Objective of the study is to analyze the potential of an innovative construction process and verify its applicability through the development of an architectural project in accordance with the principles of product and process sustainability, bioclimatic, economic efficiency and optimization of construction costs and dry-assembly. In particular, the research focused on the development of a methodology of computational analysis through the use of variational- parametric software, in order to aid to the designer in developing optimized solutions according to the criteria and requirements set by the construction process.
