About me
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE I’m an Architect with a strong critical spirit and innate curiosity and creativity. Art, philosophy, architecture and film are some of my interests that represent continuous sources of inspiration for my job and personal growth. I am driven by a relentless desire to discover new things and broaden the horizons. Thanks to my experiences, I learned the importance of research new materials, pay attention to details and how to make them executive. Moreover, also working in different field of my competence, like the world of jewellery, I have developed a great predisposition to change, creativity and problem solving. I especially excel at identifying and communicating with potential clients, developing, and implementing new design concepts, and working on the constant improvement of the client satisfaction. My interests are profoundly rooted in architectural culture and history, understood as a vast field of exploration related to construction and installation of environments for specific purposes, expanding to a large variety of programs ranging from architecture to scenography, installations and interior.

Interior Proposal Jewelry Sales Area
ATELIER JEWELLERY & CURIOSITY
The proposal for the new Atelier divides the space into two distinct spaces – contextually referred to as street, gallery and salon. The main area It works as an extension of the street providing a quick experience of the store, where the entire collection is exhibited and allow customized service for clients and patient exploration of special pieces. The underlying idea for the design was to synthesis architecture and display, using the whole space as a stage for the designer’s production. Unconventional materials were used, emphasizing this relationship and pulling away from the typical jewelry store. Plan Scale 1:50

MJOSA SENTRUM is a project that improves and connects Gjovik natural qualities into a cohesive whole. Its based on the perception that water is one of the city’s main natural qualities and wants to take advantage of it to create an urban plan in close connection with the city and its natural surroundings. The most dense and active part of Gjovik now stands on the north side of the river, with almost no relationship with the close Miosa and Hunnselva river. We aim to develop a system of
neighbourhoods where culture houses, innovative housing, contemporary workplaces and ecological opportunities come together in a sustainable ensemble. Specific and generic spaces are balanced to create an attractive environment. Culture, leisure and services are provided with the inclusion of public parks, waterfront and squares for recreational activities. The plan is conceived to adapt to its growth, therefore each step is independent from the other. The completion of each stage realizes an
unified and controlled pattern of urban spaces of different densities and scales. It is conceived to become a flexible tool and a framework for future design of sub-areas. For its position and proximity to the city center, the area at the north of the river is chosen for the cultural district, for leisure, offices and residences, to promote a vibrant space with life from dawn to dusk. This area extends towards the lake, adapting the river mouth in a way that promotes the enlargement of the existing marina.
City life needs to be the starting point for this planning process. Participation between politicians, citizens and developers should be considered. Traditional participation meetings can be supported by the use of new media, through online applications that allow the citizens to be informed and comment about the city plans. Data collection and
post occupacy tests should be used to improve the planning and design guidelines for each step of the development. Particular emphasis has to be placed on integrating functions to obtain the spatial and programmatic complexity that characterizes good public spaces. The urban structure is designed through a grid that adapts to the different situa-
tions and to the planned changes of density. It relates to the city center’s using its general scale of the blocks, or smaller. The accesses to the area are simple and clear, providing easy orientation and accessibility. Urban empty spaces are mostly green, and they area clearly defined, and vary from public.
CULTURAL CENTER The cultural center is visible from the city center, from the main road and form the south bank of the river, where most of the new development will sit. It acts as a catalyzator. It will have the potential to become a new center. The accesses to the cultural
center are from the road at the north, and from the pedestrian paths at the south, from the river and from the kulturbridge. The buildings sit around a small square suitable for outdoor events and concerts. The buildings scale is adapted to the scale of the city. The layout offers the opportunity to break the volumes in 2 or 3 par-
ts, with an unifying continuous first floor promenade. The square is welcoming, it opens towards the river and the lake. Sun exposition is taken into account, with a wide opening to the south and little shadow lines from the west. The kultuurbridge is designed to invite people to stay, it is wide and equipped with round benches.

The area assigned for the Norsk Skogfinsk Museum in Svullrya, with its naturalistic tones, is the perfect background for “telling” stories about the Norwegian Skogfinsk. The quiet flow of water in the Rotna and its peaceful sounds awake remote memories. It reminds us about how history and heritage can flow through time and help us interpret our times more deeply. The “telling” of the tale of Skogfinsk history needs an architecture that is delicate but still of great relevance,
characterized by a clear atmosphere made of nature, sounds, natural materials and traditional construction methods. The museum sits on the west bank of Rotna, is in relation with the river on one side and the forest on the other side. The museum concept divides the volumes in three, with the central core occupied by a double height foyer that acts as a connector between interior and exterior spaces. It serves both floors and together with the cafeteria it offers a large public sequen-

ce of spaces that are open towards the river and towards the wood. It is equally accessible from both sides at ground level, while a ramp gives direct access to the second floor, to allow separate use of the auditorium and library. The simple body of the building gathers all the main areas around one central core, facilitating visitors orientation.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Materials and structures are chosen to realize a robust and durable solution based on simple and clear solutions. The parallel pattern of the structural wood frames is maintained from outside and inside structuring the whole building. The structure uses wood beams and pillars set on a grid with very
low spans from 3,5 meters to 7 meters approximately. The roof is finished with galvanized tin sheeting over the thick insulation layers. Taking into account the cold snowy climate of the area, we considered convenient not to use roof geometries with opposing slopes and not even skylights. The facades will be transparent or cladded depending on the function they house. The wood cladding on the faรงade is made on untreated larch that will blend into
the surroundings as it undergoes the bleaching process by time and weather. Natural light will be controlled by the use of shading panels and curtains when required. The interior appears with surfaces and details in a rustic, low profile appearance, chosen with the purpose of promoting the experience of the museum as a vibrant workshop and a place to be. While clearly a modern architecture it also resonates with local architectural traditions.

The thread of the Villino Cencelli project is the rapport between respect for the identity of a historical construction and the desire for a confrontation with it using contemporary instruments and tools. The aim of the project is to develop guidelines, to be translated into precise actions respecting the budget, with the purpose of triggering a dialogue between classicism, lightness and modernity. The Villino, as presented to us by the owner, was very heterogeneous, the result of
many alterations. Details and finishes were different on each floor, the decoration of public spaces was sometimes contemporary with the era of construction, at other times the result of awkward imitations “in style”. The proposal moves in fact in search of a natural homogeneity of the spaces, through a series of coordinated interventions, using mainly natural materials such as iron and wood and elements such as curtains and plants. We use color to give identity to some work

environments; the white painting in the spaces where the classical decoration is abundant, to make them lighter. We propose the reuse of objects taken from the world of television film sets to define public spaces: giraffes, umbrellas, cameras, director’s chairs, etc. Some of these objects can be recycled as illuminating, decorative, functional or other objects. In the workspaces, there are few changes, the minimum necessary. The abundance of bathrooms is exploited

by eliminating some in favour of the work spaces. The need for privacy in some rooms can be solved by adding dividing elements in plasterboard, with acoustic insulation. In other cases where the architectural structure Reception
is more delicate and less suitable for the realization of walls, we propose the use of velvet curtains, to obtain original spaces, which are flexible and offer acoustic comfort.

In the central hall on the ground floor where people can meet, have a coffee, work or have informal meetings. Since such informal activities can lead to a situation of acoustic discomfort, we foresee the presence of acoustic absorbing panels strategically placed on the walls and in the center of the ceiling on the second floor. The table, 12 meters long, is in
painted wood, supported by an arched iron structure, which thanks to its shape dialogues with the curved lines present in the hall, thus characterizing the space without dominating it. The elements in white painted steel, in addition to supporting the table, are intended to make space and mark areas. Three suspensions mark the verticality of the central empty spa-
ce, descending from the second-floor ceiling. If needed, the table can be optimized and designed to be dismantled into parts, the iron structure re-configured, to make the central space more suitable for large events.

HOUSE AL
Interior Perspective The Living The previous condition of the apartment was incompatible with the requirements of the new owner. The client’s requests are clear and precise, maximum 5 months to minimize the inconvenience of moving the family to another house, by rethinking the living areas (kitchen and the living room) and the more private rooms / bathrooms so that each family member can use the
areas autonomously. Among with the purely functional aspects, a new architectural language is needed to reconfigure the space overlapping the existing one without excessive modifications in order to keep within budget and time restrictions. Apart from minimal changes of some walls, the project sets itself the objective of configuring a diaphragm
device that allows the day room to be separated from the sleeping area through a frame system of metal profiles on which two panels with semicircular mirrors slide freely; this gives the space a play of reflections that changes according to the needs of opening and closing of the relative rooms.

MATERIAL
Interior Perspective the kitchen In the project idea, the metal tubes fold and generate a motif able to transform it in supports for new furnishings. Another important goal was to introduce natural daylight in the bathroom and in the hallway, as to mitigate the use of artificial light, through the inclusion of a continuous frosted glass along the wall that divides the living and sleeping areas. A stimulating and synergistic exchange of suggestions and research with clients guided the choice
of furnishings and the design of custom-made furniture. All the project elements, in their different scales, tend to create environments that are at the same time architecture and interior design able to reflect and harmonize the most rational and the most emotional aspects of the inhabitants through a contemporary language that does not conceal, but highlights the character of the building.

years) due to high fertility rates, though poor living conditions determine a high infant mortality rate. These aspects are more severe in Tambacounda, where poverty levels are higher, access to drinking water is a major issue and consequently death rates are higher, especially for infants. This data emerges from the population per age graph, where we can see that people aged 20 are almost half the population.

HOSPITAL LAYOUT
The following schemes represent the advisable layout for properly designed Maternity and Pediatric Wards. The principles highlighted, suggested by our consultants in healthcare architecture, will then be applied to the design proposal. The healthcare layout proposal is conceived in continuity
with the current system, composed of several “pavillions”, and aims to create a single macro-space that we will call “Mother and Child Area”. Thanks to its homogeneity and clear planimetric distribution, this space is able to accomplish assistance and operative synergies that can be shared and are therefore extremely effective. The whole proposal is based on a deep patient-centered approach or, in other words, on the belief that the patients (mothers and children, in this
case) have to be put at the heart of the structure, clearly directing them towards simple and direct paths, along which they can find appropriate healthcare spaces and continuous and personalized assistance. The assistence is carefully designed according to the intensity of treatments (High Care and Low Care), organizing the sequence of the spaces based on the intensity of the assistance required.

HOSPITAL LAYOUT DESIGN PROPOSAL
The first aim of the design proposal is to improve the exsisting buildings, working on the refinement of the paths and the layout (see chapter 03), but also on the quality of the envelope. The first improvement concerns the roofing system, since it is the most exposed part of the building. Our proposal puts a truncated cone-shaped
second roofing on top of the current one (composed of a simple flat slab). This second layer is composed of a simple and light structure, whose geometry is inspired by the local vernacular architecture, thus allowing for a consistent saving in terms of materials and resources. A double roof ensures several practical benefits, such as: - It contributes to solar radiation control by limiting risk of overheating for the current roof and, as a consequence, for internal spaces.
- It provides a wide surface useful for the allocation of solar panels. - It can collect rainwater inside the courtyards, where it can be harvested in tanks. - It improves the microclimatic conditions of outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces for connecting and waiting areas serving the pavilions. - It enhances the architectural quality of the existing structures giving them a specific and somehow iconic identity.

Several ventilation chimneys are arranged on top of the spaces that require high ventilation rates (namely labour, kangaroo and infections diseases rooms). The new roofing system act as a shading element for the roofs, thus reducing internal heat gains.
Befor entering the rooms, the air is precooled thanks to the transition through the vegetated and properly shaded courtyard.
The presence of vegetatation is meant not only to provide pleasant views to the rooms, but also to effectively shade outdoor waiting areas, purify air and provide natural evaporative cooling.
The roofing system is also able to collect rainwater and address it to the central basin.
Good internal daylight levels, achieved through properly arranged windows, allow for a consistent saving in terms of electrival lighting.
The rainwater passes through several layers of stones and sand and, once purified, is harvested in tanks.

VIEWS DESIGN PROPOSAL
ESSENTIAL IS INTUITIVE
Perhaps there are no real surprises in life. Perhaps, if we are paying full attention, not only to reason but also to our emotions and body, everything is known. Intuitive logic is a silent, alchemic response to a question that might not even be fully articulated. We all possess the capacity to synthesize thought, feeling, imagination and sensation into a single insight, free of distraction. And when we find ourselves in this space between feeling and knowing, we glimpse a deeply satisfying kind of intelligence. It is something that was there all along, unseen, unheard. Shapes that hover between real and abstract: familiar but not quite identifiable. Silhouettes that imply personality. Materials that conjure a physical feeling without even touching the surface. We fill in the gaps. If we are open and receptive, we might see and hear: what is true, what is right and necessary, how we want to live.
