T H E A U R E L I A N WA L L Rome v - 2015 with S. D’Abate
The Aurelian Wall is one of the most important ancient monument still standing, whose perception is obscured by an unresolved dialectic with the contemporary city. The study analyzes the urban dynamics during the intensive postunification expansion of the city. Their results, often drammatically disastrous, are now still visible, since unresolved spaces and deep scars prevent the perception of the wall as an urban space and an unitary monument. Thus, the main aim is to rethink the Wall, not as an ancient “background�, but as an architectonic occasion, that could re-shape lost and scattered fragments of the city. In the specific case the proposal focuses in the sector between S. Giovanni in Laterano and S. Croce in Gerusalemme where the Wall passes through complex parts of the city, that beyond their original characteristic of borders have now new significances. From connecting axis of the two basilicas to transport hub, this area will be one of the biggest transport interchange points of the city due the opening of the new metro line, and the entrance to one of the most suggestive monumental areas of Rome.

Tesseract is the cube that meets the fourth dimension. The first one is depth, the horizon, the vanishing point that joins the sea and the sky. The second is width, the coast, the distance between the city and the waves. The third one is height, the statue of the Madonna that rises andbecomes landmark, cubes that emerge from a heart of scaffold tubes that shine. The fourth one is time, it’s the night where voices meet and thoughts flows, it’s the simultaneity of many stories on different stages.

INTERNSHIP EMBT mi r al l e s - t ag l i ab ue Barcelona 1v 2013 - v111 2013
During my internship at EMBT I worked in the project of the new campus of Fudan University with teams’s project director Joan CallÏs. My job was to design part of the interior spaces and to adjust the exterior since the project was almost ready to go under construction. I took part especially in the definition of the spaces of the alumni centre, the banqueting hall and the theatre. In the studio I experienced the distinguished approach of EMBT towards architecture, the use of collage and images in the designing process.

The workshop was organized by Enric Miralles Foundation and the Architectural Association Interporfessional Studio [AAIS] of London, It is part of the cycle Flow Fields, whose aim is to stimulate its students, professionals from different disciplines, to develop language that goes beyond the borders between artistic areas. The resulting multi-sensory installation are prototypes, performative devices, pieces of urban furniture that allow an integration of public participants.

Space is not a neutral container. In our daily life we claim portions of it to carry out activities and the city is the container. The challenge of the contemporary is to understand and make your own those fragments of the city that are without identity. Taking back these spacecs is based on a dialectic between contemporary and temporary, between the wonder and the simplicity of the materials, between the city and the ephemeral. Thus, the leitmotiv of the proposal is the synergy between the reinterpretation of the historic context and the reuse of recyclable materials like pallets.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Rome v11 - 2012 finalist project IS ARCH awards 1st edition with M. Maletta M. Prete
The library is situated in Rome, in a reidual area, between the rationality of Testaccio’s urban fabric, the exslaughterhouse and the suggestive presence of Monte Testaccio, an ancient roman mound consisting of piled fragments of broken amphorae. The proposal tries to connect and link the various urban fabrics of the surrounding and to be the central landmark of the various functions of the neighbourhood. A dark shadow hides a covered piazza designed as an extension of the public space activated by a conference hall, exhibition gallery, bookshop, lounge area and coffe shop. While the public space and services are on the ground and lower floor the library is an introvert mass apparently floating above the piazza, cut in the middle by a court that creates suggestive perspectives and allows the users to see and peek what it is happening in the piazza.

SOCIAL HOUSING Rome v11 - 2011 project with G. Rutica
Non-place. “[But if one defines “place”] as relational, historical and concerned with identity, then a space which cannot be defined as relational, or historical, or concerned with identity will be a non-place. The hypothesis advanced here is that supermodernity produces non-places.” That is what happened in the district of Val Melaina, where among the big concrete buildings of the ‘70s there is a no man’s land, where there is no history nor city. The idea is to reconcile the relationship between the city and the rural landscape, two forgotten identities that meet in the peripheries of Rome. The complexity of the historical urban fabric with his distinguished public and collective spaces will be the common ground of a new sociality in the refound contemporary city.
