Renovation project for the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame RER C line station in Paris

Project achieved, within AREP

The Saint-Michel Notre-Dame station, in the heart of the city of Paris, is located in an area listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Built at the end of the 19th century, the station is the result of a series of modifications and extensions implemented over more than a century.

The complex morphology, initially designed for less frequentation compared to today, poses problems of lack of accessibility, difficulties of mobility flow in passenger routes, as well as a rate of indoor air pollution important. Attention is paid to resolving these problems, and also to highlighting the original architectural works, using local natural materials and ensuring control of the project’s carbon footprint. Given the proximity of the station to the Seine, the use of anti-flood safety equipment (reinforced windows and removable cofferdams) was an important subject in the evolution of the project.

Project of the new “Grand Paris Express” Interconnection station in Issy-les-Moulineaux (France) Project in construction, within AREP

The new Issy-les-Moulineaux Interconnection station is part of the redevelopment of the Léon Blum district with the construction, in the surrounding area, of the future Line 15 station of the Grand Paris Express. Made up of two passenger halls, the new SNCF Interconnection station (French train and railway company) integrates the existing preserved viaduct over which the

railway passes. The station project was entirely designed in Revit. The architectural synthesis work between the different models and the design of the technical details were particularly significant for the design of the project.

Project of a production, storage and office building in Châteaudun (France)

Project in construction, within Groupe Elcimai

The project arises from the client’s need to develop its activity with the creation of a new production buil ding.

The building has an area of 35,000 m² and is made up of a production part and an office-social premises part. In the context of the design of industrial buildings, the regulations are very precise and strict. For this reason, the architecture of the pro duction part is sober and functional: reinforced concrete structure, san dwich panel facades.

Apart from the concrete floor, everything was made in the work shop and assembled on site. In the office part, the supporting structure is made up of wooden posts and beams.

The project also focused on the use of recycled materials and the use of heat recovery methods from indu strial processes for the comfort of office users.

The building was entirely designed in Revit, even the companies involved in defining the project (civil engine ers, energy specialists, etc.) commit ted to using BIM software.

Renovation project “Carré Michelet” in Puteaux - La Défense (Paris)

Project achieved, within Cro&Co Architecture

Located in La Défense, the financial district of Paris, the “Carré Michelet” has good visibility from the Boulevard Circulaire Sud and the “Esplanade de la Défense” (central pedestrian platform). The building is part of a set of three buildings built in 1986 with heterogeneous and complex geometry. The current project concerns a major restructuring of

the central building including a double lateral and vertical extension, followed by an elevation. In order to better identify the building in a heterogeneous environment, the building is detached from neighboring buildings with a new volume. This volume, called the “attic”, with its simple and clear geometry, gives the building a reinforced identity.

“Platinan”, in Hisingsbron district, Gothenburg (Sweden)

Project achieved, within Erik Giudice Architects

The project is inserted in a spirit of inclusion and green densification of downtown Gothenburg. With mixed programming, flexible, open and evolving architecture, the project contributes to strengthening the urban dynamics of downtown Gothenburg.

The need for flexibility is essential to guarantee the scalability and adap-

tability of the building to changes in uses and technologies.

The building is designed to accommodate all types of varied programs, tertiary, educational functions, housing, services and businesses. This involves an initial investment, but in the long term it will save money when transforming the building.

The Platinan project is designed with a strong ambition in terms of sustainable development, it will be Leed Platinum certified and includes large green terraces and double facades which act as both a thermal buffer zone and greenhouses integrated into the building. This plant presence will contribute significantly to biodiversity, the microclimate and air quality. The project will be the subject of a scientific study in order to measure its performance.

The project is part of a new urban strategy in the heart of the Årsta district, south of Stockholm.

Formerly an agricultural area, this district is today characterized by a strong social mix and architectural heterogeneity.

The project is characterized by the design of two buildings on two separate blocks. The first urban block,

pentagonal in shape, includes a nursery, shops on the ground floor, as well as housing of different sizes on the upper floors.

To the north, a second triangular urban block, more versatile, includes student residences, a multi-storey car park, offices and a sports center on the upper floors.

The pentagonal-shaped building takes into account the movement of the sun throughout the year. The interior courtyard houses an outdoor play area for the children of the nursery and a sharing space for residents.

The project was born from an architectural competition organized by a private company and aims to create a tertiary headquarters building, a logistics center and a 225-space car park.

Two separate volumes, the “headquarters” building and the “logistics” building, divided into subunits, bring the project to life.

The first volume, the seat, made up of a geometry of two 9-meter

bars, recalls industrial buildings with sheds. These latter elements allow the entry of overhead light over the entire length of the building. In the second building, logistics, the demand for storage and workshops favor the choice of a long-span metal frame structure. In order to “hide” all of the buildings, a plant screen on an embankment protects most of the site from outside view.

The project of the New Natural History Museum of Friborg concerns the development of the former depot of the Arsenal of Friborg, a vestige of the Swiss industrial era, of remarkable architecture, by the addition of a new modern extension which will accommodate the museum’s new collections.

The new MHNF is designed as a

permeable building, inserted into a strong urban and landscaped axis. The flexible architecture will allow future evolution of the exhibition spaces. The platforms of the new extension will be partly supported by two concrete structural cores. Within these cores, museum circulation will develop, as well as immersive exhibition spaces.

The “super-ilôt” project as a device for (re)appropriation of public space in the Panier district in Marseille Master’s degree final project and thesis, Double-degree experience between ENSA-Marseille and Politecnico di Torino

The project is located in the historic Le Panier district of Marseille. The diploma deals with the Spanish concept of supermanza, around which the entire project will develop.

With a first phase of analysis of the neighborhood on several themes, the project starts with a proposal to reorganize the internal and external mobility network of the Panier with the creation of a new public parking lot to

deal with the problems identified following the preliminary analyses. In the second phase, the construction of one of the car parks is an opportunity to revitalize part of the Panier. The project explores the consequences of an urban divide, following reconstruction after the Second World War, and which today poses real problems of accessibility to the neighborhood.

La Spina 4, the “smart” heart of the Barriera di Milano district in Turin

The need for a large central boulevard providing a direct north-south connection to the city and a new urban park are the two main challenges of the project.

The new park, to the north of the site, includes spaces for leisure and sport. The heart of the project consists of two large squares surrounded by rectangular arcades, adjacent to the central boulevard.

The arcade, a sign of Turin’s identity, is the unifying element of the two squares which are separated by the central boulevard.

Wood’s architecture: the X-lam in Trofarello (Italy)

Bachelor’s degree project

The project is located in an expansion area of the town of Trofarello, near Turin.

The objective of this studio was to develop a project starting from the scale of the building down to the small architectural scale of the different elements (walls, floors, roofs, foundations, etc.), with the constraint of using wooden structures.

The “X-lam” load-bearing panel

construction system was chosen for this project. The choice of materials was made with reference to the environmental impact in the LCA (life cycle analysis) of each material used.

The use of technologies for the exploitation of renewable resources and the use of techniques to reduce energy consumption are two other main points of the project.

The “Progetto di Restauro” studio made it possible to address several themes concerning the question of conservation and enhancement of historical heritage.

The aim of the studio was to develop a project for the rehabilitation, conservation and valorization of a series of buildings in the historic center of the village of Magnano,

the “ricetto”. After analyzes on a territorial scale, attention was focused on the building scale. The interior and exterior survey of a building with professional tools, combined with the study of alterations, allowed the development of a rehabilitation and conservation project for the building, with future reuse scenarios.
