COMPETENCE CENTER The contemporary idea of a “competence center” – an organizational structure that coordinates the skills of various areas and companies – was applied to a shed on the design campus of the Instituto Politecnico di Torino (Polo Mirafiori), which is currently out of use. By working with the concept of adaptive reuse in architecture, the intention was to preserve the existing structure of the shed, rebuilding only the roof. Due to its location incorporated into the campus, the center will integrate scientific research with industry 4.0. The project seeks to house highly qualified research rooms and laboratories - integrated into the coworking and interaction areas, in addition to support-user service. It will also have a conference room, an exhibition gallery and a library. Besides, a public access zone for students and potential employees - with reception, restaurant and work area. Key concepts: accessibility, privacy, time optimization, flexibility and security.

dwellings in lishui mountains 麗水市 新居住区 zhejiang, china: a housing prototype final thesis, 2022 | polito & unb
The thesis report was the final product of a collective work done by students and professors at the Politecnico di Torino. The research group was created with the aim of making analyzes and proposals for the new urban plan of Lishui, China – after participating with the South China University of Technology in the contest whose theme was ‘Future ShanShui City: International Urban Design Competition – Dwellings in Lishui Mountains’. Subsequently to a brief moment of group work, each student went deeper into a specific question from Lishui new urban plan - which resulted in this thesis, focused on the housing issue of the elevated part. During the contest, the city masterplan was divided in three major areas:
agricultural valley, dwelling on the mountains and ecological reserve. In order to promote reflections on the second topic, efforts were made to ascertain, diagram and exemplify what this new dwelling could be. Therefore the idea was to explore a prototype “Dwellings in the Mountains”, represented by the new residential settlements of Lishui – placed like a ring at the foot of the mountains. These typologies interpret the traditional urban block with a central gap space, lifted above the infrastructures and connected to the topography. It was intended to analyze how this block organizes the distribution of housing and services, along with local and metropolitan mobility. This vertical mixed building seeks
to promote communication, reduce energy consumption and enrich places. Besides studying this proposed system – which integrates mountains, housing and urban infrastructure –, some case studies were also analyzed, both in theory and practice, complementing the research. In addition to these, the first part comprised a succinct study of urban conditions in China, contextualizing Lishui and explaining the premises of the competition held in 2020, which gave life to such studies. Following this path – theory, examples and propositions – the dissertation was built up and thus presented the features and challenges of a new Lishui.

apartment P&R atelier paralelo | project and built work | 2021 partnership with architect manoel fonseca
Apartment located in the centre of Brasilia, in a classic residential block situated in Lucio Costa's notorious “superquadra” - surrounded by green areas. The traditional plan was adapted to accommodate a 4-people family, whom mainly sought the integration of social spaces. While the bedrooms would mark individual privacy; the kitchen, living/dining room and home office would make it possible - and enjoyable - for the family to gather together and perform their activities. A few changes were made in the layout of the private area, with a smarter distribution of bathrooms and closet, in addition to the decision to keep the balconies - and contact with the external nature. The biggest transformation took place in the kitchen and laundry room, whose interchange allowed one better interaction with the dining and living room. The former store room has given way to the office, reflecting the change in working relationships seen in recent years (priority to the home office). Finally, a wide steel-and-glass frame (with sliding doors) segregated the social areas, in order to provide different uses for the residents, besides promoting the passage of light. The original concrete structure has been restored and exposed.
