MICRO KITCHEN _ FALL 2018 _ Independent Study _ Elisabetta Terragni Duration: 3 months project
03
This is a modular kitchen, it takes advantage from all the walls and ceiling space. We develop a few possibilities, they both share the same organization and logic to the space, the first one is made with simple frames that allows light to spread further and the second is made with wood that helps the necessity of storage and gives a more cozy feeling.
There are two frames in the middle of the room and both are hold by a carrier on the ceiling storage, this allows them to move from one side of the kitchen to the other. Modifying according to the need.

SHAKER VILLAGE TURNED INTO A PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL _ FALL 2017 _ Studio Brad Horn _ LOCATION: MAINE, U,.S.A. Duration 3 Month project
11
NEW COMUNITY SCHOOL CAMPUS The objective of my project was to create a new community over the original buildings, revising its architectural integrity and applying surgeries to them. I decided that a progressive school would be a great program for this area, and inheriting some activities done by the shaker community would allow to maintain the site’s historical integrity.
The reason of a progressive school over a regular school is that to bring a forward thinking concept of education by lecturing the students not in a classroom but immersing them into activities that would allow them to learn and create by being part of the site and the architecture.
13
The Shakers were a Christian community located in the state of Maine in the 18th century, With the extinction of this community over the years, their original site with their original buildings were selected for this studio project.
SURGERIES The surgeries done in the buildings include structural reinforcements of the buildings structures. In the communal house, there were created shafts of glass where once the fireplace shafts were, allowing diffused light into all areas of the building. Also walls were replaced by vast open areas inside the building where multiple classes would happen at the same time. The spaces would be divided by open architectural elements.

CAMPUS
How you recovered a community that is almost extinguish? Is is better to create a new community from the scratches of the last one? Is that is so, I’ll create the best community out from the ruins of the past.
The campus was develop away from the main road for safety reasons. In between the building a great common area grows. Galleries and sceneries are everywhere for the kids to learned and live.

PLAYROOM CENTRAL PARK _ FALL 2017 _ Independent Work _ CONSTRUCTED Duration: 4 week project
21
Working as a babysitter for a family with 4 kids between the age of 0-5 in the Upper West Side showed me how disorganized a room can become in a matter of minutes. Over 6 years the family has been collecting toys of all sizes and shapes so their kids could play with it. The result was that the kids ended up playing with only the same few toys that were easier to reach since everything was scattered around the house. I started to work close with their mother to understand how to improve the storage space for toys while creating a simple organizational system that the kids would follow. By analyzing the kids school design, their routine and their home I created an efficient Playroom that offers a place to relax and read, somewhere to do art crafts and homework, a big open space where imagination can be manifested and finally a picture tag organizing system, where the kids can see exactly the picture of the item they need (for those who haven’t learned how to read).

BEFORE - AFTER
The orange shelves were already owned by the family, so I’ve reused them inside the closet to liberate space outside and the result was that they served as shelves for the closet on the lower level an open space was left for toys with wheels. In the middle shelves I placed containers tagged with their appropriate toy category. To break the monotony and to bring a little bit of character to the room, a mountain chain was painted representing the horizon of an adventurous landscape. They are the set in which the older of the children, Miles, can play with his LEGOS. Miles have a collection of over 5,000 pieces of LEGOS. That were carefully separated by color and function. they are located at the top shelves. The lower shelves were separated with containers with art supplies and their own individual container for each of the children, where thy can store their latest creations. The center table was first against the wall. Once brought to the center, it became the centerpiece of the room and where the kids can play on it simultaneously. The bicycles were places on the far wall where they occupy little space. The sofa-bed maintained it’s position as it serves for the parents to observe their children playing.

LUPO MARINO RENDERS _ FALL 2017 _WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH RAPHAEL CASSEB _ CONSTRUCTED _ LOCATION: Washington D.C. The Wharf Duration: 3 week project
27
Under CMYK and in collaboration with Raphael Casseb, we were presented with a project of an Italian restaurant in downtown Washington DC. The project of the architect A. J. Burney counted with an industrial/maritime design with the use of materials such as steel, birch wood and copper. Our part in this project was to develop the 3D model and renderings for client presentations. The model was created using SketchupPRO, The Rendering shots were photographed using Lumion and post-production was done on Photoshop
“ The first fundamental of successful city life: People must take a modicum of responsibility for each other even if they have no ties to each other. This is a lesson no one learns by being told. It is learned from the experience of having other people without ties of kinship or close friendship or formal responsibility to you take a modicum of responsibility for you. “ JANE JACOB

The Memorial Museum contest was developed in summer 2015, I worked in a new experimental architectural office call MOBO making the elevations of the proposal, the building was supposed to be 328 ft. Including 6 huge exhibition areas, one above the other. My responsibilities: - Development of all elevations - Post-production of sections and elevations An auditorium its located On the second floor with the capacity to gather 500 people. Right next to the auditorium is the library and a toy library for the children. The first floor is designed as an open space with a huge green inside area.

B. ARCH THESIS _ SPRING 2015 _ ACADEMIC LOCALIZATION: Bogotรก, COL Duration: 10 months project
41
My thesis for the Pontifical Xavierian University is the culmination of what I learned and developed over the 5 years of bachelor degree. It is proposed one flexible and functional module, that has the capacity of adapting to any soil and landscape. Its structure is composed triangular steel frame systems which allow the structure to modulated into different shapes. On the apartment
themselves, these triangles would allow designers to create different spaces and as need arises, the spaces could grow or shrink by removing the triangles. There are also no walls. The spaces are separated by architectural elements and furniture. The floor is designed to be able to be removed in which allow for easier maintenance

COMMUNITY ISLAND _ SPRING 2014 _ Studio Alfonso Solano LOCALIZATION: COL Duration: 4 months project
45
CUPICA For one week my class went to an Island in Choco, Colombia. The name of the Island is Cupica. The final program was to be a communal space . The main variable was that it had to be in a very small budget. The communal space would accommodate the villagers of the island. There, many activities would take place. It could be used as a sports court, It would be created a stage for performances. The hard floor was created using empty bottles that upside down created a plane surface. The structure would be to create a wood frame system. This system would serve as wall until it becomes the roof of the building and creates a shadow over nearby areas. For furniture, car tires would be recycled into benches for the population to gather.v
