An insight on potential drivers of the change -- Pioneer firms from the agri-food sector -- A toolkit to assess and mitigate the impacts -- Three mitigation scenarios for an Italian case study -- Conclusions.Economic constraints and lack of knowledge often prevent companies - especially small and medium enterprises - from harmonizing their facilities with the landscape. As a result, factories significantly impact the quality of our living environment, in terms of physical effects on the ecosystem, perceptual interferences with the surroundings, and disturbances on local communities. At both the design and maintenance stages, a set of appropriate tools can assist businesses in becoming more aware of their impacts and identifying possible mitigation strategies. The book presents an assessment tool and a library of inspiring design tactics for factories, with examples of the benefits and synergies for the environment, the scenery, the community, and the company itself. The purpose is to elicit more than a simple reflection about what a sustainable factory entails. It is rather to encourage and assist both businesses and designers in mitigating the impact of industrial facilities on the landscape as holistically as possible.Advances in Global Change Research,2215-1621 ;72Sustainable architectureLandscape architectureBuildingsDesign and constructionEntrepreneurshipNew business enterprisesSustainabilitySustainable Architecture/Green BuildingsLandscape ArchitectureBuilding Construction and DesignEntrepreneurshipSustainabilitySustainable architecture.Landscape architecture.BuildingsDesign and construction.Entrepreneurship.New business enterprises.Sustainability.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Landscape Architecture.Building Construction and Design.Entrepreneurship.Sustainability.690.54725.4Marchi Lia469050MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910547291303321Designing Sustainable Factories2783389UNINA
