efficiency of the shape memory mechanism and the influence of these parameters. From the results obtained from the experimental phase, it will then be possible to define a mathematical model suitable for simulating the behaviour of the material in different conformations, to design the most functional form for the desired purpose.
