A Pilot Project for Community Supported Agriculture Polito 2019 Fall Atelier Urban Design Tutor: Francesca Frassoldati(francesca.frassoldati@polito.it ), Chiara Lucchini(chiara.lucchini@polito.it) Location: Turin, Italy Group work with Yingyue Li, Enxhi Hoxha, Tran Dong My Ling, Shuting Liu Responsibility in team: Architecture design(50%), Landscape design(100%) Drawings and modelling(70%), Essay writing and final presentation(100%) Related Essay, Extension with Big Data Please See Writing Sample The emergency of the bottom-up, self-organized community is gaining increasing impact on the discipline of urban planning in recent years. As individuals gather for shared interests, the demand for public space is increasing as well. Meanwhile, the pollution and limited urban space invokes citizens' desire for nature. In searching for a balance point for the negotiation between civic activities and yearning for nature, Community Supported Agriculture appears to be a suitable solution. In the specific case of Turin, a post-industrial development city, we are also searching for methods that take good advantage of the previous industrial buildings and transforming the brownfields. Moreover, due to Turin’s dense urban fabric, we need to find a type of urban agriculture that requires less land area, so as to increase its proximity with the consumers. With the addition of box planting and vertical farming we adapted urban agriculture to make a more suitable pilot project for Turin's situation. This project was developed not only to solve the problem of one site, but with the ambition to conceive a mode that could be adapted and spread for more brownfields in Turin. Later on it was experimented with another site in Turin, together with the application of big data technology to increase its accessibility. For more information regarding the proposition of the argument, the technology used on urban agriculture and the big data application please see the related essay in the writing sample.

SITE ANALYSIS
Our site is called Ex Diatto, located in a dense urban fabric near the city centre. More public spaces and shared greenery is desired by the local residents. The high aging rate and unemployment rate are noticeable. Fragmented Greenery
Isolated Public Facility
Scarce Public Spaces
Nearby Local Market Aging rate 108%-127%
Unemployment Rate 7.5%-9.8%
PROPOSAL | Urban Agriculture
Previously used as a car factory, now the site is abandoned as a brownfield, with the old structure still standing on site. In the post-industrial development, the emergence of bottom-up, self-organized communities puts forward the demand for more public spaces.
Unemployed people - work opportunity
Hence we propose a CommunitySupported Agriculture project, taking advantage of both the empty spaces and the structure of the old factory. Local market - increased proximity
Community gathering
Old people and children
URBAN AGRICULTURE |A Balance Point Between Human and Nature in Urban Space
The previous efficiency-oriented urbanization has resulted in limited and polluted urban space. Which invokes citizens' desire for nature back into cities. At this point, urban agriculture serves as a balance point that combines and mixes concerns for human-well being and need for nature.

02 Mining in the sky
A Mutual Supporting System in an Asteroid-Mining-Driven Space City 2020.08-09 LEAP competition held by UNI Tutor: Dan Liang(15000181281@163.com) Group work with Chen Zhang, Yuanjun Li Responsibility in team: Concept(90%), Digital Model(70%), Render(90%), Drawings and final presentation(50%), 3D printing(70%)
In the era of the 4th generation of space architects, we locate our space architecture in a greater scenario: not only to design one module, but take its future development of a space city into consideration as well. In addition, considering the specific requirement of this competition: a space habitat for asteroid mining activities, we approached our project by addressing the feature of this activity - efficiency and profit. To match the non-directional character of the space, we took the micro structure of the molecule as our reference. As we can say different types of asteroids are of different usage for humans to develop their space settlement, the mining method and consequent processing of these asteroids should be separated into specialized units: the construction units and the habitat units, connected by an arm to form a mutual supporting system. The growth of our space city is subjected to two main constraints: the maximization of interests of mining activity and the sustainability in space. To make more profits, the developer tends to build the units at the maximum density. Moreover, as long as the life of space miners can be sustained by one habitat unit, the developers will build as much as construction-mining units which are specialized in processing asteroids containing precious metals. However, in order to avoid over-proliferation that could lead to possible resource depletion in space, policies will constrain the numbers around one unit between zero and three. If the number exceeds the regulation, no new units will be constructed, thus ensuring enough space for each unit.

BACKGROUND| Ambition of the 4th generation of space architects History of Cosmos Architecture
The drawing composition of Malevich’s works already showed the interest in overcoming gravity and conquering the universe.
The exploration remains on the level of theoretical drawings. For example, the Rocket city has a parabolic shaped plan with a living zone, industrial zone and green zone distributed on the 2 sides.
G.A. Balashova emphasizes the h manization of the space, focusi on reasonable functional layout, spa distribution and color, light.

There are 3 main categories of asteroids: Carbonaceous, silicaceous and metallic.The C-type are the most common asteroids and contains plenty of water and life useful elements. The S type has tons of precious metals such as platinum and gold. The M type are mostly nickel and iron and it would be very valuable for building structures in space. Hence we divide them into 2 categories: the C type for life supporting and the S and M types for making profit.

03 Recalling Hadrian's Dream A Regeneration of the Original Sense of Villa Adriana 23/08/2019 - 05/09/2019 Piranesi Prix de Rome Workshop Tutor: Francesco Leoni(premio.piranesi@gmail.com) Location: Tivoli, Italy Groupwork with: Wenjun Feng, Si̇nan İlker, Yasemi̇n Güz, Ezgi̇ Beyen Responsibility in team: Architecture design(70%), Landscape design(100%) Drawings and modelling(100%), Final presentation(100%)
Identified as a Unesco world heritage since 1999, the Villa Adriana has been an object of study and visit for about a half millennium. There are 2 elements that make up the image of Villa Adriana: water and architecture. The water not only generates some key architectural episodes, but also the proximity with the Aniene River also is at the heart of choice for the location of the villa. Besides, the millennium that the Villa Adriana has experienced has given it many layers of historical stratification. However, the growing urban fabric around the villa had gradually cut off its connection with the Aniene river, undermining the original sense of the space.Hence the reconnection with water and its history layers are then the original inspiration of this design. The design is composed of 2 parts: 1) Inside the villa, 2 water pavilions are placed following its original positioning syntax. One is related to the bath architecture in Rome, resuming the function of bath as a public space. The other has a symbolic meaning, placed at the origin of the annual ring theme park, indicating the origin. 2) Inside the buffer zone between the archeological site and the Aniene River, the creation of a landscape arrangement is for its propagation and preservation. The 2 paths connecting the river and the site has 2 different themes: one is to regenerate the spectacle of water captured in architecture, while the other, beginning with a gallery of memory, was to narrative Harian's trip to the eastern world and the history of the villa.

Villa Adriana| History layering and Water Architecture
Construction In the 2nd Century AD[2], it was firstly used as the residence for Roman Emperor Hadrian.
Origin: The Aniene River The proximity with the Aniene river was at the heart of the choice of the site. Through the aqueducts, it supplies water for the pools, fountains and gardens in Villa Adriana.
Water is not only the original reason for the location of Villa Adriana, but also generates some key architectural episodes of the villa.[1] Water And Architecture

THE TWO NODES Thermal-Exhibition Pavilion The facade facing the Greek Theatre has a relatively transparent facade in the respect of the antiquity while the other facades are more solid made with aqua panels. A wood tourist path was designed for the tourists to have better accessibility of the heritage, completing the water architectural path. The choice of the thermal pavilion was out of the reason that a thermal was the original public bath.
"Annual Ring" Archive Conceived as the starting point as the annual ring, the node was the perfect place for the storage of the ancient documents of Villa Adriana. The first 3 steps are constructed through subtraction from the mountain body. In the last step, a transparent gallery was for the view of antiquity. A water pool was placed on top of the annual ring, signifying that the origin of the villa was the water.

A Transformation of Site's Weakness into Character Polito 2019 Spring Architecture Construction Studio Tutor: Claudio Rossi, Andrea Bocco(andrea.bocco@polito.it) Location: Milan Barrier, Turin, Italy Groupwork with: De Souza Ramalho Fernanda, Davide Ventura, Wanyi Xie Responsibility in team: Concept(25%), Physical model(25%), 3D Modelling(100%), Detail(100%), Final presentation(100%) The project is developed in an abandoned site positioned in a dead end in Barriera di Milano borough. This zone is mostly residential and marked by the presence of people from different nationalities. Due to the lack of sense of security and the limited indoor area, a strong character that could be observed on site is that most of the residents tend to cover their balconies with plastic covers for privacy and extra room function. However, this not only destroys the architectural appearance but also exacerbate the social separation in this area. Our intention is to transform the weakness of the site 'the balcony cover' into its strength, satisfying the need of the users through architectural design but also to encourage the communication between people from different nations. The covers are reinterpreted as "popped out boxes" that one can customize according to his need. In this way it becomes a window to display the diversity of the site and forms a distinct community identity. The remaining area of the site has been dedicated to the development of an open space that faces and embraces the building itself. Spaces are marked with the use of different levels. While the building is placed in a higher spot, the open space goes down through steps and slopes, leading to the central square. This central square meets, on the opposite perimeter wall, a ludic structure dedicated to the development of children activities. It is thought as a second façade facing the main building and completes the connection of the whole complex.
Deep acknowledgement to Fernanda and Davide. Thank you for giving me strength and enthusiasm to carry on when I lost all my confidence. This is the last project in my portfolio, but it was the restart of my journey in architecture.

The Covered Balconies Our site, called Barriera di Milano(Milan Barrier) is located in the peripheral area of the city with residents with different cultural backgrounds. In our site inspection we found that the most obvious character is that the residents tend to cover their balconies for various usage.

SUPPLEMENT | My drift from home to site
"The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the Bags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls…" ——
Italo Carvino
To me, the design should be the reflection of what the designers observe in the city. The design does not tell, but it reflects the designers' care for the surrounding, the people, and the architecture. It is through transforming the site into architectural language that the city holds on to its past and looks forward to a bright future.
